    look i can assure you he wont train this Tuesday with Kildare . now if you know Seanie you will know that. So really you should get your facts right before you use boards to post what you THINK MIGHT happen.

    Seanie has other things to occupy his mind other than football at this particular time . So get your facts right before you post
    My facts are just that. I also can tell you he will be joining the Celbridge club in North Kildare.

    Seanie struck me as as the type of player who blows hot and cold. If he is up for it he will take some stopping.

    I just wonder the effect it could have the younger Kildare players coming through. Will they get a bit peeved off? I really dont hink Kildare need him especially with Dermot Early back and Flynn playing well they have enough talented options without him

    On the Kildare Dublin posts. I think most people who follow football would be very wary of this Kildare team. Good footballers from 1 to 25 and probably beyond. Dublin wont fear them but will be very careful. The big challenge for Kildare is putting a few performance together against big teams.

    Finally on last years Leinster final and the Free. It was a free. The Kildare player ran accross the back of the Dublin player knowing full well he would clip his ankle and trip him up. FREE KICK. Eoghan O'Gara was a passenger in that match and not a huge loss to Dublin. Fact is had Kildare came out and played ball they might have won not the negative crap which has won them nothing. Last time they won Leinster they played really good football.

    St Kevin's will be Seany's club of choice, or that's where he will end up anyway.

    Pity Kildare were not as quick on the pitch.

    Someone with a white cane or a litte knowlege could see what the Kildare player done. Some days you get away with them some days you dont and unfortunatly for Kildare he didnt :D. Fact still stands Kildare lost that game with negative tactics against a Dublin side who only played well for about 15 - 20 minutes. Move on. Lokk at all the games we lost thanks to clowns like Tommy Howard and Seamus Alderidge

    Will pass the glasses on to the referee............ ;)

    Looking at yesterdays game, we badly need a free taker and he is one of the best in the business. If he puts in the effort and regains his Cavan form of 07' 08' he will no doubt be a huge addition to Kildare.

    Is St Kevins and Celbridge the same club??

    Because earlier tonight you were saying he was going to joing Celbridge??

    ANYWAY I suppose for a 27 year old to already have 8/9 Senior club medals it would be irrelevent what club he joined. Maybe he would be better helping out a Junior Club side, I think thats the only club medal he might be missing.

    Nope it's St. Kevins he will be joining he was expected to join Celbridge. He will find it a hell of a lot harder to win a Kildare Club Championship than a Cavan one, club football in Cavan would be of a poor standard.

    Ive often wondered what Seanie would be like playing with half decent forwards. Because he has two great feet and can turn on a sixpence.

    Really there is very little wrong with his attitude. Results last year have pissed him off and like any disgruntled player/fan he asked questions of the management.

    Questions that he never got answers to and it seemed to be easier to drop him and hopefully rely on up and coming under21s.

    I still wont believe he will leave Cavan Gaels simply because he was come through the ranks from under10 with lots of those lads and won untold honours at all levels. I even think he has 3/4 minor club championship medals.

    McGeeney i feel is the main player here. But this could be his last year if he dont produce the goods. And even if he wins something he could also walk away on a high. So would the next Kildare manager want Seanie next year?

    anyway Seanie is a class act,knows where the posts are from both play and frees. worth 5 points a game on average.

    GOOD LUCK TO HIM WHATEVER HE DECIDES

    Dixon he has put in a transfer request to Cavan Gaels already and they have begrudgingly accepted it on the promise that he will return to them someday. I expect to see him play some part in Kildare's league campaign.

    All depends on the DRA now.

    I dont think he would he moving to Kildare to win club medals. He got plenty of them. I would say both counties are around the same level as regards club football .Neither can hack it at Provincial level even though Ulster Club is far stronger than Lenister club.

    The bottom line is this Kildare Team and management HAVE to deliver this year. And its understandable that McGeeney would he interested in ANY half decent forward that might be available

    VERY suprised that Seanie had time to put in a transfer request this weekend while dealing with a family bereavement.

    What i said was the Standard in Ulster is higher than Lenister at club level. You only have to look at the All Ireland Club results this past 15 years to work that out

    Why did he go to st.Kevins of all clubs? Naas should have snapped him up. Great addition to the team, hopefully we can push on now and win Leinster and Sam.

    Looks like he is on his way now. Hopefully the onus will be on him to prove he can make the team. Kildare looked sharp and did well against dublin the other day even though none of the big players were playing, so if Seanie is good enough to make the team more power to him.

