If Bangor and Swinford finished 1-2 in the Premier and say, Celtic were to finish second from bottom in the Super do you really think they would send them down now???? Not likely.[/QUOTE]

Think they would have to! Why wouldnt they in that case?
It does seem that only 1 will go down if the present set of circumstances remain till the end of the season. Seems ironic that if celtic were to end up 2nd bottom (real possibility) that westport b winning the prem div will keep them up!!! strange times indeed gentlemen!!!!:)

Your comments are reasonable, and I do not wish to be standing up for the Mayo League but I think you have missed something at the meetings or discussions that took place over the past 12 months. Maybe you did not attend the meetings, and maybe the information given out has not been passed on to you correctly. You are certainly missing out on what the clubs are are saying to suggest that people are are waiting to see what happens.

[sinabhuil]

At the league meeting not one person spoke against the proposal to reduce the leagues to 8 teams. Whats happening here is the usual 'we must find something to talk about'. Despite having some reservations about their fining and other punishments the Mayo League is very well ran. Just look at the facilities, Milebush, Celtic Park, Manulla, Snugboro, Erris, Ballina, Ballyheane,.. Try to praise an odd time lads. Very tiring when you are in authority (voluntarily) and you get keep getting knocked. Well done Bestie.

Would a reserve league not create it's own problems too? There are currently 14 reserve teams in the league (including the only c team, Westport. Wherever Hardcore got 3 I don't know), and establishing a 13-14 team league would prove problematic in terms of the season's length, especially considering they think a ten-team league is too much.

What's the major malfunction here? Why fix what's not broken? The rules should be clear; two teams up and two down as long as they are not going into a division where the club have another team. That's only fair. The third team from bottom playing the third from top is just ****ing around, especially if the 'third team from top' is seventh in the league. If you don't finish in the top two then forget about promotion.. I know that that would mean neither Kilmore or Fahy would have gone up last time, but i think that's the way it should have been done personally.

That's just my opinion, what do other people think? I know I'm repeating myself, but the Mayo league waiting to see what happens and then deciding is a total and utter disgrace and shows blatant disrespect for the clubs involved. If Bangor and Swinford finished 1-2 in the Premier and say, Celtic were to finish second from bottom in the Super do you really think they would send them down now???? Not likely.

Not broken?? the SL and premier are in total chaos the last number of years and last year it reached rock bottom. No where in the world does this crap go on where 6 & 7th placed teams stand a chance of playing top flight at their particular level.

12 "B" teams participated this year, and the word from several lower divisions is that there could be up to 4 withdrawls for next season. None of the B teams will ever play in the SL and that is a fact and therefore they are hampering other sides from ever getting to the top flight. Could you imagine a senario where Arsenal reserves played in the Championship along with liverpool Chelsea and Man utd???? how would any other teams be even considered for the top flight.

Partry are a decent side who would be in the mix if there was a proper structure and Bangor Hibs had a crack at it also but it is very plain to see that "B" teams in the Premier are only holding up progress and until they are entered into their own league will this mess be sorted.

Then we could look at having the SL reduced to 8 teams and and make it more interesting for all proper football clubs not reserve teams. We have listened about B sides as feeder sides for the A squad but this is still the case in a reserve league. What is the ambittion of a B player??? surley it cannot be to win the premier league and thats all. It would also resolve the whole A player playing B. It wouldnt effect results for the genuine Clubs if they were doing it against each other and therefore eliminate that factor from our league.

That's fair enough Bestie, and I readily admit I havn't been to any meetings this year and so may have missed out on whats been happening in them. Why though, does nobody still have any idea of what's going on?? Within the clubs or on here? You yourself suggest the information is out there but you still don't go as far as divulging it yourself. I would be more than happy for you to clear this whole mess up with solid facts and then deride us for talking when we should be listening. I just have a feeling it's not that simple...

