It was a good result alright. We wont get carried away yet though, very tough game this weekend against Westport.

Who was the better side in Kilmore or how did the game go?

wasn't at the game but from what i was told celtic had the better of the chances in the second half and were denied a stone wall penalty. having said that kilmore hit the crossbar in the first half one of the lads told me. snugboro down there next week and i'd imagine they will find it tough aswell. in principle, that should be a hard place to get three points for most teams but i haven't seen them play so i don't know.

Manulla 2, Iorras Aontaithe 1

[FahyForever]

Fahy Rovers 2 Westport United 3.

Valiant performance from Fahy who were two one up fifteen minutes into the second half until we conceded a penalty and had a man sent off as a result. It was ball to hand and the sending off was harsh, although he was on a yellow card. Dessie converted and then went on to score another from a long kick out from Gary Cunningham which the Fahy defence allowed to bounce in their half, our keeper (who had a fine game) didn't come and Dessie snuck in a slotted it home.

Westport went one up two minutes before half time from a header at the back post by Vinnie O Malley. Fahy had defended well up up until then and should have scored in the first minute when a cross from the left found Gary Goggins with an open goal. Westport, unsurprisingly, had most of the ball but were constantly pressurised by Fahy, who saw good performances from Joe and Tomas Keane, Ed Carolan and Stephen Moran. Westport were astonished to concede two goals in as many minutes early in the second half with Richie Needham and Rob Moore scoring. Shortly after the penalty incident occured.

Westport's best, in my opinion, were Kipper Joyce, Dave Cameron and the two centre halves. Dave Hoban caused trouble in the air before a clash with a team mate left him with what looked like a bad enough injury. I hope, as I´m sure everyone at Fahy does, that it's not his knee, which caused him a couple of long-term absences. Dave Horkan got hurt too, so best of luck to them both. The Westport fans were numerous, vocal and good-natured, many of them commenting on how unneccessary our sending off was.

So the Westport machine ploughs on, while Fahy can hold their heads up on the back of three solid performances.

With 4-1 up how good you consider it a good performance, when one must consider that your team lacked concentration for the last 8 minutes.you either play for 82 min, or 90, or better still until The Fat Lady's Sings!!

Rob Moore played up front? He only left Celtic 2 or 3 weeks ago, was he registered that quick?

Unlucky with the result, ye are showing ye are well fit to play with the big boys.

Are you implying he is not registered?

Not at all, I am sure he is, but I THOUGHT, that it took a bit longer than a few weeks. Obviously it doesn't.

He is still the manager of the Club and has full backing of all committee and players. As with every club some problems arise and will be dealt with in due course. That is situation at present . Anything else is hearsay

Do celtic pay players/managers? Who cares...be nice to get a few pound to play but dont think any super league players are getting paid.

Fair point,he tends to rabble on a bit.I know for a fact that Celtic do not pay any players

I know they were paying players about a year or so ago,just wondering are they still doing it

[FahyForever]

Fahy Rovers beat Ballyheane 3-1 tonight. Good performance, well taken goals. To be fair to them, they had a lot of possession on the first half but looked toothless until Ger Burke came on half way through the second half. I presume he was injured or something, because he was by far their most dangerous player. Ballyheane had the best of the first half but must have been gutted to see us score against the run of play two minutes before half time. We ran the second half and Joe Keane and Pat Mc Nally at centre half had fine games. If Joe Keane doesn't get an Oscar Traynor call up it's a travesty, he has out-played strikers from serious teams in this division consistently.

Ballyheane will feel hard done by, they had two goals disallowed for offside and one of them seemed fine, but we had a goal disallowed too, which was patently legitimate. The fact that their was no linesmen didn't help, and I'm starting to think it's a matter of who you are. Have Westport played a game without linesmen this season?? A ref making decisions which could change a match from fifty yards is not good enough. And I mean that for both teams.

Anyway, Fahy have made their point early, the insinuations of long ball tactics and being overly-physical are unfounded, and always were. It's early doors, but Fahyhave set a benchmark for the rest of their season

While I may have being involved at the club in over 18 years, it hadn't happened in my time. However you would have to ask the question to someone who is involved at the club, hope this is satisfactory.:)

Well done yesterday, I was one of the people who thought, you wouldn't mix it. well you proved me wrong, hope it continues.
your report by the way 10 out of 10 you made a lot of good points. Lets hope the man in Black takes a good look at him self, ask was he up to it.
well done once again.

Is he good enough for the oscar traynor squad? maybe this year with alot of castlebar players gone. I'd say the mayo team will be made up of westport and ballina players with probably stevie gavin. Any word on who the managers is this year or is kilkelly still going to take it?

[No. 7]

In relation to Joe Keane for the Oscar Traynor team, i'm still unsure. i've seen him play this season and he is excellent when the ball is pumped down on top of him, he'll clear it all day, however he's not so good when the balls are played down the channels and he's turned. The game i seen him play this happened a few times and he looked only average. very weak on his left foot too.

You say he has outclassed strikers from serious teams consistently in this division. Teams might be serious but the strikers i don't think so. Who are these strikers.

Celtic have Russel Gibbons, Sean McHale with A team
Kilmore, doubt they have any serious strikers
Snugboro have Sean Curry, Paul Curry gone to Sligo
Ballyheane don't have anyone worth talking about

Save Dessie for Westport who has he faced..................

Did Dessie not score against ye?

Wait until season is over before you pass judgement....

great result for ye on Sat night............

I agree with everything you said,swinford played fahy in a friendly at the start of the year and he loves the ball pumped in on top of him but is not that great when the ball is played on the ground..There is 5 or 6 better centre backs in mayo in my opinion.

[GoodFootball]

Joe Keane has probably been the man of the match in 4 out of 5 games so far. Best centre back on show so far from all we've played against. That list includes: Geraty, Lawless, Burke, Mark McGreal. He has faced Gerry Burke, Dessie, Ger McLoughlin, Hoban. All of the above are oscar traynor players for definite ths year so why shouldn't Joe be? If he keeps up the performances there will be a spot for him.

[Bandit]

You already have..

[No. 7]

Name them

Players i think that are ahead of him include Martin Geraghty, Joe Lawless, Peter Burke, Mark McGreal, Paul Walsh, Tommy Walsh....

All of the above as well as defending, are actually very good with the ball at their feet...........

[GoodFootball]

Agree Tommy Walsh, Lawless and Geraty are better than Joe. Peter Burke?? are you joking, played against him the last day and while he used to be one of the best his mayo days are behind him.

"Joe will be in the squad for Mayo" play it back to me at the end of the season.

So will Gary Goggins...and maybe more of the Fahy Elite if we keep up our performances!

[FahyForever]

No.7 there are a few inaccuracies in your assessment in my opinion. Firstly Joe Keane is comfortable on his left foot, and certainly not 'very weak' as you put it. His footballing ability is underestimated too, as you normally see him hammering out headers as you mentioned. Also, your advice to 'Wait until season is over before you pass judgement....' was unneccessary, as the very last thing I wrote was 'its early doors yet, but Fahy have set themselves a benchmark', or something like that. Far from judging, I was saying it's too early to judge fully.

Bandit, we were appalling in pre-season, as the 7-8 loss to K+K United illustrated. The performances as a whole have been better and Keane's in particular have been excellent. I just think he deserves a call up to the trials, that's all, see how he does against the best. Surely there will be five or six centre halves for the first session anyway? Be nice to see a few players from the smaller clubs being given a chance.

On a different note, I see in the paper that Kilmore V Ballyheane are the ones that have to put up with no linesmen this week. It must be alternated between Fahy and Kilmore to go without. That's the third match I have seen since the league started in which Mick Walsh is expected to go it alone. Doesn't seem quite right.

My mistake fahy Forever, i read your post wrong, i thought you meant he deserved to make the squad not that you thought he deserved a trial. Of course he's good enough to get a trial, sure anyone with any bit of ability will get a trial...........

[pinero]

dont hold out much hope for keane making oscar traynor david reilly at iorras has been outstanding over last three seasons and had to make do with place on bench not even a run, mayo had a midfielder playing back there when one of regular centre halfs was outs something wrong there.dont complain about three officals more often than not, the linesman
appointed are not up to stratch and it costs club a fortune. mick walsh will do a good job on his own.
