obviously mcgeeney wants him thats stating the ****ing obvious there..

which of our forwards can you see him replacing?? i talk ****e how? you comment away all you want but i know the county scene inside out. can you not see how this is stupid theres **** all talk about the fact that kildare have had their biggest moment in football since reaching the 98 final in the fact that we have won promotion and all thats being talked about is seanie johnston?? thats why i think this is a pile of crap..

i defo will support seanie i just think this is turning into a media circus, and remember when kildare are in the spotlight it doesnt bode well with the 98 AI final standing out when we beat kerry tabloids swarmed kildare and egos swelled with Galway having attention taken from them and in that time they worked their asses off and were super prepared.

im not against johnstons transfer and im sure he will be a great asset to the squad but when a single player drags more attention than the squad it sneers of drama and i hate ****ing drama..

which of our forwards can you see him replacing??

That's not a valid question, we have Kavanagh, Smith, O'Connor, Conway, Eoghan O'Flaherty, Doyle, Callaghan and Fogarty all vying for a position so Johnston will be competing with these 9 lads for a place, bar JD and Callaghan none of these players are guaranteed a start!

kildare have had their biggest moment in football since reaching the 98 final in the fact that we have won promotion

Have you forgotten the Leinster title in 2000? And you know Kildare football inside out? :rolleyes:

im right in saying johnston is a centre half forward right??

No, he's a corner forward.

leinster that year doesnt have the same standing as this years league after a bad start the lads battled on to promotion. i forget nothing have not forgotten that leinster but after losing again to galway in AI semi it was another year of heartbreak.. so in turn what is happening for us now is a much bigger deal than that leinster win..

Let me get this straight, you're telling me that gaining promotion to Div 1 of the NFL is more important than winning a Leinster Championship thus qualifying for an All Ireland semi final?

i think that kildare team late 90s early 00s should have won an ai so yes leinster championship did nothing but ease the pain for me anyways.

can i ask what age you are? just wondering were you at any of those games??

any leinster win is huge i just feel the promotion merits kildare playing the countries elite teams which is where they need to be it will really help us in summers if we are playing top teams trust me.

Coming 2nd in Division 2 of the league is a better achievement than winning Leinster in 2000?? You are delusional.

thats your opinion, but the promotion matters now not a leinster win from 12 years ago. thats not delusional thats thinking about now instead of thinking what was 12 years ago. this thread is about seanie johnston anyways if you want to discuss anything else with me apart from johnston take it to pm before we get a bollocking for dragging this off topic lads

Regardless of the spin coming out from Kildare/McG/SJ camps, I don't see any chance of this transfer going through. The whole thing is a farce and when Andrews gets the chop in Cavan, and SJ is inevitably back in the frame, whenever that may be, he's going to feel a bit of a tit pulling back on the Cavan jersey. Think he's been terribly naive in the whole thing and badly advised along the way too.

munchkin_utd · 11-04-2012 2:33pm

have to somehow agree with that.
The line from the CCCC is that it was going against the ethos of the association REGARDLESS of whether theres enough proof of a so called "permanent" move.

unless someone here is on the CCCC or central council, then how can anyone here say that it's something that the CCCC or provincial board will allow through seeing as they are officially dead set against it?

the "ethos" of the Association was never something I saw mentioned before.
From looking at the official guide again, Rule 6.1 mentions it and could be a catch all VETO to block seanies transfer

6.1 - Transfers and Declarations - Association’s Ethos
As the Gaelic Athletic Association is community centred,
based on the allegiance of its members to their local Clubs
and Counties, the Transfer and Declaration Rules in this
Official Guide and in County Bye-Laws reflect that ethos.
A player is considered to owe allegiance and loyalty to his
Home Club and County, as defined in these Rules.

Seves Three Iron · 11-04-2012 2:39pm

Whether or not the CCCC agree with the transfer or not - which I'm sure they don't - I think it could come down to an ever more basic point; proving that he lives in Kildare. The CCCC guys aren't clowns. SJ says he has addressed this aspect of the transfer request in his latest submission. It remains to be seen if the CCCC fall for it, apologies, accept his claims.

I dont think so.
This is what they said a couple of weeks ago, basically saying it was a contrived situation to engineer a move:

'Concerns were expressed that even had permanent residency been satisfactorily demonstrated, the primary, if not sole, purpose of this residency appeared from the evidence gathered to be to enable the player to play inter-county football with a county to which he could claim no obvious allegiance. This, in the opinion of the committee, was in itself, contrary to the Association's ethos as outlined in rule.'

Player revolt in Cavan it seems according to the Sports reports.
It didn't take long for them to realise what they had in charge.
Seanie might change his mind when Andrews gets gate.

This is actually true.

Andrews could well be shown the door before the championship starts. Cavan players are not happy with him.

sid waddell · 11-04-2012 11:19pm

How hilarious it would be if Sean Johnston came crawling back to Cavan if Val Andrews goes.

Actually hilarious would be too weak a word.

Crawling back? What the hell are you talking about! He was dropped from the panel i.e Andrews rang him up and told him he will not be picked this year while he was in charge.

If I was a Cavan fan I would welcome him with open arms, he is the best player Cavan have produced in the last decade!

Some people!

DARK-KNIGHT · 12-04-2012 12:14am

This could be a huge factor in this transfer, will Johnston show loyalty now to his native Cavan or continue to Persue a chance of glory with Kildare??

now would be the time for Cavan to welcome Johnston back with open Arms!! If not Kildare will gain I'm aware of that but is the easy option now for this to be resolved in Cavan and all to resume normality!

Obviously Johnston is involved training etc In Kildare I wonder has his loyalty transferred to Kildare before any final decision about him has been made!

I have said it before I will get behind seanie if he really shows Kildare fans something like loyalty to the cause.

I'm not sure how 'loyal' a player can be when its clear its a move to do with the best interest of no one but himself. He even publicly stated he doesnt want to leave his club. Loyalty really will not be a factor in this at all.

Do you, or anyone in Kildare, think he would stay if Cavan got a new manager and started on a good run? they have now won 2 Ulster U21s in a row and are making progress. The next few years for them will be vital. Do you honestly think Johnston isnt looking at this too?

A reason to be concerned if you are a Kildare fan. Can any of the Kildare panel even welcome this guy with open arms when he is going to threaten some regular Kildare forward with his spot?

That's what I am saying how can any true Kildare fans honestly fully back this transfer?? I mean it's obvious lies are being told, and is an AI worth getting rid of one of our forwards for seanie? And remember the effort our lads make for the county... Before Micky starts throwing words in let me ask you all this - are you loyal to our lads or are u just seeking glory?? I think our forwards are excellent I can't see where Johnston will feature unless he is there to get forwards trying harder to do a good job with threat of jOhnston looming

He is indeed the best player they have had in years but they allowed him to be badly treated by a poor manager.
Yes indeed. They don't like being proved wrong on this thread either.
I doubt I will get any apologies for being right but however.

Christ almighty. Just three days ago you said you were leaving this thread. What's changed?
Your opinions carry absolutely no credibility whatsoever seeing as you've admitted you have a personal grudge against Val Andrews. I've no opinion of him as a manager but your childish actions on this thread certainly won't convince me of anything.

I have no grudge except that I believe he is a bad manger who would ruin a good young team like he did here in Louth.
I have gone out of my way to explain that to you and others if you want to read back over the thread.
The recent events in Cavan have proved my opinions to be right as there is now player revolt even after Andrews got rid of the experienced players who expressed the same opinions.
Face up to the facts and stop behaving like a baby. Seanie Johnston was treated very badly by the Cavan manager.

What were you right about? Cavan are still in Division 3 so you were wrong there.

And, as I've said numerous times, Johnston is not the best player Cavan have produced in years. I'd take Gearoid McKiernan over him any day.

Saved by Tipp ??? With 4 points this year as against 6 last year !!!
Val was not your Moses just like he was not ours. He was no breath of fresh air and I was right in saying he would cause trouble and go backwards rather than forwards.
Geroid Mc Kiernan is a midfielder and Seanie is a corner forward for your information. Though in fairness Mc Kiernan will be a great for Cavan and so will Givney IF they are handled properly and with a good man-manager and proper coaching.

Believe me Lemlin, Cavan would go nowhere with Andrews and that was my main point. He just causes divisions.
Well done to to Hyland and your U21's by the way. Great back-to-back Ulster titles. My Cavan friends were very happy this morning.

celt262 · 12-04-2012 4:05pm

I think we will see Johnston back in a Cavan Jersey this year.

