Some( a few) clubs have their own astro facilities, but the majority use the astro pitch in the Showgrounds or rent from one of the clubs that have their own astros.Quote:

At that date the nearest was a lad from Ballina UTD on 18 goals.Quote:

Ya and they also passed Glenhest, Urlaur, and Parkside so what is that telling you. Im not having a go at clew bay ive always said there a good footballing side but they have to take a look at that surface regardless of whether they own it or not and they are not the only guilty ones . Thats all Im saying Mitch !Quote:

i thought that this state of the art website was goin to be the way things were going to be communicated from the ML and it was going to be updated on a daily basis
No its not on the Web site, u would think it would be. In the latest news slot there was alot of things happened this season that has not been on it as an example we won the league at the end of August it never apeared in this slot or on the line that roll across the top of the page, not 100% i think there was another division winners who was not congratulated either.Quote:

Since ur so clued up ,there wouldn't have been a playoff had ye not got the points after they beat ye.plus Charlestown are a way better football team than ye.weren't ye tryin to get points this season off some team,next season try and get yer points on the pitch!!!!
i think you will find that we did get very single point this year and got promoted so poor arguement. and i take it you were at a number of our games this year seen as you can judge us as a worse team than ye. or are you basing this on when we played ye nearly 12 months ago?Quote:

so i'am i right in sayin that it will be a play-off between the top 2 teams in both premier div to see who gets to the Super lge !
So what happens the teams coming down from the super lge??, if one team goes up from each div after the play-off, who decides what div the teams from the super lge go into ?? if that is the case its not a transparent system.
At least ur admitting that ye begged the mayo league for the points last season, only for that ye wouldn't be where ye are.and ye tried to get points off some Team this season but it didn't work for ye!but any way yer happy to get points this way!everyone no's yer manager is well in with the mayo league!!!!absolutly no shame!
sour grapes anyone.?settle down poker. ye broke da rules and were rightly punished,end of story , please don't bring up this boring arguement again because everyone is tired of hearing it. enjoy division 1 next year :P
Just so long as ye no how ye got there.and will every one else.ye should be embarrassed!!
ok gud lad,bed timeQuote:

hard luck to bangor though its a very tough way to get relegated but the best team won on the day
ya hard luck celtic, good side, tough game.not happy with set up wish we new at start of season
The joke continues. Players are invited for trials next Sunday for oscar team. Pity most players are playing Connaught Cup:confused:
Saw that in the connaught, who do they think is goin to turn up? seen as its more or less for the lower leagues!!!
Wheres the joke? None of the top teams are playing in the connaught cup till round 3. If he wants the best panel and people that want to play for Mayo then open invitation is the best option. Hopefully the best players from each club show up and he gets that :ball:Quote:

Usual predictable stuff and a predictable short run in the cup as a result.Quote:

Again i would suggest those who feel hard done by dont just talk and have their say with the organisation. Changes for the better can be made if the clubs have a voice.
latest idea from the idiots at mayo league top table,knowing that they have created a mess by reducing the divisions to 8 teams meaning all teams willl only have 14 league games and probably only 16 games in whole season,they think we should play each other three times in the league now, as has happened many times in the past teams have drawn each other in the divisional cup and on occasion in the mayo cup,could ya imagine playing a team 5 times in one season,ya might even be lucky enough to have to travel to iorras or kilmore 4 times in one season(now that something to look forward ta,better buy an overnight bag)and as a follow up to the quaility of mayo super league mr tom kelly wrote a piece a number of weeks back in telegraph about there been nothing wrong with quailty in the super league seen as ballina had dropped so little points over the season ans still needed to win on last day of season to win league title, i wonder had this 8 team division idea the full backing of the committee or just select few.
I have to agree with a previous poster here that this is only a token gesture and an insult to most mayo league clubs and the players,Any manager knows what players he needs or is looking at for his squad or at least he should know.in my eyes the squad is more or less picked,The gesture to send players in for a trial match is not really fair.The reason I say this is that the manager should know what players are out there.It will be primarily made up of Ballina and westport players"thats if the westport lads play".It will be intresting to see how many players actually are picked from sundays trial.I will hasten a guess at 1.Its only an exercise to keep all the other mayo league clubs happy and that is not really fair as a lot of those teams have Cup matches at the weekend.Quote:

This would be foolish to think, after giving the reason was so you would pay less on cost.
any feedback on the mayo trials from yesterday? did any clubs on here send players out to it?
Giggs went up from our club did not hear any word on how he got on, he had wonderful season scoing 24 goals played underage for Mayo league.Quote:

Im sure that BK wont be going round the grounds next weekend as Ballina will be in FAI action and after that they will have Connaught cup action, So when will these players be assesed??? another lie from the governing body and im sure that if players turned up for trial last sunday they were most likely from Conn Rangers, Kilalla and Claremorris as these clubs had bye's in the cup. This I have no problem with and fair play if some of those guys get on and progress in the squad but im sure other teams would have liked to have their players acknowleged and assesed. will there be another "open" day or will the token gesture just be confined to those who turned up last sunday?
On another note is there rumbelings that Westport players will not make themselves available for selection over the Westport v Ballina debacle and the stag party members who couldn't get the game postponed. I'm sure it will be hard to give service to a league who virtually ended their season by not postponing "that" game.
Ya its goin to be interesting to see what players will say, if they are asked to join the panel. The westport players will be a huge loss if the decide not to play. The clubs will also have to make a choice when the dinner dance comes round. Will all clubs attend as normal or will they use it to make a point.
anyone have shield draw

Looks like the hirearchy are offering to meet with the club delegates. I wonder is this to justfy their decision and push their intention to stand their ground or would there be any chnce of hoping for them to listen and abolish this farcical structure for 2011??
Very much doubt it, i think this meeting is to see how the new league will be run, do clubs play each other 2 or 3 times aseason.Quote:

Did they drop the number of teams to have less games or improve the standard?
What is going to happen is the teams who got relegated will lose players to the bigger teams as they have a taste of the top flight and don`t want to be scrapping to get back up and this will lead to weaker clubs getting poorer and top teams getting stronger which will lead to a bigger divide,this has happened to other leagues around the country.
would have to agree with portside. way things going it will improve the standard, only cos as you say, players will go to the bigger clubs. beginning to think that the ml's ploy is to reduce the number of clubs involved. if they can fall from existence by silly fines, this surely must eradicate some.
