Dykes fancies his chances against Rovers tomorrow.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
That was the gamble Dykes was taking in bringing in so many players. He was looking to that game to get his name up there again. I mean what is it now for Castlebar Celtic. The Super League and the Junior Cup next season. Having said that with capacity at 2,500 for the game yesterday they have taken in a few pound to pay Dykes wages for a few months. From what I hear the players aren't getting all that much but Dykes is doing alrite for himself.

Only just over 1500 people were at the match. Celtic "main boys" were very disappointed with the turn out
Didn't think they was 1500 there to be honest, taught 1100 at most !!!!!Originally Posted by irishyop
Coming back from our game in Swinfordon Saturday evening I heard that tickets were moving quickly from the outlets in Castlebar and there would be a limited number available on Sunday. I didnt go on sunday because I was hoping to walk in on the Sunday. That seems incredible given the word on the tickets but not surprising when it comes to watching an Eircom League Side. While I'm sure the revenue is welcome given the outlay of the club I'm not surprised they are disappointed.

Dykes is only using celtic till something bigger comes along.
i`ve seen this situation before when managers come in and
promise everthing until it comes time to talk money and then
you`ll see what will happen.celtic will be left to pick up the pieces.
Right enough Fairkop. I dont doubt it. He didnt make a great fist at Senior level though. He had to endure a relegation playoff against Finn Harps in his time at Derry City which they survived and look at them under Stephen Kenny. I reckon he'll be waiting a while for the Sligo job aswell. Judging by the wages he's on and the car supplied I still cant see how Castlebar Celtic can sustain it but then again he's done a while there now.

You play very well, very skillful on the wing harpbearComing back from our game in Swinford

Managers who take money from junior clubs are always on
the lookout for the next big job.They have no loyalty,
and it only leads to bitterness in clubs.junior teams are
scraping together to fund their teams from lotto and
a huge amount is being lost to people who have no heart
in the club.I wonder if the people who are gathering this
money are happy with what is going on.
How did westport united get on in the league the weekend?
You play very well, very skillful on the wing harpbear
Did you get your lawn cut yesterday!!!
Here you haven't changed a bit.Still as passionate in the game. Good to catch up with the Swinford boys again. Mike kept pulling the Swinford badge toward me. The result suited youse more than it did us. We're near the top ya know. Great when you can enjoy the game like that. What did ya say to Gill that got both of youse booked. I was ready to get in their for the fistycuffs but sadly it wasn't to be.
We were chatting about the famous Bombers fistycuffs recently. Aah different times.

Judging by the goings on at Finn Harps there may be a job going there for him but they wouldn't have him back and I dont even think Dykes would be so silly to consider it. For anyone who wants to get an idea of the 'crap' associated with Senior football and what they are getting themselves into just take a look at the goings on on the Finn Harps forum at irishfootie.net. The money just isn't coming in, they cant default on a tax payment and the club is torn apart.

I can tell ya at the Bombers we may not have much money but me have a great bunch of people who keep the club afloat with lotto, flag days etc. Were it not for that support we wouldn't have the fantastic facilities we have and the equipment etc. It runs within tight margins but I wouldn't have it any other way because we choose as we know we have to live within our means. You can never forget the people who got you to where you are and this often happens when clubs raise their sights. Its Junior Football after all. I see it in Senior Football where the clubs may forget the community they belong to.

Drew 3-3.

Harpsbear, this is your final warning about the rants. If I get one more report about one of your posts, you're outta here.
Is there a programme of fixtures this weekend in the Mayo League. I dont think we have any. Bank holiday and all that.
Brendan
in the mayo news
Dont wish to harp on what was good or bad about the game on Sunday only to say that it was good for Mayo Football and all those who are involved with the game.
To be fair to Celtic they put alot of hard honest work into making there grounds exceptable to the standards what was required by the F.a.i.
and if nothing else it was agreat day for those who did turn up.
what I did notice on the day was the number of other Mayo Clubs that turned up to suport Celtic. the same could'nt be said about there own town.
everyone no my veiws on dykes felt on the day he lacked the confidance to play 2 up front and paid to much respect to rovers.
I supose his biggest fear was to get beaten by a bigger margin.
For Celtic its back to the drawing board and its up to Dykes to prove he has a future with Celtic?
I think he will see his contract out this year then move on to bigger and better things.
Couple of big cup games today and the weekend in all division cups. any shocks in store?
I see Ballyheane was up against it to night they had to beat 12 men plus have there B team out playing as well how Manualla B team was't out?
would the fixture Sec have any thing to do with it. seem strange as I have notice that there A team and B team don't play at the same time not fair un those in Div 1
