Mayo Division 2 2009

[Fish-Head]

Heard a reliable boro commitee member said early this week that this game wouldn't be played this weekend....... and as for giving up home advantage , its not like your going to get 20,000 screeming supporters at any game is it....... catch a grip. If ye wanted to play this game it could have been played simple as ..... why not leave it till later afternoon before writing it off??? Its obvious that there were some other factors from where we are standing. Some of your lads turned up while our guys were there and they were shocked that the pitch was deemed unplayable.

OH good man yourself, one would tend to forget that if you say something it must be fact!

Would you like to ammend the constitution while you're at it?

[murphs jewels]

as you said that the same ref was down to ref in the afternoon so he wouldnt ba available for it to be re-fixed during the day.
You wouldnt give up home advantage for such a crucial game no matter what you say, simple as....
plus whatever dusty tells ya committee members dont call off games. its up to the ref and im sure the ref wants a bit of extra money so he wouldnt want to call it off. from what i hear the boro had a full strenght squad for this game, never mind the A team as they have nothing to play for and wouldnt take any of the B teams starting 11 only there fringe players if they were needed to make up numbers.just play it next week and stop being such a winge just because you had to get up early

Bit brave to mention someone who never said a word i think ..... you better get your facts straight before you put names up on a public forum me thinks. Plus abother fact is that the ref down for this game was not the "official" who decided the pitch was unplayable. Seems you need to do a little research before you go talking about things you know nothing about and bringing innocent personell into it . Seems like its you whose on the "fringes" of your club

Glenisland 0 Cross Celtic 1, typical end of season match with very little to play for.

settle down - why dont you blame your guys for casting you 6 points earlier in the season and stop trying to cause an fight on here - sort out your own house before coming on here ....... then i might listen to ya .....

oh another point - the westport v snugboro a team game was call off ....

not confusing you with anyone kid. big man up front

Me thinks that the replayed Snug v Chastown match next week, will be a feisty affair....on the sidelines!!!..... a draw not much good for either now.

All still in melting pot now after Villa's win today...must make them hot favourites though?? a win and draw from last two games will be enough....Tough battle for promotion place.....could well be a play off?

was at the game. scrappy enough but villa held out and prob deserved the win in the end. Ye should fancy ypur chances against them as i heard some of them saying after the game that they can only play players registered before the original fixture... is that true?

Quaility!!!

How childish.

Ive been following Mayo football for a long time and have been a long time fan of this Forum and can only say that if it wasn't for Murphs Jewels this thread would be dead. The only time there is any banter or chat on here is whenever he makes it happen.

Iv'e sat back all season reading the comments from all parties and iv'e come to the conclusion that there must be at least 5 Snugboro posters who have nothing to do with their time and no one else to talk to unless he gets up their nose.

I'm not saying he's right by the way but all I am saying is that this thread would be the most boring thing on this forum and you can tell that since he went quiet the whole thing moved about 3 pages once everyone had their pound of flesh.
But I would like him to clear up the Charlestown mess once and for all and maybe then everyone can put the whole thing behind them and get back to talking football instead of meaningless arguments.

Its sad really sad. And I dont want either side comming back saying its only banter because its not and you can tell its not due to all the deleated posts.

I see there is a meeting next week with MWR re getting better coverage of soccer in Mayo.
Ironic that a local paper published inaccurate info today in respect of Div 2, saying that Moy Villa need a point from final game, when in fact they have 2 games left...and need 4 points to guarantee the Title. The League table published is also incorrect. Presumably they get their info from the league?

I think the whole beef with MWR though maybe justified is a bit one dimentional. If MWR are to come in for critisism then the league has to look at the Mayo Advertiser and the Mayo News. The devotion of the Mayo news to GAA is almost sickly while the advertiser should just stop embarrasing itself with its minute hear say it borrowed off the earlier in the week rags. You have to commend the Con-tele for their coverage ,however if Tom Kelly wasnt a Soccer man would they too be in the mix? Im sure they would! Thus the media as a whole should be pin pointed for a ear twisting.

Maybe the thread might be dead but theres no need for him to start talking complete rubbish. thats why the 5 snugboro heads answer him bach when we know hes wrong, which we are entitled to do.

As Murphs Jewels is gone now we should have no more stupid arguments or theories so it should be back talking about football.

Big game the weekend. between Snug and Ctown. hard to call but ill go for an 8 nil win for the boro

I aint gone nowhere pal ....... but i love your prediction

Just to clear some things up. All players on Charlestowns books have played with this club since underage. It is at our request that the fixtures are posponed due to names submitted to the mayo league and them in turn asking us not to play certain players. We have asked for our games to be postponed until all matters are resolved and not be forced to play without a full squad. Once again i invite anybody to view our registeration books for the last number of years and see its the same players year in year out

This is my first post reguarding the leagues position and Charlestowns subsiquint points deduction and all the above facts remain true today.

From what I understand 4 names were submitted to the ML for investigation and 2 were cleared with 1 under review and 1 guilty. The points deduction was for registeration with a club in the Sligo league. Charlestown club and manager were not found to have any involvement and were absolved of all blame or wrong doing and the Team were deducted the points for playing illegal players. From talking to the commitee and management it is clear that they had no inclination of the player playing in the Sligo league and when registration came about for the 09 season all players re-registered as they have done in the past. No one was asked if they had played in an external league because its been the same group for the 5 years and im sure as with 100's of other clubs the existing players re-registered and any new players were vetted as to their previous clubs.

Now i also know that the Charlestown manager has spoken to almost every manager in the division since the incident and im sure that they have informed players also but the general feeling is that what happened (although illegal) was not end of the world stuff. Fact of the matter was a player registered for a Sligo club to play during the winter months and keep fit he was not playing for Sligo Rovers but a club like ourselves in the lower divisions. I am not condoning what he did but the team has been the same for the last 5 years (apart for 4 or 5 new recruits) and it was not like suggested here that the club brought in players from the Sligo League.

Hope this clears some things up

Thanks for clearing that up Murphs,
I think everyone knew the situation anyway because as you've said, the Charlestown manager made it clear to anyone. Back n the game seems to be the only one out of the loop. But I can't seem to understand what he's complaining about.

He praises you for starting discussions but gives out to the Snugboro lads for replying, seemingly he wants a forum where you start topics and no one replies. Anyway, I believe the deleted posts were a different issue, and nobody has any problem with Murphs Jewels. Welcome to the Forum Back n the game, nice to have another Charlestown head in here....

Think he was siding with the underdog . Not to sure he's one of ours tho, although it would be nice to have some back up against the "5" boro lads

[purplemonkeydis]
