He's a forward

He'd get plenty of stick alright but I doubt it'll be for that.

There was no need for him to come on or to take the kick.

He could of had a bit of respect and sat the game out.

I know a lot of people in Cavan who wished him well until then.

Another reason I can't see the move back to the Gaels happening is that it actually split the club. Some supported him, others didn't.

Of course when the club under achieved last Summer by going out in the quarter finals, it gave those that didn't support him a valid argument that he had rocked the club.

So you think other lads playing for clubs in Roscommon would have no problem if Donie Shine did it and then arrived back to play club football against them? Don't be naive.

Not more seanie Johnston ****e talk lads. Please just please don't start this again feel free to start a thread re him moving bAck, ill contribute to that thread no problem.

But to be fair to us Kildare fans please don't cause hassle over him here.

In saying that I agree with lemlin that he did not need to come on in that game and he certainly didn't need to take that kick as obviously that was rubbing salt into wound.

I do wish seanie well though, but I can't see Cavan lads accepting him after everything he did

I don't think it needs to be rehashed. The discussion started out about Sesnie as a Kildare player and I don't think what I see as idle rumours in Cavan should railroad that.

Just to point out though Dark Knight, the rumour is about him going back to his club, not the county team. Not sure if you got that. Whatever about a future manager, which should be a long time away, he definitely won't play under Terry Hyland for Cavan.

All this fuss about a Kildare sub.

There's a happy medium for players and I think McGeeney has failed to realise that.

Guys who have to really put in effort to bulk up were not born with the engine in terms of lungs and heart to carry it over 75 mins Happy medium is more leg muscle and leg strength with enough upper body With GPS tracker it should be possible to see who fades It is the repeated fast burst to make a tackle or win a ball that may go Could also just be our own perception Sometimes bigger players look slower but arent

Not to mention a player dropped by a Division 3 team.

IS it true that 3000 extra tickets were on sale today in Newbridge?

Was there a punch up amongst members of the Kildare camp during training this week involving high profile players who have recently been dropped?

I heard nothing like that and if it happened I would normally hear about it, in saying that maybe it did.

Apparently tomás oconnor fell out with mcgeeney and only reason he is getting a game is he is playing great football.

I still laugh at all this talk of Cavan taking him back. I think people don't grasp the fact that he was dropped by Cavan. We didn't want him.

Last year we had to listen to the media cause such furore over why would little Cavan drop such a great player but the lads have shown why it happened this year.

Anyway, time to change the topic me thinks...

Did O'Connor batter Geezer then!?

westwicklow

From my information, thanks to a source in county management, there were a few thumps thrown!!

shame they cannot bring that to the pitch, shower of wimps

Neeson

Jaysus. Even Johnny Doyle is shocking there.

radonicus

Kildare very poor again, taking ridiculous shots and making a balls of half decent chances.

Add in shocking passing and stupid fouls and you can see Tyrone putting them to bed without much bother.

Kildare defenders now acting the hardshaw with O'Neill to boot, hope he rides them sidewards.

Red Crow

Who came on for Kildare?

Neeson

Everything going Hunky Dory for Tyrone.

How in the name of Jaysus it was thought that Kildare could win - I'm at a loss.

Drummerboy2

Kildare are the most over-rated team in Ireland. Dismal forwards. McGeeney makes too many positional changes each game, players don't know if they are coming or going.

radonicus

Big 35 mins for McGeeney.

Clogs0

If they don't recover in this half surely it's time Geezer walked away!!

beertons

Callaghan should never have started, wasn't even fit. There's more than him having a mare on the pitch though.

ledgebag1

It's not over until the final whistle

radonicus

In fairness they've started well - can they keep it going?

EDIT: Peno - missed by O'Neill..

ledgebag1

Who knows but you gotta believe

Neeson

Normal service resumes.

Felexicon

Not much jeering wides now from Kildare "fans". Good enough for them they deserve no better

Neeson

Two Cavan men seal Kildare's fate.

Johnson kills them. And with that whistle McQuillan puts the myth to bed and Kildare go back to their houses for another year. No Croke Park.

This geezer has had his moment I think.

radonicus

Johnson goes for a score for himself, that's about right.

Kildare would want to look at how, after 6 years under McGeeney, they produced a performance like they did against Dublin and as they did for the opening half of this game.

Tyrone didn't really put much wide in the second half, have you ever been to a dublin Meath or cork Kerry match? Lots of jeering at wides sure its part of the game now
