You'll see the stone being rolled from the tomb and the man himself walk out Jim as soon as i get to a scanner.

Moss if your looking for Cavan on the map we're the ones close enough to the North to shop in Asda but managed to skip the 'Nordie' tag, close enough to Dublin to get the 8th of December shopping done but far enough not to be bothered by the 30mph limit, and far enough away from the deep south to be worried about flying dusters.

Lo Li, the fields of County Cav
Where once we watched them beat the crap outta Mayo
Seanie J was on the wing
He had goals and points to sling
Its so holy round the fields of certain well endowed Cavan women Cavan GG News - Page 4 Herz

We're waiting to see if the Meteor prices go up or down before we sell. It's just like the hunt for Sam. We're biding our time.. Twisted Evil

Ah Dougal that'd take ages and I dunno how the Ed posted it but this was what we sent (would love to have a scan of the actual article for Doubting Thomas from Wexford though! Cavan GG News - Page 4 Icon_lol

) ....

Well GAA Tipster is a relatively new web forum full of the most intelligent posters you will ever come across – except the Galway lads! All life and counties are there – we even have Leitrim boys there who have an opinion on football. The age profile is varied from those bordering on senility to those in the first flush of youth!

The more senior brigade often wax lyrical about the good old days as they sit over their keyboards with a nice hot cup of Horlicks. The many Tyrone posters are recent converts to the GAA and could not get their heads around the 125th anniversary as they reckon the GAA is only 7 years old. But in the reminiscences you will never fail to hear the Breffni mentioned.

We have many fine Cavan posters aboard and they are knowledgeable and entertaining - but the pain drips from their posts – and we feel their pain! We know that Cavan is steeped in football history. With a quite incredible 39 Ulster titles – and five All Ireland titles! We also know that most of these successes came in the 20s, 30s and 40s.

On GAA Tipster we have tried to tease out the reasons for this. How could a county that were the absolute blue bloods of Ulster football just disappear? How could the whole tradition just evaporate? How could a county that more than matched the great teams, that produced real GAA legends like John Joe, the recently deceased Mick Higgins, Simon Deignan, Charlie Gallagher, Gunner Brady, Stephen King big Dermot Mc and Larry Reilly just stop producing talent. Well I hate to tell ye – we just don’t know – it’s a mystery to even the great brains that populate the Tipster site! Its right up there with Fatima, Shergar and the Loch Ness monster!

So, accepting that we are bereft of a solution and are at a remove, what can we do to help? What can a disparate and mostly anonymous group of Dubs, Wexicans, Mayonaissers, Donegallians, Tipperarians and a host of other countymen do? We even have Farneys and Longfordonians aboard!

Well we can ensure that Cavan’s achievements aren’t consigned to history. For every mention of O’Sé we will answer O’Reilly, for every Joyce we’ll counter Higgins and for every Foley we will say Brady. We will re-open eyes to the phenomenon that was Cavan football – and will be Cavan football again.

And we won’t be hurlers on the ditch either. We will travel to Kingspan and elsewhere and lend our voices to our adopted county with full, throaty, guttural support. We will learn Paddy Reilly if necessary. We will not talk of potholes or meanness. We will travel with hope in our hearts and affection for the legend and tradition that is Cavan Gaelic football.

It has been long – far too long – our time has come. Breffni abú!

**Grenvile** Fri Feb 19, 2010 12:29 am

Sorry for the delay on this!

Sorry it's not great bit of a rush job with the scanner but sure if it's enough to make the Wexican believe then it'll do rightly!

It takes a few Galls' boyos for to get the Gaels lads bothered about playing Antrim. Sadly they weren't around so the lads weren't fired up for it..
