RIP Liam, a gentleman who always brought a bit of humour to a game. I suppose we returned the humour when he had to put up with us in The Lounge.

RIP.

[NoelM]

From all at Cross Celtic, RIP, he was a very good ref and a nice man.

Not enough great things can be said about him.

All games cancelled as a mark of respect for the late Liam McEntee RIP who sadly passed away this morning. Go ndeanaidh Dia Trocaire ar a anam dhilis

It is with deep sadness and profound loss that we mourn the passing of our dear friend and colleague in the football world, Liam McEntee, at such a young age. Our deepest sympathies are extended to his wife Samantha, daughter Jennifer and sons Conor and Ciaran. Our sympathies are also offered to Liam’s father, brothers, sisters and extended family members and friends.

Liam’s brave battle with cancer over recent months was indicative of the strong will, character and resilience of the man. Despite his serious illness in recent times, Liam was always positive and showed great determination in fighting his illness, and was at all times positive about the future. He never allowed his pain or suffering to overcome his desire to return to normal life – but this was not to be.

Liam’s involvement in football in Mayo started some 11 years ago when his pals Brendan Gibbons and Mick Walsh encouraged him to take up refereeing within the Mayo League. Having been an outstanding football player himself with Tolka Rovers and Collins Utd in the Dublin Leagues, Liam adapted very easily to the role of referee. It was only a short number of years later that he commanded the position of leading referee in the county, and indeed within the province, having officiated at many finals at county and provincial level. Liam had a marvelous rapport and understanding with players, and his intelligent, common sense approach, along with a calming influence eased many a difficult situation on the field of play – this in turn was to make him one of the most highly respected referees in the county.

In his working capacity, Liam was equally professional in everything he did. His ability to talk, listen and communicate with people was one of his greatest assets. This ability, along with his intelligent and respectful manner, allowed him to develop a close and healthy working relationship with all his work colleagues.

We have lost a dear friend and colleague, who was highly respected throughout the entire football community. His gentlemanly ways brought him many friends, and he was so easy to work with whatever the circumstance. He was always fast to praise, positive in his outlook, and generous in his admiration for others. We will most of all miss his friendship along with his quick “Dublin wit” and good humour, and we will forever remember his generosity of gratitude to those who cared for him during his recent illness. Liam McEntee was a loving, caring family person who will be deeply missed by his devoted family. We thank all those who cared for Liam during his illness. May he rest in peace.

Joe Butler
The Chairman of the Mayo League, Pat Quigley, offered his sympathies to the McEntee family and expressed the Leagues feelings on the death of Liam:-
“We are deeply saddened today with the sad news of the death of a dear football colleague and friend. Liam McEntee was an outstanding referee who gave tremendous service to the game of football in Mayo over the past 11 years. His untimely death at such an early age has left has left a huge void to fill for his family and those nearest and dearest to him. I had several discussions with Liam during his illness, and he always projected a positive manner with the hope of returning to full health, and to the playing fields - this however was not to be the case. We offer our deepest sympathies to his wife Samantha, and children Jennifer, Ciaran and Conor along with his father, brothers and sisters. As a mark of respect the entire Mayo League programme for this week end has been postponed. May he rest in peace.”

Where are we playing ye sunday?

Glencorrib, the pitch is okay now.

[purplemonkeydis]

swinford v conn rangers away
moy villa v glenisland home
claremorris b v ballina utd home
cross celtic v snugboro draw

[sprah1]

swinford v conn rangers Draw
moy villa v glenisland Draw
claremorris b v ballina utd Home
cross celtic v snugboro Away

Those results would make it interesting!

[Wingman]

Swinford 0 : 2 Conn Rangers - Dodgy peno decision for the first, but Conn deserved the win

[NoelM]

Us 0 Snugboro 3, well deserved win for Snugboro.

[sinabhuil]

I agree they deserved the 3 points but the margin does not reflect that they only had 5 shots on goal.

Well as the old cliche says" you have to take your chances". Certainly didnt seem like the cross side we played twice in the season before. I asssume ye were missing a few.

[minivan man]

claremorris b 10-5 ballina utd, some game cmorris 9 nil up but switched off and let ballina utd in for 5 goals before rounding it off at 10 :D

[sprah1]

All very tight at the top, five teams can still possibly get promoted. What's the prediction?

[purplemonkeydis]

too tight to call really.i would personally think snugboro are outsiders,apart from that its imposible to call.claremorris have already exceeded all expectations and begining of the year predictions

[yellowmonkey]

Think Moy Villa are starting to stall! couple of bad results at home for them

[minivan man]

any one hear any thing regarding a resolution to this issue (moy villa played suspended player in fixture in claremorris) i have heard that league are to replay the fixture and that moy villa have appealed this. also correct me if i'm wrong but i did not think a replay is in the mayo league rules.:confused:

Whatever the outcome, the league made a right hash of it......that ones being going on for months...if it is a replay when will they play it?? cant see that happening...if illegal(suspended) player played then 3 points to the opposition...surely they can find time at meetings to make decisions like this...after of course the big decisions re fundraising !

[sprah1]

Claremorris B v Moy Villa match to be repayed Nov 8th, with final league fixtures on Nov 15th. That makes next Sundays Snug v Chastown an even bigger match, as both now in with real chance of promotion if Moy drop points in Claremorris.

The league finishes on the 8th. Its gone out in E-Mail. The 15th will be used for unplayed fixtures. Plus what would be the point in delaying everyone just for 2 teams to replay. Who gave you this info anyway??? :confused:

It's on a revised email 26th October, the oscar traynor match is on the 8th and all league matches are at 11 AM Sunday morning.

8th November

Oscar Traynor Mayo v Inishowen at 2pm
Super League Round 12 Fahy Rovers v Snugboro Utd
Premier Division Round 15 Ballinrobe Town v Swinford,
Division 1 Round 16 Killala v Clew Bay
Division 2 Round 4 Claremorris 'B' v Moy Villa

:confused: - ......official e-mail from league...don't know what E-Mail you refer to...
The point is that the replayed game can have a significant impact on both the winners position and/or the promotion place, and it would be unfair on other teams in Div 2 if one game was left after the final round of games.

[minivan man]

ballina utd v swinford b= away
glenisland v cross= home
conn rangers v moy villa= draw
snugboro b v charlestown= draw

Snugboro V Charlestown postponed. Waterlogged pitch. At this rate the league won't be decided by Christmas.

Crazy decision... seems like some one didnt want to play this fixture.....Snugboro A team away to Westport and some players asked to go from what i hear .... we offered to switch the fixture and were told it was a no go. Also ref that inspected the pitch was the ref for westport game :confused: all seems a bit fishy to me...... wouldnt even agree to a later kick off, and from talking to some of our guys over there the pitch had no surface water at all. No one to blame here except the Snugboro guys. We did all we could to play the fixture and if it does go to Christmas ur commitee still wont let ye play on the pitch.

I think your apportioning blame a little too widespread there murphs. I can guarantee every member of the Snugboro B panel and management wanted to play today. The A game later has absolutely on affect on the B panel, regardless if a few lads were asked to tog or not.
Playing it in Charlestown would always be a non runner, you'd struggle to find any team in the world willing to give up home advantage at this stage. The game will likely be next week. Not everything is a conspiracy theory.

Heard a reliable boro commitee member said early this week that this game wouldn't be played this weekend....... and as for giving up home advantage , its not like your going to get 20,000 screeming supporters at any game is it....... catch a grip. If ye wanted to play this game it could have been played simple as ..... why not leave it till later afternoon before writing it off??? Its obvious that there were some other factors from where we are standing. Some of your lads turned up while our guys were there and they were shocked that the pitch was deemed unplayable.

as you said that the same ref was down to ref in the afternoon so he wouldnt ba available for it to be re-fixed during the day.
You wouldnt give up home advantage for such a crucial game no matter what you say, simple as....
plus whatever dusty tells ya committee members dont call off games. its up to the ref and im sure the ref wants a bit of extra money so he wouldnt want to call it off. from what i hear the boro had a full strenght squad for this game, never mind the A team as they have nothing to play for and wouldnt take any of the B teams starting 11 only there fringe players if they were needed to make up numbers.just play it next week and stop being such a winge just because you had to get up early:D

OH good man yourself, one would tend to forget that if you say something it must be fact!

Would you like to ammend the constitution while you're at it?

Bit brave to mention someone who never said a word i think ..... you better get your facts straight before you put names up on a public forum me thinks. Plus abother fact is that the ref down for this game was not the "official" who decided the pitch was unplayable. Seems you need to do a little research before you go talking about things you know nothing about and bringing innocent personell into it :eek:. Seems like its you whose on the "fringes" of your club

Glenisland 0 Cross Celtic 1, typical end of season match with very little to play for.

settle down - why dont you blame your guys for casting you 6 points earlier in the season and stop trying to cause an fight on here - sort out your own house before coming on here ....... then i might listen to ya .....

oh another point - the westport v snugboro a team game was call off ....

Me thinks that the replayed Snug v Chastown match next week, will be a feisty affair....on the sidelines!!!..... a draw not much good for either now.

All still in melting pot now after Villa's win today...must make them hot favourites though?? a win and draw from last two games will be enough....Tough battle for promotion place.....could well be a play off?

was at the game. scrappy enough but villa held out and prob deserved the win in the end. Ye should fancy ypur chances against them as i heard some of them saying after the game that they can only play players registered before the original fixture... is that true?
