Glad it's all over now, pity it took this long to get it sorted though.

Least the GAA / CCCC or whatever appeal body passed this finally saw sense and treated this the same way as they do hundreds, if not thousands of other transfers each year, instead of just picking the rules to suit an agenda.

If they really want to uphold the ethos of the GAA so badly then is it fair to assume they'll start to clamp down heavily on manager payments etc?

Moving on though, hard to see Seanie playing for Kildare this year. Can't see clubs agreeing to another round of championship football any time soon, especially if it means clubs are waiting around all summer to avoid relegation, and matches are played when lads are off in America.

That'll be the real test of Johnston's dedication, wait around till next year to play for the county and I'd see him as being a bit more genuine about all this. If he does end up teaching in a north Kildare school like was rumoured before then best of luck to him.

Anyways, I'm off to try and grow a thicker layer of skin... I'd advise other Kildare fans to do likewise...

Official statement reads as follows:
"At an Appeal Hearing this evening the CAC upheld an appeal by Seanie Johnston against a decision of the CCCC to refuse an application for a transfer from Cavan Gaels (Cavan) to St. Kevins (Kildare) on the basis that there had been no objection by either Cavan Gaels or Cavan County Committee within the ten day time limit prescribed in the Official Guide."

Does this mean that Cavan Gaels and the Cavan CB let him go?

2 All Irelands in nearly 30 years and with the playing population ye have. Oh nearly forgot. All your top class club players are imports. Awful doesn't come close to you lot.

Half the Hill thinks there's a kick off and not a throw in, so hardly surprising.

Well I'll agree we don't have a great record at all. Then again if we're awful then what does that say about all the counties out there with less All Ireland titles than us?

We're not great by any means but sure we're well aware of that already, awful might be a bit of stretch though...

Ripping is all fine with me, not a problem at all as long as we can have a laugh about it, funny feeling though that with Johnston in tow Kildare fans will be in for a bit more than that... spite on bile on the way...

Do you Cavan boys honestly think Seanie's Cavan days were over? Honest question!.

Players fall out with managers all the time, our own Bradley's a fine example, the whole bloody Cork hurlers also. But in this case Kildare came knocking and Seany seen a chance of glory something so of he went to junp ship and live in Kildare, when he should be fighting for his place back in HIS county's team.

Shame on Seany and Shame on Kildare



Finally someone speaks a bit of sense.

Its absolute nonsense to say he had to leave Cavan in search of county football. He wasn't selected this year, because the then manager decided to go with a new approach. That approach didn't work in the league, and the manager was replaced. What's to stop him being called into the Cavan panel under the new management next year? Nothing. If he stuck with his club, and kept the head down, he could have been selected again.

Shameful episode that a player can move counties because he takes the huff with the management in his own. A very dangerous precedent, all the more so, because people in Cavan are saying he still works here.

Re Derry_ledd no i don't think Johnston would have played again under Val Andews. And alot would have said the same thing, Andrews was gone after the league but the damage was done then as he was all set for Kildare., he was never going to get Johnston back. Your living in fantasy land if you think otherwise.

I bet there ain't too many county boards that will employ Val andrews after the whole Seanie saga!!!!!!

In Doubt

Kildare will only get better now with all the Dubs living there... sure it couldnt get any worse right... apart from the rising crime rates.

Kind of like when all the Mayo farmers moved to Meath :) That gave the Meath GAA DNA the kick in the back side it needed...

I was only having a laugh with you... just helping you develop that thick skin that you mentioned... I wasnt being serious.. sure dont I even have a few Kildare cousins, but we dont talk to them much. All a bit cross eyed.. if you know what I mean!

Dreadful or dirtfill, whatever his feckin name is... never heard of him until a few posts ago... could learn a thing or two from you...
