I wish some one from Ballina Twn, would come on and explain how they manage to get rid of one of Mayo best Managers, having said that, you wouldn't say he had a bad season, just lost out due to losing to Ballyheane in the league, lost a cup final.
Most clubs would have been happy.But not the hard man Ford, it's alleged that he and nixie had a show down last Sunday, of which nixie lost. but then again whats new!!.
It would not be first time nor the last that he The Hard Man would have his tuppence worth, may be he fancies himselve as the next manager

Its not often we agree but so this is a very rare occasion

. i think all clubs would give their right arm to have him as manager and i think they had quite a succesfull season taking into account the tight squad they have. As for Forde as next Manager........... well he mite have to find some players first

We have been fined as we were not represented at the recent FAI Q + A in Breaffy House recently. Can anyone tell me under which rule book this was aloud to be implimented. The FAI did not force anyone to attend the seminar so why did the league act as School principals and more or less "Blackmail" clubs into attending the function. Obviously another excuse for yo yo's.
Have they a ligitimet right to blackmail clubs into attending clearly External events

**irishyop** · 11/10/2007, 9:13 PM

Its another fine mess el duce has got ya into.It would be true to say that El Duce has lost the run of him self you asked most clubs that did turn out for the meeting, they would tell you,they were there because they would be fined for not turning up.
What I suggest you do,sent the the fine to Pakie Bonnor and ask him is this the way you would treat volunteer's, and send the copy to Charlie Lambert,Mayo Sports partners,and ask them would they approve of el Duce actions.
I think its about time clubs, stood up to so called bullys:

Once again underage players are under the hospice of Mayo Schools Boys,While they may play in there league, It could be challenged,if the junior league had the right to take action against school boys players.
It would be my thinking any action from school boys should be disciplined by its school boy committee.
They have no rules in there rule book to deal with school boys, there rules govern junior players

Is it worth an appeal to Connaught??

First of all This was The F.a.i.Strategic Amateur Review which took place at Breaffy Hse, the only only roll your league had was to imform clubs when and were it take place,ALL Strands of football were ask to get involved so they can produce the future development of the game of soccer.
The F.A.I. in tend to hold 14 such work shops across the country between September & October so they can understand concerns, issues and ideas for improving the game.
It is hoped that the F.A.I. and Genesis will take on board the thoughts ideas and concerns,of all strands of the game.
As regards to El duce stand well only he knows, but having spoken to a senior offical of the Mayo League on your behalf, found it to be unbeliveable.
Mt advice is to ask for meeting with the league failing to get justice then ask Connaught to get involved, failing that then your options would be to go back to those who organise the meeting, The F.a.i.
There no doubt there will be egg on face, if this is not resolved.

This cannot be done unless the Mayo League had advised the clubs they had to attend.You only can get fined for not attending a Mayo League Delegates meeting. Did the ML call a Delegates meeting for the night in question.

wasnt at the game myself but heard that k&f were well deserving of their win over us yesterday.apparantly they have an excellent striker called black i think who tore our defence to shreds when he ran at them-great control and pace.as for ourselves i dont know where it went wrong-hopefully its just a wee blip and we'll be back on track for the game in westport in a few weeks!!

as for shocks however,surely glenisland beating claremorris in claremorris must have been the shock of the round?
