Cork AUL 2009/10

[littleman]

Well lads its nearly time for pre season to start,tappin up is goin on big time so let the gossip start to flow and the rumors run riot till the important stuff start in August

[casilles]

well littleman , wats the news from norrieland? quiet over here but forde on about puttin us all through a pre season before we return in Oct , plenty of free agents be arriving back in mid oct!!!

[littleman]

Tell Forde we should be well on our way to fitness by the time ye get back.Pre season for the Gratts starts on the 14th July.Seems to be a great buz about O'Neill Park at the minute with the dressing rooms in place.Looking forward to gettin back to be honest,getin bored now big time on the weekends.

[pacman]

July 14th seems to be the magic date that most teams are going back on.

Littleman,
I hear St Mary's have been sniffing around O'Neil Park again trying to grab a player or two. Any truth there?

[bogwarrior]

Well congrats to all the grattan lads on the dressing rooms. Lots of hard work gone in there so nice to get a reward. Looking forward to seeing them this year.

Well lads Varian has gone to Everton. None of the lads begrudge him at all and wish him all the best. It was a big decision for him to stay with us last year and while I dont think it's a step forward he's a superb footballer and hopefully he gets to add to his Ireland caps.

Rumours abound about potential signings for Kinsale. Some top footballers being talked about but you must realise we cant talk about them until they are set in stone!! Feel free to speculate however..

[littleman]

Their was a few tapped up alright but but we in O'Neill Park have done some tappin of our own so their will be a few surprises alright.Like bog says though its all just talk till they sign so we expect a lot more sniffin an plenty more tappin..............

[olachico]

isnt there a point at which the registration of players becomes void in Junior Football?? I thought it was the month of July so technically nobody is being tapped up??????????

[casilles]

well littleman Who is the next Gaffer at the Gratts???????????????????

[littleman]

The tappin goes on no matter what stage we are at, club players bein tempted away by promises of ours is better than yours an all that.Tis part an parcel of the game aint it.

On another matter I hope Varian has a right go at Everton,nothin better than seeing a ex Aul player showing the Msl lads how its done.Dont know if Everton are the right club for his talents but all the same Derek best of luck.

Any gossip about the possible new Aul manager,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[pacman]

All this talk of players isnt interesting unless we start throwing names about.

If he doesnt actually sign at the end of the day, so what, at least it will keep the thread ticking over until the football starts again.

[Horse24]

Everton are a good club. I hope they suceed for both of their sakes. Derek Varian seems like a nice humble guy, who tries his heart out. Magic player too.

Early days of the tapping and sniffing, so to mention any names we are chasing wouldnt be the best.

We have a few promises of players, and if we get them it will definetly bring us on. No-one leaving to date.

At least 2 more of the AUL 11 on the move, one to MSL, one crossing the river?

When is the league kicking off?

[bogwarrior]

Two on the move and one crossing the river?? I presume you mean the lee??

[bogwarrior]

Shinkwin gone? Did i hear that off someone?

[Horse24]

Two on the move and one crossing the river?? I presume you mean the lee??

Two from the one club, one to MSL and one crossing the Lee.

[casilles]

ya heard Shinks was headin to Blarney seniors cause he was livin close by but he is back on the northside so??? Horse u got to start naming !!

[pacman]

I reckon its either Grattan or Leeside he's on about anyway

[Horse24]

Mr Keegan to Grattan

Mr Delea to Ringmahon

[littleman]

Over the last 2 weeks I've spoken to the 3 of them,Delea was asked by Ringmahon but is waiting to see what else happens.He wants to try senior league and thats fair enough hes given Leeside fantastic service.I think Everton could be dark horses to sign him,especially as he is good buddies with Varian.

The talk with regards to Jason Keegan has him joining Minty at Casement.But half the northside has asked him to sign as well so only God knows where this one will end.

I'm not even goin to comment on where our players are supposed to be goin,the list is endless dependin on which bar your in.But we are confident we will hold what we have and indeed add a few surprises.

Question lads an i'd appriciate unbiased answers if possible as theirs none of us angels on here.I know there are a few managers of various clubs in various divisions of the Aul postin on this site and considerin my position goin forward this season,would it be best to log off for good or stay onboard.
