That is a point alright, I did notice in the 1st game we played against him that once the centre back got tight to him he was nullified, great turn but when he is played right he may not have enough up his sleave to get around them.

Best of luck to him anyway, will give a man a reason to keep an eye on Galway United this season.

If I'm way off the mark at least you can call me consistent.

Ashtray on a motorbike? Hope you were'nt up all night thinking of that one...ancient.

No I dont think I'll give you the "final word" on this.

Fact: Westport team of 2005 was the best footballing side I have seen play from Mayo.

Fiction: Every other team are so called "hoofers". Not more than 10 yrs ago I remember playing a westport team which employed a long ball tactic at every opportunity.

Fact: I dont know where you can get off on calling other teams "hackers" give me a couple of examples of this and I will apoligise. Westports disciplinary record is no better or no worse than most in the league.

Fiction: Teams in the league go out of their way to play dirty against Westport. The two major disciplinary incidents which occured last year involved Westport.

Fact: Sticks and stones will break my bones.......

Fiction: That name calling will somehow reinforce your point. Left that in the schoolyard years ago!.

And before some BH apologist or other makes the counter argument that Westport also has been known to attract players from outside, well we'v never said we've the smallest catchement area around.
And in relation to the facilities issue I just wish some people would keep their uninformed opinions to themselves. Gnasher is right, it's not our fault we live in the part of Mayo where it is most expensive to buy land. I know for a fact that the club has recognised the need for more facilities and it is actively doing something about it. But it's not as easy as it is in rural parts of the county, I'd ask anyone who thinks it is to try for themselves. And by the way, the pitches in Ballhyeane are not exactly billiard table like and what's the big deal with astro turf pitches anyway; they're alright for a kickabout after work but for serious footballers? You've got to be joking.

Dont know why ye are hell bent on starting something between Ballyheane & Westport. Anyway land in Wesport has not always been at a premium price, this is a more recent developent and are Wesport not one of Mayos oldest clubs so why in all these years have they not been able to sort out a permenant home for themselves. Nobody is claiming the Ballyheane, Manulla, Ballyglass have the best pitchs in the world, rather that at least these clubs are trying to progress their facilities at every oppourtunity. By the way just because somebody disagrees with you it does not make them "uninformed".

Fact: I dont know where you can get off on calling other teams "hackers" give me a couple of examples of this and I will apoligise. Westports disciplinary record is no better or no worse than most in the league. - NEVER IMPLIED THAT - DO YOU WATCH MANY GAMES? SOME SHOULD BE OVER 18's

Fiction: Teams in the league go out of their way to play dirty against Westport. The two major disciplinary incidents which occured last year involved Westport. - HA, Not breaking peoples legs and standing up to a foul mouthed half drunk fishead - GIVE ME A BREAK WILL YA

Fact: Sticks and stones will break my bones....... - WHAT?

Fiction: That name calling will somehow reinforce your point. Left that in the schoolyard years ago!.

- MOTHER OF GOD, I'M ALMOST SUICIDAL.

And we're not starting anything between BH and Westport - there's enough rivalry already.

Can you detect 'chest bashing' in that Reno? - jesus we put up with your crap dont we? he's just making a point.

And before you get all worked up - I could'nt care less whether we're the ugly old granny, or the fine young niece of any football fraternity.

Shh.
