Our first team played the first half thats all. Some of the squad are ripping the pizz at the mo. Full time pro's no heart and being pampered to the last. Stories of some of them out on the beer are starting to emerge

is this a mayo league page r galway united page??? c'mon guys galway have their own page. celtic under 21's won 1-0 to a poor longford team last nite, celtic could have had the game wrapped up after first half hour, large crowd from castlebar there cheerin on the lads, great to seea nd well deserved of the team. at times played some serious football. overall not great but a win is a win!

**the dude** · 08/08/2007, 2:40 PM

the league is back this weekend. how do ye reckon the games will go

**irishyop** · 08/08/2007, 3:42 PM

both sections in Div 2 are wide open, up to 3 teams can win the respective sections.

Premier, up to Bangor to keep the momentum and win it, Brobe may have just sh1t the kaks, but still open.

Super League - Ballinas to lose now, time will tell, but they would be sick to lose it now so far into the season

**theboy** · 08/08/2007, 4:14 PM

Anyone have a list of the suspensions handed out by the Mayo league last month?

Two great wins in three days with so many players missing due to holidays & injury. It now shows the stenght in dept at the club at the moment (yes we have a number of players from other clubs, but at least they are playing at a higher standard of football with a Mayo club) and with a very good U-16 team been put together at the moment the conveyor belt continues.

Don't know about strenght in depth, its a strenght in depth available to the U21 team, when it comes to the B or C team there are now 3 or 4 players having to play for both teams, at one occasion on the same day.

It is great to see the U21 team doing well, but cherry picking the lads and not releasing the guys who dont get a game to the B or C team does nothing to motivate the players on these 2 squads.

Div 2a & b wide open. Erris & Ballina will top each group and the other two spots will go down to the wire. Celtic C are looking for their 6th league win in a row. Can they turn Swinford B over thsi time after two defeats?

Premier Div all over with Hibs & 'Robe to go up. To go down hard to say.

SL: Westport if they can reach 80% of their true form. Ballina will need Duffy to carry them over the line. I must say that Nicks had done a wonderful job with the town especially when he has no youths to work with. I did think that the Town would not have a chance in winning the SP but I could be eating my words. It would be great to see the Town win the SL

**Cloggs** · 10/08/2007, 6:58 PM

Ballina vs Snugboro Home
Ballyheane vs Westport Away
Celtic vs Erris Draw
Crossmolina vs Manulla Manulla
Glenhest vs Claremorris Draw

some big games this weekend-westport really need to take all three points off ballyheane but their record there in recent years isnt the best.at the other end of the table glenhest and claremorris is a real six pointer.if glenhest fail to win they're surely as good as gone

Yes I see your point but as far as I am aware that a number of these players were not signed junior and this has since be resolved. I do know that their should be more understanding show by the A & U21 management to the B team and if this happened it would make everyone's life much easier. This issue is a problem in a number of clubs and it seems to be an issue in Celtic under a number of managers over the years.

**irishyop** · 12/08/2007, 10:50 PM

Sorry Frank, I personally know nothing about Div 1 so no point in me commenting!!

Sorry Frank no Celtic team involved so no interest or knowledge.

O'Boyle V O'Boyle tonite in Celtic Park, who wins you decide

Celtic V Galway United @ 7.45pm should be a good game not unless ye want to stay inside and watch Fair City

**gazza2** · 14/08/2007, 10:57 AM

Big match the weekend with Westport Utd taking on Ballina Town in what looks like a great game with a lot at stake in the Super League.

Yes, Galway Utd were most definitely the better side. It appeared as if their substitutes were equally as good as those starting the game. All the players were of a similar quality, and the side should do well in the U 21 League. Celtic had problems all over the pitch but young Curry did very well when introduced.

**irishyop** · 15/08/2007, 8:04 AM

A different level for sure, Galway were top notch.

**threefivetwo** · 15/08/2007, 12:43 PM

compare the average age of both teams, celtic will have much the same team 4 the next 3 years!!!!!! galway were the better team but if celtic had taken some of their chances in the first half it wud have been a different game. the celtic players have been playin flat out 4 the last few years without a break, ya can't expect them 2 play evry game like they have been over da last few years. give them a chance everyone needs a bit of a break!!! it's a learning process!!!!
