To sum up hoop, 1924 and all Celtic lads think they are now in a better league, better standard of football and all the lads are improving, young lads who are coming through are good and they reckon they'll be in the 1st division in the next few years.Quote:

Me, I'm bored with the sh*t debate that will never end. If the LOI is so far ahead of the super league then take the debate to a LOI/A league forum. No disrespect to it but this is a super league forum :ball:
i think we figured that out alright;):)Quote:

I would 100% Concur with what you say,From a Celtic point of view we are only doing what every suppoter/member would do.Stand up for what we believe is right.Saying all of that it does not mean we are right all the timeQuote:

Should be a great game.. Ballina when at they're top can play some great fluent football capable of breaking down most teams but Snugboro well capable to Hit them on the counter and to Stop ballina from playing football.
I've a feeling this could go all the way..Maybe Extra time winner or shoot outs to decide the game. 2-2 Fulltime I Think

Westport Utd 2 - 3 Moy Villa
Are Westport in free fall or did they just aproach this game with the wrong attitude????? Fair play to the Div 2 side. Great result whatever in house problems might be in the port, Totally overshadows our result against Achill. Also Swinford claiming another SL scalp...... Are the divisions gettein closer and closer?????? Do SL sides think that they can just brush lower divisional teams aside and maybe aproach games in a wrong frame of mind??? Only 1 SL side left in the competition now and im sure they wont be looking forward to whichever side they get ;)
Record number of question marks there!Quote:

I'd say their in pretty good shape after being unlucky with injuries and missing their main strikers fro last 2 and a half games?
Who did Swinford beat? They are decent enough anyway...
Did Dessie and Hoban not serve there automatic one game ban against Erris? they wont get further punishment until the next committee meeting in mid August but i could be wrong on this.
Swinford beat Ballyheane 5-4 on pens ..... game finish 2-2 aetQuote:

We had a game in Achill at 7-00 last night and that meant we had to leave at 4-30. Do you realise how hard it is to get lads off work and get a team together?? So dont tell me about poor Westports problems. Anyway that aside surley they should have enough strength in depth to see off a Div 2 side???Quote:

There appears to be major crack appearing and from reports they were held in the Changing rooms in Snugboro for over an hour after their latest league defeat. Every side will have small numbers from time to time and injuries so please dont use that same old excuse.
They'll win the super league this year. Every club has a bad patch.Quote:

Free fall is dropping down a few divisions in a few years, not losing 3 games in 4. You know any clubs who went into free fall??????? Stones in Glasshouses, you should know better :rolleyes:
Whose he? never heard of him :DQuote:

Were you at it 1924? Great win for Moy Villa...
I actually was!!! Westport had about 25 chances but Moy Villa just wanted it more.Westport are a very good team but there form has deserted them this last few weeks,It is not up to me to say what is wrong or right.saying that things are not good at the moment.Dessie and mr hoban served there bans against Erris last sunday pending any further punishment dished out by the mayo league when they meet up.Quote:

Didnt say anything bout them not winning the SL... And as for underhand comments reguarding Charlestown if you dont know history or facts on what happened better not talk about things you know nothing about.. Still I think we have played Fahy Rovers twice in the last 5 years in cup competitions and turned them over both times. Getting out of the lower divisions is getting tougher and tougher as the teams (in my view) in the premier, 1st and 2nd divisions have little or nothing between them.Quote:

We know how hard it is getting through the leagues, played in all four leagues in 7 years since fahy was refounded. All the best in getting promoted from div 2, with your catchment area we would all expect the likes of Charlestown, achill and balinrobe to be up challenging for SL status ;)
Best of luck to the boro from the boys down under(",) Hope ye win it lads!!!!
No band waggon jumper here im afraid, and yes I agree about 1 off cup games etc etc but im afraid you are mistaken if you think we have a large pool of players to pull from. On the Sligo and Roscommon borders with Swinford 5 miles up the road (with 2 teams), Urlaur United 7 miles away and Knock 8 miles away. A town where GAA takes precidence and not a single GAA player in the squad (as pointed out history and all that). Once again your facts letting you down:cool:.Quote:

But beleive me when I say that this current crop of players could mix it with the best in the county and nothing would please me more than seeing Charlestown Athletic return to its former glories........heres hopin :)
hey conn rangers are bringing back the glory days,super league here we come,although division 1 would be a good start:)by the way i notice snugboro havnt edited their website since the cup final last weekend,i wonder why???:)
Anyone got any idea of the top scorers in the division? Is it available on the Snugboro website? Couldn't find it. Be interesting to have a look. Who would people bet on for the golden boot?
lol :dQuote:

What facts are letting me down? Your excuses are letting you down buddy ;)

You seem to be quite partisan with your recollection of the clashes between us... I remember fondly scoring the 7th against ye a few years back... That one slip your mind????
u scored...when back in 1978 was it....>? self praise is no praise.....Quote:

Best leave it where it is as this could go on for a while and anyway my original post was relating to Westports poor result against a div 2 side and having been at all the divisional cup finals over the last 2 weeks i am more convinced that the margins are getting closer and closer and that getting to the SL is as much a challenge as been there in its self.
i see from todays papers that the westport team have lost 1 of there managers, who'll be next to take things there? will we go down the route of getting an outsider in to do the job?
don't the ins and outs as to why the manager may have left but its a bit poor leaving when they hit a bit of a rough patch!Quote:

I totally agree with your last comment,and the Sl standard is not as good as is perceived.Quote:
