that is total rubbish reno.you obviously dont know westport utd.utd set up a finance committe and askd its advice on the paying of a manager to which the fin. com. said it was not affordable at 400 euro a wk plus van and phone!the chairman on hearing this walkd out with two other committe members because they wanted the galway man over the 2 westport men.yet 2 of those men sat on the interview board that was 2 hire the same man !the same manager that was told by the third walkout man a week previous that the job was his and the interviews were 2 keep "people" happy!so dont talk to me about serving on committes or giving up free time to help your club when this kind of dictatorship goes on !:mad:
Sorry quay Heart you have lost me with your comments. I only surgested you dont air your comments publicly.If I comment on what poeple have said then thats a differant matter.
I am awear of the finance Comm, and also tom walking out, but if the dirt sticks its hard to shift it.I am not concerned if you pay a manager, that the business of Westport, its only a problem when they the club are in self denial

Ans.1. We'll know after MAFL AGM about league.

Ans.2. That question borders between confidence and arrogance. If Celtic field kids this year, we are in for a scrap for the title. We have a very strong starting XI but when you start looking at the bench when you got injuries, it is a bit more onerous. Ask anyone that saw the Heatmerchants game.:eek: If we win the league, I'm afraid it won't be a canter.

Ans.3. Lovejoy should be coming into pre season training when it resumes.

i believe the com. had a bit of a licking up session

Everyone that was out that night thought it was a great night. No negative vibes at all. The actual quote above is a slur on the committee of Westport United and it got highlighted on local press. I had no problem in principle with the night in question.....maybe an issue of cost.....but if people were happy out, then there isn't a problem.

Ok, enlighten me Reno - a lot of people might view it but you can read without actually learning anything (ten years in second class taught me that) - especially when there's a lot of drivel (you can get bogged down in it) - not talking about anyone in particular ........

I'm sure that even the Mayo FA and FAI get constant updates from all threads - sort of like an NSA 'chatter' monitoring system. Give me a break will ya? If anyone took notice of it surely they'd use their untouchable power to subvert the free speech we are enjoying... or am I paranoid?

Look take out of it what you like we dont need to make a educated quess that everything that is written will teach you anything ,but to some poeple like to let a bit of steam off, and see this as the site to do it. But its nice to know you are reading it anyway.
I for by part only comment what I think needs answer to, appart from the odd question I would have raised .
So all I can say keep on reading, lets not insult poeple even if there veiw is drivel,make your point and move on.

What are the Salthill Devon team like. I know that it would not be a great Westport U-18 team (two defeats to Celtic U-18 B)compared to some of the past teams. Was young Tropey playing, a good player.Any of the U-18's playing with the Senior team for the Connacht Cup.

How will this improve the Westport Youths. You can not make a silk purse out off a sow's ear. I see noting wrong with the coaching methods or playing style of the Utd youth teams. If you don't have the players all the coaching in the world will not make them world beaters. Yes I agree you need to have the right coaching standards but I presume these are already in place.

Salthill were sharper than Westport and had a bit more savvy. Westport grafted well, working very hard, but the finess wouldn't be great. There are a couple of good players but some technically weak players on the squad. I wouldn't think that Salthill would be as good as Celtic's U.18s. Mr. Torpey did play, starting off up front before being brought back to midfield at half time. None of that squad played against Heatmerchants.

Passing of information and ideas onto the delegation at the meeting. Improve awareness with people involved as to what is happening in the world of development. Westport United are taking on the NIB FAI Summer Camp in August and the meeting was mainly based on that.

Coaching methods in the club is a mixture of old school and up to date methods, depending on the philosophy of each coach. Playing style is okay; the best style being with the U.16s, particularly when John Moran was involved.

Players are going to have their limits in terms of progression anyway. Progressive coaching would make the players better than if they got no coaching.

The right coaching standards are slowly coming onstream.

Wishing the Youths the best of luck in their new strategy. It would be great if clubs like Ballina, Westport, Ballinrobe, & K&K could compete with Celtic at all age groups not just at one or two. Claremorris are a good example of the way forward. It is not good for Mayo Youth football if the only team to beat is Celtic to win a title. Celtic could win all the leagues in 2006 (have already won U-12, U-14 & U-16) They have also achieved this in 2003.It would be great to have 3 or 4 teams competing in each league and it might stop players wanting to come to Celtic to win trophies.

Members of the committee and supporters were very angry at what was written on foot.ie and leaks out of meetings. It was also proposed that any future leak from the club, members are asked to go to committee members to name and shame and the offender will face disciplinary hearings.

The motion was to set up a formal underage sub-committee to administer and develop the game in Westport with representatives on the main committee and two from the sub-committee would represent the club at delegates meetings.

Now you can see where the club is coming from. Westport United has no problems dealing with constructive and coherent criticism. There is free speech and there is a legal remit to what is free speech. Westport United doesn't pursue a policy of supression of opinion but Westport United will act if they feel that the best interests of the club are threatened by innuendo.
