Cavanlad I was reading your post and to be honest when I came to the line where you stated "u21 don't need experience "I stopped reading. What's the point in trying to educate posters like you when that's the kinda stuff your going to come out with. We have always been a little ahead of ourselves in Cavan. And no offence but your proving this with statements like that.

sorry if my post was unclear to JUST YOU, i was tring to say that these under 21 players have trained together since 15 or 16 years old, my point is the same as Breffni_Yank.

your have a serious problem, no need for the personal attack at the end, a simply i don't understnad your post would off been ok. i didn't insult you.

To stop all the fighting, are we all presuming that the McKenna Cup squad is our panel for the year then or are there any injured players to come back in?

Breffni_Yank · January 21, 2012, 11:35:40 PM

All I could think of was James McEnroe. Maybe Thomas Corr but have no idea if he is in there or what is his story.

. Corr was there last year I think , I know he hadn't the best of years but if he had any kind of potential wouldn't you think Andrews would have stuck with him if he was worth it? Murray comes to mind last year when andrews tried him in the half back line then took him off after 56 mins against Donegal . Then played him in the half forward line against Longford and took him off after 18 mins. Does that sound like a Manager who knows what he is at??? It's fine giving Andrews a chance but why can't he explain last years failings?

Your doing it again Richie. New year, new season. Lets give it a chance.

Yeah Corr deserves another chance. Of last years u21s the only ones that I can think of are O'Meara, Leddy and Tighe. First two are playing college football at the minute and no idea about Tighe. Myles?

After that it is slim pickings. Alan Clarke left last year so dont see him near it. Where has Martin Reilly gone too? And did Sean Brady get a chance after his good season with Castlerahan?

When are Cavan's U21's due to play Longford in the Hastings Cup...is that a Final. I see Donegal played Monaghan on Sat in a challenge match...did our Senior side play over the weekend. Any word on O. Minagh & D.Barkey injuries ..both very early in there respective games.

It was on yesterday but didn't hear the score.

PhilsJemmysField · January 23, 2012, 04:42:34 PM

Cavan will play Longford in the Hastings Cup final on Saturday next in Abbeylara at 2 30 p.m.

Johnston is apparently moving to St. Kevin's in Kildare..

rodney trotter · January 23, 2012, 11:45:57 PM

He won't get things too easy in Kildare.. Not like in Cavan where nobody would ever dare dropping him, better quality players in the Kildare forward line. They all work hard if they lose the ball something Johnston doesn't do. Saying all that it would be nice if Johnston destroyed the Dubs in Croke Park if they meet at some stage in Leinster of the All Ireland series. He has quality, but would need to improve his attitude which i think he would under McGeeney..

mylestheslasher · January 23, 2012, 11:52:33 PM

Rodney, if I saw seanie Johnston playing for kildare against the dubs then I'd be cheering for the dubs. I'd hate to see any success come from such a traitorous act. I heard mutterings that a resolution might have been on the cards and I was hoping that was the case but if this story is true then I hope it gives our lads a bit more motivation to do well and maybe win an ulster in the next few years. What if the gaels got the ulster club too?

rodney trotter · January 24, 2012, 12:02:33 AM

I'd say the Cavan lads already knew this Myles, i heard he had done gym work with Kildare in November a few weeks after being dropped, just a matter of the transfer going through. Huge loss to Cavan Gaels.

mylestheslasher · January 24, 2012, 08:45:25 AM

Richie - He has made a 2nd decision now. He has decided him playing for a random county like Kildare is more important than him playing for his own club, the club that he was born into.

Answer me this - why did he not transfer to a club in Longford, Leitrim or Fermanagh. He could have lived there and played with that county and had a comfortable comute to work every day. Why do you think that is Richie? Teemore for example is only 20 minutes from Cavan.

That tells me all I need to know about Seanie Johnston. No place for people with such self importance and arrogance in the Cavan panel. Andrews has made the right decision and I'm certain of that now. Cavan supporters and Cavan Gaels supporters should now move on and support their club and county

tommysmith · January 24, 2012, 09:32:27 AM

Exactly Myles alot of counties closer to Cavan than Kildare.

It could end up like the Gallacher stint in Cavan and he could be back with the Gaels by July depending on how Kildare get on in Championship.

Andrews told Johnston he would never play for Cavan under him again. FACT.

Did he tell him this in the 10 second phone call ?

Denn Forever · January 24, 2012, 09:36:15 AM

Can we put this to bed and move on and get ready for the leagues?
