Cork AUL 2009/10

[the ghost]

Alot of kinsale players on it isnt there??

Springers Leeside the weekend should be a cracker. Leeside will be really hard to beat, eddie wont want to lose to his old team, should have a nice bit of bite to it. Looking forward to watching leeside play havent seen them in a while, although if leeside are a attacking free flowing team, i guarantee they wont be allowed do it the weekend. Should be good.

Our 2nd team a game away from the qtrs of the county cup ha, should be a tough one sunday though, millstreet are playing well. We've mayfield next wednesday, were going to get thumped i say :)


**Just notcied no Gettings, thats a bit ridiculous isn't it. Also i am telling ye again now for a fact, Springfields centre back Timmy O'Shea is ten times the centre half of one or two defenders on that team, not naming names. Its ridiculous the way hes not on it.


You just said you havent seen Leeside play in awhile so how do you know Gettings not bein on the Squad is ''Ridiculous'' Bellavisatman

[Legohead]

legohead .........if theirs something you'd like me to answer then just ask.No big secrets on my side so just ask.

On the Aul thing as Iv said iv no interest.
Best of luck to um.


just kidding Little Man i just saw ye both in the same watering hole in mayfield a few times, all be it not together.

[the ghost]

Littleman you were all talk about the AUL panel last week regarding who could be on it and you were spot on with Laurence Betts coming into the squad!! Are you secretly involved in the selection team?? ha ha Your spot on Super Mario every clubman with passion for there team will have there blinkers on and be adiment they should so many players in with a shout it maybe true but if they had a few mixed challange games midweek and give guys a chance in a decent game full of talented players to shine if there good enought?? wat you guys think??

[the owl]

To be honest, as much as i wish the AUL team all the best my interest is only in Ballyvolane F.C. and our next game against our near rivals. We seem to forget that our AUL side won it last year with a similar bunch of players so if its not broken, why try fix it !!!!!. Do i think that we have players that could potentially push for a place on the panal..Yes...am i bothered that we dont...No. We have enough games as it is to catch up on and our priority right now is the league and nothing else.

[Horse24]

Owl/Super Mario - our friend from the weekend of cards is favourite to do the AOH Cup final is a rumour I am hearing.

Is there two John O Sullivans in Castleview or is the same guy playing for Seniors & Juniors?

Would have to agree wit ya there owl id look out for the results and find out who made the team but after that could nt give a toss cause the aul has over looked players in our team (Bohs) for as long as i can remember and i know for a fact should have walked on to it
So basically as long as wer winning and doin well in the cups ...........that ll do for me

[littleman]

Ya Ghost,Dillons X asked a few weeks ago if anyone wanted to have a go at naming an 11 of what was though to be on the squad.I stress what was thought to be on the squad ,before Boo wakes from his slumber an freaks.

Who or why players are choosen is not worth the hassel of hazarding a guess.Best of luck to um.

I'll stay well clear of pickin the side cause it draws to much grief but I did notice a few things last year . Mario Id say nearly every team in the entire Aul would have at the very least a player in their own squad that they would say is good enough to be in the Aul squad.Its always like that and always will be.What I learned from last year was that the trick is getting players A who are playing well with their clubs B can adapt quickly to the step up in the standard of the opposition they are about to face and C be able to go from ''go on out there now an do what ya do best'' to listening to a manager tell you what he expects defending,attacking and off the ball from ya .

As Iv said I have seen what I considered good players look like startled rabbits when told what they were expexted to do during a game.Not all so called great players can handle going from being a great player on their own team to one of 18 or 20 great players on an Aul squad.Even last year I saw a few players especially in the warm up games an even 1 or 2 in the actual games themselves that the blood seemed to drain from their face as soon as the ball came their way when playing on a team where every other player with them or against them was of a high standard.

So in saying that their are better players out their,Ill take that no prob.But having the right stuff to adapt so quickly to a change in standards is the hardest thing for me.Ya have to have lads that you know have the right attitude and respect for the position they are in and want to win at all costs.Last year I felt the majority of the squad first and foremost belived in each other an that they could win,even when they were loosing at times.You would have to ask if the squad this year have these qualities.


Horse.I know they have Pa O'Sullivan an the boy on the Aul Sullivan.Im not qiute sure how the rules about playing for your 1st an 2nd side work in regards to Msl an Aul.Ya would have to ask the Aul Sec Id say.

What i have been told horse its the same john o sullivan!They had 2 playing against us saturday and play with the seniors,as far as i know!!

Ye all set for saturday horse,should be cracking game,the pitch is looking well,should suit both teams!!i say ye settel for any pitch now dats not in clashduv road:D!!

[littleman]

Whoops,hes not available.

So then has he transferred to Seniors, then he cant play in AUL anymore or Oscar squad?

We are looking forward to Saturday too - should be a good one. Clashduv two weeks running, I noticed it more the second time from both sides that control is sometimes impossible around the centre of the park.

I think if your regiester with the juniors,3 are aloud play with seniors,not 100% now horse,anybody no the ruling on that lads!!

There should b no1 allowed play on that pitch in clashduv,you cud go over on your ankle anytime!!

I thought that was only between MSL Senior and MSL junior?? Not the AUL ??????

[littleman]

Oli,your 100% correct.That agreement is only between Msl Sen and Junr teams and refers only to the subs named for the senior teams,their then able to play for the juniors.If you do it between the Aul junior and Msl Sen is not allowed under the Aul/Msl or Mfa rules.We have the 5 game rule.So make what you want of what I have just said.

So if it is the same guy he would still be eligible for the Cork Aul would he?? Surely it is the MSL rules he is breaking?? He has played more for the Junior AUL Castleview side than their MSL Senior side i'm guessing!

However the AUL rule is"
32 Registered in Different Leagues No player can be registered in different leagues in the same grade at the one timeNo player can play in different leagues in the same grade without being properly transferred."

So maybe the player can register for the senior side as well as its technically a different grade! [/SIZE]

Littleman why complicate everything like your either good enough or your not like simple as that

[littleman]

Mario,if it was as easy as saying a lad is good enough then we would have won it a lot more times than once in the last 43 years.Thats the problem ya see previous managers just choose players they though were good enough without actually looking at wether or not there particular styles of play would complement each other and the team.I have been apart of Oscar sides and the managers just picked players on their names an all the egos couldnt gel cause they all thought they were the vital cog in the machine,Their wasnt any big heads last year,all solid grounded lads,im not sayin thats not the case this year but like as i said at the start Mario if it was as easy as puttin quality players on a pitch together then why havnt we won more titles.

The game an the players have changed so much in the last 10 to 15 yrs,managers now look at how the other team is set up way more,an whos playin where an so on.Before it was just name the team lump the ball in the box an hope it payed off.The game is gettin more technical ,we are just years behind the better counties Such as Dublin ect ect in terms of preperation.

[LeedsPk]

how the ballyvolane lads see the game goin sunday? shud be a cracker, hopefully we'll turn up this time unlike the 1st league game. We are missin a few alrite wit one notable absentee which will b a huge blow but we had 18 training thur nite so have a big squad to cope. Ye are missing a few as well tho- Shaz is a huge loss to yer push this season. I picked Leeds for the ballyvolane last man standing haha -Conny doesnt txt back ona derby weekend, haha

Just out of interest- how is keith kelleher gettin on wit ye Littleman?? is he gettin a game? havent seen his name mentioned on this or the echo

[the owl]

yea leeds pk, like yourselves we are missing a few too. Shaz is a big blow and Dave Keo is out with a similar injury. Plus 2 others through work and weekends away so it should be fairly balanced. It will be tough one epecially in yer place with both looking for 3 points.

[thebooboys]

Just looking at the league table and its in GRTTANS favour if they win today. Blarney will have to be at there best to get anything from the game. I think its going to be a low scoring affaif as usual when GRATTAN playing. I think 2-0 the GRATTS there a machine at the moment. They have been there and done the the businss. Suprise me Blarney hopefully.

[pass&move]

Blarney St 1 - 3 Grattan Utd

[littleman]

sorry Boo, we won 3/1

[Legohead]

Village 1 Coachford 0
very poor spectacle but makes the bottom half more interesting

[donaldihno]

Kanturk 1 Blackstone 0

Massive win today,3 points is all we wanted and got them!!Chances at both ends,dont no how it finished 1-0!!Tought both keepers were very good!!
Abit of fracas at the end,no need for it in the game!!Dont want to comment anymore on it,we got the 3 points,thats all that matters!!
Horse/oili what ye make of it?why wasnt jason playing,i tought abit of a loss for ye!

[thebooboys]

watched the game from the comfort of the car. Grattan must be favourites to win the league now. On the game; scrappy affair,pitch didnt help,few opportunities,grattan converted set-piece chances. Some effort from yer player from free kick just in blarneys streets half after 65 mins, some strike. D way grattan are motoring you shud be next AUL manager "fear bheag"........

Didnt make the game today Don. From what I hear, you sum it up well. Our bus home was a sad one. Fracas was avoidable too I believe - Im wasting my breath and am torn between giving up on it or keep fighting for the good of the game - the question is how did I know last Sunday evening there would be a fracas in the game??

Jason had four yellows - unfortunate but cest la vie.

[scaffa7]

Anyone know how the Mayfield v Douglas game end it was the 1/4 finals of the city cup i think

[littleman]

Boo if I had known you were there I would have put rose petals on the floor an carried you on high over too the side line.T'was a derby an as derbys go it was a decent game.I will refrain for a few days from posting a match report.But lets keep it simple,a win is what we wanted,by hook or by crook,an a win we got.

Boo,lastly if your wondering what magical managerial system I have to get the results we have got,,,,,,,,,,,nothing at all to do with either Gratt manager,great players will always be great players,just sometimes they need reminding their great players!!!!!

