Heard the Mayo Women's league is in turmoil.No rule book applyed.No leadership??? Also heard teams are not happy with some decisions made by committee.Some crazy decisions that would put any league into crisis!!!!Is this the way to run a league,
Mick Kelly Brought them to the Mayo F.A Cup final. As regards the Fundraising rule players wishing to sign have to sell 5 50 season lotto tickets or the same in 2 tickets . It might seem a bit harsh but players have to have an input in the club. I have a feeling alot of clubs will follow suit. It is essential as i would say alot of clubs committees are sick and tired of doing all the work and players getting away with doing Sweet fanny adams.2 Ballyheane committee told me thay were impressed by the idea. ;) Whatya think :cool:Quote:

I dont agree with every little thing however i think the committee ran aN EXCELLENT LEAGUE this year so havent a clue where youre coming from. As for leadership thats pure waffle. Both Michael Jennings and Jeremey Dee done good work this season and i always found them helpful and accomodating to deal with so what are you on about :mad:Quote:

They may have a funding problem due to sucess,but thats a new challenage.:confused:
Anyone at Milebush Park today to see the Mayo U.12s against Sligo/Leitrim? Mayo may have lost 2-1 but the football was absolutely fantastic to watch. A great game from a purist's point of view.:ball: Pity about the weather between wind/thunder.:(
Rumour is true, Scoby Moran is the Manager of Castlebar Town.Quote:

just wondering who it is that attends these meetings?as in who from each club are expected to attend?managers/commitee members?Quote:

How are clubs getting on with training? Very hard to train with the lack of astro pitches hard to put up with. Any sign of Ballinrobe developing a pitch?
I stand corrected on the Mayo FA Cup. I think the fundraising rule is a great idea. It is about time players started sharing the burden of running their club. I know Castlebar Celtic membership is €130 (set by the players) and youths €80 (covers buses for the year). I did not know that the Boro had a lotto. The €50 ticket is that for the year or six months. Lets hope all clubs take this idea on board and we you will soon see which players are committed to the club.Quote:

membership seem very dear, or is that the going rate for most if not all the super leauge team's ??
[QUOTE=the grape vine;609216]We'll Celtics is 130 so ya its more or less the same for most Clubs and at the end of the day its not too Dear when Most lads would drink the same on the post match to the Local, Bar one and Mantra. :DQuote:

[QUOTE=the grape vine;609223]you should try a run a club on those cost,you will then see how hard it is.Quote:

[QUOTE=renovater;609341]i think 200 per player is way over priced. and does membership at150-200 Include full Insurance, to cover a players wage's and medical bills if he was to break his leg and out of work for 3-6months or he was to tear a hamstring and needed 10-15 session's of physio @ about 40 a session ???:confused: :confused:Quote:

A player cannot expect to get the type of cover mentioned by grape vine for €3 a week. If players are concerned that they are not covered, and generally they should be concerned, they should seek their own cover. CICE provide general accident cover including sports injuries. People should beware that the cover can be costly and the salesmen can be very pushy. Make sure you know exactly what you are buying and read the small print. Players with dependant spouses or children or players with mortgages or other committments should have seperate cover. Due to the number of accidents and the costs most clubs will be unable to help.
Any other suggestions? Can/do clubs offer additional cover? Any other companies offering cover apart from CICE?

But that is something I accept as we are not a "pro" club with big money behind us, using lotto tickets to pay for our refs, washing the jerseys and that.
Your dead right yop. Its good that you accept it too. I hear alot of players moaning about " will the club pay for my Physio bla bla bla" The same feckers wouldnt sell a lotto ticket if it was the end of the world. However its also important that clubs dont pay injury bills for the "star" players and not the ordinary Joe soaps or this will open up a huge can of worms :mad:Quote:

I think we all a agree on one thing, football does come at aprice.Some must pay more than others.wheather its 200 or 100 one at the end of the day must make ends meet. and no club offical should have to bare the cost, because of some selfish footballers,who think they are gods gift to man or woman.Its about time they the players face up to the hard facts,:mad: there is no free lunch,and everythink has to be paid for.
I would of thought that every player had at leased medical insurrance from one of the big three.V.H.I. BUBA VIVAS.
But it apears not.the old cleque the club will pay.or the some benefactor will provide out of his pocket.Well that may of happen in the pased,but today no.
so for the last time players please get your heads out of the sand!!!
In the past we would'nt have much joy.But now they have a new believe and a little extra in the tank!!:ball:Quote:

they seem to have built up a bit of momentum and theres a fair bit of belief in themselves at the moment so i don't see why they wouldn't be able to pull a decent result out of the trip.all the lads are really playing for the cause at present also.mayo to win 2-1.2-0 if the defence keeps up its recent excellent record!Quote:

Where is he going? I thought he already tried the semi-pro game with Sligo. Is Kenneth O'Malley (B'robe) still with Sligo or is he playing any soccer at all?Quote:
