Lad!!!!! Chris Rowland is a decent player but its harsh to say dat gerry is useless!!!! Chris Rowland is definately not the best young player in the league........on his day gerry gaughan can be a fine player!! Give him a break!!!

Fallon lad is a good young lad...Chris Rowland is not as good as gerry gaughan but is alot fitter!!

I think chris rowland is a great player. ger gaughan is slow and unfit and his passing is terrible. i played against him and he is useless.

would you go away out of that and get back to the real world!rowland isn't anywhere near the player that gaughan is.granted gaughan doesn't look the fittest but did he fade against ballina in the cup semi final last week?nope!how often have you seen rowland dictate matches in that manner?

chris is a good player very quick and puts in a serious amount of effort. gerry is a good player 2 at times when he wants.good feet, goodf passer of the ball. you can't compare these 2 as they play in different positions. i wouldn't say gerry is the best young player in the league though, look at all the young lads at celtic who are doing the business week in wekk out against stronger and better players!!! tom king playing great stuff, ronan o boyle back, shane smyth, peter dravins, danny fallon,eoin torpey who was far better than gerry in celtic when celtic b team beat s'n'f this year,not putting gerry down i know him well and he is quality at times!! the list goes on........ nevjo does gerry know you're writin dis???;)

ya scahill and gavin prob are the best centre mids but from watching gaughan play he's a quality player, he has strenght and can give a quality pass. he has played well beside alan mcdonnell all year. would think that DK's mind would have been changed from watching the semi final on sunday. in my opinion i think he's be well able for the mayo side, himself and paul fitzpatrick.

is everyone forgetting about dave horkan?? i'd have him on any oscar traynor team. quality player all round!! don't think that dec will pick him though for not showing up for a game last year but definitely should be on the team!!!

I think you are from the same club as meself!!!! sad sad
im only messin! i know him well jus takin the pi$$ out of him!
steven ryan is a good player on his day. alan mac the fittest player in all tnhe leagues, never stops going. has to be on oscar traynor panel this year!

gaughan is good...not great! horkan and gavin are the best centre mids in mayo. The best young players would have to be tom king, curry lad from snug who has scored loads, saw him in the cup against achill last week and was impressive and young lavelle lad from ballina who easily has 20 league goals this season. Stop favouring your own clubs and give honest opinions.

paul fitz has scored 29 goals in 21 games.. hes only 21, still young. on a more important subject snf or snugboro for the mayo cup? westport for the superleague?? all they needed was a point against manulla. wat club you from gabbo?

Don't no the lad Gaughan, But I would be sure is a fine footballer. As for Chris Rowland I can speak volumes having seen him Play for Mayo U.18 on many occasions he was credit to his club and an outstanding player, who is honest and gives you everything.

I live just outside castlebar. Watch a lot of superleague games whenever i can but im a celtic man. Lavelle is only 18 i believe, curry is a bit older. Paul fitz has been good but thats been in the premier, that may count against him? are you from foxford nevjo?

theres a big difference between the premier and the super league, a massive difference just look at all the teams who have came up and how have they done since??? any decent team can win the premier!!!! sorry robben :(

no straide/ballyvary man, ya i know its the premier but its still a good scoring record. he has shown he can do it against superleague teams too. i think threefivetwo is very for celtic players and would want to start thinkin outside the club. castlebar has a massive selection of players to choose from and alot of outsiders go there too. its easy to pick a list of players from a big club.

Fair point Nevjo, bear in mind that the last man who scored that many goals in the Mayo Premier league bypassed the superleague altogether and went straight to the League of Ireland! And is still scoring goals there when a lot of his team-mates have been sold or released! The very best players in the Premier would get into almost any superleague side in my opinion. Top 15-20 anyway.

There is a big difference 3-5-2 i agree, but we have proven this year we are well able to no just compete with superleague teams but beat them,
erris down in erris, ballina in the cup im sure if we beat snugboro in the final it'l will no doubt be a huge boost for our confidence in superleague next year.
Paul fits has scored against these superleague teams and im sure he'l be banging them in again next year in the superleague..

Paul fits got 2 goals against ballina a team in the top half of the superleague?? was that one of the games you possibly might have missed??
He also scored agains erris in the cup, so if its the case of he can only score against premer division teams thats a load of crap.. he has proven against 2 very good super league teams...and the lad has nothing to prove in terms of scoring goals against any opposition!!

knowing paul fitz he may not even be playing for s+f in the superleague next season. have to agree that he has a bit to do yet before you can say he has nothing to prove. remember hes had spells with celtic, manulla and s+f in the past and although he has talent he certainly isn't proven!

