think you need to relax 12th man, have any of my posts ever been a dig at anyone.....NO, chill out a small bit,
i do understand what your saying but i didnt mean it with the intent of causing trouble.
good win for the port yday renovator, how does the team feel taking a back seat this year with castlebar going well in the cups??
I see that the Manulla Management have resigned citing player abuse and indisciple as their reason. Now this will bring on Two things - 1. Mossy back = bad news for the JP wing of the club and 2. More journeys for the Muinteoir to Ref them constantly ( Cause they really need him now ). How much would it cost the club just to buy him a house there. surely long term savings. I remember not so long ago that the flavour of the month was Mick Walsh, not that I noticed any bias on his part mind, but nonetheless he was out there at pratically every match. No doubt the Muinteoir will fall from grace too and then they could use it for their next favourable 12th Man.
Was at Crossmolina on Sunday and they deserved their victory. Congrats Lads
Thanks Juan Pablo. Whats happening in Ballinrobe. Some poor results, especially from the B team who have some pretty decent players. Losing the 3 Neale lads - Casey, Forde and Ryan seems to have been a big problem!Quote:

Will just have to wait and see.
who scored for ye on sunday??
how is alan G playing for ye??
Scorers. Maye (Pete), John Hughes (penalty) and Rob Holian. Alan G working at weekends.Quote:

Call it what you like lads but if thats true some very important questions are being raised:
1- Where is the heart and soul of football in this county going to end up if Celtic keep gobbling up players from all teams?
2- What are they going to do with that squad - demote all the local lads?
3- Are players in the 'not-so-fashionable' areas of the league just dying to jump ship?
I've never heard the likes of it. Madness
Applause Gnasher. Applause. I'm delighted for Castlebar Celtic and their achievements but your point is valid.Has the bar ever been raised as high before. Straide and Foxford are close to us at the Bombers and its a good club with a good spirit but it cannot compete nor can many clubs with C'bar Celtic's ambition.What happens to these clubs. I feel an awful lot has to do with Dykes personal ambitions to finally succeed at management after his failed attents particularly at Finn Harps and Derry City. That may or may not be true and you cant fault a club for its ambition but if its going to hurt every other club along the way then we have problems.

No I wouldnt think so but I think that would leave Fintan Mchale in a dangerous positionQuote:

I believe on the advice of Mossy Neary went to Celtic and fitzy would only stay at Manulla if Mossy was there.Quote:

I think McHale will be on his way out.or will be thrown to the dogs of football,
the B team.

just wonder what the Mayo League will think?
For once I agree with you. the M.A.F. L.HAVE FAIL TO APPLY THERE OWN RULES BUT I DONT EXPECT THEM TO INVESTAGTE THE PLAYERS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN INDUCED BECAUSE THE M.L. IS FOR TURNING JUST LOOK HOW IT WAS INVOLVED IN KELLY GATE.Quote:

word is 45 local businessess have been asked to cough up €10 each to pay for him. if they have the resources thats a great way of showing it.Quote:

Any results from the weekend particularly in Division One. BBB's got their first win of the season and their fourth point of the season with a win in Blacksod yesterday.

All hoping on board the good ship Celtic, Cant help feeling sorry for Straide after losing such a fine player, Manulla on the other hand did not develop Campbell so they can't cry too much !!!
Now with at least 3 (Outside ) Managers being paid and some players as well the question is where it will end. Can Celtic keep paying this money? What will be left when Dykes walks ? I presume the Port have some money from last Year so I presume that they are ok. The Heane need to find funds too
And perhaps Manulla will go down the same route - Mind boggling indeed
Another great win for Crossmolina. Looks like 2 from Straide, Manulla and the Glass. A bit early yet maybe bit these Three look in trouble.
Did Straide and Foxford not lose two players to Castlebar Celtic. In anycase losing a player like Neary will be sorely felt.Quote:

Who's to say they dont fall at the first hurdle next season and then what. Its going to be all very interesting to see how this pans out and what the consequences of it will be.Quote:

As evidenced in these forums we tend to concentrate on these leagues and forget about the lower league teams who put in as much effort (sometimes more just to keep afloat) and if the MAFL keeps developing as it is now the situation will just get worse.:mad:
I was at the Partry/Mulranney match at the weekend and the referee was on the point of walking away and refusing to play the match as there was no available changing room in Mulranney (the clubhouse not being finished yet) and the rain was unreal. What is the rule as regards changing rooms in the first division?:confused:
Game was a cracker. We made the mistake of thinking we had it won at 3-0 but fair play to Mulranney they came back to level it and both teams had chances to win. Looks like Charlestown and Bangor Hibs are becoming the teams to catch as I thought they would. As I said before though, don't write off Partry! When we get over our injury crisis (7 first teamers out and counting) we will be a force to be reckoned with again.:D
first of all i don't agree with paying managers at amateur level. secondly if u are going down that road it seems quite alot for someone who has ONE (YES 1) years managerial experience at junior level and in that year he blew a great chance of winning the league when the pressure came on. He never won anything as a manager. did BOC ever even manage underage. i think this is a case of the grass is always greener.Quote:

Who cares about how it's funded although most clubs would be able to fund some sort of expenses through gathering a bunch of lunatic die-hards and taking the price of a few bevvies off them every week. The clubs are saying; Put your money where your mouth has been for the last while and get behind your team!Quote:

I'm sure 1 or 2 players mite start wondering if they can get a few quid now (and rightly so if the manager is being paid). This will have a negative effect on other club fundraising as alot of people in westport disagree with this.Quote:

Well lads BOC is gonna be a big loss from my club Corrib Rangers. Yes he has 1 years expierience as a Player Manager but the professional attitude he brought to our club on and off the pitch was unbelievable.
Im hearing all different amounts in Galway and thats between Brendan and the club but he will be great for Westport, not only are ye getting an excellent manager but ye are getting a great player as well who has a wealth of expierience from playing League of ireland.
I for one wish him all the best and he will great for ye
Fair play, that was a nice endorsement for the lad from an ex clubman, he must have had the respect of ye boys anyway. Makes me more confident for Westport hearing it too, I never saw the guy, but worried about his level of coaching experience. He's only 27 too is he not? I presume he will play too.Quote:

Ya hes 27 alright and made his league of ireland debut at 17, He can play centre half or Centre Midfield and was probably our player of the season.
I remember when he took over from us and we were relegation material 3 seasons running and he brought us to the final day of the season with a chance of winning the league.Some achievement i tell ya
He is a very ambitious guy who always wants to better himself in football and he will manage League of ireland someday and he knows the only way he can do that is to make sure Westport are successful on the pitch.
