That seems a good idea, we all have different views so it could lead to some healthy discussion.

For example, how would you decide which is the better result from the following
1. The winners of a top of the table clash in any of the divisions.
2. A lower ranked team knocking out a higher ranked team away from home in the A.O.H. cup.
3. A Cork A.U.L. side advancing in a National or Provincial cup.

It might be a bit more difficult for the worst result of the week as we may not know the true circumstances of the defeat..for example were Casement missing a load of players last week or was it just down to the sheer brilliance of Leeds on the day?

All clubs would term every victory as a great result for their own circumstances ie; challenging for the title or simply avoiding relegation. Would it be better if we were not to include games involving our own clubs?

Crikey lads,Owl comes up with a decent idea an we destroy it by gion all 'Stato' on it.

We keep it easy,on Monday someone will have made a right balls of things while someone else will have a perfect day.

It'l stick out a mile anyway,goood or bad.

But the only rule is that it has to be decided by midnight Monday.

Chumps of the week.

Champs of the week.

Let the fun commence.

That's fair enough Littleman, can't make it much simpler than that.
Owl, I didn't intend to complicate things, I was just showing a few different scenarios that could occur and the possible discussions arising from such results.

Interested in your views here lads,
From next week i was goin to scan the weekend results from prem to the 3rd division and including all cups.From this i was goin to pick out the best and worst result of the week (champs;chumps). For example, last week i would have said that Dunbarr's result would have been the one that would have stood out for me (champs), although Springfield did come close !!. The worst for me would have been Casement being hammered at home 8 - 1(chumps). No offence to Casement, its just a bit of craic.
Im sure there will be debates about the results but sure isnt that what forums are for ????
What do people think ?

Great idea - it'll be interesting to see the different opinions...
I agree with Littleman as well - by midnight Monday rather than it taking over the whole forum.

One foot, fair comment but thats the whole idea. Everyone will have a diff opinion although some might be of the same view who were the best and worst performers. Dont think it really matters who has a bad or good day cause the record will show they won or lost irrelevant of the reasons why.

Littleman, cheers for that and i agree that all posts must be in by monday evening with a brief reason why you picked each. The results of the weekend are all there to see so lets not get offended if and when your beloved club are labeled as CHUMPS !!

One question ; will we just keep it to league teams or will we include the AUL side ?

Casement being hammered at home 8 - 1(chumps). No offence to Casement, its just a bit of craic.
What do people think ?
No offence taken. Cant disagree being Chumps of the week :( but we were not at home not that it would have made any difference. It was in Douglas Halls astro. Played 2 lost 2 up there this season. Scored 2 goals conceded 15............. Not a happy hunting ground for our Juniors. This Nolan chap got a hat-trick that day but i wouldnt go along with saying hes the best player in the AUL but everyone has there own opinon. Best player iv seen this season was Johnny Barrett. Super little player and has matured alot from his younger days with Maymount where he was a bit hot headed. He should lead the line against TDSL. Reminds me of Paul O Mahony a bit but id have Johnny any day......

Grattan v Knockavilla is kicking off at 2pm.

Shinks little bundle of joy is down for a 4'30 Christianing.

There was no real point in goin for a 1pm kick off,Harry sat out last weeks game so if Shinks was under pressure
Id say we were covered in that department having Harry to put in.

Mario I look forward to hav ya run the rule over the Gratts tomorrow.I hope we dont dissapoint.

Right ya,in the real world we hope they dont do the dog the night before,junior or senior an in the real it aint work in for the Aul this season with regards to the national cups.

The draw for the Fai has just Wilton an Leeside representing our top teir.The rest with a fantastic amount of admiration are 1st an 2 div sides.Dosent say much for the Prem/Prem A( an remember im encludin myself in that),,,,,,,,,,no a really poor show this year.

Of the Fai draw Springfield look to have had the best draw.But just to show what we are up against,the number 8 draw was as follows,,,,,,

4 of Clonmel town,Ballymun,Killester an Waterford Crysta,that normally is a semi final draw so consider yourselves lucky an come on lads we are all behind ye.l

Greenwood 'B' 2 - Grangevale 1

Well lads, after a great result last week against Dillons X, we came back down to earth with a bang today!!
We went 1 up after about 7 or 8 mins and then thought it was a formality..... they had 2 chances in the whole game and got 2 goals.... Fair play to them though, for a team who had conceded 15 goals in their last 2 games they fought tooth & nail and really gave it a go and it paid off.

Very disappointed, thought we would have a good craic off City Cup this year...

Kinsale 4 -1 Coachford.

