Mayo Junior Soccer

[the 12 th man]

Lads,
There is a separate thread for the Super League.

[sinabhuil]

Was at Milebush yesterday. Great game between Partry and B'robe A. Good ground football. Partry looked very fit and sharp. B'robe recovered following a shaky start. Tackling fierce at times. Partry won on penalties following a 1 - 1draw. Ballinrobe B beat Cross Cetic 2 - 0 in the other match. Robe deserved to win but Cross had some good periods of possession with Alan Gibbons, Ryan Maye and John Butler especially good. Brobe had some excellent displays from Tricky Forde, Ronan Casey and McTigue in goal. I hope B'robe play their B team in the final next Sunday at 2.30 in the Green. Well ran tournament and a fitting tribute.

[swinfordfc]

Congrats to Manulla and Castlebar Celtic in Connacht Cup and also to Castlebar Celtic under 17 in reaching last four in FAI under 17 competition.

Don't forget. Mayo League AGM tomorrow night.

[renovater]

Don't forget. Mayo League AGM tomorrow night.

Will you be there. or have you another meeting to attend to.
DON'T worry clubs will not forget should they do they will end up been fined.
Now that wouldn't go down well would it.

Thunderblast will Mr Mc Hugh be there? has'nt been for number of years and yet the clubs are paying for his services.

I seriously think that the moderator should think about blocking renovater because he is not interested in discussing mayo soccer. His only aim seems to be to create arguments with nonsensical statements. This is a site to discuss football matters not vent personal grudges forever and a day against people who disagree with your point of view once. I know a few people who have said to me that they don't log in any more or not as much because of the arguments he creates. No doubt he will attack this but I think if we just ignored him and got on with the buisness of dicussing football in a sensible manner we will all be better off.

Here's looking forward to the new season. When will we see peoples predictions for the coming season. I think the AGM on tuesday will be very interesting and will attract a crowd just for the the debate and vote on the league of Ireland players issue.

Sinabhuil I know a good few of the Ballinrobe lads and they are all straight lads and I don't think they would resort to replacing B team players with A team players, which would be against the spirit of the game and the cup they are promoting, for the sake of winning a game.

[HuRya]

lada, any news from Castlebar over how the Carew Pk objection went last night?

[pixiehead]

Any one know what the story is with this new side.......... Cross or the Neale or whatever they are going to be called. whatort of set up do they have. Where they ever in the league b4???

I can understand were you are coming from ,but you see there is a thing called freedom of speech that is were i come from.
you the establisment will not tollerate freedom of speech.
i think you will always be blind to the truth.
what have i said that is not true
Ifor one dont hold grudges i have always contributed to general topics
I will always be a football person and have been all my life

Lads,

First of all clubs don't attend by free will,they would be fined for not turning up
good reason for well attented meeting and rightly so.

Clubs should always be aloud to speak freely provided they dont offend.

Mr Durkan did mention and congratulated those to part take foot.ie :ball:
so long as you don't speak on down trod the league on any of there poor formances
dont want to get carried away i could be called all sorts of things

[mossy]

Facts here please
1.The heane received a call telling them that X was illegal
2. Played game & lost
3. Decided that they were not going down this route as they felt it was decided on the day
4. I wonder how many teams are actually LEGAL on any given day.?
and
5. Nice to see that the Manulla Muinteoir was out there again on Sunday. One Sending Off but no penalties for a change, strange, they mustn't have needed it !!

[Frazer Digby]

With regard to ULAA's legality I can tell you that everything was entirely above board. The individual who called Ballyheane from Limerick last week is unfortunately very disturbed and has made similar phone calls citing spurious claims during all of our cup matches so far this year. One call was even made to the Cherryfiled chairman at half time during our fifth round match. Apologies to Ballyheane if it leaves a bad taste in the mouth but all I can say is that he is not well and has a major grudge against the club. It's embarrassing for us and unfortunately he'll probably do it again in the next round. Best of luck to the Ballyheane boys in the league.

[swinfordfc]

When is AIB Cup Final due to be played from last year?

[Ballina Town]

When will we know the fixtures

[pixiehead]

When is AIB Cup Final due to be played from last year?


It was due to be played at the end of this month but time is running out a the league will kick off in less than 3 weeks. Poor celtic they are a busy Bunch:D

[pixiehead]

When will we know the fixtures

Some of them are out already. your managers will have them. About a months worth i think. Ask nixy or steve quinn. How are them 2 getting on up there anyhow. Will you guys be the dark horses?? Maybe youll need a season or two more. Tell the two boys i said hello!!!;)

[Ballina Town]

I will let them know Pixie.All is good.It will take time id say.

[The Don]

There is no league fixtures out yet.

[swinfordfc]

First month of fixture wont be out till middle of next week.

[sinabhuil]

At final yesterday. Football not as good as semis. Very cold. Partry won 1 - 0 - pretty much against the run of play. They won from one of the few genuine attacks they had. Ballinrobe had some good periods of play. Young Ryan up front looked fast and troubled the Partry defence. Some excellent fast ball from Robe midfield left a very square looking Partry defence scrambling to cover on occassion. Young Burke in goal for Partry had an excellent game and his long kick outs caused Robe some problems. On the whole Ballinrobe B played well and were unlucky to lose.

Wow Ballinrobe A team must surely be favourites to go up to super league this year. Partry Ath. good side and the robe B team should have won. Only time will tell i guess.

[renovater]

Have you any views on the Mayo League A.G.M. which was held last week.

1.Were you happy with the meeting

2.Are any more members of clubs going to fill the seats that are vacant on the L.M.C.

3.Were you happy with the out come of the meeting

4 Finances are you happy how the league is spending your money

5. Do you not think that the accountant who is paid by the clubs should be there, rather the same old story he on holidays.

6.Do you not think that more poeple should take up postitions on the League rather give power to a chosen few.

Before you start I am only interested in your veiws.you are the members my views dont count.As I am not a member.

Is this supposedly a thread to instigate a rebellion against the aforementioned organisation? I dont think that other forumites are particularly bothered in what is going on at Mayo League level. We all rather just like to discuss football in a reasonable, plausible manner, not being treated to constant Mayo League bashing. We need to be constructive and not being destructive. Anyone else that can echo these sentiments? Time to move on from these posts.

[sinabhuil]

I did not say Robe A were poor I just said that Robe B played well. Also this is just the start of the season. It is normal that B teams will always try harder against better opposition. I also did not say that Robe B should have won I said they were unlucky to lose. Also Robe A training going well and are improving.

I hope there is a valid reason for posting the above renovater.If it descends into a flame war, the post (yours) will be removed, along with any replies...

[FahyForever]

Can someone tell me what's wrong with someone asking members of the Mayo League for their opinions on how the Mayo league AGM went? Surely the whole reason for this thread existing is to provide a platform for interested parties to discuss football in the county. If the AGM is off limits then something is wrong. Asking people about their views on the meeting seems fair enough to me. I understand how Renovator gets on people's nerves here sometimes, but he can't get grief for everything he posts!

Sinabhuil, I think Swinford was saying that the Ballinrobe A team must be good this season if the B team are performing so well. it sounded like a compliment to me rather than anything else. How is Jeremy Dee getting on with the management position?

Anyone have any ideas on how the Premier division will go this year? I wonder will Celtic B have benefited, so to speak, by the new players brought into the A team? Have any dropped down? How do people see the other teams getting on? Will Claremorris be good enough to push for promotion? Have Swinford improved after their season in the Super league? What about Conn, Achill and Killala? Westport B, like Castlebar, are incapable of going up but will still prove stern opposition I think. Glenhest, having finally fallen after a few close calls, will be looking to consolidate their position and wait for what looks like a good crop of young players to emerge before launching a bid to reach the Super league again I feel.

Discussing the AGM is not off limits.Some of the questions posed by renovater are very loaded and are worded in a very critical way as opposed to someone who was just making an enquiry.

I'm all for discussion but frankly its ridiculous the amount of posts that have to taken out of the Mayo thread just to keep it open.

Fair enough I suppose, I didn't realise that was the case. All the same, that particular post is still pretty innocuous, the only reference to anyone in particular is the league accountant who was on holidays apparently. So presumably he's more worried about writing off beach towels on his tax returns than anything Renovator has to say about him. I understand you are concerned about unfounded allegations or libel or whatever, but encouraging debate on these matters seems a positive thing to me, once nobody is personally insulted.

[The Don]

Super league only starts a Sunday week and still no fixtures, hope this is not the sign of things to come for the season. Heard we all got a mention at the AGM, any idea what was said Im sure it was all compliments. It would be nice to get the predictions league up and running again this year.
P.S Maybe its time to give the Mayo league bashing a rest for a while at least until the season restarts. I am sure plenty of new ammo will be provided in time.

Does this get any better during the season. It seems people more want to talk about meetings, registrations and Il Duce than soccer matches. Stick to the football lads - who is playing well? who is not? The league, the same as any voluntary organisation, is ran by people who love sport.

