It was supposed to be on today but it was called off due to an unplayable pitch. We will have to wait and see if the other couple of games go ahead tomorrow.Quote:

Any date for the ML AGM yet? Or any word that the season might kick off earlier to avoid another logjam
In fairness what pitch was going to be playable. Its very unfair on teams to lose home advantage because of this.Quote:

I see Fahy have an advert in the paper this week for a Manager. Does this mean they are going to splash the cash? Normally advertising a position means a paid number
No lolly involved I'm afraid. Looking at getting a second underage team up and running this season (U-12's & U-14's) and getting our pitch finalised.Quote:

Not sure if you want to risk your superleague status on a novice.
I hear ya, but its pretty difficult find any Manager willing to give up their time for free, let alone an experienced one.Quote:

So is the existing manager taking a break from the first team or still helping out? ... or how does it exactly work?Quote:

Yes he would but hes Boro through n through so i couldnt see him opting for another club although It would be a huge steal if ye did get him plus there aint too many managers on the merry go round these days!!!Quote:

Can anybody shine some light on why this Sun and not last Sun.......
Would it have anything to do with reversal of fixtures... Ah surely not , not even he would try that one or would he ?:)
Utterly confused :confused:
Erris especially should ask some very serious questions of the league.
Id say he'd have to play for the A-League team, ur rite he's be wasted playin for the SL team. good signin for there A-League side if he does play for them, plenty if experience.Quote:

The point is that an explanation should be forthcoming from the Mayo league to explain how the weather situation has altered from Sunday to Sunday.
Needless to say it wont happen and Manulla will play that game at home by hook or by crook.
Shame
There is a precedent for this 'fado fado' when cattle mysteriously made their way onto Kellogues pitch and the game was postponed - against erris I believe.
Shame again :mad:
The weather was just as poor last weekend but teams did not retain home advantage. This yet again just seems all wrong but its what we have come to expect.Quote:

No i didnt but I know he regrets that move. Plus do you remember who was at the helm at the time. If my memory serves me right you didnt like playing under him either ;)Quote:

My God - I thought that we got rid of all that bigotry on this thread, and people were discussing football matters here. Go on to the threads that discuss and relate to these matters - FAI Junior Cup and Connacht Cup. Maybe you should contact the people that approve all those decisions for those competitions, or better still do something about it in a positive sense.Quote:

Is there any teams doing any training out there in this harsh weather?
I didnt play under him but i did go play for the B team for that season instead of leaving the club. ah well all in the past :)Quote:

I think tou miss the point(s) here.
Bigotry is another word for intolerance and how these decisions can be tolerated this long is beyond me, so yes in the truest sense of the word I am a bigot.
Other Threads ???? This is the Mayo General topics thread . The MAFL - well some of them anyway - have taken this decision not the FAI/CFA so I would presume that this is covered under this brief.
Contact: If you read my post you would see that I have done same and was taken aback by their naivety/ignorance - dont know which.:(
I do not want to get involded in a heavy debate with Mossy or Rava on whether games should be called off on an individual basis or as has been done recently with a blanket call off. If people have a problem with these matters then they should be addressed in the proper forum at a league meeting. We all know who Mossy is, and he has every right to point out the different situation that has applied in recent times, but maybe there is a valid reason or an instruction from a higher authority. I agree with Fair play that we are far better off discussing football matters. I think that Iorras can beat Manulla provided the desire is there to do so from the players. I feel that Iorras have not been firing on all cylinders over the past while but I may be wrong. Anyway, can we all move on.
Bestie,
Whether Erris beat Manulla or not is not the point. The point surely is that a 'cute - whore' stunt has been pulled here again and it is blatantly unfair.
As regards the point being discussed at meetings I would have to laud your faith in the democratic process. :p
As regards my identity being well known - well so be it. Hope I can still point out abuses when they occur. After all Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is still under house arrest and therefore cannot keep up to date with the Machinations of the MAFL
`when are the teams of the year announced?
It hasnt been mentioned. Is that the one picked by the refs?Quote:
