It's not clear that he has gone back to his club.

1139820 It's not clear that he has gone back to his club.

Did he actually transfer from the Gaels?

Either way it's all embaracing at the moment. I can understand Seanies point where he wanted to play County football thus asking for a transfer bit from the Gaels point of view they are churning out a good crop of young lads all wanting their place on the club team. Maybe I'm oldstyle but I was always brought up the way the club always came first. Lads ya grew up with from u12 til senior, ther the lads ya didn't sh@@t on... I really don't know whether it was bad advice Seanie took or whether it was all his own doing.. To be honest Seanie has nothing to prove to Val Andrews or any other manager as regards his ability, but if there are questions about his attitude well that's something Seanie needs to address if he indents to become a top respected player.I know there are plenty of respected gaels personnel within the club who will put Seanie right if he is prepared to take their advice. It's that kind of club.. There is more to Cavab Gaels than results.

If he plays for the gales, then he is eligible to play for cavan

Sean O Rinn i really hope that Seanie NEVER togs out for Andrews again.
And let me tell you why

The lad is 27/28 years of age?Agree?
One of our more skillful players this past 8/9 years you will agree?
1...Temperment might be suspect but are all good managers suppose to be capable of managing allsorts ??
2...There were worse players in 2011 than Seanie and they are still on the panel ??
3...When did Val ever state publicly that no door was ever closed to any player?
4...Who has Val replaced Seanie With?

If any poster can answer these 4 questions honestly with substance well then il never post here again

I dont know the full story here but to be fair if Val had a problem with Seanie he could have droped him and kept him in the panel like he did McKeever and maybe he would have came back hungerier like McKeever did

But Val dropped Seanie completely which i felt was a little bit harsh

Dropping a man completely is fine if you are going to replace him with a player better or equally as good but this hasnt really happened.

My take on a good manager is he can get all players singing from the same hymn sheet(jimmy barry murphy ) being the perfect example.

We are a small County, we need all on board............and its sad when a manager or management become bigger news than the players................such as the case in Cavan

richie theres no point jumping to the conclusion that val is the guilty party.there is more to that story that meets the eye.. ive got the impression that seanie wasnt enjoying his football here in cavan for the last number of years.. i feel he was maybe thinking of other things like the switch to kildare..if a player isnt prepared to give everything for that cavan jersey then i dont feel they should be playing.. we need 15 players who are prepared to leave everything on the field and be 100per cent commited to the cause. we will never be succesful until this happens. whatever happened, if seanie walked or if he was let go.i feel it is the right decesion.if any other player doesnt want to play for cavan the same should happen..

lads seanie was on kfm (kildare fm) local radio station live about an hour ago and did a very honest interview he confirmed he resubmitted the transfer today and would hope this time it would go through he has ticked the boxes now that wasnt sufficent enough for croke park the last time.he also mentioned that he was dropped off the cavan panel and was told it was a 'long term strategy' and cavan was looking to breed younger lads in and wished cavan the best. he also said he is 27 now and feels he has a good few years left in him to play intercounty football and thats all he wants to do.
i will post the link if kfm put up the podcast.

Transfer saga

Folks, I hope, and have stated this in past posts, that Seanie gets his transfer. I hope he does well for Kildare in the years ahead and that someday in the not too distant future he will come across Cavan in the later stages of the Championship

I believe seanie isnt going to get it all his own way with this again,and that the transfer will be blocked from within his own county !!! word has it that andrews will be gone after sunday and johnston will be called back in after a new management committe is set up within the cavan county board

I spoke to a Kildare senior player and fellow clubman of mine at a wedding on Saturday and he told me that Seanie Johnston is already training with Kildare.
