its a tough job that no one seems to want to do, i agree that maybe new ref should be given more time at youth level but i think the fact it that there is not a huge amount of refs out there so they hav to be used at senior level maybe before there time. Why are people saying the standard has dropped in all leagues? is this a phase the mayo league is goin through or are the young players that are comin through not as bothered about it, play a game when is suits and if they have anything else on the football comes last...

"Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy which sustained him through temporary periods of joy."
This has been bugging me but nobody brought it up and because I can't play football this year it hasn't really bothered me, but.... Why aren't people making a big deal of relegation this year. Granted, 4 teams get relegated from the "Super" this year, which is fine, everyone loves the "Super" League. God this is difficult to explain, if only i had a diagraM....
Premier:
Anyway so they want 8 team leagues. so in the Premier, they have 10 teams, but 2 get promoted making 8, but 4 get relegated from the Super making 12, and two get promoted from the the 1st division making 14..... Which means if you want an 8 team division then 6 teams get relegated..... out of 10. Tough
Division 1:
Anyway so they want 8 team leagues. so in Division 1 they have 10 teams, but 2 get promoted making 8, but 6 get relegated from the Premier making 14, and two get promoted from the the 2nd division making 16..... Which means if you want an 8 team division then 8 teams get relegated..... out of 10. Rough(You either win it, get promoted, or relegated)
Division 2:
Anyway so they want 8 team leagues. so in Division 2 they have 10 teams, but 2 get promoted making 8, but 8 get relegated from the Premier making 16, and two get promoted from the the 3rd division making 18..... Which means if you want an 8 team division then 10 teams get relegated..... out of 10. Thats impossible! That means the winners and runners up of the league both get promoted and relegated! That doesn't make a lick of sense, I don't want to even think about it! Thats barbaric, so if, Charlestown, win the league they'll have a shiny trophy to bring home, a night out, maybe some cheap pussy based on it etc, but next season they'll be in Division 3 or Division 1 who knows. Nice.
Division 3: Well your'll all fcked. Division 4 no matter what......

Joe, this is just the point I made before the season started but it has not been made clear by the League exactly what they are goin to do. Can't believe more clubs don't seem bothered about it as the lower division clubs really are not playing for anything this season.Now thats the season is about to begin, does anyone know how many teams are goin to be relegated/promoted from each division. I know four are being relegated from SuperLeague and two promoted from Premier Division but after that its not very clear. If they want to reduce each Division to 8 teams next season then six teams will have to be relegated from Premier and eight from first Division. Is this the way its goin to be or was anything decided upon yet?
I have yet to hear a valid reason for the change, apart from the Mayo League being obsessed with their constantly changing image and re-branding. It's a heap of ****.
No obsession on my part rava but I am fed up looking at the negative comments on an ongoing basis about referees, Mayo league. If people are unhappy with the crowd running football in Mayo then they should do something about it or otherwise .... ..
I am more interested in positive matters and discussing football matters, to which I am returning now.
Well done Ballina youths and hard luck to Charlestown in their attempts to bring back a trophy to Mayo.
None of us like concentrating on the negative, but some of us are getting very worried about the game at senior level which is basically in freefall, with low numbers week in week out, refs with not enough experience making game changing errors in important games and more senior figures within the game growing disillusioned with it all. Now if you want to pick the positives out of that be my guest. Now we have another issue that Joe has raised lurking over the clubs, I can only imagine how many people will call it a day if they relegate 6 teams from some of the divisions.
Relegate everybody and just have one massive league that goes on for 2 seasons...its the only answer!!!Anarchy in the Mayo league.......
]Ok lets do a straw poll to see who agrees/disagrees with the restructuring of the league]
I checked the Mayo league website and they dont say anything about the relegation and promotion in each division, they leave the competation rules blank. I used to get the fixture booklets every season and it used outline in them the ups and downs in each division. I dont know is there a booklet for this season, i have heard about the 8 team divisions but i dont know if these proposels are facts or just proposels. I think it is about time the Mayo league came out and set the clubs straight on this matter. As for these proposels i cant see the point so i say No. and I believe most clubs will say the same.
Huge No. It's stupid and unnecessary.
