Mr Deeds don't know what game you were at today. From the very start the castlerahan corner back was pulling dragging and kicking Johnston who got no protection from the referee. He drifted out to the sideline beside mr mcquillan and was still been kicked pulled and dragged, but the linesman saw nothing. Castle Rahman made no attempt to play football. Chesty was the runner for the Gaels not Crotty. He was struck by Keoghan but surprise Mr Mc Quillan saw nothing. Start of the second half four Castlerahan assaulted no other word for it Johnston. Considering the abuse he took he did very well to keep his cool- I certainly wouldn't. I don't blame the referee but certainly blame his linesmen for failing to do their duty and protect players from this thuggery that happened today. The team that went out to try play football won. If only Castlrahan tried a different approach to the last two years they might have done better.

Went to relegation play off final in killeshandra earlier. It was the worst refereeing performance I have seen in years. Very lucky no player got badly injured.

Joe McQuillan had referees as umpires yesterday. The umpire who called it has refereed the Cavan County final and does most matches in the Cavan championship each year.

I was one of the Cavan season ticket holders who got a poor seat and got soaked the first day. The seat was so poor I coild not see one side one goal area as i was behind a Stewart who sat there with his umbrella up. I left my seat and asked to be let up on to the terrace behind the goal where i had a much better view and didnt get as wet.

For last Sundays game i opted out and bought my tickets from Breffni Park and had a much better seat at the back of the stand than I would have had through the season ticket. They certainly done seem to want people to have Season tickets!

Got email today regarding the season ticket for the Cavan V Armagh game on Sunday. You were always allocated a seat in the covered stand for Ulster matches. They are now saying bring your  season ticket and get it scanned. You will get entry to the open stand .Seating is unreserved. What is the point of the season ticket? Season tickets in all sports give a reason to hand over your money in advance  but seems not the GAA! 

Ciaran Brady and Killian Clarke celebrating after the final whistle yesterday.

Did you see the punches that Colm Cavanagh threw after Givney got the yellow card. He connected the ref saw should have at least booked him and thrown up the ball but did neither. He was also in Keatings face each time he kicked the three wides in the second half.

Niall Murray out for the Derry match but hopes to be back for the next match v Meath.

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.

Itchy the players agreed to have Johnston back. The guy should be given a chance and judged on the pitch.

No one new on Terrys backroom team. Kevin Downes has stepped up to the roll of trainer and the strength and conditioning coach think his name is McGovern are the trio for this year.

Anthony Forde is the new Cavan Gaels manager for 2016 an will be assisted by Paul McCorry.

Niall Lynch is the new U 21 manager. Hyland is having problems getting his back-room team together. Givney is back next year,Keating non committing yet as the league us still running in Dublin. Enda Hessin Cootehill is committing. Mark McKeever and Ronan Flanagan have opted out.
