Best of last years B team minus retirees plus young lads and cast offs from the 'A' panel I take it?!
Should be alright...best of luck anyway!
Why ask in the first place if you knew the above.

They should do alright when everyone is fit but at various stages they'll be missing people and I was just saying thats when your squad comes in useful. They should have a panel of 16 when everyone is fit and theres no reason why they can't call up 3 B lads to occupy spaces on the bench when necessary. If Johan and Damo get a solid 11 committed to training and playing every week, then they'll have a good season. Won't go giving away any valuable team information but from a squad of 20 named at the beginning of 2008, 10 players have left for various reasons but replaced by 6 good players that you've mentioned. Paul Curry is a big loss though.
Whos the 10 joe. pLus have we not only signed 4 ? No?

'etoo' what has that comment about irish junior soccer got to do with anything?? I aint a journalist I am writing this as an honest opinion ok less of the smat ass who do you think you are??:cool:;)'eamon dunphy'??this is about expressing an opinion and that is what i am doing. "westport" "westport" "westport"....iorras always give them a good game there not all there made out to be beleive me i know what I'm talking about.The westport lads are honest footballers and they'd be the first to tell you how tough of a game iorras give them. whats this bulls**t about iorras and GAA players???????Iorras have a few Gaa players, what difference does that make? they are commited to both teams and fareplay to the lads. Iorras won't be relegated beleive me, its between Iorras and Westport this year scroll back to this qoute at the end of the super league and you'l see, Iorras were missing 10 players from first team squad the weekend!!! how would westport do against snugboro with ten players from first team squad absent.. doesent say much for snugboro only winning 2-1..............In my opinion Kilmore are more of a threat to Iorras and westport than some of the teams that are been listed as serious canditates..wake up and smell the roses lads give credit where credit is due..no disrespect to snugboro just think peple are writing off iorras at a very early stage Iorras love that though and will thrive on it!!:D
be great if they could prove all the "experts" wrong and finish outside of the relegation zone....have they a chance? how they shaping up?

I was at the game and the three nil scoreline is not particularly representative of the match. It was nil all and quite even at half time, Manulla scored immediately after the break with a good finish by their no.7 'killer''. The other two goals were a simple mistake from our keeper and a goal in the last minute from an utterly offside position. Manulla deserved the win, but just about and we were missing key players. Interesting to see they could not put out a full bench even. On this performance they will be well off the pace in the Super league. But then so will we...

Celtic 1 S&F 3
Celtic missed penalty at 1-1 and utd took their chances. Nothing much between the teams. S&F not bad considering all the players that has left but their back four will leek goals as will ours. Mid to bottomf or both teams. Celtic will improve once they get the leaving certs back.

Once you get leaving certs back :eek: You cant be depending on a few 17 year olds to strengthen a team in the SL surely?
I agree with point above, think it'll be a dog fight relegation battle for about 5 teams including us, kilmore and ballyheane.
Hopefully we can improve on the result against Manulla this weekend by getting something against ye :)

Manulla could have been 5 -1 up at half time against the wind,started second half well,caught fahy cold with early goal, the second goal was a point blank header powered in off the keepers hand,third goal was a good finish at the far post- but maybe offside.....

Leaving certs - Say that to John O'
Look football is about skill and speed and not big fellows kicking lumps out of each other- 17 / 18/ 19 if you’re good enough you are.... and these lads are good enough. I know you cannot have a U18 team in the SL due to the physical side of the game but a few on the team will make a big difference but maybe you are like Hanson you cannot win........ We all know Fahy play a physical game with older lads and teams have to deal with this and I know some day when your youths start coming on board your ideas will change. I hope so.

Name any successful club in the world with a four or five 17/18 year olds as their main players. Don't exist. Ye will be looking to the experienced players to get ye over the line this year!
8 or 9 of our strongest 16 are under 26, only 3 or 4 over 30. Thats not old, thats normal for any club. Good teams need to be physical in some areas of the pitch. Look at Westport, they play nice football but nothing soft about the likes of Scahill, Horkan, Lawless and Geraty is there??
Its nice to have the young lads coming through as we had in 2002/2003 also but not an excuse for losing surely if your without them?

Fair enough, thought I'd have to back track a bit on that comment. As a snugboro player, i've no problem with it, sign whoever you want. I was speaking specifically from the viewpoint of a fringe Ballyheane player who will have to play B football this year as he was pushed out of the A squad by an as of yet unproven Galway league footballer. I hope it works out for Ballyheane and its the prerogative of the Ballyheane manager to sign the players he knows. Its just a high number to sign and I was shocked that that number of players agreed to sign for a whole season considering the distance to travel. Wasn't a dig at anyone.
Joe. A lot of the so called fringe players have moved on or have been moved on and the ethos of the B team has also changed dramatically in recent years.
The kids in the B are not good enough yet but are getting there. Some of the previous A players have left of their own making - Ash, or have been shown the door - You know them. Therefore there is a void and thats where the Galway lads come in. The team will still have a Heane bone of Fahey, Bourke, Coghill, Monroe, McHugh, Oosten and Conroy to name a few.
This road has been travelled before by Westport and Celtic to name just two with chequered results.
We shall wait and see...........

Where did I use the excuse of not winning because we had our U-18's missing. If you see my post all I said is that we will be stonger when they return. I also mentioned all the players that S&F were missing. You should look at developing your own youth system and stop knocking ours. I also recall wen Scahill, Horkan, Nevin, McLoughlin, McHale, Cameron, Lawless and Geraty all came into a poor Utd team as 18 year olds and as far as I know won the SL the following year.

Colin Corrigan been a boro player for 9-10 years now as has McDonnell
Stevie Gavin is a former LOI player
Flanagan played a few years celtic youths but is essentially A Dub having not played local football for some time
Therefore these statement are void of any substance
The others you are correct. And I wont be debating the matter futher.
By the way you forgot Yohan if thats the case. Alot more recent then the above. selective memory eh?
Everyone is a free agent at the end of the season so its up to themselves if they want to join a new club. No ones getting paid to play in the super league( except for the 8 lads from galway ;)) so its there choice who they play for. Most players moving between clubs around the town(manulla,celtic,snugboro) do so because they have friends or some other connection with the club.
Anyway, my point is it happens to every club,nothing anyone can do about it.
Super League just around the corner, best of luck to everyone and i hope everyone puts up a good challenge and maybe someone else can win the league for a change.

These 8 lads aren't allowed play until June 1st in the Mayo League according to the rules we're all bound by. That is unless they played for no club during the season that just finished in Galway!
They haven't played yet have they??

See how many super leagues your young guys win ye. I think Westport had a good bunch of players at that time which led to a good SL team. Pity the best ones now play with Fahy or they could've been LOI by now :D
I am envious of your youth system, keep up the good work, dont take it too seriously :ball:

I havent seen the Mayo News but as far as the Connaught and the Western are concerned the coverage of the start of the league is woeful and non exsistant. Has Celtics games in the A league overshadowed the Super league?? Well so far yes. Each year the connaught does a decent piece on each club and the standings. This year nothing. Im certainly not holding my breath for anything in the advertiser as its coverage of soccer is a joke. Surley the A league and the Super can be given equal coverage?
What are other posters opinions on this( and just to state im not dissing the A league)

This is of course until Westport enter a team in it, then it is the most important league ever:D. I wouldnt be holding my breath however as I think you need to have your own ground to enter it. As for the Super league coverage it is truely woefull.

Just my honest opinion...its a B league for people who wanna play in the LOI but aren't good enough to get paid.
Im sure the lads feel like better players playing in it but at the end of the day all the teams are reserve sides of LOI!
Super league is less travelling and not that far off it standard wise. Each to their own though...

At the end of the day if ye played Westport tomorrow they would still give ye a good lesson in football. Compare player for player to see how far behind Westport ye still are in football.
Looks like Celtic are begining to think their above ML all of a sudden....you'd swear ye won the ML ten years in a row the way you go on!

It is my opinion that your two brain cells may have collided.
Its not Celtics fault that the Connaught have dedicated there sports pages to them but Tom Kelly.
A few months ago everyone was wishing Celtic the best of luck and now all this **** about them being higher than the ML. they still have teams in the SL and premier. In my opinion its great to see a club from Mayo in the A league and hopefully they can do the same as Mervue in a few years. As for the 'average players' at least there giving it a go at the top and so far its not looking too bad from a Celtic point of you.
Im not associated with Celtic by the way but would like to see them do well and progress further in the LOI
Thats my opinion,no need for explanation.
