I Hear Ballyheane got screwed over by the ref in Athenry. He gave Athenry a penalty in extra time when a Ballyheane player shouted as Athenry had a shot. I would have thought this to be a indirect freekick at worse and maybe a caution for the player. Sounds like the ref gave Athenry a get out of jail card.

lotof good teams there. of the galway sides who are the best.(west/ayhenry)

[Billynose]

West would be the best in Galway, they have only lost one game this season in all competitions. In my opinion there's only the toss of a coin between Athenry and Hibs.

[The Don]

what happened in the game?what was the final score?

1-0 aet

[Whipitin]

Has the draw just been made for the fourth round or has the fifth round been drawn as well???

[Shedzer]

Ballisodare v West will be good, Ballisodare only unbearten team in Sligo v West who are supposidly Galways best team

[Thunderblaster]

Manulla v Athenry, Salthill Devon v NUIG and Snugboro v S&F United would be my three ties.

[keith.henn]

Ohhh....and Castlebar getting bet at home by Ballygawley....how reliable is the draw posted on this??? I havent been able to find it anywhere else, any chance they might do it again for us???

[mucker]

the draw was on the galway fa webpage. All hard draws from now in.;)

[keith.henn]

does it say who we will be playing in the next round#????

[mucker]

no , not that i seen? ye confident!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:

[keith.henn]

about as confident as I am about Liverpool holding out on top of the Prem

[mucker]

Un likley , but u never know? Kick lumps out of them and dont let them play.:)

[keith.henn]

what club are you with?? we are a strange bunch, cant keep the lads in on a saturday night so struggle on sunday morning, but offer them a bus trip away and an afternoon kick off and they're a different set of players, particulary on the good pitches you find outside the Sligo/Leitrim league. After last Sundays trip to the other side of Belmullet and a near 3 hour bus trip back I'm looking forward to the chance to play in Castlebar.

Do they have a floodlit pitch, could kill two birds with one stone with a saturday night kick off

[mucker]

not to sure, but i would say the have lights.

im with your near neighbours ( sunday 11am) . WE got a serious hard one aswell. West are ment to be handy. We played them bout 5 years ago, 2 games abandoned due to weather and 3rd went to extra time .( down in galway) .

Sure well give it a go.

[keith.henn]

We got Castlebar, ye got West united, Cliffoney gor Westport away...odds on a premier team in the next round????

[Leveller]

Castlebar have floodlights. What are cliffoney like?

[keith.henn]

cliffoney arent too bad, they will be in the promotion mix in th epremier league, they were top of the prem last xmas but had a bad run and were nearly relegated....it was atight league last year, 5 pts seperated the promtion and relegation play off places, will probably be the same this year....in all fairness the likes of yourselves and castlebar should be too strong for us and cliffoney even if ye are in the close season, the junior cup will keep ye ticking over........are castlebar a long ball team????

For the last few years they have been. They like to play the ball over the top and get most of their goals from set pieces. Their fullback has a great long throw. They have lost alot of players since Gavi Dykes left but are still dangerous.

Firstly that full back with the long throw is actually a centre half,Ball over the top!!!!!They try and play football all the time.Mabye in Mr Dykes time they played long ball.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, Celtic play long ball tactics and do score alot of goals from set pieces. Their goalkeepers foot must be sore from having to launch the ball forward over the top all the time.

When Celtic try to play football against good sides they normally lose so they should stick to the Dykes routine :ball:

[pavillion.road]

GoodFootball, you have got to be joking! I'm not sure when was the last time you saw celtic play, by the sounds of it you must watch every game, but let me assure you celtic are no long ball team.
Only 2 months ago they blew ballina off the pitch in milebush, 3-0 with not one goal arriving from a set piece.
Despite the fact they lost 11 of mayos best young players since then, they have still easily beaten swinford, glenhest and claremorris with flowing attacking football (you can only beat what's put in front of you)....long ball my a***

[threefivetwo]

good football never goes to any games, he's a brother of a certain westport striker and i've never seen him at a game, so let him come out with his jealous remarks and stick to your own team, fahy, good lad!! hoofin?? i wasn't admitting to it at all i was just saying that if we were hoofers it must have been working but we're not. ballina in milebush is a perfect example and you ask anybody in mayo what we were l;ike that day not just celtic people and they will tell you about the football we played, quality on the ground football, go to a game some time good lad and get off that jealousstreak and learn how to play football yourself!! you wouldn't be anywhere near the celtic team so who are you to talk when ya can't play yourself??? keep trying good lad!!

it's our centre back with the long throw and that hasn't been used in months, i don't think it has actually been used once since dykesie left!!! set pieces??? i don't know where you get that from, we're a small side so don't see why we would depend on set pieces!!!! we train on getting the ball in to the front two on the ground because we have strikers with the quality to get in behind, so please stop talkin about things ye haven't got a clue about!

