Much stronger than last year - we have 5 players that could easily play in the higher divisions -paul maye,terry maughan,robert moore,stephen jennings,nicky canning.And have a solid manager - so with a bit of luck this season -we should get out of the division.
known of the players you've mentioned there mamoore would scare anyone, although i'm sure if scoby gets the committment ye should do better than ye normally do. were s+f any good the last day?
Crazy....now thats an interesting word, good to see your "has anyone posted my name on foot.ie" sensor is still working on your PC ;)
On the five who could easily play in the higher divisions Div 1 maybe but not any higher, Stephen Jennings left BallyH because he could not give the commitment needed, he tried to get back with Castlebar Celtic B but after last years experiences with him it was decided not to take up his offer.
Robert Moore, was he not playing B with Castlebar Celtic, but left to drop 2 divisions, why was this?
Terry Maughan, a fine player but would doubt his talent in the Premier to Super league, he would have been snapped up long go otherwise.
Paul Maye is taking it easy, again maybe does not want the commitment of higher divisions.
i would definatly have to agree with you irishyob on that analysisQuote:

Anyhow the season will tell the story itself.

How do you mean Erris couldnt organise a Ref :confused: . Sure its up to the League. The funny thing is the ref at our game was a Belmullet Man so i dont know why ye didnt have him. Ye mite have been better off anyhow when he lef 2 Ballina players Box one of our lads and leave the Clubs Superleague Manager out Cold :mad:Quote:

We had to take off players who the ref had taken a dislike to. One of our players got booked for a sliding tackle - he took the ball cleanly and did not even touch the C'bar player. The ref told him 'you have to stay on your feet'. When did this become a rule. If a team is so young that the ref has to protect them like this they should not be playing junior football. Sick with a distinct feeling of having been treated badly. His lack of consistency was astonishing with some nasty Castlebar tackles not being punished. As for the penalty - what a laugh.
Saying that the Castlebar lads were fine and played some nice football. Chinese guy at full back showed how the game should be played with gusto, contstantly pushing down the line all the time and when tackles were needed he was not found wanting. Whilst ref did not help and soured the spirit of the game Cross were terrible and C'bar showed the benefit of good coaching now and down thru the years.
Have to say that the tackle where your man was booked was a joke to be honest, he got some decisions very badly wrong.Quote:

Cross have a good bunch of lads there, yer left back who moved up front in the 2nd half looks to have plenty of potential, but too many times ye got involved with the ref, who this season made a point at the beginning of the season to not put up with any crap from players.
Also at one stage one of the cross players ran 20 yards to get involved in hand bags, ye cannot be doing this.
Fitness does not seem to be a problem at all, concentrating on getting the ball down and moving quick and you will be a decent side.
Best of luck for the season
the referee referred to above(i.e. belmullet ref) is undoubtedly the worse referee in the mayo league. :confused:
Thon lad Irishyop sounds like decent fodder for a refereeing course. Do give it some thought. It'll keep ya in the game after you hang up your boots.;)Quote:

Our centre back was sent off following on from the sending off of our right back a few minutes earlier (second bookable offence - another innocous foul). To be honest it didn't really matter at that stage as Valley Rovers stole or were rather gifted the 3 points and they recorded an unlikely victory. Unlikely after the first half hour in which we should have been 3 or 4 up instead of the single goal we were up by.
More chance of me been a "batty boy" :pQuote:

Exactly what was said in the dressing room after the game. We did get over concerned by the ref. The problem was in the quality of our play. Too slow to move and too little touch. We will have to work on it. Hard however to turn GAA players into soccer players overnight.

The mighty Blue Bombers face Castlebar Town in the cup this weekend. Much the same as for the Snugboro game I shan't profer to make a prediction.

kiltimagh/knock do look good this year, but like in ballyvarys case its a shame to see them plying there trade in div2, surely both teams are capable of playing premier div football, wats changed in their clubs in the last two r three years
K+K Utd and Castlebar Town are out of the Cup! :eek:
Erris Utd B are now hot fav for it you would think! :D
