The fans have spoken...

"Overwhelming 57.2% said 'no, he's burnt his bridges', while 18% said 'Yes, even though he was in the wrong, he's too good' and 15.8% voted 'Yes, he did nothing wrong in the first place."

so while everyone is against player power..we should let supporter power pick the team now?

Supporters arent picking the team. They are just saying that they dont want this fella back. If Seanie doesnt like that well he should have thought about the obvious outcome of his actions last year. I think what the majority of people have recognised is that it is not worth the risk to team morale to bring him back.

Clearly management going against the obvious wishes of a majority of fans will cause upset on the terrace. We're the ones who voluntarily fund the GAA afterall. At present the majority of fans are happy with the management team and players alike. No need to fix it if it ain't broken.

Don't come back Seanie cos everyone here reckons Cavan have enough talent coming through from our u21s.... But our top scorer wasn't even on Hyland u21s . He actually walked off the u21 panel a few years ago! Bit he has talent.. Same as Seanie. Bit of class! And hyland or Andrews didn't teach either of them!!!

Its amazing Cian Mackey was also left off the squad that time like loads of players right across the country and did you see what he did. He buckled down and forced his way back into the squad. Now after a fantastic season he is probably in line for an ALL - Star.

Gaeldutd I dident see you all season offer Cian and all the other Cavan lads who did their county proud, one bit of congratulations.
Makes me wonder who these apologists really are!!!!!!!

sometimes things happen for a reason, Seanie,Big Gearoid , plus other players,and the present young squad,Cavan will,should, be a force next year in Ulster,first, mc kenna cup, then league, then Ulster, who knows after, imagine Seanie, Gearoid on the team this year,i personally feel, think, if he plays ok, he should have his chance in the team,let bygones, be bygones,and its up to him then,Terry Hyland is a good guy, he will know what to do.best wishes to Cavan for the future, its been a great year and things will only get better, Donegal now thats a big question at the minute..............

He looks to have bulked up since his time with Kildare. I think that will stand to him in the cut-and-thrust of Ulster football.

Opinions? Guide? .. Clitty?

The fact that he bulked up didn't help his cause in Kildare. In fact, apart from the 20 mins against Wicklow when he scored 7 pts, he didn't make any significant contribution on the field for us, or Kildare, since. He played his best football while in DCU where he was a virtual professional. He couldn't cope with the close marking he got in Ulster and was easily managed and distracted by average defenders. While I have a lot of sympathy for SJ the person, on the way the whole thing was played out in public, he was more than happy to rub it in to us with his pointed free in Breffni. The way he looked for that opportunity burned the bridges for me. Let's be honest, as an exercise, it was a complete failure. He wasn't good enough for Kildare so how could he be good enough for us?

That point in Breffni is a particular bone of contention for many, but ,unless he confided in you personally you have no right to make such assumptions about his feelings or intentions. Even if he did feel like getting one over on his former team mates, club mates, friends, neighbors, family etc. surely he can be forgiven for making a cynical and misguided decision at such a stressful time? A time when underhanded journalists and other people involved are bending the truth, leaving friend and foe near impossible to tell apart? People can be very judgmental when it comes to others, while forgetting their own skeletons. Do you know exactly how you would react in such an embattled position? Did you ever think about this young mans well-being and how his quality of life has been affected? I have no ties to SJ, his family or his club but I believe in decency and compassion and in treating others how I would like to be treated. The shameful question of whether he is now good enough to play for Cavan should not even be dignified with a response. Players are not a units of productivity, nor pieces of equipments and it would be a terrible message for an amateur organisation at the centre of the community to send out to young people. We as a county have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have grown up off the field as well as on it, and that our organisation is strong and great because it is built on solid values.