Match report is probably irrelevant, Kinsale were class today .
We tried to keep positive all throughout the game but they were just streets ahead of us.
They led by 3 at half-time and scored soon after to make it 4. In fairness to the Kinsale management, they made numerous changes taking off derek mac which our keeper will be grateful. Kinsale could have hit us today for 8 at least.
We know ourselves now that its going to be a massive dogfight down around the bottom.

Kinsale are the team to stride to be like. We have a young team and hopefully they will have learnt today what the Premier league is all about.
We're going to be up against it but you can be sure we wont go down without a fight.

Bella on your post about fixtures I totally agree its a disgrace, Ever since the legend (that is Billy Lyons) retired, evereythin is gone pearshaped, :mad:

Mayfield Utd 1 Ballyvolane 3

Besides a 20 minute spell in the 2nd half i thought we controlled this game. Played some nice football and deserved the win. Not a bad side mayfield, but i felt they played the long ball a bit too much. Saying that they missed one or two good chances.
Dont know whether it was a tactical thing or not but the game was played in the All weather pitch although they had 3 perfect playable football pitches. Strange one.
Through to the next round at the end of the day.

Leeside C 3-1 Pakview

Another good performance today to make it 3 wins in a row since new year. 19 togged out today with alot missing, massive squad there for 3rd team of the club. Not a great first half, Started fairly slow and was made pay for it conceding in first 25 min. howler from keeper. first half went from bad to worse for us at the whistle keeper went up abusing ref and red carded, fairly so. Looked bad from here on in but it actually drove the team on. scored two in first 10min of second half 2 well worked goals and then scored again with 25 to go. could of had another 2 or 3 towards end.

Leeside B 1-0 Hibernian A

wasnt at game but good win and into next round of saxone.

hopefully now the first team will finish of good weekend for club in skib tomorrow

totally agree with ya bella about fixtures

Lads kindly find out the reason why the fixtures arent on www.corkaul.com (http://www.corkaul.com) before posting such drivel !! Suggesting it is because Billy is gone is 100% incorrect

Also on the AUL panel - if he doesnt call up new players he is wrong , if he does he is wrong!

The AUL gave him the job - let him get on with it

Just a wild guess, but does the fixture Secretary wait until the results of AUL teams that are involved in National and Provincial cups are known ? Then he can finalise fixtures for the following weekend, rather than inserting provisional fixtures for those clubs?
For example if there were 4 Cork clubs involved in external cup competitions on a given weekend. It would seem a bit foolhardy in publishing provisional fixtures on a Friday involving up to 8 teams for the following weekend, those fixtures may not played in the event of all 4 Cork teams advancing further in such competitions?
I presume there's a backlog of fixtures due to the amount of games lost to the bad weather and to the referees strike. I'd say the fixture secretary is trying his best to get as many fixtures played as possible and not have teams idle at the weekend where possible.

littleman

31/01/2010, 2:03 PM

Lads the reason for the fixtures not being posted on Fridays is quite simple (if annoying).

What was happening was the fixtures were posted on Billys Blog on Friday and on the following Monday the fixtures didnt match up.Much to the annoyence of
Many.

So the Aul were informed not to post the fixtures until they were final and complete.So thats the case from here on.

The Killer B's went down 1/2 this mornin to Wilton B.Very unlucky they were too,especially in the 2nd half.

Taking into account how my selections for chumps an champs did last week my 2 votesare being doled out as follows.

Chumps of the week,,,,,,,,,,,,Leeds,,,,,,hockeyed Casement away 1/8 an this week they lose,at home to Waterloo beaten 2/3.

Champs of the week are Wilton A,,,,,,,,,,,,done by Dunbar last week in the Aoh loosing 1 nil,,,,,,,,,,an this week regrouped to beat St Francis from Dublin in the Fai winning 1nil.

Innishvilla

01/02/2010, 8:29 AM

Chumps of the week - a bit tougher than last week as there were so many hockings last week. But I was going to pick Strand United loosing 6:1 to a good Springfield side but that's a higher division side winning well so instead I'll go with a terrible Lakewood side that Innishvilla beat 4:0 yesterday.
Champs - I'd actually have to go Waterloo, beating a high flying Leeds and looking back they have also knocked out Coachford from the MJC so it is not like they got to the open draw without beating anyone of note!!!

Also whole format of website has changed a bit... where are the Avatar's gone or is it just me???

Champs of the week -Waterloo- a great win against an in form Leeds side in the M.J.C.

