Cork AUL 2009/10

[littleman]

At a guess Shilts maybe they couldnt get the other strip cleaned an returned for Tuesday an only had the 2nd strip available.They wore their red strip against us Saturday.On the subject of walkovers I dont think any of us will be that lucky.I know there were a few rumors that clubs may have been struggling back ay xmas but every body seems to be grand now an judging by how much of a fight everyone is puttin up in the games we have played there wont be any easy wins for anyone for whats left of the season.Village had 4 or 5 subs yesterday against us.I'm just thankful we dont have to play them away up in Silverheights,their going to claim a big scalp up their.

[BigfeetBigsocks]

If you read down to the end of every fixture list posted, the home team MUST bring a spare kit. Luckily, Blarney Street were able to borrow a white kit from CIT around 11.15 and still kicked off with identical blue socks to ourselves. (Anyone who thinks that this is ok please go back to a GAA forum as you know nothing about soccer).



Was it just the socks that clashed or did the shorts as well clash?

[timmypav]

I know we often moan about refs etc but this guy was SHOCKING. Booked more guys for silly little things (mouthing) than anything else, he was the same when i watched douglas beat kinsale in AOH(at least 7 yellows that day for backchat), inconsistent and ignorant out

I wrote a similar post about same ref months ago. The crazy thing about it is he seems to be getting all high profile games????????

[timmypav]

Scaffa,



Better news today that Donoughmore lost to our neighbours Glen Celtic, delighted with that personally. Hope anyone wins the league except that bunch! (No doubt the report from them will be that they were robbed as usual)
Well radio, I know what u mean as we drew 1-1 away with them earlier this season and could and should have been 5 up at half time. When i read report it claimed that we were were haunted to come away with a point. On yesterdays game we scored and hit the crossbar in the first half and also hit the post in the 2nd half. They questioned every decision and had a fair few bookings. Game was handled very well by Barry Buckley i must say.

[DCross06]

Our last two away games, we had the same problem, Blarney St managed to find there blue gear and The Glen had to turn their shirts inside out. It shouldnt be happening, why dont the home team check the web-site or bring two kits. Two poor results this week, We drew 4-4 (One baffling descision after another until they got the equaliser in the last minute) with the Glen at the Weekend and lost 2-0 at home to Fairview yesterday. We need to get back to basics, we have a semi-final and a quarter-final coming up so hopefully this week was just a blip.

[Shilts]

When the problem was noticed both teams had blue shirts, shorts and socks.
But before kickoff (30 mins late) Blarney St had got hold of white tops and black shorts.
They played the game with blue socks, exactly the same as Kinsale.

How long should a team wait for their opposition to be ready???
The ref indicated that they are allowed 15 mins.
What happens after that is anyones guess!!!

Same thing happened us against Blarney St too, only a few weeks ago and they didn't have a change kit again, probably because they are based on the Northside and playing out in CIT doesn't help in emergencies but I wouldn't be making such a big deal once they were able to sort it out. Same colour socks and shorts never bothered me before and blue would be a very common colour around the aul.

Ya both reports against us were so inaccurate aswell! And I also read a report when they were beaten 6 - 1 that it was an injustice. I think in those situations its best left keeping quiet.
That was a good win for ye yesterday Timmy. I don't know what your thoughts are on how the league is gonna finish up but athis stage I thinks its between Bohs and Rathcoole. Those were the two most impressive teams we have played.

Ya at the moment we have a few games in hand and looking at the league table Rathcoole will probably be our nearest challengers now that saying IF we win our games in hand.
Delighted for the Glen yesterday that was a great win because Donoughmore are a sticky bunch and to you Radiostar ye will claim some big scalps up there if ye get back to the form that beat Douglas

[littleman]

Tis all fine an well sayin that having the same coloured socks an shorts dont bother fellas till the ref gives a peno against ya cause he got mixed up with all the same coloured legs in the 6 yrd box amid a scramble.

