Retired? Drink-related injury in T-Flynns more like! No-one ever fully retires in the mayo league. They might take a "year out", but they miss the drinking and craic, especially you my son!

We drew with Ballinrobe last Sunday 2 - 2. Good well contested game however both teams missing a few regulars. Tomorrow game v Ballyglass should be challenging dependant upon which team they put out.

good point, what players have got this year that they didn;t have last year !!
They have lost one of there best players to westport so they would be more inclined to be hoping players who want to play at the highest level will come knocking on there door Trainning has resume to tuesday and thursdays. So it depends on what others do.:ball:

Same aul same aul!!! Rule 34 has been imlplymented so the transfer window closes from 1st august to the 1st January. This means no new players what so ever. Also only 3 subs to be used in ALL competitions ( FIFA rules) no exception. And clubs will continue to pay the �250 that we paid to the league for the Eircom under 21 team but this time it will go towards the improvement of milebush which isnt such a bad thing really and all clubs agreed:cool: It was quite funny to see John Deleaney in the flesh plus he was fashionabley late!! Good Man John. O ya and Jimmy blake gave a talk omn behalf of the the refs and said this year they would tolerate abuse of Match Officals. No ****ing Way he said :D
CLUBS will amaze me just hand over �250 just like that.Do they not pay enough to the Mayo League without them looking for more hand outs.
Tell me what do the League give back in return.
Will your club members be as good to give you an increase in membership,when you ask.Try to remember its not your money its club money and its hard got.:mad:

The point being that absolutley no club objected to the proposal and the last time i looked we lived in a democracy. I appriciate that we dont get a hell of a lot back but its a fabulous facility and if your so against it why where you not there to put in your pennys worth??

U are right about one thing, I was not there only because we agreed at club level that we send 2 to the junior meeting and two others two the youths meeting the next night by the way which is where your club sliped up by sending no one.How ever thats for another day. My point being clubs to offen are putting there hands in to deep.I said it before lack of leadership from the floor, my club like all others are guilty,as you said its democracy you and other are afforded the right to vote against it, even if you lose the vote, at leased you made a stand for what you think is right. and that counts for somethink.:)

yOu are right in a way but in fairness how many teams actualy would vote against the league proposal. If a club did that they could risk being jumped on in the " long grass" Am i right?? As regards the Youths not sending a representitive we have seperate committees so i didnt realise they werent in attendance however i will put them over my lap for that :rolleyes:

i see after yesturdays game's in the connacht cup, no mayo side in the last 8 of the cup, this surely will re-open the debate on winter v's summer season!!
my guessing on it is that the 8 teams left are not the best teams,but just 8 teams in the middle of there season and "match fit"(huge difference in being fit and being up to the speed of things and being match fit) ???

O Please please please dont bring that up again GV. Look 90% of the league prefer summer soccer and our pitches cant cope with the weather its as simple as that ........ Its not going to change. Ballina Manulla ect are still on the go from last season and in the middle of serious fitness training so the argument that its fitness is not vaild chief!!

i not lookin to change back to winter, some of us did play winter back in the auld days,and i agree it can be very messy. but mayo teams are at a huge disadvantge, by not playing week in week out while competing in both the Connacht cup & F.A.i. cup.. it just a point i making, not looking to start another endless debate !!!!:)

You never seem to make any sense. How can someone get "personal" about anything on this, or any thread? As i said on your "rule 34" thread, i doubt that your christian name is actually "renovater"! Or have you grasped that concept yet? I think you take all this a bit too seriously my son! As per usual, I await the inevitable reply, full of comma's and full-stops, and of course, correct spelling. (at least i try to spell correctly, oh no... thats a bit personal, dont want to upset anyone).:rolleyes:

Anyone looking at the excellent mayo.fai.ie lately? I read that there will be no more updates on it for the moment and it is a shame. Joe Butler has put in huge work into that site and he must be congratulated on that. Would like to see it up and running again.
ya it was an excellent website. it was very handy to get up to date information on the mayo league. does it say when it'l be up and running again?

I have heard Glenisland and Ballinrobe B have gone. Are Ballyvary down to one team now?

did any clubs play any friendlies at the weekend?

Partry played Westport B in Milebush on Sunday in desperate conditions and were unlucky to only come away with a 1-1 draw.

Anyone any ideas on how the relagation/promotion issues for each division will pan out. Could be a few tight divisions.

Last i heard Ballyvary had only 3 turn up for training. I feel very Sorry for Glenisland. Its a sad state of affairs. But this is My whole point that i made some while Back. If Players dont get involved in the day to day running of their clubs they will just vanish into thin air especially Rural Clubs. This wont be the last Club to Fall victim of an every increasing self-centered society :(

I heard that Glenisland have decided to get it together and put in a team this year. I know that at their AGM they decided not to enter one but heard a few people rallies around to ensure their survival. Know they have lost a few pllyers, including one really good player to Glenhest. Not 100% sure or anything, that's just what I heard.

In Connacht Telegraph, it has in Division 2b Glenhest United - i take this to be Glenisland United - thing its a tying error or am i wrong?

Lost 2 nil to Ballyglass on Sunday. Atrocious conditions. B'glass much better than us. To be fair we were probably missing 6 of our normal starting team. We were however useless in the first half when we played with the wind.

Cant believe that Glenisland could be finished. They have their own ground, training area, dressing rooms, etc. We would kill for this. Try to keep it together lads. Also pity that Robe only fielding an A team. Where will all the B team players get their football?. Like Ballyvarry we have found training very hard to organise this year with players away at college, work, injuries, etc.

Any one on for a challenge match at the weekend?

Be interested in yours, or anyones, opinion regarding the structure of mayo league division 2. It must be very hard to motivate a team to get out of this division. A team cannot plan from season to season, because they dont know who they will be playing against in that season, as the division is split into groups a and b, and the teams you faced last season may be in the other group this season. Add this uncertainty to the number of teams pulling out of the league, and the introduction of new teams,( be it new clubs, existing clubs entering b teams, or c teams in celtics case), and its a lottery!
Even then, second place in your group will get you into a set of 2 playoffs to get promoted. So, an unlucky team, with potential, may be stuck in that division.
So whats the alternative? is it time to revert to a 10-team division 2, with the other 5/6 teams forming a division 3? These teams can easily play 3/4 rounds in the league until the league entry means a 10-team division. This "division 3" existed in the past in the Mayo league, albeit with more teams in the overall mayo league at the time( newport town, parkside celtic, ballina rovers, etc...). Surely this would be fairer on progressive division 2 teams? Welcome any thoughts. Tom Kelly take note!!:)
