Sounds like the words of a green eyed monster to me? Stevie said he's not getting paid and I believe him. Celtic didn't offer him any coaching positions at all. It'll be an interesting season whatever happens. Alan English will be in charge of the B Team. Come on the Boro

Not at all. It will great to have a strong Boro and make castlebar a hot bed of Football. Regarding the payments just asking for the truth. It will be interesting to see how many ex Celtic players will be lining out for the Boro next season. From what I hear quite a lot. Best of luck with the new management team.

As the secretary of snugboro Football Club i can tell you that no one is getting anything from the Club funds Bar Declan Killkelly who will act as a external coach. I wish to God CT that we were paying them as that would mean we actually had Money!! As a committe we have always maintained a No pay stance primarily because our New grounds have not been fully paid for and development is continuing. We the committee have employed Yohan Collins and his Management team where not spoken of on the night he was interviewed. Now wheither people want to take my word for this is up to them . I have been patient enough to to explain our situation when the bottom line is that its no one business. I cant be fairer then that

On a personal Level i am deeply unhappy with what will ultimatley result in our club becoming the "graveyard for disgruntled Hoops" . I am well aware that the club has not got enough Quailty at the moment to stay in the Super league however these appointments will no doubtably lead to an influx of Celtic (and Other) players who have zero allegance to Snugboro F.C and only to number one. I would much rather see my club playing in the lower leagues with a community spirit enveloping the lads who have served us well through Good times and Bad rather than a club of "Super Stars" who didnt make it at Pavillion Road. I have the Upmost Respect For Collins, Gavin , Damo and Dec and they know this, but i do not invisage the same future which will without doubt Rip the Heart out of Who Snugboro F.C are and abate the Zeal upon which our Club was made. Because of this i will not be standing for election As secretary in the coming weeks. Im aware im strongly in the minority but as ive stressed before this is not a professional league. I know for a fact people at Celtic where not Happy when this occured there and its for the same reasons that im off on this rant. Im Boro through and through and of the mind that we look after our own. However Very soon we wont have "our own"

Fair enough. Just advised by a very good source that DB & SG are getting money. I know DB will not be involved unless he is getting paid. Must be JC company funding these two and not the club directly as you have confirmed.

Well said, as you have mentioned a number of Celtic people are still unhappy with GD and the number of players he has signed for the club. You should re think your position as there are very few true clubmen left. Its now 'what the club can do for me and not what we can do for the club'. Yes this new management team will bring success to the Boro but at what cost. Look at all the players that have played for Celtic over the years, and how many are involved now once they have stopped playing. I do agree that the Boro community spirit (a real plus that Celtic has lost many years ago) will be lost due to so many new players coming in for a couple of season and will only be concerned if they get a game or not. But the success might compensate for this? Best of luck to a real clubman.

Is The Prodical Son forgiven then?

The shoe must be on the other foot, When did rumours or bull sh1t bother you,
You are always happy to spread muck when it suited

Heard nothing concrete, but the talk is that JC has put up 20k of his own money towards running the team at the Boro? Some say money available for paying players, but I could not see the Boro allowing this. I wish we had a JC at Celtic, fair play to him.

Four clubs have officially graduated to eircom League of Ireland status ahead of the new 'A Championship Division' due to get under way next year.
The quartet accepted to the A Championship are; Mervue United, Tullamore Town, Salthill Devon and Sporting Fingal.
The new league will be the third tier of the eircom League of Ireland where clubs will get the opportunity to win promotion to the First Division. League winners will earn �20,000.
"We are delighted to welcome four new clubs into the league," said Fran Gavin, Director of the eircom League of Ireland. "The A Championship was introduced to improve both player and club pathway into the eircom League of Ireland and we feel that it is a very important step forward for the league.
"There is now a clear route into the eircom League of Ireland for clubs with ambitions of playing in the league, something that did not exist before."
June 2008 is the start date for the new league, while a shield competition will begin in March.

How close were Celtic to being one of these Clubs. Why didn't they make it. Have they made provisions to be included in the forthcoming years. I'd love to see Celtic make strides towards the Eircom League, believe it or not but I'm a Castlebar Celtic fan.

I dont think they applied. Entering the U-20 Eircom League. Should have applied as Junior football in Mayo is rubbish and getting worse.
