its a big ask off ye,whatever about robe and celtic b,westport will be a tough assignment and also they'll need the points for the league,having said that ye have shown great form in the last 6 or 7 league games so ya never know,alarm bells i hear are ringing in ballinrobe and i'm sure they'll get back on track with a win over S and F,be some finish tho if ballinrobe are visiting ye just four points ahead!

i guess were jus happy the b in the shake up, at the start of the year thought we mite go down, westportb havent ever beatin us, so we hope it goes to a final day of season jus for the craic and banter wel have with them, but sumthin tells me theyl have it wrapped up by then

Hey lads, not been online in a while and thought I might give my tuppence-hapenny worth on the season. I know this will sound very biased but I think that with their full squad Fahy are the best team in the division. The result against Bangor wasn't a shock to me in the slightest. We lost three games in a row early in the season which effectively lost us a promotion chance and in those games we were without our keeper (David Feehan, who has been outstanding since his return) and best player (Joe Keane, who absolutely has to make team of the season, being head-and-shoulders over every other back in the division). In those three matche we conceded 12 goals. We have only conceded 11 in the last eight games. I know every team has injuries and has to deal with them, but I honestly feel we lost it ourselves.

As for the others, Westport were the best team I saw, and deserve to win the league in my opinion. they play by far the nicest football in the division and have a good mix of young players and more experienced ones. Chris Ryder impressed me a lot last time I saw him and I think he can realistically break into the first team soon. I never watched Bangor and so can't really comment but I hear their striker is a handfull. Ballinrobe were under par the first time we played them but will surely beat S+F to gain promotion.
No offence to either team, but I still struggleto see them stay up in the Super League without serious recruitment. It's been a good season though, in that it's come down to the wire. Best of luck to all involved in the last few games.

your right its completely biased!i'm sure westport,bangor and ballinrobe would all think that they would have won the league ages ago if not for injuries and players returning and so on!welcome to the world of football its not scripted!!!Best teams usually finish first and definately not fourth!not 5 or 7 points off getting caught in a relegation battle!!!fahy are nothing more then a mid table premier division outfit!i do agree with ya on one thing,whoever goes up super this year is going back down

Celtic B lost 2-0 to Fahy, had a good first half a lot of chances which should have been taken but Fahy took over and deserved their win.

Robe, what were ye at? Fahy are screaming down your neck now

s&f were way to strong for the robe according to the supporters, s&f took charge from the start and had it under control right through. it seems that s&f had there strongest team out all year. they might have had a different season if they had that team out all year.

still looking like the robe are going up. but cant see them lasting or bangor. there just not good enough.

**the grape vine** · 25/09/2007, 12:57 PM

anyone any toughts on the second team to go down, looks like achill already gone!!! its pretty tight !!

**irishyop** · 25/09/2007, 1:12 PM

We wud want to get the finger out, 2 points off the drop now, have Swinford and then Achill

**Allornothing** · 26/09/2007, 7:38 AM

Id say Ballyglass to go down with Achill they got Bangor and Manulla left cant see them winning either. I was talking to Swinfod about there 4-0 loss to Manulla and they were missing half the first team. I think they'll pull through but they got tough games against Cbar & Ballinrobe. Whats everone else think.

**r.rover** · 26/09/2007, 8:58 AM

i hope swinford have their full team for last day of the season!!! and beat robe(no offence robe) but ya know how it is...
that ways if we beat ye and even draw with wport b (i tink!)wer up! havin said that, im sure itl b a good game this sunday against ye!

**irishyop** · 26/09/2007, 9:00 AM

Where is that match on Sunday, what games have ye left now?

**r.rover** · 26/09/2007, 9:06 AM

**irishyop** · 26/09/2007, 9:14 AM

**r.rover** · 26/09/2007, 9:17 AM

i'd have to agree with the general consensus that it has to be achill and ballyglass.neither were up to much all year and look to have a serious rebuilding job on their hands to even think about a promotion push back to the premier.hopefully we won't be round in the division to play them!

whats the word on the grapevine in the ballinrobe camp jp?is it true that we're down to play yee in the sportspark on sunday next?heard that yee had a lot of suspensions when yee played straide last sunday-any truth in that?huge game sunday between ourselves and ballinrobe-how do people see it going??

may i ask where you heard this information regarding the match not being played on the astro turf??

as for last sunday, yes we were missing two players due to suspension but no excuses, we played very poorly as we have been the last couple of games,
we are missing a number of players on sunday including myself so we will be doing well to even field a team one would think.
