Just looking back at the connaught for the past few weeks and the paper and its sports editor should be ashamed of some of the propaganda it has spewed out in the past few weeks.
Haven't really read it, what have they been saying?
I don't Know why so many of you are getting so upset for, first of all will you read your M.L rule book,
The League has under its own rules the Power to form as many divisions as it wishes.
The secretary J.D. informed you at the A.G.M. 4TH March.
some of you are contented to blame the Chairman more of you The M.L. At what point do you take on the responsibility and deal with the matter. A part from the The Don the rest of you just moan on about it.I have always said action speaks louder than words, so what action are you going to do.
As for my part it doesn't matter how many teams are in each division, what does matter thou are you getting value for money.
I knew all year they were going to be making 8 team divisions, and although I disagree with it as I can't see any way it'll make the standard of football better, I've accepted that its going to happen. As I said earlier, I disagree with the way the Mayo League went about it. There shouldn't of been any ambiguity about how relegation/promotion would be decided at the end of the season. There should of been a press release and correspondence sent out to the clubs. It would of taken less than an hour to do by email.
Its too late to do anything now, the Mayo League have damaged their own reputation in a lot of peoples minds.
I heard that at the last AGM when it was anounced the ML was asked with 8 teams leagues it meant that they would be 25% less games would there the ML fees also decrease by 25% and hen was told emphaticaly no that clubs would save on less refere fees, i dont know the exact fees ML charge but 1 less referee cost is hardly 25% of ML fees.
what is wrong with phaseing it in over 2 seasons????? it makes more sense and gives teams the oppurtunity to fight for promotion/relegation or
SAFE mid table. i think some teams who are forced to get relegated down the divisions might lose some of their best players to a team who either got promoted or stayed where they are. which is goin to possibly make that team drop again the next season or quit altogether. thats on my opinion so dont shout at me!!!!!!!
All clubs were asked to sign up to a clubs association to solve this and other matters and with a common interest for all clubs. Im not going to give figures but suffice to say that it is deeply frustrating and maddening that there are posters on here moaning who belong to clubs who showed no interest in the association and didnt even have the respect to even give it a listen never mind sign up. By this they have shown fear and acceptance of injustice that will only flourish with time. A massive fair play to the clubs and reps who have shown interest, for them I will always have a profound respect.For those who were willing to take it in the rectum then less of your moaning, you have only your selfs to blame!

There it is.......abracadabra ......clone a premier division and hope that nobody notices
'Premier A' & Premier 'B' ?????
Wonder how this will work. Top 2 in each division will play off in a playoff and the top 2 get promoted to Super League??
If thats the case Killala and Conn rangers have just been punished for being promoted
Charlestown, Westport C, Ballina United and Ballyhaunis Town missed out on promotion.
Manulla B, Swinford B and Ballyheane B have been relegated two divisions.
Playoff between Celtic B and K/K United to decide whether you're down 1 or 2 divisions.
I genuinely do feel sorry for Charlestown. 15 wins and a draw from 16 games and still don't get promoted. Thats not value for money.
If it was working that way JP, then why bother with the playoff between Bangor Hibs and Clew Bay. I think the naming of the divisions is just a bit of tautology from the ML but I wouldn't expect to get it cleared up until this time next year.
We had tk last week talking about the high standard and competitive nature of the superleague and then he went on to say how Ballina won 10 on the trot, the very nature of a competitive league is teams dont win 10 games on the trot, can anyone here remember a less competitive season or even one upset of a result.
The case of the Erris player biting someone should not have been reported on until proven. The case of the Ballyheane secretary was just wrong, what a thing to do to somebody. Celtic asked them recently to retract a report when they were named as employers of a person involved in a court case, they refused to do so even though they knew he was employed by the mayo league.
Carefull now or you might get another call
Killala conn rangerspromotion
Well done to both,but maybe this conn can get points on the pitch and not thru the mayo league.no shame!!!!!
What a joke the loosers Killala, Conn Rangers and Charlestown get promoted but dont. This Premier B have they said what is the situation does the top team in each division meet in a play-off or does the top 2 in Premier A get promoted to the Super league bar Westport B been 1 of them or will we have to wait till this time next season to find out the situation.Mayo League Divisions 2011

A couple of seasons ago there was a Div 2A & 2B. Top team from each got promoted and 2nd place teams played a play-off, with the winner playing the 3rd Bottom Team in the Div above. Very messy.
Why could the Mayo League not have come out in April-Sept and not have advised clubs of the magical formula. The guy's who came up with the mathmatical Duckworth Lewis Method of deciding Cricket games got knighted yesterday. I wonder if the geniuses that came up with the very closely guarded formula for deciding the fate of Charlestown, Ballyglass, Manulla B got the call yet?????? Surely it cannot go unrewarded!!
Congrats to JP & tiger and all the Ballinrobe lads on getting promoted. Great turnaround this year. Well deserved.

Yeah could just picture them explaining it. " well all you need is a hat and some names......."
The difference between 2A/2B and Premier A/B is that Div 2A/2B were the bottom division then and which teams played in each division was determined by a draw. With Premier A/B, the teams involved are determined by league position with Premier A being the stronger division. So I can't see them using the aforementioned convoluted promotion system. It wouldn't be logical.(not that that's a deterent).