I am only interested in the views of others thought of a meeting it was brought to my attention that some poeple were not all to gether happy.
My understanding that A.G.M. is a public meeting where poeple are entitled here the views how poeple thought of a meeting. Want to make clear there is nothing
wrong in asking questions as long as the question was related to the meeting.
However if you feel that the views are of not to mentioned on this site so be it.
Want to make clear as I said I would not comment on the issues raised.
As I not a member surly as a topic other poeple have opinion on the matters whiched I raised and if not then thats find

Don I sure the fixtures will be out on time for Sunday week along as you have the fixture by Next thursday week wont you have plenty of time to organise your team.
what more important at this time have you got your players registered and sent to Gerry Sweeney. My advice to you is to get your own house in order AND Iam sure every thing will fall into place in fairness to John Durkan he has always got the job done.
Now i can under stand your concerns but did you ever think that you and other clubs have a responabilty to the league by filling those vacant seats.
So that the work load on the league Management could be halfed.
think about it.
your right lets give them abrake untill someone not happy.

Did any one see the Mayo News today. I have to say i think Edwin Mcgreals piece on the Mayo League statement was a brilliant bit of journalisim. He fought his corner , made his point very clear and left the reader with no doubt that the media are intitalled to speak the truth. the Mayo News and the Connaught give excellent Soccer coverage but it should intail warts and all. thats the fundamental reson we buy our papers.Well done Edwin son!!! Youre not afraid of no one!!

According to my sources I can tell you that Steve Carolan was at training tonight with the Celtic first team which is is a suprise and its beginning to become a joke now. In regards to the B team I have heard whispers about E.Crean, D.Ainsworth and P. Neary dropping down while D. Kilkelly has signed for the B team.

What happens when dikeys leaves ?

I have been hibernating. There aint much to discuss on the thread these days guys, i'm biding my time to make a big burst for when the league starts.
I see our champion of free spech renovater has had his wings clipped a few times, no harm at all.

See you on March 10th when it'll all kick off again on foot.ie.

To echo TB's sentiments (which does not happen very often) can we try and keep the thread to football matters, this business with the MAFl is getting really really zzzzzzzzzz........................

What i want to know is why the hell the Board at celtic havent done anything about it already. Talk of Eircom league is just bull. Ive followed the league of ireland fro 12 years now and know its ins and outs. there isnt a hope that celtic could survive in it both on the field and financially. So what the hell are the up to and why wont the committee make a club ruling. SCARED?? MAYBE???:eek:

Pixie its very hard to understand what is going on.For start if some one from Celtic would come on and give us a feed back as to what there structures are then we would all be enlightened
Now I could make a wild guess and please dont shoot the messenger
I have reason to believe that the funding of these players are coming from local business in Castlebar another words they are covering there cost.will say I sponsor a player for €500.00 to help pay is expensesand so on.
Regards to there board well there one or two people who are in control and much that goes on goes through them.the rest agrees.
they brought in a manager who wants to win at all cost
the danger signs are,there is a group of others who are not happy what is going on they dont like the idea of these exports coming in when they one of the best under age structures around.
they see this as the being and the end of there youths ever playing for Celtic as junior players unless they settle for B or C team status or move to other local clubs.
In the good sense of football let hope they see the light before it's to late.

I see the divisions have been published in the Connacht Telegraph. Now we know who is playing in what division does anyone have opinions on how teams will fare and predictions for the season ahead.
Interesting to see Urlaur have come back into the fold. I think with a new impetus they should be too strong for division 2. What is the story with Ballina Utd, sad to see any club drop out.
Will Claremorris continue as they finished last season? Have Ballinrobe enough with their new manager to push for the holy grail of the super league?
I see Charlestown continuing with their impressive form towards the end of last season and pushing for the Premier division.
Will Moyvilla finally make it out of division 2? They are a stong team on their day and a progressive club who deserve to step up.

Moy villa deserve to step up. Mayo GAA showed that no body DESERVES anything in sport - you just have to do it. You earn it you dont get it for nothing.

The urlaur quest is a good one but that depends which team Michael Carroll wants.
Does he want the import team who from time to time let him down or does he want the local players can he comtinue to get the best out of them.
its all up in the air but one thing is for sure he is in the lower league and that should give him incouragementto bounce back.good luck Urlaur.

Sad to see ballina Utd decide to hang up there boots after 13 years.
problem is its hard to make an impact with all the ballina teams competing for same players.
what it will do is make the other Ballina teams stronger.
And hopefully the officers of B.utd may get involved with other teams

[leftoutside]

Any fixtures out for the new season yet ? When will it start ? anyone play any friendlies today ? Does anyone know anything about Mayo soccer out there ?

[Closed Account]

[leftoutside]
