Its always worth a trip up anyhow. I dont see why more people dont support the nearest LOI team anyhow. Then again Mayo is seeping with Armchair Man U Fans

Mr Tony Cosgrove, I salute you!
As for the Knock/Kiltimagh Captain and Manager- You are a credit to your club and your league! Can someone please Name these men?
Its about time there was some positive posts on these threads. i think we should post any similar examples of good refereeing on the general mayo thread. In fact, lets start a positive refs survey! Great to see such sportsmanship and sensible refereeing

if his back was turned he was not in a position to to make a decision,
referees can only make calls on facts,

I'm taking my nephew up in a couple of weeks for his first LoI game. So has Ronan O'Boyle moved to Galway Utd then. I read the same news on the U-21's forum.

1-not having a go at anyone-actually the opposite!
2-Dont see your argument here- i agree with you! Read it again gunner. i said that he can only go by what he has seen- and he did! But he took views from other parties on board regarding the red card, and thats my point.

**couchpotato** · 25/06/2007, 6:54 PM

speaking of referees, i seen mcgrath referee a game recently, and i think he has really copped, seems to understand the players better now, one time you could never talk him, i think e even smiled that day i saw him!!

**irishyop** · 25/06/2007, 9:49 PM

He took charge of the U21 game on Sat evening @ Celtic park, he made a very good job of it in fairness, very anonymous which is where you want refs to be!

Why should we support a LOI team. It's your home team we should be supporting not a team 50 miles away.

Ya but it probably wont be this year if he breaks through to the senior side. But at least they are scouting Mayo for talent

Majority of people support premiership teams not LOI. IE professional sides i am talking about. Nothing to do with local amature Football. Actually i dont even know why i bothered answering that because you'd counter argue everthing id say for the sake of it anyhow. (yawn)

Paranoid or what. The point I was making was if all these adult English club fans went to see their local team play every second week the Mayo clubs would be much stronger. Why should Castlebar people head off to Terryland or the Show Grounds instread of going to Celtic or Conway Park. I agree that I would rather see a Eircom League jerseys wore around the town than a English club one, but above all it would be great to see a Celtic, Boro or Town jersey.

Yes i agree and understand your point but people have and always will follow the Pro Clubs because its all about belonging to somthing big. But to cut our losses its more likley that people would follow the Irish pro league before they would the amatures. And on that point what are celtics plans with regard to ever having a senior side in the LOI or can you divulge a secret or two??

No point. No suppor in the town for a senior Eircom League team.