So you are finally admitting that your club were paying him "expenses" when he was playing for (or with) you.

I am gathering this from the fact that you openly admit his love for the greenbacks.:D

fitzy will definitely be with snf next year its his home club and seems to be playing better for them than he was for other teams,it's obviously where his heart lies!! he'll get more goals than a lot of other strikers in the league next year!! have a lok at seanie welsh, he has played for a few teams but n ow he's back with his home team and playing well and winning things, he was always snf at heart........:L :L

lads...is paul yere life? is that all ye ever think about? Im not denying that hes a good player, however, i think ye are getting a bit carried away. Im not putting him down in any way whatsoever but next year will be a good test for him. Hes only 21 like ye said...how many clubs has he had? He doesnt seem to settle down with clubs does he. He hasnt done great with superleague teams before, maybe that will change next year. Anyway, moving on, how do ye think ye will do in the cup final?

Why ya leave S & F in the begining and why did fitzie leave? When times were bad ye jumped ship, now it seems ye are back on the band wagon!!

The problem is there are too many boys around Castlebar that if they aren't flavour of the month with the manager, or winning anything they jump ship. Very few stay true to their club...if Castlebar was Glasgow ye boys would be dead long ago...you dont see that happening with clubs in the Westport area :D OFTEN

played underage up untill 17 s'nf but then the majority of players choose the gaa over soccer, aidan kilcoyne, trevor howley,etc all the moy davitts lads/& knockmore lads so going to school in castlebar at the time and wanting to play soccer wouldnt any person do the exaxt same??? and i dont regret it at all getting experience playing junior soccer, great to be back at S'nF with a very young team comming through, not a case of jumping ship just down to wanting to play soccer, simple as,

Your a fahy man obviously and fair play to you for been a loyal player who has stayed put, but would you not like to experience playing in the super league i know ye have an application in for yer pitch well something i think cloggs said and i hope ye get it, ye deserve it but if ye have no facilities wont that mean ye cannot go up?? mabye im wrong but im sure achill were denied couple seasons back, my point been many players jump ship to play higher standad be it eircom league, or super league its all good and well been loyal but you'd wanna look back with memories of big occasions, testing yourself against the better teams and players, playing on better pitches against better palyers ( with no disrespect ) thats just my opinion to answer your question on loyalities and players moving to different clubs for different reasons.

If we qualify to go up, we will play in the super league, we wont be playing on the astro but maybe pitch sharing until we get our own pitch. We have to get over the line first anyway.

Thought always crosses your mind about playing in the super league but if everyone thought like that then Fahy wouldn't exist and Westport United would have a D team!

See your point about higher standard of football and its easier to change teams in and around Castlebar because everyone is doing it. A few of us used to play with Westport under age so maybe you could say pot-kettle-black :D

Hi
first of all I think you would more than lightly hold your own in the Super League, as your club were relegated mainly because a number of your best players jumped ship.However you seem to have got it together this year, having more than lightly go up as champions. Having taken a few scalps in cup runs. This is normal when a team is doing well mainly due to confidence.
However its a different matter when you compete with the best every week, as every game is a cup final. Next year you will find players will not be relaxed as they where this year. there will be pressure and when you lose a game you will then find out the true character of the player as to know weather he has the stomach for it.
Thou I think your club would want to see whats coming thought at under age.
There are clubs in the super league who are old dogs for the road others will be in contention to win it and others who will fight to stay there which group do you think you come under.

Do you always drink before posting to this?

I think S & F will challenge celtic and westport next year. Give them a chance, they have beaten what they have been put up against this year. They didn't play Westport or Celtic but thats because ye bummed out of the mayo cup early ;)

Nobody is saying they are better than Westport, or bigging them up more than they deserve so calm down with the envy

I am afraid you are slightly out of order here by associating a pub in the Heane with comments from Reno. The fact is that Reno has resigned from all Ballyheane activities and although reluctant the club excepted his decision.
Therefore please address his views without reference to the Heane :D

I think Robben is just doing a bit of gentle leg-pulling, rather than deliberately causing trouble. Reno may have the spelling of a dsylexic mushroom but he is well able to stick up for himself and give as good as he gets. Robben doesn�t actually mention your club so I wouldn�t get too upset. As he mentioned himself, the old winking face is supposed to represent a bit of craic.

In terms of the views though, I�m firmly of the opinion that S+F will do well next year. We have spent the last 3 years or so in the Premier division and they are miles ahead of everyone we�ve played there. I fancy them for a definite top four finish with the chance of even higer. � hope they win the cup final too, be nice to see a premier division team win it.
