I think it is time you called a halt to your comments Reno. Looking at all the various posts, people are fed up of your attacks on Celtic and any others that you disagree with. (Opinions are one thing, but character assassination is another). Keep it to football matters on the field.

The question would be, was the player requested, encouraged or influenced unfairly or improperly to approach their parents/guardians to seek a transfer to another team or participate in any training, coaching or games under the auspices of another team? If the answer to that is "no", then this "poaching" allegation must be scrubbed. The other lads that were listed came through the ranks and I know a number of them. It would be wise to move on.

Don't want to think any player was poached, lets face up to the fact that it goes on, there are people in clubs making the call wealther you agree or not but it must cross your mind as to how some of these players end up at other clubs.

Hail to the AIB Cup winners 2006, Westport United after defeating Castlebar Celtic 2-0 in the final with Cam and Dessie netting. Dave Horkan got the Man of the Match award. Game was overshadowed by Gerry Bourke's injury and the club extends a get well message to him.

Yes, well done to Westport Utd - they fully deserved their win. It was a much improved performance from last Sunday's game. The pitch in Milebush suited them well. It didn't appear as if Celtic wanted the game after Gerry Bourke's unfortunate injury. Let's all hope that Gerry recovers fully.

The FAI Junior Cup starts for Westport on Sunday. We are away to S&F United and what is your thoughts on this game? Will the real Westport that beat Celtic turn up or will it be the limp Westport that preceded that? Likely 11 (not my 11) is Dave Hoban, Colin Navin, Eoghan McHale, Brendan O'Connor, Joe Lawless, David Cameron, Danny Scahill, Brian Fahy, Gerry McLoughlin, Vinny O'Malley, Dessie O'Malley. Anyone beg to differ?

Some very tough underage games this weekend for the club. The U.12s are away to Salthill Devon, the U.14s are away to Skyvalley Rovers and the U.16s are at home to Mervue United.

Have not heard anything as of yet - is this the guy who left S&F then went to Celtic and then disappeared? Is he another unwanted mercenary? Regardless of the Celtic thing (which I can't fathom) he would be a welcome addition. Saw him play a few games last year and he is strong, fast, skilful and lethal - perfect for a side who plays ball like us.

Good player but his head is not right
