Ah Christ Richie nothing personal but I suppose it was a bit much to expect that you'd confine your pearls of wisdom the the Hogan Stand Site.

I've nothing at all against Jelly but in fairness having read the article the one conclusion anybody would have to come to is that he is effectively ruling himself off the Cavan panel for at least as long as the current management is in charge if  not longer. You cannot seriously expect him to be brought back into the panel at any stage soon as you can only imagine the impact it would have on the group as a whole.

The best thing for Cavan at this stage is that we move on and see what the current changes bring. Initial signs are encouraging but we can expect progress to be slow. Will the lad be missed, I think he will but it's not going to be absolutely terminal-he was usually good for a few points a game from play but was never one for the vital goal a la jason reilly. Also, it would appear that he wasn't a fierce happy camper for the last few years and that can't have had a positive impact around the panel I'd imagine.

Gave good value over the years and fair play for that but time to move on. If he wins an All Ireland medal with Kildare best of luck to him . As a relatively oul fella myself you'd have to wonder will there be regrets 10 years from now though.

That's not very nice!

Mind you, for anyone that was there, Seanie Johnston's point taking display in the second half vs Wicklow in 2010 was a sight to behold!

Two things, firstly no-one as yet has mentioned McGeeney's input into this??? Did he whisper sweet nothings into Seanies ear and in some way contribute to this?? and secondly, as far as I'm aware no manager has to answer to the general paying public. Keeping the clubs happy is all he needs to worry about, as Mr Andrews well knows after previous experiences....

AND LET A TWO FACED **** LIKE YOU HAVE THE RUN OF ALL BOARDS?? NO CHANCE.............AT LEAST I USE THE SAME USERNAME ALL THE TIME!

That's not very nice either.

MYLES we are all entitled to our views. I havent taken anything personel with any poster. Yes il argue my point and my beliefs but thats where attacks should stop. We all have Cavan football at heart. Yes different views. What craic would there be if we all thought the same?

Agreed.

Johnston will have his work cut out if the transfer does eventually go through.. Kildare have been flying so far this year, it's only the o'byrne cup but they are going well and still have a few lads coming back from injury. It would be a massive loss to Cavan Gaels. He might have been poor last year in the Ulster Club but in county championship he was still above everyone else even if he wasn't at his best. I thought he had to get work in Kildare aswell but it doesn't say that in the paper, he is living there and just needs to get a tranfer to a club there.

He is in his hole living there. All part of the scam to get help with the transfer.

Maybe so Myles, i was just going by what it said in the paper. He is still teaching in breffni college so if was actually living in Kildare at the minute it a long spin down for a 9 o'clock start..

[Western Blue]

Anglo-Celt39/South Eastern Blue just to let you know I am back !! The Galway,Donegal and Longford defeats last summer took awfull out of me in that I nearly put my Kingspan jersey into my local clothes bank and purchased a Mayo (Elverys) jersey here in Castlebar. With the new season/clear out of old stock underway I found my Cavan Jersey in the attic last night so I have decided to travel to Cavan tomorrow evening to see the new kids playing U.U.J. Hopefully we will get a big win and that Donegal beat Derry. With all this talk about Seanie been dropped from the squad I hear no noise's coming from Lyng or Sheridan? Do they not want to play intercounty football. I have to say in the majority of inter county games I have attended in the last couple of years Johnstons performances have been very inconsistent.   

[Onlooker]

Living in Munster, I have not seen Seanie Johnston play for a few years.  He was a good player, but if he played poorly last year, maybe it was due to all the travelling from Straffan to Cavan for work and training.

[rodney trotter]

Last year was Johnstons first full year with Cavan. Every other year prior to that he was playing with Dcu. Maybe not being involved with Dcu might have unsettled him abit. They train like professionals there and have brillant facilities playing high level football, Ryan Cup, O'Byrne and Sigerson and are all well looked after. He was there 8 years so maybe going from that to have job and then training might have been different but his attitude was very poor last year and he can have no excuses tbh. He deserved better than a 10 second call though if thats true.

[boojangles]

Good point Benny regarding Mc Geeneys input!
Anyway it's a sorry mess the whole affair IMO.
If Sean has to leave the Gaels which is looking increasingly likely I just hope he has thought the whole thing through.

[cavanmaniac]

I don't think he's thinking too clearly booj...just thinking vengefully and wanting to stick it up to the manager who had the temerity to drop him. It's a shame he can't channel that passion towards his native county and show the manager he was wrong in the best way possible - by changing whatever it is that has caused him to be dropped in the first instance and fighting for his place like a true team player would.

Seanie, despite his protestations to the contrary, has to know the reason why he was dropped. If it was a reason that made it clear he is more sinned against than sinning here, and furthered his case for a transfer away, then I'm fairly sure he'd have put that reason in a public domain by now to enhance his claims. He hasn't so I'm surmising it's a reason that doesn't reflect well on him, i.e. some sort of troublemaking behind the scenes etc., who knows for sure.

Andrews hasn't done so either, but contrary to some claims here, he doesn't owe the 'paying public' an explanation either. He's accountable only to the county board who his contract is with and very notably, they are behind him as stated by the PRO, as indeed are the current crop of players we are building with for a more stable future after years of shifting deckchairs around the titanic and going nowhere because of it.

[tommysmith]

As someone else said Lyng and Sheridan are not crying in the papers and  "living" in other counties to try and prove a point.

The whole thing stinks and Johnston is doing himself no good atall in this.
