Bangor - Pre season round-up 2022/23
Another season has come and went and once again we exceeded expectations but I'm not surprised as the lads finished third in the Premiership, finishing just three points behind the eventual champions Linfield. Just like last season, our media predicted finish has been rose and we're now predicted to finish the campaign in sixth place (last season was seventh) and that's once again beatable.
Just one player arrived at the club this summer as right back Marty Rooney signed after agreeing a pre contract from champions Linfield, I'm not sure how much game time he'll end up getting but he becomes my third "Rooney" in the squad.
Three players ended up departing the club this summer - two on loan deals. Full back Thomas Lambe left Bangor Fuels Arena when his contract expired while shotstopper Jack Gault and midfielder Darragh Quinn joined Bryansburn Rangers and Knockbreda on season long loan deals.
It wasn't a bad pre season for the club as we lost three of our nine friendlies - losing away to Gretna 2008 and then (as perhaps expected) Swansea U21's and Scottish Premiership side Inverness Caledonian Thistle. We beat Ardoyne, Dalbeattie Star, Ballywalter, Bangor Amateurs, Dunfermline and Byransburn Rangers.
*Friendlies weren't in order due to our participation in the Europa League this season*

Bangor - End of season round-up 2021/22
Once again I've completed a league season and my SEVENTH in charge of Bangor and yet again it's been another tremendous start as we're looking to exceed expectations for a third consecutive season and qualify for the Europa League for the second straight season - I'd love a league title (who wouldn't) but I don't think we're ready for that just yet, maybe two/three seasons down the line if these great seasons can keep going.
League Cup:
I'm delighted to announce that we've managed to win the League Cup, beating Ballinamallrd United 2-0 in the final thanks to a Louis Rooney double (I believe) at Solitude, the home of Cliftonville - in the previous four rounds we seen off Ards, Glenavon, Crusaders and Linfield.
Irish Cup:
And we came so close to adding the Irish Cup to our trophy cabinet this season but unfortunately we lost to Crusaders in the final after extra time which annoyed me slightly but c'est le vie and we can't win them all. Just like the League Cup, we conceded just the once and beat Ballymena, Linfield, Newry City and Dungannon in the last four rounds before losing the 'show piece' final.
League - Premiership:
Just five more league defeats would follow this season (vs. Knockbreda, Crusaders, Glenavon x2 and Portadown) as my Bangor charges looked to exceed expectations once again. The club managed to keep five league sheets in the second part of the season (vs. Coleraine, Linfield, Ballymena, Dungannon and Portadown) but once again I couldn't fault how this campaign came and went as we exceeded expectations and won a piece of silverware too.
For the second season running, Bangor will be participating in the Europa League after finishing the season in third place (one place higher than last season) and we also finished just three points behind champions Linfield so it's major progress as the football club also finished the season in a positive goal difference. Lurgan Celtic were relegated back to Championship One while Carrick won the Championship One title. Knockbreda will be in the relegation/promotion play-off.
Other News:
Yep, just like last season, I have put 'pen to paper' on a one year contract extension that'll now see my contract conclude at the end of June 2023. It was a non-brainer that I was always going to agree terms and I had just three months remaining on my current deal.

See, here's the question about the database mate - has the likes of Manchester United's reputation been downgraded following their 'demotion' to the National North league? If it hasn't then that's the main reason why the likes of David De Gea is still at the club - if their reputation had been lowered to National North standards (no disrespect to the clubs in that league irl) then the big players would want out immediately, citing 'wants a move to a big club'.
But it's still an enjoyable career nonetheless chum.

But it's a 'disgrace' that Newcastle finished sixth in the National League ffs - who is their manager and their best player sir?

Bangor - Mid season round-up 2021/22
For the first time since 1994 (vs. Tatran Presov), Bangor Football Club will be playing in Europe due to our fourth place finish in the Premiership last season and I'm still in shock with how well we performed last campaign and now I expect us to do much better although that might be a little 'unrealistic'. We are expected to finish the campaign in seventh place instead of bottom like in the previous two campaigns. Pressure's on.
Europa League:
Our run in the Europa League was a memorable one as we reached the third qualifying round of the competition before losing to Dutch side FC Twente (4-0 at home, 5-0 away) and that was to be expected as they're a massive club compared to ourselves - in the previous two qualifying rounds we beat Rabotnicki of Macedonia and Finnish side PK-35 Vantaa.
County Antrim Shield:
In the Co. Antrim Shield we progressed past the quarter finals for the first time in quite a while and the club reached the final of the competition, losing to Linfield in front of the television cameras. The board don't consider the competition important but I still want to win every domestic trophy possible in senior football. Bangor had beaten Glentoran (on penalties), Brantwood and Lisburn Distillery in the previous three rounds before being runners-up.
League Cup:
And we've a great chance of adding a piece of silverware this season as we'll be in the final of the League Cup in which we'll face Ballinamallard United at Solitude in the third week of January and we've only conceded one goal in the competition to date - fierce rivals Ards were beaten by a single goal to nil in the second round and Glenavon suffered the same fate in round three, Crusaders were beaten in the quarters and we beat Linfield (for the first time ever in a competitive fixture) three nil in the semis. We should be confident in winning the trophy.
League - Premiership:
It has been a tremendous first part of the league season and I shouldn't be overly surprised as I've assembled quite a good squad at Bangor Fuels Arena but somehow, I'm still surprised at how well we've been performing in the Premiership this season and the previous two seasons. We've lost just the five league games out of the twenty two played so far and we've got a positive goal difference too. Our five defeats have come against Linfield (x2), Glenavon, Crusaders and Ballymena United.
And we'll be heading into the new year just six points behind leaders Glenavon and officially in a title challenge as this has been a remarkable season to date. The football club have picked up eleven wins, four draws and five defeats from the opening twenty two games and also had quite an enjoyable European run earlier in the campaign and things are looking good (at present) for European qualification for a second season running but it's still tight.

Thanks for the comment George. I've been delighted with how well the last couple of seasons have went following promotion from Championship One and long may that continue. I'd love more than a one year extension though.

Sure, these are Gerard's stats, Gerard.
Bangor - Pre season round-up 2021/22
Last season was a season to remember for us at the club as not just did we secure a top four finish but in return we qualified for the Europa League which I'm absolutely humbled with but we WON'T be playing our home game(s) at Bangor Fuels Arena as it's not big or good enough (at the moment I hope) for European football, our home games will be played at Windsor Park.
Just three players joined the club this season, nineteen year old Mark Baker joins the club after being released by Coleraine at the end of last season while experienced centre back Mark Haughey left Linfield in the summer and I quickly snapped him up as his experience could become valuable and then our last season saw Rory Hale arrive after he left Glentoran following their relegation to Championship One.
One player ended up departing the club so far this season as left back Thomas Lambe joined Championship Two side Dundela on loan.
Despite participating in Europe this forthcoming season, I still organised (well, my assistant manager helped) nine friendlies in which we didn't lose a single game drawing twice away to Buckley and Gala Fairydean Rovers. We beat Bangor Amateurs, Bangor Swifts, Holywood, Larne Tech, Groomsport, Kilroot and Glenafton in pre season.
*Please note: These pre season friendlies weren't in order due to European participation*

Or start unemployed with all coaching badges and whatnot (could be boring though) and manage the first 'big' club that sack their manager.
