I take your point, but the ML should oraganise these things on a night when there are no games the next day, then we can all party, if they want Mayo teams to do well in external competitions they should not be having all their teams up to all hours the night before a game. Agree?Quote:

Dont blame Westport lads for leaving, they won the superleague and premier league and still dont win club of the year. Bizarre to say the least !!!
There is a Drumbar in Donegal, and there is a Moyville in Rathfarnam in Dublin, but I would say, they could be any one of many in the country.Quote:

the players had to leave if they had a game next day but chairman,vice chair,sec,tres...etc they should be still there to represent the club thats why they are in office.its appalling and once again puts the club in spotlight for wrong reasons.
Take the record off, the needle is jumping.Quote:

It appeared they left in protest, it this you can not defend.even in your thread you condem the M.l
Sorry cant agree with you. You can't accept prizes on the basics that suits you. you have to except the M.L. DECISSION IN ALL MATTERS.Quote:

There was nothing to protest about.Quote:

Great article on Mozmir on the Mayo News this week. I hear that there is a going away party in Walsh's Bar, Mill Street next Friday night at 10:00. All supporters are welcome to pay homage to the legend!!:D
just as a matter of interest why is the mayo lge dinner always in castlebar ? why not move it around a bit ?
I would say they have it in Castlebar as it is a hub town to most of the clubs, in other words it is more or less the centre for surrounding clubs, would be nice to see it in the McWilliam Hotel in Claremorris in the near future.Quote:

Heard that the U.12s had a fantastic 3-1 win in Sligo yesterday after extra time. Must have been some slagging between Jim Rocliffe and Terry Delahunt!!:D:D:D
Hot off the press!! Westport United's game is called off due to Galway Bohs bus apparently being cancelled by the tour operator, thinking that the game would be postponed. Westport are in Milebush and the match officials will be present and Westport are looking to claim the game.
You couldn't bring it to Westport due to the Westport team would more than lightly have no manners to there host.Quote:

Any way Westport would rather win the game on the field of play not in a smokey board room.

If the dinner dance was on a night that did not clash with anything, the players would wait on for as long as they wish. That happened in 2004 and 2005.
It is an insult to suggest that Westport people would not have the manners to... actually i couldn't make out what you were trying to say.Quote:

Kenneth, sorry Thunderblaster(!) has already pointed out we had a game the next day. With all the free weekends why did the Mayo League pick a weekend when there were games, and why were Urluar (i think) allowed to call of their game?
As for a Galway Bohs. I dont think anyone mentioned that the bus broke down, the bus co. just didn't bother showing. Between players, committee and supporters don't tell me they hadn't any cars between them to drive down in?
Anyway it doesn't really matter what you think, we will know the outcome next week

I agree with you Thunder, it was a nice gesture by the Mayo News to write a farewell article on a player who has not been in the team for long, but has been integral to Westport's progress this year. It's reassuring to see that foreign nationals are being recognised in the area for their achievements, rather than the old 'They come over here, they take our jobs...' right-wing bull**** the Mail and other similarly xenophobic papers spout week in week out. All the best to him at home and fair play on the titles he won with Westport, as well as his place on the team of the season.Quote:

As for Bohs not turning up, the have to be out and Utd into the next Rd. Bus cancelled itself what type of business is that.Quote:

On the subject of sponsorship, who are our main sponsors? The Castlecourt Hotel owned by the Corcoran family they also sponsor the Westport GAA Team, another one of their businesses sponsors the Westport Rugby Team, and Ballyheane Soccer Club.
[So they sponsor 2 Superleague Teams along with the others, and they are not doing enough? get your facts right.:eek:
Their Hotel also has a pool (unlike any of yours) and it is a place you go to and take a jump for yourself…;)
Easy on, you should consider taking a few anger management classes, who's the badger now. The point I was making was that the WI give direct to the Mayo League and like the CCH they also sponsor a number of clubs around CastlebarQuote:

The WI would get most of their money back from what you spend at ML functions anyway.
I am sure that the CCH would be glad to hold the awards in their hotel if asked.;)
