It's pretty hard to folla!
Sorry for ya cove if ya ask what you can't understand, will try to explain it in the best Queen's English I know.Originally Posted by Proud cove
However must bring it to your attention while we are on spelling the Word is FOLLOW, folla,
now there is word folle (adj) nf voir fou;follement adv;madly, wildly
or folie -madness
the word Folla I am afraid not in the dictionary.
now can we forget you mention spelling and deal with the topic
Now there's something to celebrate! Good luck.
Christ I'm shocked having read the above and the naming of the three Castlebar Celtic supporters who have been banned.I have a feeling the Mayo League will end up with egg on its faces because surely they have over steeped their authority. It is up to Castlebar Celtic to take action against supporters and that is their duty, not the League's.The League can however discipline and punish the club for the behaviour of their supporters. I think the Mayo League may have gone to far in relation to this.
Castlebar Town beat. What a surprise. BBB would need to look out. Divisions 2 could be good next year with BBB , Cbar town and all these other sole team clubs (not b teams). Whats the story with Lacken withdrawal. Who will fill their place.
So its Ballyheane B v Ballyvary Blue Bombers for battle for last spot in Division 1, it should be a good game next Sunday
Ballyheane played really poorly yesterday, probably the worst all season and we were lucky to get the win. Having said that a win is a win and I dont expect to see a proformance like that two weeks running.
Sugar anyhow. Wasn't quite sure how I wanted this to go but I edged toward wanting to meet Castlebar Town. No doubt Colm Gannon will be over to watch us again
Mind you its good to hear Ballyheane played badly.Does this mean they'll call in A team players. A huge weekend for the future of Ballyvary Blue Bombers. Hope its nothing like our last game where Gannon was also in attendance. Sales of the WP were slow in Ballyvary during the week. Thank god I didn't even tog out for that one.
congrats on beating the town and good look against the bombers. I must say i was shocked that ye beat a Town team with a lot of quality in it. But from a reliable source i heard that there is unrest in the camp,seemingly training sessions consist of two laps of the pitch and then a game and this as upset the most senior players and i believe they are crying out for a new manager.One of your lads told me that the keeper moore wasn't even there and played gaelic instead.I've played against this fella twice this season and he was one of their leaders on the pitch and must have been missed.Not taken away from ballyheane -because they missed players aswell that were out due too suspension. But even in div 2 there sould be better quality coaches out there,because Castlebar Town are one of many clubs that are disatisfied with the coaching/management setup. If Town get a new Manager,and keep the squad they have and maybe add a new midfielder and striker to their ranks -well then they will be a very hard team to beat in 2007.
I more enjoy reading these comments than giving my opinion but in relation to the bans the Celtic supporters recieved,im just wondering is this the same Stevie Ryan that has represented Mayo on so many ocasions at underage level? If so,is this the sort of player we pick to advertise Mayo soccer.If i remember rightly he may have captained a few of these Mayos sides. If this is the way one our young players who has been brought up through the Mayo ranks and had the honour of pulling on the green jersey of his county treats the opposition, should we not look at the way our young players are being coached. They say its better to judge a man on how he handles loosing than on how he handles winning - this does not paint a pretty picture for Castlebar Celtic and more importantly Mayo! I was going to say his parents mustn't best pleased,but it seems like hes not the only one not going watching football on a Sunday in his house.
Also congratulations to the Ballinrobe Ladies team on the cup win in Milebush the weekend before last,all the hard work put in paid off,well done girls.
We played both teams this year. Cbar beat us by a goal away and we drew with them at home. With a very understrength team we got hammered by Bheane who also fielded a fair few first teamers. I was still shocked when Bheane beat them. I would have thought that a first team would show more hunger. No offence to Heane I think we would prefer BBB to stay up.
Its not from the wind he took it!!!!!!!!!!
Division 2 play off
To be honest I thought ye were coping quite well in the first half but ye were under fair pressure in the second half. You were a lucky man on the day with one blatant professional foul (yellow card well deserved) and that one that hit you on the line and bounced into the keepers hands could have gone anywhere. Well done, good to see the neighbours doing well and good luck next sunday
The Blue Moon is shining on the world tonight!!!!
Ballyheane only fielded one "first teamer" against you and he was a second half sub. You seem to have problem with b teams, why is that!. Also if BBB are good enough to stay up then I think nobody will begrudge them that.
Thank you very much Don. Will we see you on Sunday then. Massive massive game and form goes out the window on this one.I'll fill you in on all after the game however. Will ya be coming along to see this one. Should be good interest in the game actually.
Fair comment - hope the best team plays in div 1. No problem with Ballyheane B. They have shown consistent form all year. Unfortunately I cant make the match - best of luck to both teams. Our loss to Ballyheane was more down to the poor team we fielded and a stag party the night before. We should not have looked for the challenge. Life in the lower leagues!! Learning curve!
Obviously B teams will benefit from better coaching and exposure to better players in training etc..
Statistics might prove the existence of a problem - too lazy to compile them. It just appears that some teams produce performances from nowhere and indeed have done so all year. How does Snug B beat Urlaur on 9 April by a goal and then lose to them on 2 July by 6 goals. Beat Swinford on 7 May by 3 goals and then lose by 2 goals 8 weeks later. Did they really lose that many players in that period?
If B teams struggle for players ring a few first teamers. How often do we see a B team struggling and out of nowhere they spring this sub who we all know would have started if they were not trying to keep the B players semi-happy with a starting run out. Maybe Ballyheane don't do it but take a reality check if you think it does not happen elsewhere.
As Orwell said 'some pigs are more equal than others'.

Snugboro B neither lost nor gained any players in that period. Performances levels simply dropped. Something that happens to every team at every level.
Grow up
To be fair to Ballyheane they have always been the BTeam with players from there own ranks and at no time during this year or yesteryear relied on A team players.
It has always been there tower of strenght to play from with in.
Next Sunday will prove how far Ballyheane have come or show how far Ballyvary B.B. have declined. I think its more the later rather than Ballyheane improved. How ever these two sides have old history and old memorys should come flooding back.
Last time these two sides met was in a playoff which Ballyvary won on peno's
in Manulla.
this time I think Ballyheane will edge it out. there strenght lies in there defence,with a lot old heads. young guns up top.
Ballyvary on there part have had a poor season and this could have a part to play in lack of confidance.
I read on the local press that Castlebar Celtic are appealing the bans imposed on the supporters to the Mayo League.
If it is the same individual, it is a crying shame that he lets his footballing talent descend to behaviour that cannot be condoned. He needs to look very hard at himself and cop himself on or he will forever be remembered as an outcast to footballing society and I do not think he can afford that to happen.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
