What are the Salthill Devon team like. I know that it would not be a great Westport U-18 team (two defeats to Celtic U-18 B)compared to some of the past teams. Was young Tropey playing, a good player.Any of the U-18's playing with the Senior team for the Connacht Cup.Quote:

Mr. Torpey did play, starting off up front before being brought back to midfield at half time. None of that squad played against Heatmerchants.Quote:

Players are going to have their limits in terms of progression anyway. Progressive coaching would make the players better than if they got no coaching.
The right coaching standards are slowly coming onstream.
Took a peek at the Westport Youth Activities AGM. Pretty constructive and positive meeting. Some interesting points on the indoor football on a Saturday.
Wishing the Youths the best of luck in their new strategy. It would be great if clubs like Ballina, Westport, Ballinrobe, & K&K could compete with Celtic at all age groups not just at one or two. Claremorris are a good example of the way forward. It is not good for Mayo Youth football if the only team to beat is Celtic to win a title. Celtic could win all the leagues in 2006 (have already won U-12, U-14 & U-16) They have also achieved this in 2003.It would be great to have 3 or 4 teams competing in each league and it might stop players wanting to come to Celtic to win trophies.Quote:

Well I hope that projet you talk about building your club house and pitches is on the table.or was it bridges?
Top table remains the same, the gaffer remains for another season and anybody caught writing derogatory posts about Westport United FC will face severe disciplinary action by the club with offenders, found guilty, subject to a life ban from the club and all activities from within. Very interesting motion at the meeting proposed by the PRO and was touched on pretty well by Pat Duffy concerning underage football. Let's rally behind the club!!Quote:

Even he gone to ground.
Good to hear to have sorted yts and juniors committee.
Now you can see where the club is coming from. Westport United has no problems dealing with constructive and coherent criticism. There is free speech and there is a legal remit to what is free speech. Westport United doesn't pursue a policy of supression of opinion but Westport United will act if they feel that the best interests of the club are threatened by innuendo.Quote:

If certain people choose to hide their identity ( E.G no obvious avatar) then their opinion is not that of the clubs........ Yes??Quote:

Anyone free on Sunday for a big game? You can make no mistake in travelling to Claremorris to see Westport United V Claremorris on Sunday at 2:00 in the Mayo U.16 Cup semi final. The winners will take on the winners of Castlebar Celtic and Urlaur United in the final and a possible rematch of the final won by, yours truly!!;) :D
i wasnt at agm and had no intention of going as last time i spoke out i was verbally abused by com. member.i stand behind all ive posted on this site except for the"licking up"coment.im glad to hear i was the main topic of the agm when the junior team had such a bad season i think boc and committee should thank me for taking all the flack off them !!
Who won. Celtic & Urlaur was not played. Won the final but not much more. What is this years U-16 team like. I heard Celtic were lucky to beat them in the league this year, two late goals.Quote:

The reply was not only shocking but disgusting " Because we were Afraid he might be Spotted" said the certain Figure. To add insult to injury the grey one also told O Boyle he Shouldnt sign for a certain Eircom League Club because he would " Find him a better Club". Guess What...... He never did. :mad: So Obviously the plan in celtic is to keep your best players in the (your Quote) " Poor Super League" Thank God He looks now set to Join us in Terryland but it dosent overlook the fact that he may not have been allowed progress for selfish reasons!!Quote:

The reason we want to go U-21 is to give players like ROB a better standard to play in and if some of thes young players get good contracts with Eircom League clubs that would be great. New stepping stone to the UK. I think you see red every time you see Celtic name. Did some Celtic player stand on your toes when you lined out for the Boro or Galway. Cant make out which club you are involved with?Quote:

Now don't let me stand in your way, best of luck in the U-21 (yeah right!):o
The junior team does not make up the club-there are nearly 300 kids involved too. Scoring political points on winning the FAI Junior Cup will not help to bring the club forward to a new level in the future. Past success never won a trophy for any club.Quote:
