Just wanted to say well done to Ballina Town yesterday in the FAI Junior Cup after their vist to Ballyvary yesterday. I have to say they looked very very good and I expect to see therm really put it up to Castlebar Celtic and Westport Utd next season. We were no match for them and they are quick, sharp and very very organised.Small wonder really, it was so obvious they were well drilled and in tune with one anothers movement.Quote:

I believe that the MAFL cracked the whip on the disciplinary issues concerning the recent AIB Mayo FA Cup final. Heard that Eoghan McHale and Gavin Dykes got four games each for their sending off, don't know about Kieran Hopkins for his red and I heard that some of the "supporters" at the game apparently got one to two year bans.
Realise I should have posted this in the Statoil FAI Junior Cup thread so apologies and I'm glad you found the message. Hadn't seen much of Ballina Town but I expect them to be up there challenging the 'big two' next season. Everything that was good about the game was on show, apart from us taking a mauling, youse are a credit to your club and I didn't expect I might ever be saying that so well done to everyone involved.I mean that as much based on discipline and fair play as I do on the standard of football you play.Quote:

If this is the case then fairplay to the MAFL. This kind of behaviour needed action once and for all and the restoration of a little bit of faith in the league.The MAFL needed to make a stand. Whether its supporters or players everyone has a responsibility and this is the kind of activity that is killing the game.Nobody wants to go and watch that kind of behaviour and it has got to put people off the game.Quote:

I ask these questions because the law in this country rests with the judiciary and as such these measures might be regarded as their domain, and I would suggest that any 'unqualified' organisation can not take away the civil liberties of any individual.
I firmly believe that a league cannot discipline a supporter - even a known individual. Their remit exists within the field of play ie players, management and officers. The only course open to the league would be to discipline a club for the behaviour of their so called supporters.
I presume some of these 'sentences' will now be appealed to CFA/FAI and going from previous cases the MAFL have overextended themselves no matter how right/wrong people may feel.
Let me also say that the MAFl could do diddle squat right in this case as they were damned if they did and damned if they didn't......
Lastly may I suggest Point deductions is the way to go. ie get their own players to discipline them......
Mossy I hadn't thought of this and the answer is no of course. In fact its ridiculous and I cant believe I overlooked it.Its not their responsibility.Its the clubs.I say this because I seen this at Finn Harps where a few supporters were banned from the club by the club for their behaviour. I know a league can discipline a club i.e impose a fine for the behaviour of its supporters as happens constantly even with regard pitch incursions in the eL. It would therefore have been the clubs responsibility to ban supporters.Quote:

I was just wondering if ye thought the team of the year awards were a good thing? Who would be the teams that ye would pick from the divisions?
Great to see the mayo league ating action, these celtic so called followers are well know for there crap on and off the pitch, so no harm for them not to be let near celtic games...
The following suspensions and sanctions were taken by the League Management Committee at a Disciplinary Meeting on 10th October 2006, following incidents during the AIB Cup Final on 1st October 2006
Kevin Ryan; Twelve (12) month suspension from all Castlebar Celtic games within the Mayo Association Football League, Connacht Cup, FAI Junior Cup, and Milebush Park for constant abuse to officials and opponents, effective from 1st October 2006
Stevie Ryan; Twelve (12) month suspension from all Castlebar Celtic games within the Mayo Association Football League, Connacht Cup, FAI Junior Cup and Milebush Park for constant abuse to officials and opponents, effective from 1st Ocrober 2006
Greg Whyte; Two (2) month suspension from all Castlebar Celtic games within the Mayo Association Football League, Connacht Cup, FAI Junior Cup and Milebush Park for abuse to officials, effective from 1st October 2006
Castlebar Celtic; For abuse to officials and opponents - are directed to play their first two (2) home games in season 2007 away, and are responsible for paying match officials fees, and are also fined E500.
Gavin Dykes (Castlebar Celtic); Four (4) match suspension for striking an opponent plus €30 fine
Owen McHale (Westport Utd); Four (4) match suspension for striking an opponent plus €30 fine
Kieran Hopkins (Castlebar Celtic); One (1) match suspension for second caution plus €30 fine
Bloody hell !!!!!!
How are the suspensions going to be enforced on these non-playing individuals?
Firstly I offer The Mayo League to come on this site to defend there decision in the manner they have handed out the disciplinary action by them on Castlebar Celtic. And explain there reasons or at leased defend there position, however this is highly not lightly to happen. But at leased I have offered them the opportunity.
Some of the points that need to be cleared up
1. When did the Mayo League become the judiciary of Mayo?
My understanding is that only a barring order must be obtained through the courts in order from preventing any person or persons from admission grounds or otherwise.
2. How does another club prevent these, Will now call them (The Castlebar Three)
From entering your grounds if there club is playing” Castlebar Celtic”?
I can tell you the club have no jurisdiction in this matter as only a Guard can ask them to leave providing you have a complaint to make against The Castlebar Three.
3.The irony of all this is that The Castlebar Three can go to any other match as long as Castlebar Celtic is not involved,
4. There is only one club that could ban them and that is there own. But to do that they Castlebar Celtic must afford those namely The Castlebar Three to attend an in house disciplinary hearing as to account for the charges that would before them.
Because Castlebar Celtic ground is holly owned by them, if they found them guilty as charged, then they would have the right to expel them from there club for what time they feel fit.
5. The Mayo League grounds are vested in the league they are not owned by those who handed out the punishment. However they could and should look to place a barring order on those they wish to remain out side the gates.
6. When did the Mayo league have jurisdiction to hand out suspensions in competitions such The Connaught Cup or F.A.I.? As the suspension where a Mayo League Competition being The Mayo Cup.
The Mayo League has only Jurisdiction over its own competition.
I have believe The Mayo League have over reacted and have lost the run of its self. It needs to rethink carefully before it meets Celtic next week to discuss these issues concerning Castlebar Celtic, in the manner the League has handed out bans to The Castlebar Celtic Three.
First and foremost The Mayo league can only deal with the club regarding its supporters not the supporter as they have no jurisdiction over an Eircom League Player, regards to the other two because they are members of the club they the Mayo League have the right to suspend the two from all activity with in the club for what period it feels fit. I believe this the road The Mayo league must go, or they may end up with red faces.:eek:
It's pretty hard to folla!
Sorry for ya cove if ya ask what you can't understand, will try to explain it in the best Queen's English I know.Quote:

now can we forget you mention spelling and deal with the topic :)
Now there's something to celebrate! Good luck.
Christ I'm shocked having read the above and the naming of the three Castlebar Celtic supporters who have been banned.I have a feeling the Mayo League will end up with egg on its faces because surely they have over steeped their authority. It is up to Castlebar Celtic to take action against supporters and that is their duty, not the League's.The League can however discipline and punish the club for the behaviour of their supporters. I think the Mayo League may have gone to far in relation to this.
Castlebar Town beat. What a surprise. BBB would need to look out. Divisions 2 could be good next year with BBB , Cbar town and all these other sole team clubs (not b teams). Whats the story with Lacken withdrawal. Who will fill their place.
So its Ballyheane B v Ballyvary Blue Bombers for battle for last spot in Division 1, it should be a good game next Sunday
Ballyheane played really poorly yesterday, probably the worst all season and we were lucky to get the win. Having said that a win is a win and I dont expect to see a proformance like that two weeks running.
Sugar anyhow. Wasn't quite sure how I wanted this to go but I edged toward wanting to meet Castlebar Town. No doubt Colm Gannon will be over to watch us again:(Quote:

congrats on beating the town and good look against the bombers. I must say i was shocked that ye beat a Town team with a lot of quality in it. But from a reliable source i heard that there is unrest in the camp,seemingly training sessions consist of two laps of the pitch and then a game and this as upset the most senior players and i believe they are crying out for a new manager.One of your lads told me that the keeper moore wasn't even there and played gaelic instead.I've played against this fella twice this season and he was one of their leaders on the pitch and must have been missed.Not taken away from ballyheane -because they missed players aswell that were out due too suspension. But even in div 2 there sould be better quality coaches out there,because Castlebar Town are one of many clubs that are disatisfied with the coaching/management setup. If Town get a new Manager,and keep the squad they have and maybe add a new midfielder and striker to their ranks -well then they will be a very hard team to beat in 2007.
I more enjoy reading these comments than giving my opinion but in relation to the bans the Celtic supporters recieved,im just wondering is this the same Stevie Ryan that has represented Mayo on so many ocasions at underage level? If so,is this the sort of player we pick to advertise Mayo soccer.If i remember rightly he may have captained a few of these Mayos sides. If this is the way one our young players who has been brought up through the Mayo ranks and had the honour of pulling on the green jersey of his county treats the opposition, should we not look at the way our young players are being coached. They say its better to judge a man on how he handles loosing than on how he handles winning - this does not paint a pretty picture for Castlebar Celtic and more importantly Mayo! I was going to say his parents mustn't best pleased,but it seems like hes not the only one not going watching football on a Sunday in his house.Quote:

We played both teams this year. Cbar beat us by a goal away and we drew with them at home. With a very understrength team we got hammered by Bheane who also fielded a fair few first teamers. I was still shocked when Bheane beat them. I would have thought that a first team would show more hunger. No offence to Heane I think we would prefer BBB to stay up.Quote:

Well done, good to see the neighbours doing well and good luck next sunday:)Quote:

Fair comment - hope the best team plays in div 1. No problem with Ballyheane B. They have shown consistent form all year. Unfortunately I cant make the match - best of luck to both teams. Our loss to Ballyheane was more down to the poor team we fielded and a stag party the night before. We should not have looked for the challenge. Life in the lower leagues!! Learning curve!Quote:

Statistics might prove the existence of a problem - too lazy to compile them. It just appears that some teams produce performances from nowhere and indeed have done so all year. How does Snug B beat Urlaur on 9 April by a goal and then lose to them on 2 July by 6 goals. Beat Swinford on 7 May by 3 goals and then lose by 2 goals 8 weeks later. Did they really lose that many players in that period?
If B teams struggle for players ring a few first teamers. How often do we see a B team struggling and out of nowhere they spring this sub who we all know would have started if they were not trying to keep the B players semi-happy with a starting run out. Maybe Ballyheane don't do it but take a reality check if you think it does not happen elsewhere.
As Orwell said 'some pigs are more equal than others'.
Snugboro B neither lost nor gained any players in that period. Performances levels simply dropped. Something that happens to every team at every level.
Grow upQuote:

It has always been there tower of strenght to play from with in.
Next Sunday will prove how far Ballyheane have come or show how far Ballyvary B.B. have declined. I think its more the later rather than Ballyheane improved. How ever these two sides have old history and old memorys should come flooding back.
Last time these two sides met was in a playoff which Ballyvary won on peno's
in Manulla.
this time I think Ballyheane will edge it out. there strenght lies in there defence,with a lot old heads. young guns up top.
Ballyvary on there part have had a poor season and this could have a part to play in lack of confidance.
I read on the local press that Castlebar Celtic are appealing the bans imposed on the supporters to the Mayo League.Quote:
