This Is Our Year
Main article: This Is Our Year

This Is Our Year is a 2011 book by journalist Declan Bogue. The book examines the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship from the perspectives of ten Gaelic footballers from Ulster. The book achieved notoriety after Donegal footballer Kevin Cassidy was dropped from the team squad by manager Jim McGuinness over his contributions.[13][14][15] He released a statement in November 2011 saying it "appears my inter-county career is over".[16][17]
