@EverydayMUFC22 Fee considered too high = player representatives indicated he preferred City. It's been a while since United have gone toe to toe with other clubs without knowing the outcome beforehand

@Johnsmithmayi @JoeDev579972 @MayoSoccerPod @mayonewssport I don't doubt that (I think all Mayo's sports reporters are pretty good). I just think it might miss the point of the Edeh signing. Thankfully it's a free country where Celtic and Westport players can do what they want to, and Mayo FC can sign anyone who wants to play for them

@MayoSoccerPod Prediction on number of points needed for promotion, and to avoid relegation, in each division

@nonewthing You could go without the first two letters and be more accurate

@Johnsmithmayi @MayoSoccerPod @mayo_soccer Off the top of my head (literally the time between this tweet and my last one), could you not add a playoff if the difference between 1st and 2nd was less than the number of points the A team got in games against their B team?

Probably loads of reasons it won't work but an idea

[Phil Thompson @PTmayocoaching]

@Johnsmithmayi @MayoSoccerPod @mayo_soccer That's why I said get creative, the solution may not be simply just put B teams in the league (I don't have a solution either). That said, currently Celtic B and Westport B would be in the Super League if it was allowed, which reduces the risk of virtual walkovers

I think @seanhudson100 might be overreacting a bit to today's win, what do you reckon @mayo_soccer?

Is the League of Ireland Premier division the lowest scoring league in Europe. 12/13 games in, no team averages over 1.5gpg scored or 2gpg conceded. Leading goalscorer, 6 goals. #LOI

@TheS_Resource Thanks for posting this. There isn't a way to say you guys pointed me to Jen's work when booking on the course, but it seems super interesting so I have done and just wanted to let you guys know.

[Phil Thompson @PTmayocoaching]

Surely you can't be denying a goalscoring opportunity when the forward has already ran past the ball? #AtletiBarça

[Phil Thompson @PTmayocoaching]

@Jenksno1 Last season. Promoted after a league restructure (season before was our first as a team), we expected a tough start to the season, which duly came losing 6 of the 1st 7. Game 8, we're 2 nil up with 10 minutes left and lose 3-2. Next up top of the league...win 4-3 and next 4 games

@MayoSoccerPod "can't provide 2 or 3 weeks notice"

[Phil Thompson @PTmayocoaching]

@MayoSoccerPod Is there any reason why the Mayo League 2 or 3 weeks notice of the planned dates for rescheduled games given they only involve 2 teams and 1 ref? Also, what was the point of the league putting aside specific dates for catch-up games to then force teams to play on different dates?
