if nobody knows what he might have done if he reached givney then why are the denn officals trying to make out that he was going in to try and stop it. it was unfortunate that he got his jaw broke and in fairness nobody wants to see that so we'll leave the disscussion at this and hope he makes a speedy recovery

yea boojangles he broke his jaw alright a melee broke out after the denn full back adrian cahill elbowed david givney in the mouth in an off the ball incident david givney struck him and a free for all occured martin cahill came running into the melee making a charge for david givney and one of our players met him with a box which resulted in his injuries. we wish martin the best and no one wants to see such an injury but the bad press mountnugent are getting over it is not fair they are making it out that martin cahill was in the middle of a melee trying to break it up when in actual fact he made a lung bursting spirint for one wing of the pitch into the middle of the goals to get involved going straight for david givney he went into that melee with the intention of getting david givney as he made a clear run to where david and his brother were fighting he went there with intent and not to break it up as the denn pro is making out on the hoganstand and in doing so he ran the risk of getting hurt himself which he did it was an unfortunate incident but he is no saint in all of this and neither is his brother he went into the melee to cause harm and in doing so he ran the risk of getting hurt himself which he did. im not saying we are saints up here but the way the denn club are making up lies is making my blood boil they had it up on the hoganstand main page that it was an off the ball incident and was unprovoked when clearly it was a melee that happened and he was involved in it.

i dont really care about him either good riddance is what i say to much has been made of it both in the media and in cavan gaa circles its time we moved on and concentrated on the real cavan players we have not just the ones who like to see their name in the paper and make headlines like jelly did the last few months

sj is now a kildare player lads

Seanie Johnston's appeal to the CAC has proven successful and he will be registered as a St Kevin's player.

The news means that Johnston's Cavan career is officially over after the Central Appeals Committee deemed that the ruling of the CCCC last week was incorrect. At that time the CCCC decided that the intercounty transfer from Cavan Gaels to St Kevins could not go ahead on the grounds of residency and ethos.

However the CAC ruled last night that the move should go ahead as: "there had been no objection by either Cavan Gaels or Cavan County Committee within the ten day time limit prescribed in the Official Guide."

Cavan Gaels tweeted this morning: "The longest on going saga in GAA is finally over."

Kildare FM broke the news earlier today and revealed that Croke Park had confirmed the news, with St Kevin's awaiting the papers which will allow him to line out for his new club.

Under rule Johnston cannot line out with Kildare until such time as he has played a club championship game within the county. He was ineligible to play in St Kevin's first round SFC game last weekend and currently the second round is not scheduled to take place until after Kieran McGeeney's team exit the championship.

Kildare play Offaly in the Leinster championship on June 17 and were St Kevin's second round match fixed before that date, then Johnston would be eligible to play for his new county.

i was looking at the hoganstand there and the negativity being talked there was unreal i actually thought we done ok today we worked hard and we created chances some of the scores we missed were very scoreable chances people are expecting to much from these players you have to look at the fact that this team was in the all ireland semi final and only a kick of a ball away from being in the final and we scored 1-10 i dont think any team scored as much as cavan did today against them in last years championship we had some good performances today in the likes of keating who kicked 5 points and caused magee alot of problems the two new lads put in at the deep end were very good mcloughlin and clarke and played well considering it was their first senior cavan game podge worked hard and gave it his all hes a very honest player bud done very well and i cant figure out why he was taken off and was unlucky not to score a goal and a point the wood work coming to donegals rescue twice givney played well at midfield and was up and down the pitch all day and chipped in with 2 or 3 good points and was on his own for most of the first half as g-mac looked tired and way off the pace prob was too early for him to come back and didnt look fit at all. mossy corr came in and done very well  another honest player who gives it his all i think if we can get the right draw we could pick up one or two wins along the way in the back door i felt positive leaving cavan that we are making some progress and we are doing something right we just have to be patient it wont happen over night we just need to start believing as a team

i heard down bet us at the weekend by 8 from what i heard we actually had a great first half going in a point down playing against a gale force wind alot of changes were made at half time to try different things so maybe if we could put two decent halves of football together we could get close to donegal im not expecting a win but a good close game that will show us we are moving in the right direction is all im looking for from the donegal game

just to let you know terry hyland is the manger for the rest of the season

Confirmed??  How did you hear?

