Well the season is heading towards a final day showdown for Celtic C and K&K. Winner takes all after Celtic C won in Hollister. Due to Ballyglass B not been able to field a team regardless of the K&K result against Hollister it will be a showdown on last day of season.

I expect that Div 2 A is not near finalised as the Clew Bay and Castlebar Town drew to put the promotion play offs and Super league domination to bed for Town for one more season ;) Were you playing MT? Tubestation whats your slant on the match?

Its amazing you think that the last match even counts for anything, Ballina Town B have 5 points advantage at the top, yet we are not mentioned? Its been a interesting season, with K&K impressing me the most..

Why would I mention Ballina, you are not going to be caught at this stage, you have it won!

Why do you think the last match does not count for anything? I presume you have seen the table? You do understand that a playoff happens?

[sinabhuil]

Clew Bay didnt play well at all and got 2 late goals to level the game. But the ref was a complete disgrace, it was like an non contact sport, every tackle by Clew Bay players resulted in a free for Castlebar whether Clew Bay won the ball or not. 2 of the Castlebar goals were also clearly offside. the ref wasnt the guy that was down to ref the game on the midweek papers and i think the replacement has connections with Castlebar Town which would explain his disgraceful performance

This has been going on all season. See this post in relation to C. Celtic. Usual stuff whenever a Cbar team is at home.

[irishyop]

What exactly are we lookin for in that thread? Clew Bay were at home so your point is what?

Ask FahyForever about the sending off on Sunday and how that was a Castlebar Celtic home decision, not! Even the Fahy lads were at odds as to why our lad was sent off.

[sinabhuil]

Sorry I meant when a Castlebar ref was officiating. I am sure its not a deliberate thing but it does happen that the Cbar refs protect their own teams. Also refs being on first name terms with players does not help the other teams feelings of injustice.

[irishyop]

Sorry, yes I see your point alright, hard to know on that though, yes I would agree that in SOME 50/50 decisions they may give the odd one to their hometown but then remember there are 3 teams in Castlebar, some lean towards their own more than others.

Actually come to think of it there is 1 ref who we hate to see coming even though he is life long Celtic!!

The name thing though, I see your point, all I will say there is that the longer you play the more chance is that you will knwo the refs by name and vice versa, I think you are more likely to respect their decisions the more you know them so to speak.
Even though again there are a few who this definately does not apply to!! :)

[Tube Station]

surely refs shouldnt be in charge of games that there home town are in? other teams will always feel an injustice when this happens whether the ref is bias or not

Not always true. From past experience some Cbar refs seem to go out of their way to prove they're not being biased towards you!! A ref should be impartial no matter where he or the team is from. In general the one's that can ref properly are.

[irishyop]

Castlebar provide 7 or 8 refs to the Mayo league that I can think of, big chance of one been in charge of a Castlebar team

[sinabhuil]

At the very least they should not be on first name terms with the players.

[irishyop]

Your only jealous that they don't know your name. Wear a name tag "Ny name is ..." :) for the next games. Or have a meet and greet session.

Im well aware of playoffs but Ballina havent won it yet, considering we lost to Glenisland away already this season.. It would be a good achievement in our first season to win it.. Id rather see Knock go through the playoff..

Would have to agree with you re: K & K Utd going into the playoff's. Very good quality players and they are a 1st team. It's easy see that ye are the second team of a Super League team, but I think it's more important for K & K to get out of the division given that they are a first team. If they go up, I think that both Ballina & Knock could end up doing as well as Moyvilla and Urlaur, and will defo be in the shake up for promotion next season. Both teams have given us good hidings this year, where we've only lost by the single goal in the 3 games v C'Bar. Having played against ye (Ballina) last Sunday, I think you'll agree that not being on first name terms with the ref can also be a bad thing! He was poor for both teams. In phases you could be within 10 yards of a man and get a free given against you and on other occasions a lad could get halved and no decision given at all. At 2-1 down with 15 mins or so left, we had a few chances that we didn't take but I think that at times ye were only at 60%.

[town old boy]

Granted. Some would see calling the ref by his first name a sign of disrespect or familiarity towards him. At times there are many names we would like to call referees but I suppose ref will have to do!!
As for the ref calling players by their first names I see no harm in it. If you've been playing for years with the same refs they're bound to know some players and besides Mayo's not that big!

great point!!!but lets get things right,every club should provide a couple of refs to the mayo league. it would solve a lot of problems.

[Tube Station]

yea but i guess there arent alot of people taking up refereeing cos its not an easy job! any idea when the play off between the two runners up in Div 2A & B is to be played?

[irishyop]

No idea, I asked the question there last week, Mayo League cannot confirm it!

Usually it is the week after the final league match

True we were very depleted, only had two subs, neither fit, and finished game with ten men due to 3 injuries.. The ref turned the game into a farce with some of the decisions and lack of them, he missed blatant fools on both sides.. and it wasnt a dirty game but some late challanges..

[Cloggs]

At the very least they should not be on first name terms with the players.

liam mcentee knows the names of players within the first few minutes of a game and i think that the likes of him should be commended on making the effort to do so.it makes him a lot more approachable and he doesn't talk down to you (despite the fact that he's pretty tall!!:D) during the course of a game.think hes possibly the best ref in the league although others may disagree.i think that if aref is able to explain why hes made a particular decision to you instead of giving you abuse for asking a simple question then all credit to them and they're a better ref for it.

[Cloggs]

have to agree that the lad sent off last sunday was very harshly sent off but in fairness to the fahy manager he had a chat with the ref at the end of the game and he rescinded the red card-fair play to him as many refs wouldnt have listened.and fair play to the fahy manager(no bias ment either i might add!!;))

Bias- never would have smelt bias in that post!! :)

No in fairness your lads did not have to say anything to the ref and that is great to see. No way should he have gone.
Good luck with the rest of your season. :ball:

Congrats to Erris B on capturing the Div. 2A title yesterday.

I agree with you that McEntee is probably the best ref in the league however knowing and USING the names of your own townies whilst not using the names of the opposition is wrong. It gives the impression of bias - whether it exists or not. He should not use the personal names of the players irrespective of how well he knows them. This is the only problem I have with Liam.

[irishyop]

Aye, well done and to Ballina Town B on winning 2B.
Clew Bay are in the play offs, between K&K and Celtic C for the other playoff spot

[Tube Station]

Congrats to Ballina Town B and Erris B on their promotions

[sinabhuil]

Congrats to Ballina Town B and Erris B on their promotions


Yes. Well done. Always next year for the rest of us!

[Tube Station]

is it true Knock/Kiltimagh are playin Castlebar Celtic C in the last game of the league? if so it will be like a cup final for them both, any ideas when that game is?

[irishyop]

aye, 11th November at K&Ks ground. Draw or win for K&K and they play Clew Bay, only a win for our lads will give them a playoff place.

[secerts]

k/k united v celtic c 11th nov winner plays clew bay in play off, should be interesting

[sinabhuil]

Five weeks away? Some game. Both teams play good footie. I would say that CCC have a good chance. They are harder with good tacklers. Depends on who wants it most. Castlebar do need to improve their their wing defenders as KK have very fast pacy wingers. Despite what I have said previously I think I would prefer Castlebar to progress. They are a pretty good bunch who play skilful and hard football. KK may have problems dealing with their attack and up the middle KK are suspect.
May the best team win.

[Tube Station]

i know the fixture book says Nov 11th for that game but i heard it might be brought forward

[irishyop]

Thanks Sinabhuil, its all about heart, a cup final of a game!

TS - not word of a move, there are a lot of cup games on during these 5 weeks, but it would be handy if it was!

[Footy Mad]

According to SoccerBot Knock/Kiltimagh have been deducted 3 points for fielding an unregistered player so now its Celtic C who only need the draw in the final game.

[irishyop]

Strange on that, so boots on the other foot now with K&K needing a win.

One should wonder how did the League go about taking 3pts off a club,Did they trawl or was it the registrar's, were is it written in there rules how they investigate clubs, failing this, if appealed the league could lose.

[sinabhuil]

If they fielded an illegal player they broke the rules. Period. How the league found out is irrelevant.

The Mayo League have a rule that covers all investigations no matter how long after the game was played. Once a club breaks a rule the Mayo League are entitled to investigate.

we brought on under 18 player 4 last 5mins against cross celtic when up 5-0 he wasn't registered properly with junior team, we found out his form was not sent 2 junior register so we told the league, we were told not 2 worry about it it was a mistake. received 130 euro fine and 3 points deduction few weeks ago we appealed it but no luck. pretty harsh not happy :confused:

They are very unforgiven lad unfortunately, the way it was anyway that ye were probably not going to play for a draw anyway.

Ye are not the first and will not be the last that this will happen to.

Best of luck at the "high noon" clash. Should be a cracker.

[Tube Station]

sounds pretty harsh punishment for K&K, should be a cracker of a game, maybe a motivation factor for K&K!
