A great way to start the season by beating Gelnwood:D

SS Rovers, JP Morgan and Interyouralwone have all played and won our leagues before. they have all come down from division 3 and 4.

very very tough league, away tougher than expected. bout 8 decent teams in it, no easy games this time and no whipping boys. could be us

Come on Ed don't be so negative!!
with so many good teams each teams will drop points.

Its going to be tough yes but I'd rather win this league than playing against a bunch of I-chinas where winning the league means nothing, winning this league with the teams that are in it will be a great achievement and it's well within our grasp.

but ss rovers have johnny strongcock. quite possibly the greatest ever player in the history of astro. us and glenwood for the wooden spoon i think.

That's a quality league right there. In addition to the former league winners already mentioned, Coca Cola, Full Irish and Ravenhill are hardly teams you'd be taking points for granted against.

Here's hoping Shamcock Rovers and John Delaney Celtic are I-China and Eddie Rockets just renamed

On our day we can beat any team in this league - the reall challenge this season will be reaching close to our potential early on and maintaining that level throughout. We will be unlikely to go unbeaten in this league so it'll be very dependent on how we respond to those setbacks.

Agree with Keith totally - a winner's medal from this league would be something to be proud of no doubt.

On the positive thinking stuff, I got the below in my mailbox today as spam and am throwing it in here purely for the laugh to nip any negativity in the bud......any more of it and I'll start quoting Damo Dempsey 'Seize The Day' on ya, you've been warned

Dealing with what is thrown at you is for me the most important skill you can develop. The misnomer in sports, business and life is that you have to be really positive. Have you ever trained, practiced, believed in the positive, told yourself it was going to happen and it didn't come off? When that happens most people drift to negative thinking – this is also a lie.
The mindset to develop for Intelligent Sport® Events and tough times is NEUTRAL THINKING.

1. POSSIBLE: Is it possible you could complete the Challenge? Yes. Do you definitely? No. Do you definitely not complete the challenge? No. It's POSSIBLE. That's the truth and possible leads to a calm or Neutral mindset which is the foundation of peak performance.

2. CLARITY: Focus on what you want, outcomes, end result, not what you don't want. If you walked into the supermarket with a list of what you didn't want you'd be all over the place. Most people ask for what they "Don't want" and then they end up getting it.

3. ACTION: Too much thinking can bring a task to its knees. Make a decision and commit to it. Step over the line. Don’t over analyse. Thinking drains your mental energy and you need to conserve it. The real skill of the mental game is being able to switch concentration on and off.

4. RESULT: You will always get a result. Avoid being stuck and going back a step by asking poor questions. You could end up in a loop of insanity.

5. DEAL WITH IT: Deal with the result. If it didn’t go your way loop back to POSSIBLE. Ask "Is it possible the next challenge, shot, deal, account could be the one? Yes. Re-focus.
All peak performers when at their best DEAL WITH what is thrown at them. Have you been dealing with everything that's thrown at you, or stuck in the loop of insanity? Use this mindset in and out of the office.

First up is Glenwood and if we play nice direct football but keeping it on the ground, we definitely have the skills to stretch them and get in behind them, 3 points there is very doable.

Yeh, bet you're looking forward to keeping that little feck to two shut outs....though we do have to wonder if he really did bang in all those goals or if they just beefed up his scoring record on the site. Gav seems to have some personal vendetta against him so expect ructions!