i heard from a player he has the job for the rest of the season at least he is taking training on tue night

just to let you know terry hyland is the manger for the rest of the season

From what I am hearing there was very little player power involved in the Andrews "heave". Seems to be more he worked out that the big knobs had no faith in him and the Player Meeting fitted into the engineering around this. The Press Leak / Release and it's timing on the eve of the most important game of the year so far is really telling. So that possibly means our County Board lads have a solution lined up. It will be some craic if we go with a Wolves style approach

i heard the exact same thing Phil that it was the county board behind Andrews departure

its only against cavan after all at the end of the article nice to know we strike fear amongst other ulster counties 

Look Richie, Its time someone pulled you up on this total bullshit you are writing on here. You seem to have a free reign to say what you want on HS. First off, were you at the game today or not? You live in the UK, do you fly home every weekend for the match. If you weren't at the game then you know nothing about the tactics or lack of them except what someone told you. For all we know that someone could have the same vendetta that you have. The fact is you are primarily against Andrews because he had the balls to tell Seanie Johnston to piss off and take his rotten attitude with him. You've been constantly attacking him after every defeat, as if he should just take this young team from nothing to beating everyone.

Not happy with attacking Andrews you now have a go at Hyland for "added absolutely nothing to the Senior set up". How do you know that Richie, did Seanie tell you? Again, you are against Hyland because he too was part of the set-up that booted out Johnston. This man has had Cavan in the last 2 U21 finals and has a super record as a manager.

We are a team that has done nothing, absolutely nothing, in the championship for years. You would have us believe that the same players that were involved in winning nothing are now some sort of inspired leaders with sage like knowledge of football who will guide the young players. Total rubbish and everyone knows it. If there are better defenders in Cavan, that are willing to train, for Cavan, perhaps you could tell me who they are?? Perhaps you could name a star studded 15 that will win division 3 next year? 

Finally, you want Joe Kiernan to manage us (have you a spare 100k- thats what Galway gave him with tremendous results). Martin McHugh - of course, he hasn't managed a team in 12 years but he knows it all and no doubt he'd love to manage a team that would play against his own son in the 1st round of the championship.

It is a long process Richie, its the politics of quick fixes that got us where we are today. Putting up with bad attitudes, bad trainers and lads that don't give enough to the cause. We played a Roscommon team today that did exactly what we are doing a couple of years ago, I remember them getting tanked by Mayo in the championship. They stuck at it and now they are a decent team with a connacht title to their name.

I'm no fan of Andrews but I give him this, the young lads are busting a gut on the field and are doing there best which is more then Seanie Johnston ever did in a blue jersey.

well said myles im sick of going on hoganstand and gaa board looking at the same drivel being talked by Richie he's like a broken record and a bad one at that. There is no quick fix solution to cavans problems these lads need time to develop and bond as a unit you cant expect them to be world beaters over night they are putting in a huge effort this year and hopefully this effort will pay off in the next few years as i believe we have the makings of a good team if we can keep them at it. I know a good few players on the county panel and i can tell you they are putting in a huge effort this year training 3 times a week with games at the weekend as-well as gym sessions in the morning inbetween these sessions their dedication this year has to be commended as a lot of these lads in the past were only going through the motions doing just enough to get by and no more so hopefully with this change of attitude we will see the benefits but it will take time.

Val's thinking on the whole situation is a lot done a lot more to do. And i have to agree with him but infairness i think we are heading in the right direction as he said himself we showed a lot of heart it was fairly evident throughout the game with everyone working to regain posession be it our backs our forwards etc id say we turned the ball over in our forward line on at least 5 occasions through hard work an determination one thing i havent seen from a cavan forward line in ages which was great to see so hopefully cavan can build on this work ethic and we can move forward as a team with everyone fighting for each other

sigerson on today lads have we many lads on teams around the country i know it sligo have a good cavan contingent marc leddy,paul o connor,eugene keating,david givney,declan meehan,martin dunne. who else have we on teams around the place is there a lad from mullahoran on the uuj team one of the gunners?
