Good all round team performance in the second half. Great to see that the team is improving match by match. I'd fancy them to get a win against Armagh at home but it won't be easy. Keeping discipline will be key in this game.

I wouldn't be surprised to see O' Connor start this weekend. Fed off scraps last week but well able to win his own ball, at one stage last week he went up for a ball,apparently smothered by 2 Tyrone men and came out with the ball. He's dangerous too and i'd say he's ahead of Johnston in the pecking order currently.

Until the management let the players get game time with their clubs people like Martin Dunne will not commit. He was out after the Armagh game in 2014 got no football worth talking about for the rest of the year. Got some game time in the national league with high balls been put in on top of him. Got an few minutes in the championship. So up to July he got dam all football played. Why wasn't he (and others) not allowed to sharpen up and get game time with their clubs. From what i have been told all he wants is to play some ball this year and the only way he is guaranteed game time is with his club.

Gerry Smith was an outstanding minor but in my opinion hasn't progressed enough to be called into the senior set up. Doesn't stand out for Lavey that much and I also seen him playing for Assan Gaels U21 team twice this year and he wasn't standing out the way I had expected him to in his last year at that grade.

Good to see Keating back. He's a dynamic player with many attributes. Although would like to see him at Full Forward. We can then play Argue at Midfield alongside Gearoid. Givney and Mossy are other options too. Any word on Rory Dunne?
Rory Dunne hasn't kicked ball since the London game. He is a long shot this year I think

People who start saying that 2016 is a "write off" due to a player being called up that they dislike would want to take a good long look at themselves. Can you really call yourself a true supporter if your planning on boycotting the team due to disliking one player?
Myles your critical of Johnston playing for another county. Yet your planning on walking away from supporting the team in protest. Seems a bit hypercritical of you Myles!
The management will call up an array of different players leading up to the McKenna Cup. Some will be kept on, others won't. Regardless of his age or what went on in the past, Johnston has talent. He might be a little older and lost some of his pace but he's still a credible option in the League at least. As I said in a previous post, we're not blessed with many good forwards or free takers. All avenues have to be explored by the management and that includes Johnston.
I'm proud to be a Cavan supporter. I'm not going to distant myself from games just because I've an issue with one player out of a panel of 30. People on this forum with negative and begrudging attitudes are better off staying at home!!
Its a bit of a red herring trying to turn this into a "dislike" of one player. In my opinion Johnston betrayed his team mates, the supporters, Cavan GAA and the wider GAA ethos. He has shown no remorse for it. As for my bona fides as a supporter, I know what games and efforts I have made to go to matches (every game is an away game for me, Breffni is 2.5 hrs from where I live), I dont need to justify them anymore than that. I will not be a hypocrite and stand in the terrace as an unrepentant Sean Johnston takes the field as in my opinion that would be to show support to the decision.
I have no wish to get into a slagging match with you Ollie or anyone else (we all did that before and it was not a healthy undertaking), positions on this are well known. I see this as a reckless decision by Hyland and has the potential to cause untold trouble in the camp and in Cavan GAA. I can't and won't support it. That's my position on it right or wrong.
