Westport United FC

[Thunderblaster]

Great win for Westport last night, with a fantastic first half display. Owen McHale is back!

Yes indeed. Goals from Gerry, a brace from the Louisburgh Lion and Cam ensured the points. Eoghan and Horks were back. Played absolutely sexy football in the Irish monsoon conditions, which would not have suited El Matador. Dan the Man had a good game in goal. Sorry to see the Snuggie chap getting injured, hope he gets well soon. JC's pre-match pep was pretty inspirational. He told his boys that Westport were looking at them and they had fear in their eyes and this game was the spark to ignite their season. Rumour has it that there was a team bonding session before the game in Snugboro.

[Thunderblaster]

The B team are flying at the minute with another win on Sunday, beating Manulla B 2-1. Philip Keegan got a brace. Renovater would be a keen observer of all this!!:D

[Thunderblaster]

Get well soon to the legendary Sean McLoughlin, who is recovering after an operation!!

[Thunderblaster]

I have to say that if there was a dog with great footballing ability, this dog is your man!! Rumour has it that Westport United are setting up a dog team to take on Castlebar Celtic and this dog will bang in the goals. He is much more talented than Andrei Arshavin!!:D:D

Lost 3-2 tonight, friends. Kipper and Chris Ryder both netted. Had a harsh penalty against us. Yes, it was handball, but it was ball to hand. After coming back to 3-2, Stevie Ryan got red carded for a dreadful challenge on Chris Ryder, and he was out to nail, watching his actual run to make that "tackle". Ryder got stretchered off and the injury does not look good. However, I expect DK to mould Celtic into a formidable outfit and he was wished well by the Coveys.

was talkin to stevie ryan last night, believe me he didn't mean to go in that bad on the chalenge he said the ball was there but just misjudged it, it's bad when that's the only thing you can talk about when the weakest celtic team in years bet ye AGAIN that wasn't the only thing that happened in the game!!!! so leave stevie out of it he's sorry 4 what he did. so don't be sayin he was out to nail, what else did he do all nite???? have a bit of respect don't be talkin bout someone like that makin them out to look bad when you haven't got a clue if he meant it or not, he didn't end of story!!!! typical when you have to bring up something like that instead of talkin about the game, only for the celtic keeper was so bad for the 2 goals ye got it should have been 3-0

[threefivetwo]

Good luck to D.K. Good football man, for Celtic and for the County

Dessie is a great player who doesn`t have to prove himself to you lot,
but he will have the last laugh.
These comments prove your club has no class yet again, with your

[pavillion.road]

Newcomer to this site, but have been reading comments for a few months now. Im a cbar celtic man, and there seems to be very bad blood between both westport and celtic fans on this site, sometimes it goes a bit over the top, no harm in a bit of friendly banter but ye shud take it a wee bit easier.
Was at the game lastnite, good standard of football on show in tough conditions. Cannot be argued that celtic were well worth their win, looked as though they wanted it a little bit more and took their chances. Celtic looked solid throughout, even in the 2nd half when westport took the game to them, they defended resolutely and attacked with purpose on the break. Sending off was a moment of madness in an otherwise sporting game.:confused:
As regards the league, i expect the snugboro title challenge to fade away slightly after recent results, and celtic and wport to go head to head for the top spot with the two teams having to play eachother twice yet....but whos knows:)

You'd wonder how a rumour like that even starts?
Anyway.....
Westport impressed me last week without playing that well. They are well used to playing big games. Snugboro are missing something at the moment. I don't think some players appreciate the opportunity they have. Compared to last year the improvement has been 10 out of 10. Management couldn't of asked any more of them. Last week was a slip up but thats all it was. I predict a great performance on Sunday but Bangor have been one of the better sides we've played this year so I'd say a tight victory is on the cards. Its up to the players to find the drive and impetus to get some silverware this season.

Welcome to the forum Pavillion Road. Some of the Westport-Celtic stuff on here is laughable but its to be expected. Its the same in the dressing rooms from U-10 to Senior Level, always trying to get one over each other. I find its best to just let the children play.

Well said.

Three five two, you forget that Dessie has been top scorer in the super league in the past and has won player of the year awards.

The game was a tale of two dodgy keepers, and you shouldnt have got the penalty.

You are right your team is weak, we had the majority of the posession but conceded crazy goals at our end, you will drop points.

