I think that because there is so much football available mid-week, astro-turf leagues etc that younger lads are getting their football here and definitely partying hard at the weekend.
While i am aware that the Masters League has just been concluded. Just wondering does anyone have an idea when the league will start back again??
This is a bit over the top, anyone who wants to play in an astro league over the mayo league isn't taking football serious at all. The leagues are still as competitive as ever.Originally Posted by NoelM
Celtic joining the "higher" level in A league has made the super league less competitive and there is less interest in the super league from celtic fans. I think there will be a turnaround in the SL this year myself. With 4 teams going down it should be very competitive. Whether its competitive at the top or not remains to be seen. Ballina will be strong but I think Westport wont be as strong as last year, although they have a new manager which may breath new life into them.
There seems to be a general apathy out there though at all levels of the game, even youths football. As regards Ballinrobe, there are very healthy numbers attending training with a lot of young players coming through plus injured players are also attending the sessions to watch, so John Moran's resignation was not as a result of any lack of commitment or effort from the players, or from the club for that matter.
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

Can any one tell us the real reason why Moran left, he did the same thing to Swinford a couple of seasons ago and left us without a manager right before the start of the season (it actually turned out to be the best thing that could of happened).
just to put record straight,i had planned to take year out as there is a member off family sick.thought i could manage ballinrobe but the travelling was too much.ive a young family and couldnt give the commitment.there was no problem with players or club,in fact they were brilliant.as to the swinford dig id take winning prem div.over finishing 2nd anyday!!!
This is my point. Why is the interest and passion not there? I think the league needs to sit down with clubs and discuss what they see as key points to improving the league. I think the league does a great job but its kinda loses the point sometimes with all these new daft rules. They should organise a meetingor ask clubs to fill out a Questionnaire with ideas on how to improve the league. from youth up. The lack of interest from players and lack of people wanting to get involved with clubs at committee and youth level will take a shocking hold in Mayo yet i can guarantee. With a recession you would think people would have more time to spare these days but its gone quite the opposite. Some clubs have the finest of facilities in their respective communities and to think that people dont want to get involved in that is beyond belief.
By the way Mayo Red.. Would you happen to be a sligo fan who has an interest in Ballyglass?
Nope, but you're right about the Sligo bit!!By the way Mayo Red.. Would you happen to be a sligo fan who has an interest in Ballyglass?

I can understand why you step down, but to be fair to Ballinrobe you did know this before you took the job. (regards illness) your track record not great apart from staying two seasons with Westport b. you might com firm for the record, were you not happy when the A-team job at Westport came up and you were not considered.
I would be grateful pixiehead if you wouldn't associate or confuse me with that vagabond Mayo Red. He's nothing but troubleThis is my point. Why is the interest and passion not there?

On a serious note, I have been saying this for the past few years that Mayo football could find itself at a crossroads very soon, I do think that there is a problem with committment from not only players but people in general towards their clubs. Alot of clubs have the same faces involved for years with no one to replace them.
As far as sitting down with clubs, this happened a few seasons ago with a workshop, from memory I dont think many of the issues clubs raised were taken on board.
While I agree with the progress made in regard to facilities etc, some of the new criteria for grounds is difficult to understand, i.e. scoreboards, stewards at matches, press boxes etc.
I wonder how many League of Ireland clubs have scoreboards? None in the Showgrounds in Sligo for one.
And is the reason the press dont come out to cover games is because there has been no press boxes?
Think the league needs to look at why teams are struggling to field teams, player drop out rather than trying to introduce more rules about facilities. Mayo are streets ahead of many of our neighbouring counties in this regard, as many of you will know when you play outside the county in Connaught Cup and FAI junior cup

As for Mayo Red I cant make it too easy for you. You'll just have to do more detective work, like I'll have to do myself, just have to keep an eye on the 'Boro this year to see who's wearing the GUFC scarf!! That's if you're not too embarrased to wear it.
Ah you know who I am! Id a spell out there few years back. And if you still cant guess Ill give you a wave when the ball goes past Dick Brush in Terryland this yearLet's just say I've left there more times happy than I've left disappointed!

MAROOOOOOON ARMY!!!!!!
If family members are sick then stepping down is understandable.
Are you some kind of media wannabe or something with the questions? A bit much dont ya think??
How is everyone finding the new Mayo League website?? Are clubs finding it benefecial and will it be maintained throughout the season?
Now I'm relly confused, by any chance would your brother be a Mayo League legend and Spurs fan? Or am I barking up the wrong tree!
Dont be given him a big head now!!