Chumps of the week- Donoughmore Ath- lost 6-1 won at home to Killumney in the St Michaels Cup. Really suprised with the margin of this result as Donoughmore are a very hard team to beat especially at home. I'd say it's a long time since Donoughmore shipped 6 goals in a game.

the owl

01/02/2010, 10:00 AM

So what do people make of the new set up here ??

Anyway,
Champs for me would be Leeside. A great win below in Skibbereen which is a very tough place to go and try and get a result.
Chumps im afraid Guv are our neighbours Leeds. A big, big lose for them in the MJC especially after last weeks result. Good win for Waterloo though.

01/02/2010, 10:32 AM

Appreciate the comments jungle. Another 3 points is good and we must keep on trucking. Grattan like ourselves unfortunately do not have the distraction of a munster or FAI junior cup so we have to keep winning as they look like putting a run together. The form of leeside at the moment is impressive. I think i should also say the club as a whole too. 3 junior teams with all three winning? Fair play. Obviously very well run and all with only one pitch.

The AUL manager now getting stick for not bringing in certain players!?! I praised minty when he did it last year and brought in cherry from kinsale and a few others for the quarters and the semi and even a chap for the final i think - i didn't even hear of some of them myself. It's only a friendly and at least he's giving others a chance. The fact the two from leeds have been called up proves that he has been keeping an ear to the ground. Give them a chance to prove themselves. We all have our opinions on who should and should not be on it, at the end of the day it's the result v tipp that counts. Somebody has a comment at the end of all their posts on this site, dont know who it is now but it reads 'if we play as one, we can beat any 11', i'm getting a little tear in my eye now as i type but I agree. See how it goes. The friendly on wednesday should be great to watch. I'm interested in seeing both teams!

Sorry bella but I don't know who your centre back is. I must try and get to a springers game as ye have had some impressive results.

Blackstone 3 v 1 Pearse in Prem A.

Didnt make the game, but another fantastic result for us. Olachico is safer than RAFA!!!!

On the AUL fixtures thing, we need to give them a bit of space lads. This season they are operating without a full time Fixs Sec or Treasurer. I agree with the frustration, but, I dont see a queue of people willing to do it.

However, with fixs for the AOH 3rd round being played, posting the draw is only an e-mail away and should be done. What about the idea of doing all the draws for all AUL cups at the beginning of the season with all rounds mapped out? One night - all done.

I hope I dont cause offence by saying this, but I must have missed something. What result(s) brought Leeds to the attention of everybody? 8-1 against Casement was a very good result, but why the overhype? I dont see it - in fact they lost one of their best players to Grattan. I wish them well, I like the club and they have been good to me in the past and Norries forever - but I just dont grasp the hype. And whether you want to believe me or not - these were my thoughts pre-weekend!!

Any representative side is gonna bring up discussion and its a good thing. But I refer to my point above. Even Mr O Regan is caught up in the hype that I am missing. Now I have no personal experience of the two Leeds lads, and I believe Gary Nolan is an excellent player, but why did AUL manager pick that Prem A side to see when we are the form side in the division? Greenwood in open draw of FAI, Kanturk unbeaten in the league,Our striker is banging in goals against Prem A sides.

Waterloo for Champs, Donoughmore for Chumps.

Anyone know who won TOTM for January?

Inclined to agree - an 8:1 win against Casement doesn't make Leeds unbeatable - and I don't see Waterloo beating them as a "massive" shock, unexpected but only just that.

For Team of the month - I guess applications are from now as yesterday was last day of month.
Blackstone had a good month horse.
Innishvilla won 3 from 3 one of which was knocking out opposition from a higher division in the County Cup so they could be there or there abouts. The thing is not many teams played the usual 4/5 games in January so it is a bit hit and miss.

On Innishvilla glad to see they've really turned it around this season. Lost their first 2 league games of the season and went out of AOH, MJC and FAI to 1st and Premier division sides - since then have gone on a good run of form winning last 7 games (league and cup) and picking up 19 from a possible 21 points in the league - so good to see. Also our Youth team has qualified for the out of town section in both the FAI and Munster Youth cups - 1st time ever for the club.

A good 3-2 win for us down in skib yesterday even though we didnt play well. We went 2 nil up in the first 20 mins paul condon and johnny barratt scoring they pulled one back instantly but the rock at the back condon added another from a corner but straight from there kick off they scored again 3-2 at half time. The pizza and tea cups went flying at half time and that set us up in the second half to defend properly and we eased through. It was a terrible game to play in but it seems the drink ban is working as everyone looked fresh. We made up for it yesterday though. On the drink ban all the lads are happy to make the sacrifice as they know that where in with a shout in all competitions so roll on cabintilly sat.