Shilts was bang on,on what he said.All the prem sides should be trying to show an example of how match day should be run,on the pitch an off it.Kinsale would have been well within their rights to have walked away from the situation after 15 mins but thankfully they didnt an it was sorted.Theres a lot at stake for some sides at the minute an I could understand that things like that could upset a teams preperation.What if Kinsale conceeded a sloppy goal in the 1st 5 mins or indeed lost the game,that would have been another story altogether.:eek:

Gratts 2 Village 1

A terrible game to be honest played in less than favourable conditions.Village were full of hard work an effort in the first 20 but just lacked any end product.It wasnt that we didnt play more so that Village made it very difficult for anything to be played.4/5/1 an like the Leeside game its very hard to get on top when a team is goin all out to stop ya scorin happy to conceed fouls at will, an bascially lookin for a point.Village in fairness battled all through the game,but when a team is on the run we are the luck tends to go your way an we got 3 points the hard way today.We had to just tough it out.

Though Village were full of hard work it counts for nothin if ya dont create an they didnt an we did. I dont care what anyone says but you cannot conceed 6 corners an 6 frees in your own half in the first 30 mins an then be surprised when ya go 1 down to a set peice,an especially against a side who are so strong in the air,we got 2 goals from set peices against Blarney St just Saturday so it wasnt as if Village didnt expect it.Ya have to do your homework on the opposition an try to find out where their strong or weak an theirs none of that in their game,an it shows.

Figo should have scored just before he finished neatly in the 6 yrd box with 35 gone. Gouldie got taken down in the 2nd half by the keeper for a peno,a bit harsh maybe but considering some of the man handlin he was falling victim too in their 18 yrd box during the game I think it was a bit of rough justice.

Village went route one time an time again an it paid off , Lotty scored an absaloutle belter,an I mean a belter with 3 mins left but we saw the game out. In the game in general you can look at it 2 ways
,either they put us on the back foot or we defended very very well an attacked at will.I suppose it depends on which side of the pitch you were on.

We are a very good defensive team,back to front everybody dose their job an the bench plays a massive part.At this stage of the proceedings its not how ya win its just winning is all that matters.

I can understand Village maybe feeling a bit hard done by but all the hard work in the world,means nothing if you dont create.An huffin an puffin against the best defensive side in the league wont get ya anywhere.All in all poor game but where the 3 points go is all that counts.

Games are won or lost in the 18 yrd box.We did it at both ends,defensively an attackin wise.We did both,not all the the time they way we would have liked but none the less done.All the hard graft in the world means nothin if ya dont do the basics in these areas.

Plus points were the character of the team.3 points job done.

Minus.we never really read the game well enough an made an already tough job a lot harder at times.

I like it,a sense of humor the day after Paddys day is always welcome.;)

Nice to have ya on board.

Johnny Giles more like it long and boring!!!;)

Scaffa im not Barbra Cartland.Sorry if u an truview are a bit bored maybe ya should,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sorry for stopin but I thought I heard someone givin a castlemane xxxx in the back round,must of been me I suppose.

Again sorry for postin what I thought was a match report,I will condence it to suit your taste.

We won they lost.

My apoligies.

[streetscene]

Shilts what happened on wendsday was wrong and enbarrasing and i apologise from Blarney St.... for some reason the person who organises the gear thought ye were in white and just sent the blue out...i was the one who had the white jerseys but the reason i didnt bring them out earlier was i thought the socks were the big issue... you and all the other experts on this site are dead right tho we should have had a second strip there and i aplogise again for this.... but to question our credibility as a premier league team is out of line and to suggest a fine for us well i think it sums up you up pretty well..... its very tough keeping things going as it is but you think we should be fined....your entitled to your opinion but as some one else said the game was played and no one died
on the game i have to say i can only laugh at your 3 lined assesment..... i honestly cant remember ye getting out of yer own half in the second half and had we got a goal earlier it would have been completely different game.... the same could be said when we played grattan cause at 2-1 down we camped in there half but just couldnt score....dont get me wrong thats our problem and not yers but its small bit annoying they way ye make it sound like a no contest just like that.... a bit too smug for me.... we have lost our last three on the bounce but i can assure you we will give leeside a hell of a game on sunday and we will turn this around.....

