Should be a great tie. These are the games people should be going to see, football played the way it was meant to be. Utd have a nice team at this level. Surpised to see your good U-12's go down to Erris Utd last weekend. Celtic also have a very good U-13 squad once this years U-12's are added to the team. Should be two great ties who ever plays.Quote:

Its my opinion that a team who finished third such as Ballinrobe have no right to take there place in the super league, and I would hold this regardless who finished in third place,there is no point in replacing one bad rule for another, which is happening at the moment.
Its My opinion this about the M.L. collecting more monies rather than Westport fielding a second team.
I dont see any problem in Westport sending a second team providing they name separate panel, What the league requires is a new club, which I think is obscene.
So they the Mayo League denied the right of Westport B from taking there rightful place,by sending a underated side instead, and then they in TKelly cornor, will write once again, how the standard of the Super League as fallen from grace.
I think its time kelly and Co got off the pot and deal with the real issue of putting the best teams in the Supper League as this is what they are charged with, rather than having a suporting club rather than the real thing.
Think this is one for the A.G.M.
I know that, but they didnt go back to call themselves Newton Heath, What I wanted to know, were Utd on the go when Westport Town were winning these cups. Did Utd change its name to Town and then go back to Utd. Just wondering how long Utd were actually in existance. How long were they called Town. Just wondering since you are claiming Utd are 100 yrs on the go in 2011.Quote:

Thanks for that and once your finished can I have my bait back. All in a bit of fun.Quote:

Ah, come on & lighten up, why would someone begrudge the length of time a club was in existance. I was only trying to rise TB. Didnt understand the slapping thing, what ever your into.Quote:

Flag Day on Saturday from 9-6 around Westport. Don't forget to dig deep in your pockets!!;):D
We're missing a couple of players but I think that we have more than enough to turn over Swinford, after them coming off the back of a poor season.Quote:

Glenhest are second bottom of the superleague, despite this, they make an effort to play football, however you might have the advantage as their season is over, I dont know how much training they are doing and you might have the edge in terms of fitness. They have a fantastic young goalkeeper. Dave McGreevy is an experienced midfielder/striker and their best outfield player.Quote:

If the players seemed standoffish, that is because they were thinking about the match the next day, they wanted to go to bed and be fresh for the opposition (no matter who they are) that is professionalism that is why they are successful. If the ML organised the function on a night when there were no matches on the next day you would have had the players stay, however it is beyond the ML limited capabilities to do this.
Its on the pitch where the hard work is done and the awards are won not in the ballroom.
Leveller how many awards were won by the club and who won them??
Well done on a great night for Utd. But I think Reno is correct with regard to lack of respect to the Mayo League and the other clubs, who make it possible for the league to take place. What would you be saying if the Mayo League did not hold this night. I do understand you had a game the next day but your B team would be expected to take care off an out of sorts Swinford side. All the talk the next day was not what Utd had won but the way they left the function. Look Celtic are no angels when it comes to this matter but maybe Utd should take note and maybe try to do things different the next time.Quote:

Westport United have been drawn away to Dungarvan United in Round 5 of the FAI Junior Cup.
Ballyheane Stayed all 4 of them untill 1pmQuote:

Sorry I find it hard to agree with you. Well the like of me went to pay homage to your club and others who were in attendance, who collected no cups or recognition for outstanding achievement's. Find it hard to stomach bad behavior, by those who do not show respect of your host. M.L or others in attendance. Just put your self in the other person shoes. how would you feel if every one decided to walk out on a funtion you organised.Quote:
