'Cavan v Kildare!! The revenge of the the common gael for the minute and a half hurling cameo' Jarlath Burns


If Burns said this, i sincerely hope he never makes GAA President. Hope that clown never makes GAA President. Populist trash.

Cavan county board have just announced that 10% of all proceeds from ticket receipts will be donated to Seanie's extraordinary diesel bill due to his very long commute.

Lads lost in all of this is the plight of Cavan Gaels who have lost a player, who obviously put his own ego before his Club, the very ethos of the GAA. Comparisons with Peter Canavan can't be made, Peter needed to be a member of a Club to represent Tyrone, as he was obviously wishing to return to his own Club it was easier to become a member of a Hurling Club as the rules allow for. The whole Seanie Johnson thing stinks to high heavan and the only mistake the GAA have made in my opinion is in allowing the transfer. The Kildare CB, McGeeney, Kildare hurling and the two Kildare Clubs involved have absolutely no respect for the GAA, its ethos nor it's traditions. Glad to see Meath put them out. McGeeney for Armagh...I hope not. I had great admiration for him as a player, but if he is behind this fiasco he could struggle for a job when the envitable happens.

How in the name of god have Kildare hurling got anything to do with this? It was Coill Dubh and Johnston who made a complete mockery of our hurling championship. Have a look at any Kildare hurlers twitter accounts and you'll see how they feel about this. I played hurling in Kildare for many years and got great enjoyment out of it. To see the way that it was demeaned on Saturday was one of the main reasons that I can't say I was overly bothered to see the footballers lose yesterday.

Celbridge drew with Confey in an excellent game prior to Johnston's 45 second cameo yet there was five times the crowd out on the side pitch in Clane watching Coill Dubh warming up than watching the fine match on the main pitch. That replay is on in Leixlip tomorrow night but something tells me it won't attract the same media circus that the double header on Saturday did.

Point taken, but surely the Hurling Board would have been involved?

I don't know how they could have been involved in any way. Johnston was legitimately registered with Coill Dubh so it was purely a matter for those two parties.

[johnneycool]

what sort of eejit manages Coill Dubh hurlers and let that happen? What did the players think?

Surely there would have been some sort of objection from within the hurlers in the club to be used in such a manner.

did the hoor even touch leather?

(he may have touched cloth    )

Few clips of him strutting his stuff!

[theticklemister]

Yeah hardstation I saw that on TSG game also. All the players having a laugh. The club has totally neglected everything that is good in the GAA. I'm sure the club committee had a meeting in prior to them being asked to play Johnson in game, am I corrected? Are they all a load of spineless hoors down there that no one in that committee stood up and challenged this? Or was it 'pushed' through?

The Coill Dubh manager is a brother of one of the Kildare selectors.

The best part of the SG Live sequence was when Joe said that if you needed someone to score 2-10 against Antrim in a friendly then Sean was your man!

Thought that was petty and out of line myself...
