on the team of the year id agree with most candidates however cant believe the names not being mentioned. celtic finished second in the division and quite a few of the team that played most of the season with us have gone on to hold their place in the super league team and danny fallon and eoin torpey have just signed for sligo rovers how in gods name can they not be in the team of the year? eamonn crean has been our captain and probably our most consistant performer all year along with the lads already mentioned and the outstanding peter drevins who somebody else has already proposed.one other player i feel deserves a mention is 16 year old james mcgurrin he has come from nowhere this season to establish himself as one of the best full backs in the club through playing for the b team and will certainly be a first team regular next seaon as has already proved his worth in the super league this season.mark towey another teenager at only seventeen has also been promoted from our squad to play regularly at left back for declans first team and should have a big shout to make this team. i may be a little biased towards my club but we finished second and therfore we are the second best team in the division and i feel the players that achieved that should get their deserved recognition

Cheers buddy, hopefully we can get a pitch

I think torphy and fallon are good players but did they play enough games in the premier league to be on the team of the season? If they play games in the super league it doesn't count to this selection. Played 3 times against Celtic B this year but didn't really notice alot outside Drevins and McGurrin. Crean, Torphy and Fallon did not stand out against us anyway, but maybe it was different in other games...obviously the 2 boys impressed enough to make sligo rovers but just didn't see it in our games.

The �small midfielder� you�re on about is Tomas Keane and he�s a class act alright, defensive midfielder with an unreal engine and great balance. His brother, Joe Keane would walk into any team in Mayo in my opinion and should have been in last year�s team of the season as well as this year�s one. Hopefully he�ll get a chance at the Mayo team if he gets watched playing Super league football. I agree with the assessment of James Mc Gurrin, I was impressed with him against us a couple of weeks ago.

yes the tomas keane is a nippy little player that id say would be hard to play against,always making it hard. Joe keane is a big strong defender who rarely misses a header. i can only see james mcgurrin gettin better all the time since he arrived out of no where.

We beat S&F 3-0. How did the Urlar v Swinford game go?

**kingkong** · 13/09/2008, 7:56 PM

ur joking?????

**Kilmore Fan** · 13/09/2008, 7:59 PM

Oh ye of no faith

**Kilmore Fan** · 13/09/2008, 8:10 PM

Welcome to the forum KingKong! What team you with? And yes we really beat S&F 3-0. Did you hear any other results?

**Closed Account** · 13/09/2008, 8:48 PM

Well done Kilmore fan, I believe that victory puts you into the playoff. And consigns Swinford and Urlaur to playoff for safety. Why were S&F off form today? How were your goals scored? Any tips for the Boro?

From what i heard Ye will be playing a different team to what played yesterday against kilmore,no paul fitz,no alan mac,and 4 more first teamers missing..
We had a good win yesterday against should have got 2 or 3 more but we were sloppy in front of goals.Believe ot or not it was the first game all season we had our full team out(due to injuries),our manager even had to leave 2 lads off the sub bench.
Celtic did not do us any favors sending a very young team down to cross and losing 4 nil,we will just have to stay upthe hard way..

**mayomaniac** · 14/09/2008, 11:42 AM

swinford won 3-1 no complaints and were easily the better team

Ya we only started 5 first team players. so yes the team that starts against the boro will be alot different... when are the playoff's to be played? so will the winner of the swinford vs urlaur game, play then in the playoff with the team that finished 3rd highest in division 1??