Rumours that Anthony Forde will take over the management until the end of the season.

I'm not doubting his playing skills but he is a diva!! Surely he can't expect to just walk into an established Kildare team and replace one of our local lads?

Also he has reportedly been at a Cavan meeting with the Cavan team last night, why would he be there? I feel he is ****ing all parties involved around tbh. Maybe it's me but this transfer is a farce he isn't living in straffan that's a sure thing.

I'm getting a feeling from Cavan thread he could do a uturn on this transfer since Andrews is gone??

If I was him I would be doing some serious thinking now is playing for a foreign county worth a two hour return drive from Cavan for training matches etc??

Ok you don't think Kavanagh Doyle smith Conway Callaghan and oconnor are not excellent forwards?

Erratic shooting hampers our forwards not lack of skill, when they play the right ball into positions they are very good finishers. Problem is they tend to try hail Mary efforts that 70-80 percent of time are not kickable scores. Their work rate is excellent though nobody can argue that!!

I'm annoyed at the diva aspect of all this tbh it is bull**** and drama we really don't need! Bad press for Kildare moaning about bad luck last few years we could do without bad press coming to championship but that's my opinion.

If Johnston shows he defo wants to play for us and works hard then great but this is a farce now it really needs to be put to bed.

James Kavanagh and Eamon O Callaghan are very good forwards
Mikey Conway has the potential to be a very good player.
Tomas O Connor is a decent enough targetman and Alan Smith is a good enough player.
None of them offer the scoring threat of Johnston.
Seanie would start on any team in Ireland,including the big three,Kerry,Cork and Dublin.

I know he can score and is threatening I had to say it though no matter who the player he needs to earn the respect and trust of the Kildare faithful just like the players that are there at the moment.

Btw Tyrone are prob best team in country well going on how they played in the league anyways. I just hope Kildare turn up bells and whistles for the final

Nobody ever questioned his dedication,
The guy trains as hard as any IC footballer in the country and harder than most of the lads on the Cavan Panel off the last number of years.
His attitude whereby he was "mouthing off" at his teammates during games alongside other incidents,such as a dressing room verbal exchange with a couple of players new to the panel meant that his attitude was rightly questioned.

His attitude yes, but I dont think anyone is questioning his dedication. Johnston is dedicated and I have heard he has been a lot gym on his own over the winter. But the fact is he has a bad attitude, is extremely cocky, very disruptive and I know Gaels players who are glad to see the back of him. Maybe he will settle down if he joins the Kildare panel, where he will be a small fish in a big pond, but I have no doubt he is only in it for his own personal glory. I also think people here are over-estimating Johnston's ability, he is well down the list of the top forwards in the country.

I think Andrews successor would be very foolish to bring Johnston back into the Cavan panel.

There are plenty of good footballers and sportsmen that are cocky and can be disruptive, its usually a trait of a winner. Maybe some of the Cavan Gaels lads don't like being told the truth. If he works as hard as you say, then give the guy credit. Was Roy Keane a leader, a winner or was he disruptive? I know which type of player I wold want on my team

Ha ha what a fantastic gent indeed. Here's a few lads who will second your nomination ha ha

Many of your county men seem to have seen through Val ha ha.

Good man yourself. You're a breath of hot air.

Yeah, I'm the one acting like a baby alright :rolleyes:
And it's blatantly obvious you have a grudge against Val Andrews. You have feck all posts in this forum apart from in this thread, and pretty much every one of your posts in this thread is bleating on about Val Andrews.

Oh, and one more thing

I will drop back in from time to time to see how both Seanie and Val are getting on but I promise not to gloat. I expect one to be in Div 1 and the other in Div 4 though. But I won't gloat.
See yis around.

Good job on keeping yet another promise (even though you were wrong).

Roy Keane was always a team player, as he showed many times with the best example being against Juventus in 1999 when despite being ruled out of the final he played a Captains role to ensure his team reached the final. There is no comparison with Johnston who wants to jump ship, turning his back on his club and his county.

And as much as I dont like the Gaels, it is more likely Seanie is the problem, not the rest of the team.

As for giving the guy credit, I did give him credit where it was due, I also critised him where I felt that was due.
