We play them next out there. What can be done?

Also, mayo.fai has got to get back up and running.

did anyone notice that c/bar celtic were given 3 matches at home on sunday 1@ 12 & 2 @3 o cl plus the u/17's playing quarter finals of fai cup.somebody in the mayo fai must like them.??????p.s.big well done to fahyforever on his post. Face it, media in our part of the world leaves a lot to be desired. The answer would be to give the match reporting jobs to someone who understands and enjoys football, and can write, rather than someone who would prefer to be eating doughnuts and watching Countdown. As for their pre-season predictions, I can only presume they close their eyes, take out a needle, and proceed to make Pr#cks of themselves..maybe someone from the c.t.,m.n.or w.p.should give him a job.!

Actually Celtic first three home games are away from home as punishment for the crowd trouble at the Cup final last season

Manualla were at home in that one, Castlebar very short on players, not making excuses or anything!!!

I think that when the U-21 league starts up Celtic are going to be even shorter on players for the first team. I wonder will they regret telling players to go over the last two seasons when this happens.

joe butler is no longer working with the mayo league and he was the man responsible for keeping mayo.fai up to date-and in fairness to him he did a great job with it.hopefully somebody else from the mayo league take up the mantle and keep it up to date as it was and still can be a great site

I just couldn't help but laugh when I read of the shortage of players at Celtic but I can see how it would happen. Just so strange to hear it with so many players signed. Some 90 in total I believe.

Strange result on Sunday. Manulla too

.

Might I wish you the best of luck for the coming season however yop.

Gentleman Harpsbear, wishing ye the same!!

It is mad alright that Sunday turned out the way it did, but you don't have 90 players available all the time, but sure it will give the rest of us a chance to prove ourselves!!!

**swinfordfc** · 03/04/2007, 1:57 PM

It was hard with the under 17's playing in Cork!
The C team are pretty good, young side but ye need a keeper and fast ....

**Ranger** · 03/04/2007, 2:00 PM

With the demise of the Mayo/Fai website, any chance of clubs putting up a report of their games on here. For example on www.swinfordfc.ie I came across a good report (on a template) of their B fixture on their site, nothing for the A team fixture though. Maybe the Mayo league should hold a workshop for all club P.R.O's ( and it's own for that matter!!). I'm sure Tom Kelly, Padraig Burns, and the other scribes could also give their input on what info they see as important when giving reports.From Junior down to the under 8's in every club they all like to read about themselves,their achievements and performances on and off the field. A good PRO is the best recruitment officer for any club.The PR for the Mayo league and also the Youths and schoolboys League is a shambles at the moment and the sooner the league acts on this the better. The Internet is a powerful tool as everyone here knows, as is the local papers.The Mayo league and the Mayo Youths Leagues admin do not seem to realise this though.

He is a good keeper but problem is that when the keeper makes a mistake he doesnt get away with it, rest of us can fubar and someone else clean up the mistakes!!

I understood that all Superleague Clubs where to have have their pitch inspected before the season starts and both the league and Erris where to Blame for this. Cows in a field in winter wouldnt have caused the damaged to the surface i can guarentee that when this pitch drys out this week you would be safer in a Cambodian Mine Field . honestly a Rugby game would have been Called off on it. You would want to see it to believe it. SHAME ON ERRIS

"Cambodian Mine Field"- brilliant! Clearly explains the 6-0 defeat????

Well congrats mamoore. I think you should be nominated for The Mayo Person of the Year award for your contribution to soccer in the Castlebar region. With Glenisland in trouble why dont you sign for them and see how you can help them get back on their feet like you did for the town. I'm sorry but I cant get over your arrogance to think of yourself as some sort of Messiah. As for your winning attitude that you have I doubt you have won too much with the clubs that you have,(which is it, saved? or played for?)
