Since i was on here last we have played 2 league games and 1 cup game. In the league we lost to Castlebar Celtic B on the Astraturf pitch disgrace having to play them on that pitch in the middle of summer and the A team just after coming off it. Then we played Fahy Rovers in the cup semifinal which we won 2-1, goals by Maximus and Iano and great defensive display seen us through to the final against Westport B.
Then we lost 0-2 to Claremorris last weekend no complaints best team won.
We have chance of revenge this weekend away to Celtic B in the Premier cup, hopefully it will be on the main pitch.
I asked a question on the laws of the game must be 6 weeks ago but still no answer, its to do with one of our referee's who are supposed to be going through the FAI referee school of excellence.
Heard a disturbing news last week that it is alleged that one of the ML referee's was caught smoking dope at a college match he was reffing, it will be interesting will the Mayo referee society take any action.

Good to see you back Roundy!!
On the pitch, things are not great around Mount Falcon alright

but that's expected with the step up to super league. Apart from that all other teams are competing well.
The debate about Celtic's astro pitch goes on and on - don't think anything will change though. They seem to have turned a corner and will be stronger for the rest of the season.
That was a good result against Fahy as I've always thought they were a decent side. Don't know too much about Claremorris but they must be okay to be up at the top of the table.
Interesting to see your comments about our referees as I heard the same jist of a story about referee at a local match, it may well be the same instance.
As regards Mayo referee society taking any action, don't think so as that is a closed shop.

Welcome back P.M. Are you lost this is Premier A thread not the Super league thread.
We had a good win in the Connacht Premier cup away to Castlebar Celtic B on Sat. evening, 1-2 on there main pitch. Hesitation in the Celtic defence led to Terp to disposes the defender to score, had a number of other chances to increase the lead. Celtic equalised when a good cross put away, had a couple of good chances to score, with the game looking set to be going to ET, a shot by Sandji rebounded off the post for Giggs to put away the rebound. A good win with 3 first team players and 5 other regulars all missing. Tough match away to unbeaten Glenhest on Sunday.

Not lost, just felt you were calling me out so i said id better let you know that the KING is back

**achillrover** · 16/07/2015, 9:21 AM

Obv not Premier A news (not yet anyway) but just a quick shout out to our boys and their performances so far. 1 point of top in the "B", meanest attack in our league so far and tightest defence, a cup final against the Haunis Sunday week, and into the last 8 for FAI/AVIVA club of the year.

That and the Glenhest stopper is one of ours and only conceded 2 goals all season...... the ***** (love ya really hoy!)

Mayo Premier Cup QF
Conn Rangers B 3 - 2 Killala after ET
This game was decided by 2 shocking decisions by the referee, first when he awarded a penalty when our full back clearly got the ball, the shot hit the post then our keeper saved the first shot but the second was scored. Giggs scored 2 good goals, with the game destined for penalties the ref. from 20 or 30 yards out deemed a the ball crossed the line. A Charlestown player and a ex-CR manager both said that the ball had not been over the line. Probably CR was the best team but when it came to penos anything could have happen. Good luck to them in the SF.
it was a disappointing end to a great weekend of celebrating our 40th birthday of the club. Great to see players from the past and the future with 7 players from the 70's playing.
Next weekend hopefully we will have a better performance and better luck against Westport Utd. B.

I don't talk about refs decisions because Anyting is possible from Amateur refs in my opinion.... Was disappointed with Killala had the strongest killala team I've seen out on a pitch but didn't seem to gel properly or else weren't up for match...hopefully ye get it together sunday and win the cup we lost on penos last summer... Best of luck Killala

Can you please explain your claim that we are delusional, yes we had a great start to the season winning the first 4 matches, then our manager left and we had a lot of injuries, thankfully our youths players stepped up and we are safe. Thankfully the lad that scored the winner yesterday stayed with the club after you tried to get him to sign for your club a couple of years a ago.
