Mayo Premier Division 2007

[FahyForever]

fahy your not showing much faith in your own side against swinford at all??although admitedly fahy always seem to struggle to get anything out of swinford especially in swinford.think i'm letting my heart rule my head over my prediction for the match and hoping for a draw!!:o

I know. It's bad form alright! Not sure we ever bet Swinford did we? Plenty of draws anyway. And a good few losses! Missing players is a big problem for us; the spine of the team is gone with James Wright the keeper and last year's player of the year away, Joe keane at centre-half injured, Darren Creaby, the midfielder who played U21 for Mayo last year away and Dave Feehan, top scorer, apparently committed to gaelic. Looks like I'm going to have to lend some much-needed experience to the side eh? With myself and new, lightening-fast signing Mickey "Blue Eyes" Cawley we may just pull off a few surprises! Or just pull a few hamstrings..

true i've heard quite a lot about the mickey 'blue eyes' cawley alright.apparantly he's showing quite well in training according to reports (although i think that most of these reports are coming from the man himself!! ;) )and dont think fahy have ever beaten swinford in any game so a draw would be a decent result if we can get it!!what do think swinford??surely yee must be delighted and pretty confident of getting all three points on sunday?was there many of the first team playing when we played yee in the freindly a couple of weeks back?thought i recognised a few faces

what match was that? if your talking about the b team - them lads are playing with the b team at start of season. with regard to the a team this weekend - it be a tough game as it is always when your playing fahy! - should be a good match.

[Ron Bergundy]

Achill vs banger = home win
ballyglass vs S&F = Away win
Celtic B vs Port B = Home win
Manulla B vs Ballinrobe=home win
Swinford vs fahy = home win

the match i'm talking about was against the b team in milebush a few weeks back.surely nigel sweeney amonst a few others is fit for the first team in swinford??i agree that the game will indeed be a tough one in swinford tomorrow at high noon.may the best team win(hopefully it will be the team in black and white!!):D

Well the A team won 2-1 against Fahy and the B team won as well with Nigel Sweeney scoring a goal! :D

ballyglass vs S&F = ballyglass
Celtic B vs Port B = celtic b
Manulla B vs Ballinrobe= manulla b
Swinford vs fahy = draw

think i was a wee bit out with ALL of my predictions!just as well that i didn't have any money on any of them!!:D

[Cloggs]

Well the A team won 2-1 against Fahy and the B team won as well with Nigel Sweeney scoring a goal! :D

yeah fair play to yee.credit where credits due.felt we were a little hard done by for the second goal as there was a decidedly dodgy offside decision that didn't go our.felt that we probably merited a draw over the course of the game but thats football for ya!no sour grapes. ;)

did i hear that fahy goal never cross the line - any truth in it? :D

[Cloggs]

did i hear that fahy goal never cross the line - any truth in it? :D

not at all!!it was clearly at the very least a centimetre or two over the line!i'll hold my hands up and say that the ref could maybe have been making up for the offside goal-slightly fortuitous that he gave it maybe (but fully deserved nonetheless!:D )but i may have been looking at the game through slightly tainted black and white glasses :cool:

[r.rover]

did i hear that fahy goal never cross the line - any truth in it? :D

no swinford, i was playin up front for fahy and trust me it did cross the line alrite!! not just sayin that!!!

[Mad Max]

It was never over the line. Clean sheet for swinford!!

[Ranger]

With the demise of the Mayo/Fai website, any chance of clubs putting up a report of their games on here. Swinford have a good report of their B fixture on their site. Nothing for the A team fixture though. Maybe the Mayo leage should hold a workshop for all club P.R.O's ( and it's own for that matter!!)

bangor v manulla (manulla)
fahy v achill (fahy)
s+f v swinford (s+f)
westport b v ballyglass (westport)
banker s+f

[juan pablo]

ballinrobe beat celtic 'b' by 3 goals to 2 this evening, cracking game, shane ryan scored 2 and shane donnellan scored the other goal for robe, good start for the robe,

any other premier division scores??

does anyone know what the story is with updating soccerbot??

[theboy]

Ballinrobe 3-2 celtic B
Banger 4-1 manulla B
Fahy 1-1 Achill
S&F 5-3 Swinford
Westport 5- 3 ballyglass

[theboy]

good wins for banger, s&f and westport. heard s&f were 5-0 with about 15min left. way to strong for swinford but lost about 3 players as the game went on through injury. good 3 points for robe, they could push alot of teams this year.

bangor are going nicely already with two pretty big wins-impressive win especially down in achill.played achill at the weekend and there was two reporters from the local press there.unfortunately the game was dire so hope that they dont judge the entire league on that particular outing!
anyone got any idea of how a league table might be shaping up at this early stage?

[FahyForever]

Has anyone got the complete fixtures yet? Is next week a cup match or league? Anyone in the know regarding Soccerbot? Are we going to start giving points for the predictions? Could there be any more questions??

Agree with Cloggs, for all my giving out about media, Shakespeare would struggle to write a single interesting line about Fahy V Achill, which was as dire a game as I have ever seen. Hope our team are not punished in the press for my rants, which are only my opinions, not the club's! How do people see the league going after the first two matches? i think Bangor might do well, not just because of their position, but at least one team who comes up seemd to carry that impetus into the following year. (See Claremorris last year)
