Very disrespectful reply. Football players in every county bar yours are engaging in training plans designed by competent individuals. Cavan have a core of lads who have been training hard for near a decade. Not one of them is lacking in physical conditioning.

Roscommon hurlers beating Wexford in the 1984 Centenary Cup championship was right up there as a huge shock. That was a prestigious competition in a special year for the GAA. Cork beat us by 12 points in the next round which was a decent enough result. facethepuckout (Roscommon) - Posts: 213 - 05/12/2020 00:23:53 2318393 Link 0 |
I don't think we'll see fire like what Cavan will bring this evening for while. I genuinely don't think it will be enough for them but its hard not to see them leaving not having done themselves proud. From what I've seen of them anyway. Safe journey to the Cavan team, avoid any tolls, I'll get my coat... realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 05/12/2020 01:18:18 2318395 Link 2 |
There's a lot of variables involved. You don't have Dublin in your province. You really rode your luck getting to the final this year. When you had such trouble with Antrim... that's not a good sign. You beat one team of consequence. Monaghan have lost to Fermanagh and other weaker teams early in Ulster campaigns. Donegal are a team ye played your best against. But that Donegal game could be your all Ireland final. Cavan are going to be nervous hitting Croke Park tomorrow. It's not just another pitch. It's very new to the team. If ye overdo the physicality in a clumsy fashion, as ye have tended to do, Dublin will destroy ye when ye have black cards. Also you can't kick early nervy wides. Absolutely everything has to go right. I hope it does. But I don't for a second believe there is a chance all will align. CC2020 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 173 - 05/12/2020 01:54:59 2318396 Link 0 |
Cavan have been an absolute credit this year and winning Ulster was their All Ireland. We all like to dream of fairy tales but in essence, they beat 2 serious players who had their eye on bigger fish and were caught in Monaghan and Donegal. No matter what way you look at it - Cavan simply don't have the players to hurt the mighty Dubs. They will be beaten some day, but unfortunately for the nuetral, it won't be tomorrow. Game over by half time for me - here's hoping we're all proved wrong and a competitive game involving the Dubs would be very welcome! ardmhacha (Armagh) - Posts: 172 - 05/12/2020 02:18:07 2318397 Link 1 |
I think it would be brilliant to have a end of year game after the championship is over. Between Dublin v the best 15 players in the country to make up a rest of Ireland team. It would give Dublin a proper challenge and it would give opposition players a once in a lifetime chance of getting a victory over the dubs and would also give us fans a chance to actually watch a full match involving Dublin without turning the channel or falling asleep. ( Its Its obviously a joke ) but let's face it what other team is ever going to beat Dublin at this rate.

Mullinealachta, a crossroads in the middle of nowhere, winning 3 Senior Longford titles in a row and a Leinster title, overcoming the unbackable Kilmacud in the final. Now if only we could call on the man behind that miracle. . cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 4974 - 05/12/2020 09:35:47 2318418 Link 2 |
I remember those days - Roscommon had a great record at home and were unlucky to miss out on promotion to division 1. They gave a decent account of themselves against Galway in the Connacht final around the same time. Westmeath got promoted to division 1 a few years later and beat Galway at home when Galway were all-Ireland champions. Antrim had a great team from the mid 80s to the early 90s and Down and Derry were quite competitive for a while too. It would be great to see all these counties and others competing at the top level again.

Safer than going through Kells and having Meath men throwing bricks through the bus windows like 1997 eh? opa01 (Cavan) - Posts: 500 - 05/12/2020 10:13:11 2318428 Link 4 |
I wouldn't worry too much about that Opa if they're anything like their countys forwards they'll miss their target anyway!

Haha I wish ye the best of luck and I hope ye can do it. My favourite sports manager of all time is Brian Clough as he often said himself "miracles can happen" and he brought Nottingham Forrest from nothing to league and back to back European cup champions.

Unfortunately there will be no shock even though we would all love Cavan to do it. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 05/12/2020 12:15:45 2318461 Link 0 |
Listen, its very clear you know very little about Cavan football. I know exactly where we stand and the huge task ahead of us later on but you seem to think we're a team of chancers chasing their luck. Show some respect
