I know it just fine and I also know that Bangor Hibs played Kilmore in a promotion relegation play-off in a neutral venue (Erris)as did Ballyheane b and Charlestown Athletic (Attymass) last year. Maybe you should do a little research before comming on here talking tripe. There was only play-offs between 3rd bottom of the 1st division and winner of 2nd placed team play off in division 2a & 2b up until last year when they decided to do it with the SL. And I also recall that Ballyheane B played 3 play off games last year without setting foot in Milebush. So please dont speak to me about not knowing my local soccer.
Lots of useless proposals come up at so called league meetings but when it comes to the crunch only the top divisional sides are allowed to play in milebush (unless its cup final or semi final stage)

Our playoff against Ballyheane B was in Manulla last year.

What a load of rubbish these playoffs are. Rangers clearly are ahead of Charlestown on goal difference and should go up. Whats the point in goal difference if its doesnt mean diddley squat. If a club can manage to score a good quantity of goals they should be rewarded for this. Thats what goals are for! More dragged out time for the league

Goal difference has never come into it in Mayo football and to be honest it should. But you can count yourself lucky or else ye could have been staring down the barrel of 2 massive humiliating defeats in Snugboro. If goal difference was a factor then ye could be staring at 2 embarrasing defeats in 2 weeks ;)

The only one talking tripe is yourself to suggest in your earlier post that you do not remember any play off games being in Milebush in the past. That is totally false. I saw many play off games in Milebush over the years. Last year may have been different for whatever the reasons but you are wrong to say no games. Check the facts.

Well done Villa on Title win.

It's fitting for this forum(as 50% of posts related to them) that Charlestown and Conn will meet in the play off...should be interesting....Charlestown for me.

Thought it strange that ML didn't appoint 3 officials for the Charlestown v Claremorris B match yesterday given it was must win for both...unfair on ref

I think the Mayo Leagues decision not to go by goal difference is well vindicated by yesterdays results when you see Moy rattling in 9 goals against a team that beat them twice already this year. What happened Snugboro? It didn't matter, but could have.

This is our 4th play-off in 5 years and we have not played any in milebush thus far. We played Ballyheane b in attymass last year and a couple of years ago we played Ballina Utd in foxford and on another occasion s&f b in swinford so from our point of view milebush has never been made available for any play-off's.
And its official that the play-off is down for the 13th of December. What a joke a month after the final game, how are guys going to keep interested and fit for a month. Once again the ML give little or no respect to lower divisional teams.

How should we count ourselfs lucky? Our goal difference didnt matter a monkeys to us. It should stand to the teams that are joint in points. Theres no doubt that our score lines were embarrasing but thats my point. If you snooze you lose!!!! Every other league in the world does it

Lucky because if our gaffer hadn't taken off our 2 strikers the day we played ye, we would have reached double figures. We knew the goal difference rule counts for nothing in Mayo and therefore didnt want to humiliate ye, if it had mattered then there would have been a different story.
Still its interesting to note that ye conceeded as many goals in the final 2 games (14) as ye had all season!! what happened why a total collapse?? From the tightest defence in all divisions to a free for all :confused:

The 9 against Moy Villa happened because id say everyone was hammered from the night before. game meant nothing to the boro so rule of staying in before matches was abandoned. Not saying that Moy wouldnt have scored 9 anyway, just saying you cant count the last game for the B Team as it meant nothing to them.
Dont think the rule about goal differnce should be changed because of the statement above where teams playing for nothing send out weaker teams at the end of the season. Can you imagine the arguments then?????

Don't think any team should treat last game as unimportant, when it has direct impact on outcome of Title....if Snugboro treated match like that it's very unfair on other teams still in with a chance. Poor show.

Not saying they went out to lose but when they all went out the night before for a bigger game,youd hardly expect them to be up for a match of no importance to them. no team goes out to lose, but if it means nothing how is it unfair. are you saying that your team has never treated a game with less importance to another????come on, get real.....for example, if your team had already got relegated would ye have been up for a match last sunday morning. i doubt it. just the way it happens, and again im not saying they went out to lose, just happened that way.

Yes they would be up for a match against the champions elect ...if a lot of players were missing for Snug, then thats another matter, looked like only 5 or so of normal regular team played in Moy?

Not too sure how many they were missing to be honest. just saying that in my opinion, goal difference should not come into play for the simple reason is you see these sort of results in every division every year. not saying it is right but its hard for teams to treat every game as the same when theres nothing to play for. thats just my opinion on the goal differece subject.

Well we certainly wont be doing Charlestown any favours if you catch my drift! ;)

Snugboro never had any intentions of trying to go and beat Villa ,they automatically presumed Charlestown would win also. Disgraceful statement and attitude from this club

A sarcastic comment by one follower of Snugboro, who neither attended the game or had any part in the build up, on a messageboard is neither indicative of attitude or an official statement from the club. We were hammered, it happens, get over it.

What you on about Murph. Crazy statment, there was no way in hell Snugboro could have won this game considering the conditions. They played 11 legal players to try and get a result and in doing so got hammered(the night before and on the pitch). I dont think snugboro where even thinking about how Charlestown would do. everything doesnt revolve around your club.....if the tables were reversed last sunday,would ye have had a full strenght team out? i doubt it. welll done ye made the playoffs. concentrate on that now.

At least Snugboro brought 11 players to a game which meant nothing to them.... Ballina Utd turned up in mount falcon with 8. Very poor show for important game, but in their case they were allready relegated and probably just wanted to avoid a fine :confused:.
I think everyone knew before the final round that the Charlestown v Claremorris game was the only real juicy fixture in this division and the other 2 were a given before a ball was kicked.
Any reason why the play-off is a month away??

Playoffs in a months time is a joke and the Mayo cup final as well. what were the Mayo FA thinking. How are players supposed to keep going until xmas. cracy decisions that will have to be looked at for next year, especially with the weather the way it is. looks like no game will go ahead this weekend as well so that might be further delays in any playoff match or cup final. crazy :confused:

By the time this is finished it will be only a month or two untill pre season, thats a good thing. We play football to enjoy and surely the longer we can play for the better. What would ye be at at home, sitting with a bucket of ice cream crying at a chick flick with the woman??

understand what your saying but when were waiting a month to play one game it just seems a bit too long. Not too sure how many games Charlestown and Conn have played over the last 2 months, think it could be 3(correct me if im wrong Murph) and now they have to wait another month to play again. just doesnt seem right to me.
And everyone needs a break from a tough season to recharge the batteries and spend a little time with the family :) if you didnt get a break youll only get fed up faster with football

Going by all the posts on this forum it was you that was mis-informed or maybe i was right in saying its only the elite who get to play there (Milebush) unless its cup final day. Earlier this year the Chadwicks Cup semi was originally down to be played at which ever venue was drawn from the hat first until they had a change of mind and decided on a double header in Milebush.

The teams awoke to some unexpected conditions with frost covering a large area of the ground under the shade of the stand. The teams were welcomed onto the pitch by the adoring friends which were in their tens. The first half was a cagy affair with neither teams wanting to give anything away but a definite penalty should have gone conn rangers way. A shot was clearly blocked by the defenders hand. Throughout the game pat foley continued to flash the yellows. Conn rangers were then given a KILLER BLOW when john mulligan went off injured but he was replaced by the agile dara lynch..then from a trevor warde corner the charlestown keeper failed to deal with it all be it under severe pressure and the ball ended up in the net. This however was almost the last dominance conn rangers had as charlestown piled on the pressure. Then in the 93rd minute charlestown equalised. Extra time was dominated by charlestown. the penalties were tense and conn rangers were very unluky to miss their 4th penalty following a superb save from the keeper.i think thats about it.haha