[scaffa7]

Littleman its only a little banter did nt realise people are so uptight on this forum,so let me apoligise for calling it boring ......it was in fact quite on a par with some of Barbaras novels !

[timmypav]

We need to get back to basics, we have a semi-final and a quarter-final coming up so hopefully this week was just a blip.
DCross, ye were on the referees back from the word go and your line did not help either. If ye concentrate on the football side of it a bit more ye could win something this year.

[timmypav]

That was a good win for ye yesterday Timmy. I don't know what your thoughts are on how the league is gonna finish up but athis stage I thinks its between Bohs and Rathcoole. Those were the two most impressive teams we have played.Radio, It looks like both of them will be there at the finish but i think there is a lot of twists and turns yet. Fairview are flying at the moment. Rylane trashing passage 4-0 yesterday. And Like Scaffa7 says ye will have a say in who wins it also.

[littleman]

Hindsights a wonderful thing,an im worse to react,Im goin to look in the bright side of things from here on.

[thebooboys]

Scaffa, where have you been??? what club you with?? You must have realised that this is Littleman.ie...................

[Innishvilla]

Huge game for us this weekend - away to a high flying Killumney United in County Cup 1/4 final - we could also do with a favour from Wilton in AUL 2 to take a few points off Glenvale...

Hard to believe Knockraha have won AUL 2B in March. While we're on a run of 10 wins and 1 draw in our last 11 league games and still only top by 2 points with Glenvale having two games in hand...
To be clear I'm congratulating Knockraha - very impressive form this season - won league at a canter and well done to them but just wondering how no other team in the division has seemed to push them...

Seeing as I'm on it. It is also very annoying that in all AUL 2 divisions there is only one team being promoted this season. I brought it up earlier in the season (that was when Innishvilla were not on a good run of form) and now it is even more galling when it looks like it could directly affect the team.

[thebooboys]

Inish i know you dont mean Knockraha no harm but trust me they are a very good team and have beaten a few 1st division teams in cups this year, including an impressive win over Kilumney, 4-1 win there or something. Theyve also not suffered as much from the erins own factor this year. Division 1 is a totally different kettle of fish next year though and the knockraha lads know that themselves.

[Shilts]

Apologies if I said that you didnt warrant a place in the premier. I meant that last wednesday's problems wern't worthy of a premier team. Your attitude and style of play has been great since you got promoted and you always give us a decent game. (Beat us twice last season!!!). As for the fine...I'll let you off with a warning this time HAHA

As for my assessment of the game... I only kept that short as I had other business to discuss. But realistically, if you are 3 nil down after 30mins and reduced to 10 men at that stage against ANY of the premier teams you are at least 20/1 that you'll get a result. Am I wrong??? The goals scored dictate the play from that moment on. Why go for 5 or 6 when the game was over. That said, you lot kept trying to play a nice style and didnt give up as some teams do. Best of luck for the rest of the season and I really hope that you go all the way in the AOH after going so close last year.

At least your 1st kit was kept clean for the weekend ;)

[littleman]

:silly:Ah Boo,you say such nice things about me.I didnt know you cared.How sweet.

[the owl]

After 2 consecative defeats to Leeds and Leeside we really need to get something from our game against Pearse who have been going quite well recently.
Think its great to see such an open league in Prem A. It keeps all teams interested and in with a shout to get promoted rather than having teams struggling for a team towards the end of the season when they dont have anything to play for. Its such a fine line between 2nd and 2nd last !!!. Behind Kanturk who i think have it in their own hands now it is impossible to call with everyone taking points off each other.

Beat us 3-0 in the aoh up there!!Very good side!nice mix of skill and physicality!!

Couldnt agree with you more owl!its like the championship in england,anybody can beat anybody!!
We had bad set back against macroom who are 8 points behind with 3 games in hand!whoever goes on a good run now!tough one saturday against leeds who if they win are right in the mix again

[marty]

On division 1A it looks like it will be Bohs to win it ,cant see them losing too many at home and if they stay fit and dont lose too many to the gaa season they should go up as champions.Passage will have a say yet as our home form is good way too far behind to mount a challenge but with a quarter of the county and semi of st michaels we might gat a trip to the cross just yet who knows

Marty what happened ye against Rylane, I was convinced they had fallen apart after some of there most recent results they may have had a bigger selection of players available on Paddys day or was it the other way around were ye short on the day?