[GoodFootball]

His scoring record speaks for itself and as for crawling out of Sean Reillys pocket (He was carrying a bad injury), I think if you asked Sean Reilly whose the player he hates playing against most he would say Dessie...good players tend to respect good players!

Take your head out of your ar*e battie boy... :D

You are a very excitable young man threefivetwo.

I simply gave my opinion on Mr G.D's reign at Celtic and wished them well with their new appointment.
I stand over that opinion.

I also felt it only fair to point out that you called for a little bit of respect for players in one post, then proceeded to completly contradict your by calling D'O'M a woman in your next post.

Your posts are nothing more then embarrasing rants that reflect badly on yourself and your club.

But sure they are keepin alot of us entertained, so keep up the good work.

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but Westport most certainly are not my club!

i'd say he had a good laugh yesterday alright. 4-0????? club has no class??? i'm speaking 4 myself, not the club!!

[pavillion.road]

I know i'm only new, but have been reading over a few comments regarding celtic westport matches and from a westport perspective there always seems to be excuses! For example, penalties yee should have been given and penalties that shouldnt have been given against yee (thunder:confused:)! Then Leveller you claim that the standard of football is terrible, and celtic hoof the ball etc....also you claimed after the 2-0 chadwicks cup game that it was two poor sides on show and yee were missin loads of players!! Fair enough, but then yee lose 3-2 in the westaro cup with most those players back in the team and you go and put the result down to 2 poor goalkeepers!! When is it gonna be that celtic were better than yee?? Westport united havent beaten celtic since october 2006 in aib cup, almost 2 (TWO) years and 5 games later and celtic still seem to have the upper hand in one off games against the 'port. It cant always be referees fault, bad goalkeeping etc that settles these games....???
Still in the next couple of weeks yee have the chance to put yeer recent problems with celtic right with the sides playin twice in the league....but win or lose please accept the result instead of lookin for silly excuses!!!
Rant over...i was bored;)

[1924]

Well said Pavillion Road

If Mr. Ryan is remorseful about the "tackle" on Thursday night, then he ought to pick up the phone and contact Chris Ryder and personally apologise to him. Mr. Ryder suffered ligament injuries from it and ended up on crutches. Stevie Ryan is a good footballer but he is his own worst enemy; he is just as much as a liability as an asset.

[Thunderblaster]

i'd say he had a good laugh yesterday alright. 4-0????? club has no class??? i'm speaking 4 myself, not the club!!

There were issues on hand on Sunday, the sad passing of a great supporter for one anyways. I wasn't at the game and with all due respect, it was nowhere near our best eleven. Heard that Westport had a great spell in the first half.

[Thunderblaster]

Our U.14s drew 1-1 in an absorbing game of football. Westport deserved at least a draw if not the win.

B team is under no pressure tomorrow night against Celtic and will be up for it.

Now comes the six pointer games for the Galacticos. Must get at least four points off Celtic to keep the challenge for the league. Will be very disappointing not to win a trophy for the first time since 2001.

wow ye won a junior cup in the court house

Try to google Buckley Park and Courts Service to see what you might get.;):D

[Thunderblaster]

Then Leveller you claim that the standard of football is terrible

Celtic were the better team last Thursday but the football was very scrappy to watch.

He is a disgrace, he should have got a straight red.:(

will ya relax he didn't mean it, honestly he said it himself and he does feel bad. send me on chris number and i'll give it to stevie. send me a private message. he seriously didn't mrean it as hard as it seems to believe it!!



good b team ye have, few good players, ye put it up to celtic last night!!

c'mon lads stop with all these excuses all the time, i'm not takin a dig but seriously can ye never just take it that ye got beaten by a better team?? i heard ballina were a different class to westport, team to watch dis year from what i heard!!!

Westport were all over Ballina but didnt score, that cant be taken as an excuse.

The result aside Ballina are a far weaker side than last year and will drop points in the coming weeks. They were poor on sunday.

We should look back at all this at the end of the season.

Look what happened to them last year, and they were a good side under the Nic.

There is a long way to go in the league yet.

Your first team just managed to beat the Westport B Team last night.

[Leveller]

thats a rediculous comment to make-how else is he going to get it if he doesn't ask somebody-cop on!:confused:

[1924]

Lads,since ive been goin to football matches a lot of people have got it in for stevie,if you dont know him,then dont judge him.Most of you only see the negative side...One mistimed tackle here or there.What about all the positive things he brings to the game of soccer.I know stevie and ill be very honest hes a great footballer that brings an awful lot to the mayo league.....

