| Thank you for all your comments about volunteer work around the club. The website message board is intended for information and fun, and I know everyone will be keen to use it in ways which support the club. Where people have particular concerns they should bring these to the attention of the committee, or better still join the committee so they can influence decisions made. Where people wish to use the website to encourage others to support club events, this is very welcome. | |||

| Does anyone in the committee have a fixture list for the reserve season ahead as we can really do well this year as long as its run correctly. We could also do with a another pre season game or two after last nights good run out in Silverbridge. | |||

| I LOVE READING OUR MSG BOARD FROM TIME TO TIME, WERE A GREAT CLUB FOR PATTING EACH OTHER ON THE BACK, BUT FOR WHAT? WEVE DONE NOTHING FOR A FEW YEARS. SURE, WE ALL TRAIN HARD (WHEN WE BOTHER 2 GO 2 TRAINING) THEN WE GIVE UP 2 EASILY IN GAMES. WEVE GOT 2 MANY TALKERS AND NOT ENOUGH DO'ERS. 2 MANY LADS GO MISSING FOR 2 R 3 SEASONS AND THEN SHOW UP AGAIN AND 2 MAKE MATTERS WORSE WE HAVE THE GUTS OF A 1ST 15 STILL LIVING AROUNG NEWRY WHO DONT PLAY FOR THEIR CLUB ANYMORE AT ALL. ITS ALL DOWN 2 PLAYERS AT THE END OF THE DAY AND WE NEED EVERY MITCHELS PLAYER 2 GET THE FINGER OUT NEXT SEASON, STOP MAKING EXCUSES, BLAMING EVERY1 ELSE, AND WORK R BALLS OFF 2 GET AWAY FROM WERE WEVE BEEN 4 THE LAST FEW YEARS! THATS MY WEE RANT FINISHED! UP THE MITCHELS! | |||

| Sounds quite coincidental sean o' neil talking about never wanting to leave the Mitchels and being proud to be a Mitchels man. Lets take this in context when Sean was a Mitchels man they were the best senior team in down, recently though they have become one of the poorest senior football clubs in down, letting some of their best players walk, internal disputes and poor leadership and organisation from the very top. How could you blame a good footballer at the club wanting to further his footballing career. Cathal made great speech on Mitchels being nearly men the fact of the matter is with this current bunch and the current youth coaching setup, most of whom have never played at a senior level (hayes and co), how is the club ever going to produce quality? The fact of the matter is during the course of the eighties and late nineties the club had talented senior panels not in great depts but talented, but due to the lack of structure and having dedicated people at the HELM these panels have self destructed. The Truth PS How did Mc Coy get on the team of the eighties? | |||

| CAN I SAY I DONT AGREE WITH EVERYTHING IN THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE.fIRSTLY SEAN ONEIL PLAYED FOR A GREAT TEAM NOT A GREAT CLUB.IF IT WAS A GREAT CLUB THEN WE WOULD NOT BE STRUGGLING SO MUCH NOW.I NEVER HEARD THE SPEECH IN FACT I HAVE NOT BEEN AT THE DINNER DANCE IN THREE YEARS.REGARDING CATHALS INCLUSION IN THE TEAM OF THE 86-96 ERA, WELL I PLAYED AT THE SAME TIME AND ACTUALLY THIS WAS WHEN THE CLUB WAS AT ITS LOWEST IN MY OPINION AND FROM AT LEAST 1990 TO 1998 THE CLUB STRUGGLED AND ACTUALLY I THINK CATHAL AND MARTY DURKAN SHARED THE PLAYER OF THE YEAR BETWEEN THEM A LOT OF THEM YEARS.AS FOR THE TEAM HE WAS WITH AT THE BLACK TIE EVENT THEY NEVER PLAYED THEM YEARS.IN FACT MARTY LYNCH LEFT I THINK IN 1985-86.I PLAYED WITH CATHAL MARTY,MANNY, RAYMIE MATHERS,DESSIE CAMPBELL (JESUS) AND NONE OF THEM PLAYERS WERE THERE.)KIERAN RUDDY CAME AND WENT) THAT IS WHY I WAS DISSAPOINTED THE TEAM OF 86-96 WAS NOT PICKED ON THE BASIS OF THE ACTUAL PLAYERS THAT PLAYED MOST OF THAT DECADE (BECAUSE WE WERENT GOOD ENOUGH IN THEIR EYES) BUT TO THE MERCENARIES WHO CAME AND WENT. CATHAL MCCOY AND THE OTHER PLAYERS WHO ACTUALLY PLAYED THAT DECADE DESERVE THE AWARD BECAUSE THEY WERE THE BEST THAT DECADE NOT THE OTHER PLAYERS. | |||

| we are getting carried away lads, lets look at the stats. yes we have drew 2 and won 1 in our last 3 games which is great but our forward line bar Poucher is not clicking. There are too many players not scoring. I dont care what anyone says if your not scoring as a froward your not doing your job. more shooting needed at training and hey fair play to the defence on top in last 3 games well done lads | |||

| lads some big games coming up.. we need to win our home games no reason why we cant win our next 3 home games.. ardglass/carryduff/saul.. that will take us to the magical 10 points which assures 30% and then we can push for mid table.. hopefully our injuries will clear up quickly soon.. we r running out of quality defenders | |||

| 2 games played over wkd and over 30 players used altogether. enough said i think. we all know its a squad game now. moral is good and football is nt bad neither. might be some forwards are lacking confidence but its also good to see old heads like mccaul, boyle and price can still turn it on. | |||

| Hi Seniors, I was at the Dinner dance and Cal mccoys right are the Mitchels going to go on as nearly men? I dont want to join a load of lads who dont want to win. I think some of you boys are to into the soccer.Whats the point in playing if you dont at least give it a go.Us minors could teach you about commitment.By the way give the Bazza a chance.I mean a bigger chance! | |||