    Kildare werent far off the pace last year despite a lot of injuries. So far this year the team is injury free which means there is serious competition for places which can only be a good thing. With Sean Johnston added to the lineup it might just be the little bit extra we need to get over the line

    Completely disagree with this move. It is as good as poaching IMO. Kildare have been known to approach other counties players over the last couple of years and hopefully this transfer is not allowed.

    As someone said earlier if this was to happen there may aswell be an open transfer market.

    Both Kildare and Dublin can take very little from that game on Sunday, Kildare did have a far stronger team out than Dublin but the standard was terrible. Kildare kicked some woeful wides.

    Referree didn't help either side also

    Kildare's second string might just be stronger than Dublin's maybe?

    No Doyle, Earley, Lynch, McGrillen, Foley, Bolton etc.

    McGrillen came on as a sub BTW ;)

    No cause for alarm after Sunday, that pitch will be nothing like the quality surfaces like Croker that we'll be used to playing come summer (please God).

    As for Johnston, couldn't care less. I don't think he's built physically tough enough to fit exactly into Geezer's plans although given their errant shooting on Sunday, another scoring forward would be beneficial to them.

    He lives in straffan county Kildare not Cavan he may or may not work in Cavan I'm unsure tbh!!!

    How dare you call Kildare poachers who do you think you are?? Begrudging a man wanting to play the game he loves close to home or a county welcoming him to the setup???

    I smell sourness in your posts tbh

    Sourness?

    Kildare have contacted 2 players(That I know off) to come and play for them saying they will get it all set up. Completely wrong. I am sure they are not the only ones.

    What do you call that?

    Have you read any of the thread or did you just decide to waddle in on the last page and start shouting "sour" and "troll"?

    Johnston's living and working arrangements are well documented in the previous pages, do have a read it might help you avoid looking uninformed.

    Also the match on Sunday was two weakened sides tbh but by no means does it take the victory from kildares hands!!

    And whoever commented on pitch condition remember this is gaa football a ge played predominantly with ball in hand not sassy Girly soccer, no gaa pitch is perfect even croker can have bad days

    Yes I do have proof and I am not going to start naming names on here. It is widely known.

    One is a current inter county player with zero connection to Kildare, home, work, family etc...

    Not everything Kildare do is right you know.....

    Will you stop, where you getting the proof that he lives in Kildare? thats complete bs, i live next door to the lad and see him arriving back from work 5 days a week!!!!!

    Waddle in? Lol

    Look at the post count for this thread?? You then might be more informed!!

    The troll comment was for a guy stating Kildare are poachers, and that he knows at least two players they have approached about playing for Kildare which I would be 100% sure is waffle unless he cares to air his washing for us! I also slipped away from thread due to a family member quite Ill so maybe I missed johnstons arrangements

    The entire thread is still there for you to read so, rather than wading in with ill-informed comments.

    Johnston works as a P.E. teacher in Breifne College in Cavan town.

    I am clearly not going to name the player but at the time I think it might also have been in the media. Certainly on most GAA boards and I know him personally.

    The player was offered work and living arrangments if he transferred. I have credible proof unlike you who has been found out in the last few posts.

    I don't have the time to be trolling around.

    Kildare are doing quite well these days as we all can see!!

    So adding Johnston will only strengthen a squad IMO I actually don't give 2 PENNIES about him but I won't have this thread turning into an anti Kildare flame war with people calling county poachers etc.

    Im not trying to turn it into an anti- kildare anything!!!! I personally dont believe you want Johnston, yes hes a great player but he is sooo far up his own arse you wouldnt believe it, in Cavan every ball had to go to him! If it didnt he'd have a tantrum.

    Do the county board even know?? It was the managment team that approached him. If he said yes im sure they might run back to the ocunty board but as he has no interest im sure they didn't.

    Correct! But that was mainly because he had to do it on his own. You should see some of the clowns he had as inter county team mates?

    I'm from Cavan, I've clearly seen them play!!! yes he was the stand out player but come on they are not clowns. There is no arguing with the fact that Johnston was extremely disruptive. Last year he was captain , i saw at trainings him shouting and roaring at young lads! This is why he was dropped im sure, we have a very young team coming trough and this behaviour is not going to help theirs and the teams development!!!!

    Yes and alot of those clowns have been removed from the panel now which is down to the good work Val and Terry are doing.

    The past 3 managers of Cavan haven't commented on the attitude of the intercounty players in the county for nothing.
