Mayo Dream Team

**swift** · 30/11/2005, 1:43 AM

I just thought it would be interesting if we picked a "Dream Team" from Mayo over the last ten years. I know it will be controversal but this is my team:

1. James Larkin(Straide and Foxford Utd.)
2. Martin Neary(Straide and Foxford Utd.)
3. Andy Neary(Straide and Foxford Utd.)
4. John Kenny(Straide and Foxford Utd.)
5. Kieran Murphy(Castlebar Celtic)
6. Fergal Forde(Ballina Town)
7. Danny Scahill(Westport Utd.)
8. Dave Cameron(Westport Utd.)
9. Johnny Jordan(Straide and Foxford Utd.)
10. Kevin Ryan(Castlebar Celtic)
11. Keith Bourke(Castlebar Celtic)

12. Martin Vahey(Ballyglass)
13. Eric Reilly(Erris Utd)
14. Sean Reilly(Castlebar Celtic)
15. Joe Lawless(Westport Utd.)
16. Damien Ansboro(Manulla)

Now I know that people wont agree with me but I just picked players that in that position were I think the best. See what ye think

i would say that westport would have a lot to say about their small amount in the team.
after all they must be the best team in mayo in the last decade because of their fai win albeit in extremely controversial circumstances !

Headerball ten years ago Westport were in the second division of the Mayo League so I dont know where you are coming from. Westport are a massive team dont get me wrong but the players I selected on my Dream Team were based on performances over ten years or so. Also the Westport players I picked are the best in their position, ten years ago some of the lads were playing U-16 so I could not pick them

listen gnasher, i'm sure its all been said before but i don't have the time to trawl through all posts ! i was simply stating a fact which was in relation to the so called dream team selection.
i think you need to realise that whenever any trophy is won in controversial circumstances it is going to be brought up every so often.
if westport retain the cup this year then i'll have to applaud them but i am certain they won't !

I have realized that fact, what's controversial about playing by the rules? What would you have done? Are you some omnipotent honest John making good the mistakes of the past? The FAI made the mistake of not changing their rules in time, get on to Merrion Square with your gripe.
If you were not prepared to review the posts then you are making assumptions about it, which is not very clever.
You are entitled to your opinion about this year, but you can't take away the fact that we hold the trophy.

I think, over a ten year period from 95 to this year, the dream team selection was spot on. More than half the westport squad were playing under 12 football in 95 so he's spot on in my book.

You should read my post a bit more careful, the only word i have used to describe their win is controversial which is by no means being presumptious !
im sure every last person connected with junior soccer will tell you that it was the most controversial fai win in history, please note i am again only using the word contoversial which clearly indicates that i am not attributing blame to anyone.
i think my friend you are the one with the hang up about it which clearly indicates that it does not sit well with you !

I don't think that U.12 football in 1995 has any relevance to the post. It is aimed at junior footballers from 1995 to present.

If people are going to base it over a ten year period, then it is reasonable that Westport don't have as many as they would if you picked the best eleven currently playing. They are a young team and it is only in the last couple of years, they have started to show there quality AT JUNIOR LEVEL.

As peoples opinions are always going to be different, on such a topic, I think people should post there own selection, and reasons why.

Not why someone shouldn't be on someone elses selection.

I don't see enough of ML football to pick a team.