| well done to all the players who got awards there the other nite, some other players need a mention as well like conny, crow, kenny murphy, ross, niggels. these lads also worked hard weather it was at training sessions all year or matchs, or even both. Congratulations to Cormac Sweeney on winning the ranafast cup with st colmans, this is a major reward for Cormac and it reflects all his hard work with the mitchels and st colmans. Well Done | |||

| i agree with the comment about the match reports, it would be a great benefit to have match reports not only would it add an extra perk to the website but it would allow members who are not able to attend games to read about matchs and support their club. i was on mayobridges clubs website and they even show veido footage of their matchs, the bridge are leading the way by far in the county not only with football but with their website also. lets take a leaf out of their book and improve are website it might even improve our football since everyone will be reading how the lads are playing!! | |||

| It is very interesting to see all the comments regarding not enough advertising, promotion etc. I would like to remind people this is their club! We are all volunteers and some of these moaners should get off their high horse and start doing some work to help the club.It is sad these days to see so many players get such help, support, best management, physios, meals, nights organised and not one of them would think of helping out in other aspects of the club. How many of you helped at the blitz? How many of you even went? How many of you help with underage football? How many of you have not even paid your membership? Think about it before you moan! | |||

| There are rumours that Mitchels delayed Stephen's transfer when he laft us. The truth is that Saval apparently turned down Stephen's request to join them the first year. It was debated at their AGM before being passed. This was nothing to do with Mitchels. Mitchels didn't delay the transfer at all. Please make sure people know this and deal with these harmful rumours. | |||

| Lads i have listened to a lot of boys talking about not going to division 4, however at training on wed night it showed that nost of us are all talk. there was 8 at trainning on wed night of which 3 were first team players. I would like to thank boyler and cooney for turning up and also the 4 reserve players but lads we need more of the first team players there. its fantastic that the reserve players turned up but they dont have the quality to get us through the play offs. Lads lets put it in for a couple of weeks. | |||

| A quick response to a comment made on your message board by snowball. He is giving stick to some of out lads about frequenting the fine establishment that is the Dolce Vita! I think the lads in question are simply aware of the importance of carb loading before a big game and taking their dietary guidelines very seriously. If snowball wasn't staking out in the Dolce Vita himself, ( only because Jamesie was out of chicken balls ) or crawling out of the Windmill Bar most weekends, he might discover that there are more carbs in a pizza than in 10 pints of carlsberg!!! The earywig strikes!! | |||

| not to sure about the rebuilding comments of a new team, to take a step back and try to rebuild will be a major task in div4, especially when trying to do this with minor players who had a worse season than the seniors. if the current team or any future team is going to start up and rebuild then div 3 should not be seen as too difficult to do so. there is good enough players and management, maybe a few more supports and club members to take an instrest could help all are teams from underage right up..... | |||

| im not too sure about forgetting about the appeal i belive we owe it till the players and management staff at least to push the appeal on their behalf, this year was far from being a success, but there was many players who worked very hard all year and not just for the seniors but reserves and minors also. the work that has been put in by the management team that marty has built up over the past two years should also be taken into account, as we should so appreciation for their hard work and dediciation as well. just giving up and letting the club drop till div 4 should not be seen as an option, we as a club should only be looking forward and build from there. also seeing the numbers involved in the senior setup over the last few years, they have been up and down like a yoyo, although marty has kept a steadier ship compared till other managers there is still major room for improvement. That is why we should not be turning anyone away, we are a local junior gaa club and with the sitituation we are in we need all the help we can get. noboby should think that fighting this appeal is wrong, drumgrath have fought for theirs and won, they were the intermediate champions last year and played in the senior championship this year, we were fit to beat them in their home pitch, they to have let things slip this year so have we. lets not let ourselves slip anymore and give our full backing to the appeal. | |||

| why dont we make a list of all the players who have stopped playing, have been playing but quit during the season and make a huge effort to re group in jan/feb, anyone who wants to quit/retire go ahead and start afresh with minors and new faces! there is talent within the squad but the big issue will be how this talent will be brought forward, the coaching structure at senior level has to be right next year and there s no doubt that div 4 and jfc are there for the taking | |||

| Who is this fella Ross Cranney that I am hearing so much about? Word has it he has more speed than Bennie Coulter and more skill than Colm Cooper. He sounds like our man!!!! And I would like to make it publically known that we are scouting him!!! | |||

| Dobbs I think your wrong about aidy murphy being the best defender at the club, I feel its Karl "Lets keep it air tight" Mc Caughey actually I think he s best forward at the club as well, with a record of 9 games in the forward line and NO scores he has to be up there !! ha ha ha | |||

| Anyone have any pics of teams/action shots from the late 1990s to early 2000s - think during this time we won 2/3 promotions - junior chamionship - south down and all ireland 7s junior - great mixture of experience and youth in these teams - mccoy, boyle, durkin, kearney, mclogan to name a few. Thanks! | |||

| i raised this issue last week about the tournament not being advertised well enough. the day was great craic and the football was impressive but sadly not enough spectators attended and this is a persistant problem for our club which must be addressed | |||

| well done to the lads last night, great performance but needs to be followed up with another win over gleen on sunday. any chance of getting match reports from senior games? i feel the club could and should and could make more use of the website, match reports would go some way to improving this as would match photos. | |||

| I was just wondering when we will know what the plans are for the Senior team for next season will be. After this year everyone should get a chance to start from scratch and help rebuild the pride in our senior team. Its time we all pulled together for the good of the club as we have lots of good young talent coming through and we cant afford to lose them. | |||
