Generally speaking, I'd say this should be on the Donegal forum - but Cass had a great year and was on the All Star team so people from all over the country might care about this.

He was dropped today for misconduct in relation to the This Is Our Year book.

What are people's thoughts? Was this a harsh decision? Any similar stories from your own county?

Seems a bit strange alright to drop one of the most experenced players. He may be back in the new year bit early to be picking a panel

I don't know what he said but I bet 50 million euros he will be back in the squad next year.

To be fair he was one of the few who actually went forward

McGuiness doesn't like that I hear, Cassidy being dropped is a warning to the rest of the team to quit that attacking melarky...

Going to be a big miss.. We do not know the entire story but from what we do know I think its a tad harsh to be honest. any bets he'll be back though :L And agree ther benjyyy... any oppurtunity they get

There is something else in the offing. Except this will not be media attention he wanted, right decision to drop him

not very good.....in my opinion some of his interviews last year during the championship were a job, hyper-sensitive or what...a player speaks his mind and basically says what the rest of the country have been sayn and he's wiped off the panel......dont think Jim Mc is Management material at all...

Declan Bogue the author of This Is Our Year, i'd say is loving all this free publicity....

We all know why Derryman is so eager to crack the jokes. If he is so keen to point out where Donegal players play, maybe he should ask himself where the Derry players were on 17th July 2011.

No big loss, there are plenty of more big defenders in Donegal, not many footballers though
