Another win for the Junior team, defeating Crossmolina 4-2 with goals from the Louisburgh Lion (2) and Dave Horkan (2). A little bit of controversy about the Crosmolina goals, particularly the first one; the second one is a one in a million chance that you woould see scored.
The B team drew 1-1 with Celtic B with Danny Murphy netting.
Two big cup games tomorrow night with the Juniors away to Erris United in the Westaro Cup semi final and the B team "home" to Bangor Hibs in Milebush Park in the Touhy Cup semi final. Hopefully two wins out of two!!;)
The big one in Celtic Park at 2:30, Sunday afternoon. Castlebar Celtic V Westport United. Form will not matter here in this one and expect this game to be ultra competitive as normal!!:D
In underage gossip, in the top of the table clash, Westport United U.14B team defeated Straide and Foxford 8-4 in Foxford to go two points clear with a game played more. The half time score was 2-2 but Westport were excellent in the second half and, crucially, kept their discipline when frustration got the better of S&F Utd.
Did Steven not score for ye?
How times have changed. As normal we are looking forward to welcoming our Westport friends this Sunday but it is not seen as a big game anymore at Celtic Park since we have moved into the Eircom League. With teams like Sligo Rovers, Derry City, Galway Utd. etc coming to Celtic Park, the Westport matches have not the same appeal. I do know that who ever lines out for Celtic will give it their all. Big game for UTD & Ballina. Westport should take all three points based on the players lining out for the A team at the moment. Good to see you challenging for Under Age trophies again, be it you are relying on your B team to do this for you.Quote:

Your the only one that calls Stephen Danny Murphy. Does that constitute a "nickname". As for Makalele, i know Johnny is dark skinned, but black he ain't!
I heard that a number of Westport supporters were looking in wonderment at the Eircom League flag that was flying in Celtic Park last Sunday. As for the game itself Celtic took their chances and the Port did not look like scoring once Russell gave the Champions the led. I was surprised how poor Utd were. Will the manager be under pressure after this result and more importantly the performance. Its Ballina's to loose now.Quote:

The real question is. Brendan O'Connor is under pressure by those who will be studying his form. Should he not deliver he could be on the way out along with his Galway compatriot.
Ballina on the other hand hold all the aces, and good luck to them, all they have to do continue the good form they are in.
Will you ever learn you cant buy the league,and by all accounts you have tried.
With your fancy couch man and the players you brought in hasn't worked.
Should you not win the league there will be alot of egg on red faces:o
The boys came through 3-0 at home to Glenhest last night through two oggies and a penalty from the Louisburgh Lion. Only saw the last 30 minutes. Manulla did us a massive favour by beating Ballina Town 4-2!!:D Has Ballina got the bottle to keep their noses in front??
There is a fundraising barbecue and disco in The Quays pub next Friday night at 8:00. Tickets are on sale for €10.

Say that to some of the supporters that left Celtic Park fuming at the display. I have to hold up my hands and admit that there are players out there that are underperforming. I am not going to name names and some of the absenteeism through injuries and emigration do not help the cause either. We won the FAI Junior Cup in 2005. It's over. Time to move on boys.Quote:

Thats makes no sense whatsoever! If someone is underperforming he shouldn't be picked!
Jesus, what are you on about man??:confused:Quote:

Reno, I have to say I don't contribute to these threads anymore (passed over to the but am I glad I can remember my password so I can revert to you and your like. Sniping, sniffling, Ballyheane. We've won more with our under 16's than Ballyheane juniors will ever muster (and the only pay i got was an orange at half time).Quote:

We're after regional and national honours. If you want to sling mud in the doldrums of Ballyheane be my guest. Just sling it in the road to Castlebar not back the road to Westport.
Did I hit a nerve. I know it must be difficult that a Eircom League flag will never fly over the Sports Park (it would be great to see for the real Utd supporters). By your reply I see you know very little about Celtic. Gavin Dykes rested all the U-21 players for bigger and more difficult Eircom League games ahead. He did play two young players who will not start on this years (07/08) U-18 team (but will play a big part in the defence of the national, provincial & Mayo titles won in 06/07) and two U-20 players coming back form injury. By Celtic's standards the team that were good enough to be Utd was not a great team but what they did show was Celtic's fighting spirit. For all of Westports possesion they were with out any ideas and when Celtic went ahead they never looked like scoring. Celtic have moved after winning our National title why not Utd still, looking back at that great day. You are left behind by your bitter rivials. As for out side players I think you had four players not from Westport, I suppose it OK you Westport to bring in players but for Celtic on no. I hope your ex manager who welcomed all the Sligo players to the mayo League is happy to welcome all your new OUTSIDE PLAYERS. How times have changed.Quote:

You cannot compare Ballyheane with Utd, Ballyheane might (and will never) match Utd on the pitch due to population, but they sure have shown you up if you compare the Sports Park to Quigley Park. Your Youth set would be not something you can shout about with all you best players wanting to move to Celtic to win something. When was the last time a Utd youth team contested a Connacht Final. I suppose you will ignore thsi reply so be it. Keep it going ballyheane FC your a credit to all that is good in Mayo football.Quote:

Celtic a Mickey Mouse club who hold the record for most Connacht junior Cups (9), Connacht Youth Cup (8), Mayo League titles (16), Mayo FA Cup (5) won, need I go on. If Celtic are a mickey mouse club what are Westport Utd a one team wonder (national title not even won on the pitch). Come on join the big clubs and stop hidding behind your one Junior Cup (court) win, why not join the rest of the MM clubs in the Eircom League or are you waiting for the champions league. Give me a break.Quote:

I was not involving Celtic - I said Castlebar - there are more teams than your shower. But maybe with the beer goggles on you failed to see that.
Fair point regarding our youth setup etc but there's nothing new there for me so I'm not biting back on that. If that's all you have to say then start you're own thread (see above for some suggestions).
Otherwise, stick to polishing glasses and talking rubbish - you (like your club) are good for something and that warms my heart.
P.S. I am fully supportive of Celtic's EL U21 team. A great thing to have in the county and fair play to ye for doing it.:cool:
We have won our National title and on the field for that matter and moved on to the Eircom league, So Utd are now only interested in one competition Mayo Leagues and Connacht Cups are minor trophies. Eircom league clubs consider the FAI Junior Cup as a minor trophy so what are Utd then a minor club. Of course Celtic would loved to win the Junior cup but it is not the main goal for the club anymore we are after bigger tophies now. We are paying our manager but not as much as yee are paying your Galway man. The fundraising we are doing at prseent is going towards our full size astro turf pitch @ Celtic Park. Come over some night and we will turn the lights on for you so can have have a look around.Quote:

I can also tell you that the manager was not long ago at the start of the season told that he had to take a pay cut or else.
I surgest you go back to where you hid your self.
By the way you fail as a club to take the next step.and that is why the Eircom Flag does'nt fly in Westport.
I dont believe any club gets tied of winning, may you do:(
There just begudging:)Quote:

And it won't be long that they may head else where if you don't change your policy's within your club.
You had the public meetings alreadly this year.next could see your youthsmove else where.I will keep my ear closed to the ground

You can have all the facilities in the world to get the glory hunters in, but win the fai cup to be taken seriously in this country.:confused:
The Junior cup (and yes we would love to win it) would rank behind the Eircom League, FAI Cup senior & Intermed., U-21 League & Cup according to the FAI. Since you have won the Junior cup whats next for this serious club. Is it the meaningful Mayo League for you. We will move on & up words and let you have your low standard of Junior football. To be a serious club you need more than one national trophy, but at least the people running Utd know this.Quote:

Point taken about our ego's. Is it true that UTD have secured land from the Town Council?Quote:

Good lad!
At least I have the balls to contribute - go back to just reading the thread and talking muck in the pub like the rest of them. These are my opinions, fair enough if I have'nt got the time to do a Poll on the streets of the town but at least I've unearthed another new poster to the thread. Now maybe you'll begin a more suitable debate for yourself.Quote:

I suggest putting each other on ignore if you can't see eye to eye.