[beezerblackpool]

Douglas won 1-0 scaffa.

[thebooboys]

all jokes aside "fear bheag", fair result etc etc but dunno how barry peelo gave man of the match to who he did on the cork aul website. Without a shadow of a doubt yer centre half man of the match.

[littleman]

Fair point Boo.Looking at the game I thought all our 3 center halfs played very well.I thought Figo an Steven Goulding gave the Blarney St defence an awful time of it. We may of sat back a bit too much for my liking in the 2nd half after we got our 2nd goal but we did what we are very very good at an defended excellently.And of course on the break as the 3rd goal showed i dont think theres any team better.3 points is all that mattered. Figo had a hand in the 3 goals and in general he had a smashin game,but in sayin that so did the rest of um.

[Onefootednopace]

Corinthians Cup 2nd round.

Killowen 1 Hillington 0.

Wasn't at the game but by all accounts both sides squandered plenty chances. A goal in the 1st half did the trick for Killowen. At least we have progressed in a cup competition, as we lost our opening games in the A.O.H. , County and Saxone cups.

[The Guvnor]

Leeds 2 ballyvolane 1


Ballyvolane ahead on the stroke of half time with a penalty. We replied with a dean buckley header about 20 mins in to the second half. we won it with a wonder strike from niall murphy with minutes left. good to get all points. our keeper was outstanding.

[Legohead]

little man any particular reason for refusing to play the street under lights?
surely its better than that pitch. i know the street were anxious to get ye on a big pitch.

[littleman]

I was workin nights an so was Rob on the Friday,thats about it im afraid.

[Legohead]

Leeside 1 Springers 0

Anymore to add bella?

[MainManRam]

Anymore to add bella?

It wasn't a great game to be fair. Leeside were deserved winners in the end. There wasn't too much in it and we gave it all we could for a pretty make-shift side (we were carrying 2 injured players- myself included) But no excuses as i said Leeside were deserved winners. Dellea scored on the break in the first half- Gettings was the best player on the pitch. Connor Hawes had a good chance to equalize in the second half with a header- being honest there was not much other goal mouth action.

[the owl]

Leeds 2 Ballyvolane 1

Dissapointing again today. Could have went either way really with both sides guilty of missing some great chances. Their 2nd goal a "wonder strike" ??.....i dont think so mate. The boy by his own admission crossed it in and it floated in over our injured keeper. The diifference is that Leeds had that bit of luck today and have the 3 points. We need to start taking our chances and start putting teams away instead of getting caught with sucker punches late on. Missing 5 of our players didnt help either today.
And now we have Leeside to look forward to on Wednesday

Very disappointed with this result - thought we should have been 2 up after 10 minutes! Both sides could have scored a lot - definitely wasnt a 1-0 game . I wont make any comments regarding the fracas or the ref !!

Lads,
Anyone know if this is happening this year?

Cheers

[Innishvilla]

Hi Blackpool beezer or anyone else who was at Saxone cup game v Casement. Innishvilla travel to Casement Park on St. Patrick's day - just wondering what Casement are like - hard to judge them based on only having played 3 league games. That normally means some really good cup runs but I can only see them having done well in the Saxone Cup - anyone know why they've so few league games played - pretty much 9/10 games less than the rest of the division...

In all fairness- a sucker punch would be dominating a game and conceding at the end not dominating the whole 2nd half and gettin what u deserve which we did get -for a change. I have to say ye were in control in the 1st but once ye scored we were the only team that looked like winning it, so to be fair ye never looked like 'putting us away'. If it wasnt for a few very dodgy offside calls we would have been comfortable. As for missing 5, id question that- if gaa players leave then i presume u dont add them into ur 5?? peter nugent left us 2 yrs ago and we dont say we are missing him when we lose a game, just an example.

injured keeper, missing 5, sucker punch, putting teams away- maybe u shud try the new bulmers cider- not pear, sour grapes :)

all jokes aside- big result for us, just need to push on now - iv said that a few times to be fair and we havent done so, big game now wed- olachio shud b a good one!!!

[scaffa7]

Wilton 3-1 Bohs 1/4 finals city cup .......We (Bohs) were i have to say not at our very best yesterday Wilton wanted it more and just seemed to get the better breaks of the ball, referee had big call on their 3rd goal and even though we missed a peno with about 10 mins to go on the basis of the game they deserved it i have to say.
On the brightside of it we have to do it all again paddys day when we have another huge 1/4 final against the boys from Ballyvolane at 2:30 there pitch should be a cracker and we will want to put the last game out of our heads by notching (i hope) up a result to get into the semis, we should be well up for the game after losing the last one and will want to put it right.

[thebooboys]

Ye should see the talk over on the fai thread about PIKE. Springfield if theres any truth to the rumours about st michaels objecting to the legality of Pike's ex league of ireland players whats to stop ye objecting also??????? well worth a look at the thread..........................
