I see ballyhaunis lost well again at the weekend, does anyone know what is going on there or why they seem to be struggling? Surely they should be good enough to climb up a few of the divisions? Who do they have in championship and how will they do...??

They seem more likely to be going down if anything

What do you mean The Master, in league or championship?

hillbilly (Mayo) - Posts: 211 - 19/05/2009 15:40:20    287921

the league, they are second or third from bottom. Unbelievable when you think about it. Maybe a stint in junior might do them good. get them interested again

But is league not seperate to championship? I think they will stay in Division 4 this year but the championship looks like it could be tough

yes it is seperate, I meant maybe going down to junior via the championship is what they need to wake them up, judging by their poor league form

We must all realise though that The Master is a major critic of Ballyhaunis. Anytime Ballyhaunis is mentioned he rows in with some snide remarks. How does "The Master" know anything about the levels of interest in the Ballyhaunis team?

Sounds like a pub conversation between a few people with little to do with their time.

League performance should be indexed to championship as well i think , its not fair for the likes of Islandeady to be up near the top of division 3 and still have to play in Junior while ballyhaunis are near the bottom of division4 while playing in intermediate

First off BatigolStatue I dont know what u are talking about with the critic bit.
Second "The Master" is gong on their steady decline in recent years. Yet they are still able to hang on in intermediate, I can only assume that they have some good players but they dont bother for the league and are content to hang on in the championship. Do you believe that im over analyzing and it is just because they are useless?

they will struggle to get out of the group in the c'ship.. Westport and Achill to progress

The reason why i say this Mr Master is that i observed a thread about Ballyhaunis last year (I have a couple of friends from there and have been to a few games) and you were very very critical of them. They are after all only a club team made up of regular players. Yet you seemed very insistent on their uselessness. Reminded me of that Shakespearean quote: "The lady doth protest too much me thinks".
All i'm saying is that i see a thread on Ballyhaunis two days ago, dip in for a look, and here you are again Mr Master. I doubt your from Ballyhaunis. So whats the deal?

"I remember a thread" that totally suits ur argument but has now vanished of course. There was a thread on them last year and I said the same thing im saying now. It seems to me that its based on facts and not just critical for the sake of it. I have commented on many threads, not just balyhaunis threads, that is the idea of the threads isnt it? Maybe if people were more worried about the club instead of witch-hunting conspiricies against them they might be better off.

I have no doubt that you enjoy commenting on threads and that is erfectly fine. But what is it that constantly draws you to Ballyhaunis threads?
And also why the negativity? Did your girlfriend run off with some strapping lad from the Haunis?

I dont no why you are getting on "the Master's" back all he is doing is answering the question put forward to him!
I think that he is right in saying that Ballyhaunis seem to have a lack of interest and a wake up call is needed for some of the players!

DK (Mayo) - Posts: 9 - 21/05/2009 14:48:48    289990

Answering a question as to what are their chances with "I think they will go down this year" is a ridiculous statement. There isnt a hope of them going down.
My question to the Master is why he always jumps in on Ballyhaunis topics when he isnt from there. Yet he also seems to have an affinity for Aghamore. But what do i know!
DK - can you tell me which Ballyhaunis lads have no interest? And on what are you basing that?

Dont ye all know from my threads last year before the Aughamore game that Ballyhaunis are actually known as ``Ballyhahahaunis``in North Mayo.``Ballyhahaunis``put forward a motion last year to change the leagues again!!This was to prevent the beatings they continually get from North Mayo junior teams.The championship debacle against Aughamore last year was typical of their preparation and their ability.By all accounts their efforts last Sunday were lamentable even with their County star on the field.According to my sources Ardnaree were short four of their best players and were far too good for the freefalling ``Ballyhahahaunis``

Trixy, you are a fool of the highest degree, enough said.

hillbilly (Mayo) - Posts: 211 - 21/05/2009 16:53:32    290156

Funny that Trixy cos the only person i have heard saying that is you. But you probably think that your being witty when you come out with stuff like that. Rather than make Ballyhaunis look bad, it just reflects on where you are from yourself. If people are judged on nothing more than their hoganstand comments then you would be a hick. How does that feel Trixy?
