i know that and we should be beating them by that score, but im saying that the performance in the second half was very good. i think thats what pre-season friendlies are about, performance over resultsQuote:

well who is going to win super league this year, i see iorras are playing westport away last game of season, does anyone think the winner will be from these two
Think were playing our home games in castlebar towns pitch this year. Hopefully that's the case, I agree we need a nice tight pitch to beat teams like Celtic. Happy enough that it's the first game, always seems to be a close game no matter if it's fahy against Celtic a or b last few years. Be interested to see how he get on without 352 and the a league lads!! After westport it's the game I'm looking forward to most this season...Quote:

agree moneen park will help ye a lot. pitch is very poor and tight. i hope that ye fix up the ground a bit. last time i was there it was in a very poor state.Quote:

Seriously? Is it that bad??
As it will be our first time playing there, it will be more like home advantage to Celtic. I believe they are fixing up the pitch as we speak.Quote:

Ah no, contrary to what people think we are never encouraged by any manager to play a physical game but to keep it on the ground and try and play ball. Something tells me physical might work against ye though so maybe just this once haha, only messing :)
i have to agree with most of what you are saying, i have been to every pitch in the county and its not the worst but the club house needs a lot of work,well run down,and not mayo league standard. maybe fathy will spend a few pound on the upkeep if they use it for their home games.by the way best of luck in the L.O.I.Quote:

At the moment, i get a text message from my website before every Snugboro game. At the end of the game, i return the score, and this in turn updates the result and the league table on the Snugboro website. The only cost to me, is sending back of the result, 9c on Meteor.
Would any other club members be interested in returning text messages for their clubs fixtures? Private Message me if you want to set this up.
i think there is enough young players coming through in the next few years that are good enough for eircom league, but as of yet they are a bit too young. hopefully celtic will be stabilised in the next 2-3 years and then we will have enough good players that are experienced and mature enough without looking outside the club for players.Quote:

there will also be 6 or 7 17 and 18 year olds in the squad. 3 or 4 of them played last night in a friendly and i think that there was a fair few missing aswell. hopefully the mixture of youth and experience will do us well
think the closing date for signing has passed, only players brought in that weren't with the club already are james jennings from manulla for keeper, ashley stevenson from ballyheane endamcgahon from manulla who looks like a good young player and danny broderick from claremorris who was with longford last year.Quote:

Have you seen the pitch? there are loads of pitches a lot worse, and one or two in the Super League never mind the Mayo league.Quote:

Sorry to hear Castlebar Town are not entering a junior team this year. Is it true that Fahy are using Towns pitch for the SL. Surely it is not up to the SL standards? The last time I was there dressing in very poor state and pitch left a lot to be desired. No fault to the hard working Town people. What are the plans for the future for Fahy are you going to bite the bullet and get your own ground otherwise you will be considered a pub team (not in playing standard), once this group of players are gone is the club going to foldQuote:

In our first season we had about 8 or 9 under 21s who played week in week out, now its down to about 3.Quote:

We're still not that old though, this pub team will be round for another 5 years anyway!!!
i have seen the pitch and played on it a good few times. not a bad pitch? what pitches are you used of playing on? if ya like playin on a curved pitch with a bad surface then i suppose you can call it a good pitch! of course there are worse pitches in mayo, but not an awful lot worse!!Quote:

well the season is drawing closer and here is what i think the table will finish up come the end of the season
1st westport (it kills me to say but they have the strongest squad)
2nd erris (they will keep there good form going)
3rd ballina (they will be up there but can't see them winning it)
4th celtic (cant see them challenging for the title this season)
5th manulla (decent squad but not enough to challenge for title)
6th snugboro (revolution is over and won't reach the heights of last year)
7th ballyheane (should have more than the bottom three)
8th fahy (their direct and hard-working style will keep them up)
9th s + f (squad no where near as good as last year, lost a lot of important players)
10th kilmore (cant see them getting many points).
well thats my table. im sure everyones will be different and it will be interesting to see every else's opinion :)
Who did S+F lose apart from Greg Reape? Didn't realise their squad was depleted. I fancied them to be top three material with last year's squad.Quote:
