With all due respect,
I've seen many a thread like this escalate into "flame wars" that once started out with "bits of harmless slagging" type posts.Only 1's posts have prompted people to P.M me complaints about his post syle/manner and I have to say that I find myself in agreement on the whole about his contribution to this site.

I'm anything but a kill-joy I assure you, but my brief is to try and keep threads on topic and to head off any possible problem situations ..........
before they occur.


btw,prefer Moro;)

Little bit of a damp squib meeting. One man, not affected by the U21 situation, was an obvious plant to ask questions about the whole situation. Again, very little in the way of constructive discussion, nice tribute to the late Mary Walsh,decent financial statement (books are well kept), but I'm afraid that clubs will be told how the U21 situation is to be improved because not one delegate could see beyond their own set up.
Whose resignation were you looking for?
If clubs could concentrate on improving their own set up, then the whole Mayo soccer scene would improve (mind pennies, pounds take care of themselves!).
And what's with the local partnership? Looks positive, but who's really behind it?If it's being put togeather on the level it looks like a very good step.

So this weekend games Crossmolina to beat Ballinrobe and Charlestown to win promotion match. :D

not sure swinford fc,ballinrobe beat them twice already this year in the league and i fancy them to end their season beating them 3rd time 2-0!!!rumour has it gerry burke back for final!ya definately charlestown tho

but I'm afraid that clubs will be told how the U21 situation is to be improved because not one delegate could see beyond their own set up.

I personally dont see the point with the under 21 team, players are already past their sale by date at this stage and even if they do go to a higher level its more than likely to be into the eircom league if they are lucky. I think its time the league sat back and maybe looked at alternative ways of improving the quality of its players. Perhaps taking the current coachs employed by the u-21 team and using them at younger age groups ?.

Would It Be Fair To Say That Eircom League Under 21 Teams Are Established Competitive Teams Built From An Introduction Of Players From Possibly 14 Years Of Age Up And Developed Within Their Clubs. Would It Make More Sense To Adapt The Same Policy In Mayo And Work Towards An Under 21 Team Rather Than Try And Put Together One Each Season.

With regards to some forumites looking for resignations, it is really up to the clubs to sound out prospective individuals and call for a motion of no confidence in the members that they see fit for the bullet. Anyways, Pat Quigley wouldn't exactly be quaking in his boots reading foot.ie (he probably never, ever read it.)

Heard on the grapevine that Westport United are going to get a Mayo People of the Year award for winning the FAI Junior Cup. Congrats to all involved in that particular club if the story is true.

thunderblaster - you are right in what you have stated.it is up to clubs to make more of an impression in to the representation of the feelings of what is the most important raw material of the club --- the players. it is not totally a case for looking for resignations for the sake of it, there is an apparent discontentment with the mayo league committee both on the outside and obviously on the evidence of this season, the inside of it, thus the question is, of all the clubs in mayo, why is the motions of no confidence proposed.manfred was correct in saying that clubs should concentrate on their own set up, but who exactly is the mayo league representing, i always assumed that they were the umbrella orgainsation for all clubs within mayo, to ensure every club was given the equal opportunity to prosper and develop.excuse me if i appear to be old fashioned in my perception of this idea, but lets face it, the mayo league are not building fast enough on the successess of teams such as westport, castlebar and others as well as the small clubs within the league. maybe pat quigley does not read this forum but i am sure he is pretty well informed of the topics discussed.

The clubs in the League have spent the last ten years concentrating on their "set up". It is time however to show the results of this and I feel that a u-21 side is not the right vehicle to showcase up and coming talent. Top professional teams DO NOT watch eircom u-21 league fixtures to find the stars of tomorrow.

Define top professional teams! Are they British teams or Shelbourne, Cork City and Bohemians? Surely some players are assessed and the better ones would be recommended to an Eircom League senior club. They are hardly playing under 21 just for the sake of a Saturday afternoon kickabout.

does anyone know why the s & f utd and charlestown game was called off

waterlogged pitch i think...

Lads
it was genisland utd against charlestown not s + f utd

If the game was to be in Milebush, the pitch was in not too bad of a condition after the Crossmolina Ballinrobe game. There was a torrential downpour during the first half of the game on sunday but it seemed to dry up pretty quickly later on.

Best of luck to Leo Tierney and the Mayo squad in next Sunday's 1st Round Oscar Traynor Cup tie versus the Donegal League at Milebush. Mayo look strong this year with the Westport players on board, and will be challenging strongly to get to the latter stages of the competition. It would be great to see a big crowd at Milebush, and supoort the players.

heard that the charlestown v s&f Utd 'b' promotion/relegation game is down for this sunday in swinford. apparently milebush was deemed unplayable after the crossmolina v ballinrobe game.

Absolutely, after all the debacles with U21 teams and squads it'll be nice to see the real cream of the Mayo League take the field for a meaningful competition. Although, lets get the ball rolling with some debate on the squad.

On the 'Port side I see from the Mayo News that 'Lovejoy' is in the squad (about bleedin time!), and that Danny Scahill is not (he's only the best box to box midfielder in the county - DOH!). So what's up with the selectors.

That said, I'm basing my post on the report in the paper and who am I to challenge the media - everything they say is gospel.

Ah sorry boys, I forgot all these (:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ) at the end of that last post