[Footy Mad]

As far as I can see the Mayo League have confirmed that this season it will be two up and two down if two Non B-Teams finish in top 2 positions in the Premier Division and if its 1 Non B team and 1 B Team in the top 2 of the Premier Division it will be one up and one down which looks the likely outcome at this present time.

have to say that the above statement is a complete paradox in my opinion.you say that the b teams are hampering all the other teams from getting promoted.if these teams are indeed good enough to be playing in the top flight how are they supposed to be able to cope against the likes of westports first team if they can't even beat the second string outfit?!and then try and survive in an 8 team super league?:confused:

You are cementing my argument Cloggs, Kilmore should never have been promoted and the SL should be reduced to 8 teams so the better teams in mayo play in the top flight and stop this shambolic farce of promoting teams that could have been relegated. Plus you asked about not beating Westports 2nd string?? from reading the Premier thread it would appear that several 1st team players have been lining out for the B side. A reserve league would finish with all this rubbish once and for all.

We need proper structure in Mayo and all promotion/relegation issues clear and transparent right from the start. As it stands 1 up 1 down or possibly 2 but nothing pointed out clearly. We are dealing with what if's and maybe's every season. What If celtic A were in the bottom 2 of the SL, What if a B side is second in the premier, Maybe 1 team promoted and 1 relegated. These should be simple answers without the pathetic senario we have year in year out in the Mayo League, and then meaningless arguments on fourms like this would be a thing of the past. A reserve league is the only way forward and an 8 team Super League with every other division as it is with a 10 team structure. Then its simple to manage with promotion/relegation as it is in every league in the World. I would like to put this motion to a Vote and see what all other Mayo League posters on this site feel.

Ok, I vote No. I have yet to hear one single valid argument for the reduction of the Super League to a eight-team format. Why not make it five teams? Why not just two? It's nonsense...

Maybe you mean several B team players have been playing for the 1st team?

[yellowmonkey]

I vote YES to a reserve league. But im not in Favour of a ten team super league. :)

[slab11]

A reserve league would resolve a lot of messing and question marks over who is going up and who is going down!
It should happen because it makes so much sense!!!

Mayo Reserve league 2010
Westport
Iorrais
Celtic
Manulla
Ballyheane
Snugboro
Claremorris
(These are currently the highest ranking B teams)

The 8th place would be made up by either S+F or Swinford. If their respective league positions remain the same there would be a play off.
Meanwhile Crossmolina, K+K utd, Bangor and Ballina town(??) would form a bigger divison 2. The Reserve league would have no promotion but if a B side finishes top of the first division they would be promoted to the reserve league and a reserve league team demoted to the first. That way no B sides could effect the Premier divison. NON B sides could then get promoted and relegated from the respective leagues. If a B team finishes in the top 2 the 3rd place would not go up. However with that B team now promoted you have a better chance next year with that team gone . Not like the current situation
Confused? :D
To avoid B teams at the bottom getting complacent a club could be thrown out the following season if games werent played in required "Fashion"

At least its a proposal. Still dont like the idea of any reserve teams in main stream league competition as it can lead to A players playing B. But i like your structure and the idea of promotion/relegation to keep it more interesting. Would it not be better 2 divisions of 6 each and play each other 3 times and still have promotion/relegation between them?? Also it would not be fair on division 2 teams that a relegated b side get automatic entry into division 1.

Reserve league is a simple concept made very complicated by above. Simple idea is Reserve A and B league, 12 teams = 2 groups of six teams. Open draw or by draw by north/south mayo at begining of season. Top 2 of both divisions play in reserve semi-final and final at the end to give them something to play for. Also Reserve League Cup competition like Westaro cup.

To sort out current divisions then, squash upwards removing the B teams. Could be division 2 = 8 teams, division 1 = 10 teams, premier = 10 teams and Super = 10 teams.

Simple idea could be put across to clubs easily in a ten minute presentation or 1 page letter. What do people think?

As i was saying except that i think that there is a massive gulf at the moment in the SL and maybe it should be reduced to 8 teams?? But i think that 90% of the people would be in favour of a reserve league and maybe its time a club by club pole was conducted and therefore the ML could get to hear what players on the ground feel.

It is the only way forward and any other suggestions are only papering over the cracks and avoiding the only true solution to a pathetic problem. Glad to hear so much support on here for a reserve league

reserve league would be a joke. Used to be one and it was a shambles. no restiction on players and if one team about to win it, their first team played all reserve games, and reserves played first team games. ask any ML official at the time.
What happens in every other western league? As far as i know galway dont have a reserve league. B teams play at whatever level they are at, and its up to every club to beat another clubs second team to get to the top. If you cant do that, you dont deserve to be in the top division.
Very easy for a club to say that B teams are holding up the "progress" of other clubs first team - This is simply a reality that that club is not good enough to compete at the top table and ends All other arguments, no matter how you dress it up.:ball:

Spot on. If A teams cannot beat a clubs B team who's fault is it. Westport have three competitive teams from a small pick. The reason for their susccess is a good youth set up and hard work. Its up to other clubs to stop giving out and step up to the mark. Its all about putting in the hard work at youth level. If you get rid of the B teams you are only papering over the cracks.

Can someone please explain how reducing the super League to eight teams is going to either improve it or address the 'massive gulf'? I genuinely cannot understand the rationale, for want of a better word, behind this idea. I presume the 'massive gulf' you are referring to is within the Super league itself? Reducing the size of the league is unlikely to change this at all. What it will do, however, is increase the gulf between the Super league and the other divisions, making it even more difficult for teams to break into, and harder to stay in. It also dicks around with the sizes of the other divisions. I personally find the proposal incomprehensible, regardless to how it might affect Fahy.

I dont think thats a fair comment. There are a good few clubs who have people working tirelessley on a voluntary basis coaching youngsters. The bigger clubs will attract the better players who want to win trophys. Kids want to play for clubs who win trophys. Coaches at the smaller clubs have to make do with the resourses they have.

well what, in your opinion, is the point in a reserve team suceeding in the premier division and having no where to go??? So what if A players play in the reserve league every reserve team can do the same thing and they are only effecting themselves

Do you think that the situation we have is acceptable because if you do you are in the very small minority. And dont even bother suggesting promoting B sides because that will never ever be accepted. Reserve league is the only way forward and this was the opinion of the majority of clubs at the ML think tank organised in the Welcome Inn last year.


Going on your format Fahy Rovers nor Kilmore should be in the SL either.:rolleyes:

[FahyForever]

Any word on the Oscar Traynor squad lads? Apart from the manager that is. How many players are called to the initial trials and when is it reduced? What would your first eleven/sixteen be? Do you think Mayo have any chance? Can anybody be bothered? I was reading the Limerick thread on it and they say some players cant be bothered with it, but they still have loads of pages devoted to it! Are teams still encouraged to send a few of their best players to the trials? Any nominations for candidates outside the Super League?

Lot's of questions I know, but thought I'd gauge people's opinions on it as a talking point.

to be honest i personally don't have a problem with the b teams playing in whatever division they deserve to be playing in.if the team is good enough then why not have them playing in the premier division?afterall are the b teams not there to bring on players and get them to play in the first team?westport b are a prime example,presumably the young lads are chomping at the bit to get into the first team and would surely be far more prepared to make the step up to the super league if they've been playing in the premier than they would playing in a reserve league against arguably inferior players to the premier division?and i don't mean that as a slight on any player/club currently plying their trade in the lower league.

also Goggins from fahy, but politics will prevail and thats why they never do any good!

What are peoples views on the new rules for clubs for next season and the 7 point rule for Super League clubs. Scoreboards and press boxes........ wtf??
They dont even Police the pitches properly at the begining of the season and now they are looking for all these other things.... would it not make sense to impliment the original rules? Take a look at facilities like Holister,Clew bay, Urlaur to name a few..... and then other clubs will be expected to up the ante??? This is a joke:confused:

As we have discussed here before, the lunatics are firmly in charge of the asylum. Its begs belief to understand where they are coming from with the expense this is going to put on clubs. A scoreboard for fans who cant count between 1 & 5 and a press box for the invisible sports writers.

I think you are absolutely correct. It is sheer madness putting a cost on clubs to provide a scoreboard. I do agree that clubs could try and provide some kind of shelter for their own supporters and the press (if thethe press are at the match). The Mayo League showed great initiative in the past by setting high standards for all the clubs but this has gone overboard and is not necessary. They need to get back to basics and get the important things right. I do not think it should be compulsory.

I agree with you that these things are not required in local football. I do not know where they are coming from either. I think it is absolute madness. Anyway on a more important subject who is going to win the cup final between Swinford and Manulla. Have Swinford any chance. They appear to have done well in the league this season.
