Mr G Dykes's promise to Celtic Board of two cups from 3 competitionss -CON Cup, FAI Cup& Super League looks in danger now! Value for money or what?
Other Kellygate!
Was ''The Fox'' not hounded from his position in the MAFL for allegedely giving info to a newspaper? What's the difference when Mr T Kelly publishes confidential voting lists to all and sundry and puts his name to it?
Expulsion or a prolonged suspension?

well lads
can someone shed some light on whats going on up there. Is there an appeal against castlebar over some player
I was referring to the subtle difference in that a legal player becomes illegal if he see's red in a competitive game and has to serve a suspension vis a vis a player who was never legal in the first place.
Pipe, smoke , put that in!
bottom line gnasher is that players are either legal or not irrespective of whether or not they actually became illegal or were always illegal.
watch it there your pipe is filling up you might get burned !
Celtic illegal ? Probably not although the CFA man, Kennedy, has a bee in his bonnet about the LMC and El Duce in particular He may be a hard man to shake off as he contends that if you cannot play in domestic then how can you possibly play external !! Dont think he's right though
The U21 will now become the Mayo League's MAASTRICT insofar that if a vote is not to the LMC liking they vote again until is is. Sounds like an extract from "Roots" Whats your name boy ? ****e Kinty Sir. No its Toby boy. Now whats your name ? etc (Those of you old enough will understand I hope)
Well overall a good yera on the pitch with the port being brillant, Celtic going Proffesional and Manulla getting another Favourite Ref ! (I know he did not officiate against Athrenry but instead a Manulla employee did, Evergreen Anyone !!!!!!!!!l )
Happy Christmas to you Manfred. You have a wonderfull sense of humour - well I hope it was humour !!
Mossy, I can safely say I'm too young to recognise the reference but I get the idea. If the vote the last night went 12-10 to the League, would the dissenting clubs be allowed to get onto those who were not there to have another vote? Me thinks not.
The League should not have put such a vote to the clubs blindly thinking that there was nothing wrong this year.
Quigley admitted as much afterwards.
But there will be little to stop another vote on a different proposal so its no harm to look at what could or shouldn't be done.
One plan would appear to be to lengthen the Super League season to avoid direct clashes between the u-21's and the Super League. This is good in theory but a number of things have to be ok.
Firstly, the league has to be staggered in such a way as that there is not a big gap between the first 90% of games and the final few matches where disinterest will creep in for those clubs out of the equation.
I think the best plan is have six or so games played before the start of the under 21, that is by June. Don't play any more or teams could lose interest.
When the u-21 starts then you can have Super League rounds every second week. If there are clashes, and remember only three or four clubs will be involved, the other weekends or midweek can be used for postponements.
The key is flexibility on the League's behalf and if you have the dates free you will be able to be flexible. By the start of September the u-21 should be over and you should have five or so full rounds left with the outstanding games played by this stage.
This way you should be able to have a solid start to the season, a structured middle with a game at least every two weeks (not including cup games) and a good run into the the title in September and October which will also aid Oscar Traynor and Junior Cup preparation.
Some of these dates will overlap, ie Oscar Traynor will be played before the League is over, but so what, there is no panic until even November in finishing. Most places in the country have nine month seasons, why be so restricted here?
This, of course, is on the presumption that a vote will be swung by the League in favour of the U-21. All favours will be called in. IE: 'Lads remember that FAI money ye got, well now its payback time. Vote for Quigley...'
What do ye think?

Ha Ha. I get the picture now, but we're both right so happy christmas.
Good year all round for soccer in Mayo (anyone disagree?), let's hope we get more thrills, spills, and bellyaches next year.
By the way Mossy, class Roots ref. took me back to my days as a slave.
Manfred, Eric, Swinford, The DON, Renovater, Unbiased, Oscar, have a good one. Drink like hell and don't drive.
Thanks for the wishes and sound words of advice and may I also wish everyone a happy christmas and an extremely successful 2006.
Not going dwelling on the u21 situation, but the clubs appears to made at fault for the whole thing or maybe i am misinterpreting words and print.As far as i am can see each and every club in mayo has personnel and players devoted to their clubs and the mayo league in general and want to see the very best for players even if they go further in the sport outside their club.it is not the clubs that let down the u21's, no-one wants to see teams fold up particularly at county level, but the whole structure from the fai / eircom league down to the clubs has to be looked at involving the mayo league committee. the mafl should make every effort to meet with each mayo club, outline aims, proposals, suggestions, etc, not alone for u21's but for the benefit of each club and league for the season. delegates or any other sort of combined meeting, especially when it seems some clubs do be cut-off from comment abruptly at times, is not going to sort out anything in the long term, time has to be spent with every club, everyone dedicated club member and player deserves that opportunity. everyone in this forum obviously is dedicated to soccer in mayo, this is clearly apparent, in attendance of some at games, meetings, etc and deserves a huge recognition for the contribution made. thought provoking ideas and comments combined with lively debates in the proper hands would see a huge change in operations in 2006.
straight talk
Just let me clear one or two points first of all the provincial Council is Connaught if there is a doubt of the eligibility or qualification they Connaught shall rule and there decision is final.
However you may appeal the decision to the F.A.I.
So Noel does have a point
Regards to what the fox said in local news papers if it was in favour of the league he would still me in El Duce clutches
Oscar a lot what you are saying is what most people would have no problem with, only those who sit on the top table. The league is only interested in grants not clubs, you are right extend the season and allow players to play both. Is what Joe Butler presented to the clubs as know as duel registration?
This is a time of year when we say good will to all men even Manfred and El Duce, despite there faults, its there policies we don’t agree with so everyone from gnasher to mossy have a peaceful and happy Christmas from the Renovator looking forward to the New Year to continue the campaign in promoting junior football
i was talking to a Castlebar man to nite he say's there is but he is not happy with two more League of ireland players joinning the club
straight talk
Just food for thought League of Ireland sides won't be clashing against there U-21 'S ARE playing they would change the fixture
once again Merry Christmas to all yee thread bearers
Happy christmas to one and all. Let 2006 be filled with fun , cheer & of course football. The Heane for super League. Now there's a dream.
if your over my way I can arrange a viewing!
Now there's a thought, the Mayo League 'Make A Wish' foundation!
Lads, (and ladies)
Happy Xmas and a great new 2006.
Swinfordfc
Merry Christmas To One And All!
hi all
hope everyone had an enjoyable, and safe christmas. best wishes to all for 2006 and particularly to all mayo teams still involved in connacht and fai cup.
Dublin club Sheffic Utd lodged appeal against Castlebar Celtic against they keeper Kelly. this situation is a joke, what is the story with him?
Happy new year to all.
The festivities are coming to end the turkey bones given to the cats so all is left are to go back to football.
Well if you were following my threads you would have seen that I was hinting there was trouble in the horizon for Celtic Players not just Mr Kelly there are others.
Let me spell it out for you Mr Kennedy made it quite clear to Celtic in writing this player is not cleared to play in junior competition Rule 42 of the F.A.I. is not been adhered to. Remember he has been guided by the same body in his decision making.
Despite the noses coming from Celtic, they have taken there guidance from the Mayo League, “I ask who is the provincial body is it Connaught or Mayo League” whilst The F.AI. Noted M.L. decision they never rule on it, because the Celtic appeal wasn’t base on the eligibility of Kelly.
I still feel that the Sheriff Appeal will fail because there protest wasn’t related to his status as in rule 4 or a professional player playing in junior competition as in rule 42
Their protest is base on his registration. The player was registered by M.L. but what rules did he adhere to?
Only El Duce can answer that one.
Cheers Renovater
