Well the replies sound quite a like between yourself aka word for word bewteen you and swords.

There was enough stuff said about Johnston, he is an amatuer player without making up lies etc about players been brought into the panel and playing against him. And you were the one getting worked up in the First place when i post the article from the Independent, so thats a bit hypocriteal.

But water under the bridge.
I

Rodney - I am not posting under another name on this site, either accept it or don't thats up to you. Secondly, I did not say Miller was one of the 6 dropped so if you are going to accuse someone of lies at least accuse the correct person.
Trust me, I'm not getting worked up. Life is too short.

Whats with the aggressive reply Rodney? First up I am not the same person as s_word. When I asked why Johnson was not playing with Cavan this year it was a rhetorical question, the  point being he doesn't want to play with Cavan anyway and that is his right. I don't dislike Johnson, I don't know him, I never met him and I certainly don't care who he plays for. But in my opinion he left Cavan to find success elsewhere and it had very little to do with being dropped/left of the panel. Thats just my opinion based on the evidence I see - you dont have to agree with me.

You can't drop players from a panel that doesn't exist, I'm being pedantic but it is still a valid point. I tried to explain to you that some of the 6 players were not selected due to injury and inability to commit - not because they were a bad influence or any smear on their character. I know the guy in May was asked in by Hyland and thats my point, he couldnt commit to Cavan then either - hence why he wasn't selected in the first place.

I'm not sure why you are getting so worked up about this. If it helps I'm not going to mention it again as its water under the bridge and I'm looking forward to an improved season with the seniors hopefully

Well there is a point there that s_words has.

Firstly, the whole panel was disbanded and then a new panel was called in of which 6 were not on it from the previous panel. You might say the 6 were dropped or maybe you might say they didn't make the panel for some reason.

6 lads did not make the panel (leaving Miller aside). There is nothing to suggest they were all left off for the same reason. I know for a fact one of them was left of as he wouldn't have been able to commit to it at the correct level - Hyland then asked this guy to come back and he couldn't come back for the same reasons he was left off. I was told another of them was left off to get over recurring injuries. The other 4 I don't know but I assume there were reasons and that Andrews didn't decide to cut off his nose to spite his face. I also don't accept at all that there was no way back for these players either. Andrews was not likely to last either so anyone who upped and left did so for other reasons as I have said before as a new manager would have a different view on things

Anyway - its ancient history

Is Mooney in the U21 plans this year as there has been no sign of him yet? How fit can he be if he is not training due to injury?

I think it is a good thing that they lost. Imagine if they had won by 5/6 points! Hammering Leitrim and then comfortable wins against Offaly and Longford would have increased the chances of them being complacent against Monaghan. I think Monaghan will be ready to ambush us and that lose might be what is needed to keep us focused on the job at hand.

We seem to have made a lot of subs early in the 2nd half so also maybe part of the problem was giving so many lads a run out? At the end of the day its Ulster we want to win and no one is really too bothered about the Hastings cup.

Are the times and dates out for these games.

I think this could be a good result for Cavan in some ways. Game is not won sure until its over and no team is invincible  This tells them there is more work to be done

Longford win 1.9 to 0 .10

All square 0.10 to 1.7

12 mins into 2nd half, 9 to 5 for Cavan

HT. Cavan 7 Longford 3

20mins in, Cavan 4 longford 2.

You haven't been on here very long, have you?

It is his written opinion is it not? Are you so insecure that you need him to come here every day yo repeat it?

For the record Itchy,because Terry is now Cavan manager doesn't mean anything.
Johnston put in the transfer to Kildare in December 2011,obviously when Andrews was still manager, he was then training with St Kevins and Kildare and was at all the Kildare league games. Obviously couldn't tog out as the transfer still hadn't gone through.

He wasn't just going to decide to go back to Cavan in May after being involved with Kildare from December. Andrews getting the sack made no difference he was set on playing with Kildare. Good luck to him.

I know all that Rodney. However, if he really loved his county and he really left as he was told by a former manager that he wasn't going to play for Cavan again then he could have decided to transfer back quite easily (since he works and lives in Cavan). Terry Hyland is on record as saying he would consider him for selection. Where there is a will there is a way, where  there is no will then there is no way. I suppose if you believe Sean Johnstons reasons for leaving then fair enough. I believe he left to chase success elsewhere and like I said that's all I need to know about it to be glad he is no longer a Cavan player. Anyway - I think there is nothing to be gained by discussing on here in a Cavan thread.