Honestly you really havent got a clue,If you had you would not come out with the rubbish that you do.Answer me one question...Please tell me what celtic game you have been at lately where you saw the long ball game.Until you can answer that please put something in ure mouth,we are supposed to have a problem with pork at the moment,but with the way you spout off you will be in danger of getting "foot and mouth "

You didnt beat us in the league with a strong team. Glenhest (Premier Division), Claremorris (lower part of superleague) and Swinford (Sub Premier) are very average teams it is easy to play good football against average teams.

Three five two - sorry i forgot, you were at the game against tralee last year thats how you know all about the game ya??? i think if you actually were there you would know we won easy they never threatened and we could and should have scored way more!!!

hoofers for the past few years??? i don't think so but seein as you're such an expert and go to evry one of our games you obviously know, obviousl it works if we've gotten into 2 semi finals and further than westport in the last few years in the fai!!!!!! ye should start hoofin!!!!

Above is the quote you made in the Junior Cup thread. Where you admitted you are hoofers now you claim you are getting the ball on the ground. Make your mind up.

The two league games against us in the summer when you suffered back to back defeats.

I suppose your right leveller, maybe celtic should have played in those league games the way they did whilst knocking wport out of both mayo cup competitions only a few weeks previous :rolleyes:

[west awake]

west united will go close this year i think,there shaping up nicely this season.a few new additions from last year which have really strengthened them.

[kingkong]

castlebar mitchells would at least beat westport!!

Been to enough Celtic games to see that ye play football like Bolton, ye dont have the physical side now so maybe ye are changing style of football, remains to be seen.

Backup your other personal comments on the pitch next year...im looking forward to it!! Nothing like a good battle with another physical player ;)

As much as I LOVE celtic, it would a step backwards for me playing for them, thanks for the invite all the same! All the best trying to get back into the Oscar Traynor team :D

Seen that you cant back up your comments,why ask 352 to back up his.
It would be a step backwards alright as you would not even grace thier B team

As for 352 getting back in the oscar traynor team,have no worries he will be back in a lot sooner than you think.

When was the last time you had the honour to wear your county jersey!!!!!!

[1924]

Good joke ;)

As per usual you try and squirm out of the questions you are asked,trying to make a joke of things.Thank god you do not play for westport or celtic as they would be embarrased by your comments here

[1924]

That is correct,but since the new management team came in,thier philisophy is total football.And no one can argue with that!!!!

With yourself and goodfootball there is a complete bias towards Castlebar Celtic,Every comment that is made you/ye try and be-little everything about castlebar.If someone makes a genuine point to ye ,and ye cannot answer ye then try and belittle the post.Lads I dont love westport and probably never will but I know the difference between good and bad and I would like to think that I know a little about soccer.I have no problem in admitting that westport are a decent footballing team,and also on the other hand that Celtic are the same albeit they have not had the same sucess as westport this last year or two.No excuses, but lads Castlebar have lost a lot of underage players which does not help.So get off the anti Castlebar rant.

Did it ever occur to you that the lads are merely extracting the urine???? It´s been going on for months and yet every time both yourself and Stevie rise to it... Of course the boys are going to keep it up, it´s too funny not to! Believe me, there is no genuine bias towards Celtic, it´s just that the season is over (for us anyway) and it´s a nice moment in the day to come online and see one of ye either crying or going nuts over some supposed slur on your beloved team. Especially when 352 posts after a night out! Keep it up boys, it´s making the long winter nights that little bit shorter...

Loving your pathetic reply, you must be playing for Mayo yourself with the big talk. Hope u reveal yourself before we play celtic next season as it makes the game more interesting from my perspective. I'll understand if you dont though. Thanks for assessing my football skills though! Do yo come to all my games?

I dont need to play for Mayo or Castlebar Celtic to enjoy my football, I have nothing to prove, looking forward to the challenge of the super league. Cheers buddy ;)
