CASSIDY SPEAKS IN GAELIC LIFE NEWSPAPER INTERVIEW – NO REGRETS, HE SAYS

Donegal star Kevin Cassidy told a newspaper today he has no regrets about contributing to the controversial book which led to his sacking from the county team.

In a statement released exclusively to Gaelic Life, Cassidy said that he felt he had not overstepped the mark in revealing information about what went on in the Donegal camp, and insisted that he meant no harm by any of his comments.

He tells today’s edition: “It was with total honesty that I approached it and I don’t believe I revealed any secrets within the squad. Anything that I discussed had been said before the publication.

“Our achievements this year were incredible and the times we shared will stay with me forever. It was an incredible time to be a Donegal player. At the end of the season there was a sense of unfinished business, but due to present circumstances it will remain as that for me.”

The double All-Star revealed various secrets about training under Jim McGuinness as well as other revealing aspects of the team.

“Anything that I discussed had been said before the publication. Our achievements this year were incredible and the times we shared will stay with me forever. It was an incredible time to be a Donegal player.

“At the end of the season there was a sense of unfinished business, but due to present circumstances it will remain as that for me,” he said.

Cassidy added that he never intended to disrespect any other players or management.

He also said the reason why he didn’t mention his involvement in the book was because the team was in the middle of preparing for their championship challenge.

He also said that he has never read the book and said what he wanted to say.

In his column in Gaelic Life, Cassidy’s former county colleague Brendan Devenney reveals his surprise at how serious the situation became, and wonders how the void created by the wing-back’s absence will be filled for next season.

“I know both men [Cassidy and McGuinness] well, and I can see their reasons. It’s just unfortunate that this whole sorry mess had to go as far as they have done,” write Devenney.

Gaelic Life went on sale this morning.

Copies of the book have been selling like hot cakes!