Wel the only thing could go wrong at moment is injuries but wer doing ok..........As towards the GAA we dont have anyone playing it thank god so thats one less worry but as i said before we have a lot of games in hand and when the night games come in its going to be really tough on players playing 1 or even 2 midweek games which happened to us 3 years ago when we played 8 games in 2 weeks which was a bloody disgrace if you ask me........

Oh and Boo i play for the mighty Bohs!!!!!

[marty]

Yeah the games come thick and fast from April but Ye should have a squad to cope its a shame really that only 1 goes up as 3rd/4th placed teams will lose interest when first becomes a cert.

As for our Rylane game I think with us out of the League its just hard to stay motivated when you hop out of the car onto a pitch like theirs and want to play ball,they deserved their win and were delighted with it we must be carefull now to steer clear of the bottom 2!!

[littleman]

Scaffa,Boo has an aversion to Norries.I think it hurts his neck lookin up at us on the hill,poor fella.But still ya have to love him all the same.

Would have to agree with ya about the pitch its chronic its like they found a cow field and stuck 2 goal posts in it and then lined it,its awful that and Ballintotis's pitch its just as bad thank god we came away from Rylanes pitch wit a good 5-2 win

[scaffa7]

Now littleman are you tryin to draw me into yer little battle of words....;)

[littleman]

I wouldnt dare,,,,Us Gratts like to share the love an he dont have any love for us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or'maybe its just me he aint got no love for.

[scaffa7]

Could be you littleman!.......Maybe when Bohs are playing Premier ill join the battle for now i think ill sit on the sidelines ha ha

[thebooboys]

CHAMPS meet the CHUMPS 2morrow, the chumps are worried, will wilton dash the dream from underanathh the chaMPS

[thebooboys]

Will be a good game all the same

[Legohead]

Well now that the crystal ball is gone back to Argos for a refund it's Back to manual predictions.........
Paddy Power has paid out on Grattan for the league, he said "Grattan have a tough enough run in .... but crucially they Play Kinsale, Leeside and Wilton at home, all the above mentioned teams like to play free flowing football and O'Neil Park is a field which prohibits this style of play. The team they have away (Park Utd) would be more suited to this stifling arena.
So for myself and Paddy Power its Grattans year.
Congratulations Little Man.

[scaffa7]

Just back from a cracking game in the Fairfield where it finished Bohs 3-3 Donoughmore.Bohs took the league after about 5 mins with a great passing goal that was if it was on the telly they would be calling a contender for goal of the season!
But it all changed 5 or 6 mins later when Donooughmore hit 3 goals in next 15mins and led 3-1 at half time.We in fairness came out fighting in the 2nd half and after about 5 mins hit one back and 10 mins later scored a great 3rd, the last 20 mins were even enough and a draw was a fair result in the end.Credit to the Donoughmore no7 who hit a good hat trick but we ll take the draw considering we were 3-1 down at half time.

[olachico]

Blackstone 2-1 Leeds on Paddys day and Blackstone 2-0 Castleview today! Two wins which we needed

No, I just thought it was a crackin way to announce a massive 3 points.

[bogwarrior]

Unbelievable results this weekend. Leeside spanked Blarney st!! 5-0? I thought ye were going to do us a favour lads? Well it would have made no difference anyway, beaten away to glenthorn, not at home as it says on the aul website, up in blackpool. Not that it matters, we still lost and we're more than likely out of the league again. Running out of steam at the wrong time of the season. It wasn't a game we should have lost, created more than enough chances but didn't take them. Time wasting from the very first minute didn't help but this is still a game that we lost ourselves. I thought Wilton might do us a favour but unfortunately not. Grattan and Leeside going like the clappers! Pick a winner from the two of them lads? Not easy. Still dejected.