[pavillion.road]

Celtic-westport game tonight will have a huge impact on where title ends up! A win for either side would be a massive result! All super league eyes will be on the outcome this fixture, with snugboro and ballina no doubt hoping for a draw. Should be good game!
Any predictions??:)

exactly if you don't know the lad don't judge him. you only know him from being on the pitch, are you saying all the westport players that are hated on the pitch are the same off the pitch?? on the pitch players would do anythin for their team to win and give it loads of heart, if he meant the tackle he would have said he did. and believe me he didn't so can ya just get over it?? c'mon lads it's bad when thats the only thing ye can say about the game!!! leave it out!!

[threefivetwo]

i have chris ryder number thanks to a certain westport fan on this, someone mature who has a bit of cop on!! i will give it to stevie and chris will be getting a call today!!! happy now leveller??

[Thunderblaster]

Goals from Cam, Lovejoy and Louisburgh Lion gave us our first win over Celtic in the league in three years:D and it was an important victory for us. We were delighted with the result and we will not settle for that. We will go all out and retain the league and on our day, we are good enough to retain it.

[Thunderblaster]

I have to say that the B team gave a great account of themselves in Celtic Park on Thursday evening in their 1-0 loss in the cup.

[threefivetwo]

stevie ryan rang chris ryder yesterday and apologised, chris said it meant a lot dat he rang and said thanks 4 ringin, so now just forget bout the whole lot ta do wit da tackle so and leave stevie out of it ya??

[GoodFootball]

wat does he evr do against any team dats decent??/ he s**ts himself against good players, what did he do good last night???? except crawling out of sean reillys pocket after the game???

Watch the game on sat evening 3-5-2? Ya MUG :D

[Thunderblaster]

There is some upcoming activity to raise funds for the Umbro Galway Cup, that the Westport United U.14 team will be partaking in. There is a table quiz in Blousers on Thursday night at 9:30 with entry at €20 per table. Also, there is a barbecue and disco in The Quays pub on Saturday 19th at 9:30pm. Tickets are on sale at €10. Please show your support.

[Leveller]

A good game of football on sat but the officials were shocking, Phil Keegans goal was a goal, and the penalty that Celtic was awarded was not a penalty. The opposition got literally all the decisions, the offsides were terrible, and I think everyone will agree with me on this. No one got booked, only KC was sent off. I wonder why?

You even make excuses when you win!!!

I find it hard to believe Ballina had only 4 chances against you and beat ye 4-0.
Have they not strengthened their squad from last year? Goalkeeper, kelly lad from sligo rovers and a couple of others?

Help me out here guys (Thunder, Westside, Mac etc), the decisions were terrible were they not?

The Ballina keeper is not great he is a bit shaky. Erris put two past him on the weekend.

By the way welcome to Foot ie!:D

[quote=threefivetwo;970117] dessie o malley is a woman, afraid of his life of sean reilly, sean had him in his pocket all night, played ye twice already and bet ye twice. looking forward to your reply xx

As i predicted dessie answered by getting the winner saturday night.
REILLY MUST HAVE A BIG HOLE IN HIS POCKET as dessie slipped out for the winner.Leveller is right the officials spent the whole match looking at the sideline instead of the match.The penalty was shoulder to shoulder,
stevie ryan should get danny fadians no. as he nearly caused another serious injury,there is nothing hard about going in over the ball on a keeper.When he was hit himself he was wailing like a school girl.
Celtic are a poor side with rugby tactics ie. boot for ground, win a throw in get deccie flynn up, long throw in and fight for the scraps,puke soccer.
Westport showed great discipline and spirit to win this match with soccer as it should be played up against 14 men.

[pavillion.road]

14 men, will u get real!! Celtic lad was clearly in a goalscoring position when he was brought down with a shoulder into his back, goal was at his mercy so a red card could easily have been given! (if referee hadnt left them at home:eek:)
Ye should also stop goin on bout d.o malley as if he is some world beater! He's a good super league striker...no more! He was a substitute on saturday for gods sake, only came on at half time, so was twice as fresh as anyone on the pitch:confused: He, like his teammates, didnt have a fairly tough game on thurs nite either, unlike all the celtic team! This was evident in celtics play, started to tire in 2nd half. Overall wport just about deserved win on the night!
