Cork AUL Premier & Premier A 2014/15

[sorryburnsy]

That's some turn around from 3-1 down to winning 6-3,fair play to them to bring it down to the final game between Killeen and grattan.some top blokes involved in glenthorn Liam foley,packie Cassidy,Jason McGrath to name but a few,be some way for Donal nipper Cronin to bow out word on the street is he is stepping down and the club have approached Alan Martin to take over.

[sorryburnsy]

On the glen situation,if their a team folds will the b team be made to go up the premier a division or will they stay in the first division????????premier a division will be interesting next season.

[sorryburnsy]

Rocky start to your street come back in hearing 1for. Heard there's up to 5 or 6 players leaving. Gollie and Paul Mooney leaving for other clubs and Crowe retiring I heard today
Can't see crow retiring from the game I know there a mutual respect between him and paulie,no disrespect to gollie but he is a squad player at the street,maybe he knows if paulie brings in a few new faces his playing time will be hampered even more.heard Fleming is retiring to concentrate on golf,Eddie kenny is gone due to work commitments.

Clever clever move by Paulie there. Two lads who will draw players in for sure. If those two signings are true for Knocka Celtic then they've done very well..

Daniels some man for the sweets 😂😂

[sorryburnsy]

Daniels some man for the sweets 😂😂

Think that's the only reason Daniels is joining them.paulie told him they're changing the name of the club to quality street,only joking a wealth of experience between the pair.they'll be a different side next season.hearing Eoin feehily returning to killumney as well

[Kick-off]

lads whats yere opinion on kilreen and grattan tonight best of luck to all of grattan some top men involved hopefully marky cans gets a medal he deserves

[sorryburnsy]

Tonight's game depends on what team kilreen field,will it be made up of the youth team or will they have all their big guns? All the pressure is on Grattan,but they've enough experience to deal with it,be a shame to see them let it slip at the final hurdle when they have been out in front for so long,in the event of a draw anyone know when the playoff is pencilled in for?I'll go for Grattan to win 2-1

[offside Ref]

Finished 1-1 in the farm playoff up in grattans pitch next wensday 3rd June. Grattan won the toss!

[killer"B"]

Kilreen Celtic v Grattan Utd, Murphys Farm, D.Cronin 1-1 here another master class in reffing here ffs brutal isn't the word

[rooster]

Kilreen Celtic v Grattan Utd, Murphys Farm, D.Cronin 1-1 here another master class in reffing here ffs brutal isn't the word

wouldnt be the first time the refs sided with Grattan this year !!

[matchsticks]

Lads in all the years playing and watching soccer iv never seen a worse refereeing performance than 2nite. Who ever wins next week deserves it. Il have to side with grattan seeing as their at home. The long ball and set piece tactics will be in full flow

[killer"B"]

wouldnt be the first time the refs sided with Grattan this year !!
ID HAVE TO AGREE there game against park was another master class but a certain AOH final ref !! the aul head powers out watching this game tonight you you ever think they will pull the finger out and do something about the stander of reffing in this leauge ?!?!

[matchsticks]

Absolutely awful refereeing performance, worst I've seen for a long long time it was at times embarrassing.

Grattans inability to break down 9 men for half an hour in my opinion has just cost them the league. I fancy Glenthorn all day and I think they are deserved winners. Glenthorn will score 1 or 2 and k can't see where Grattan will get 2 or 3 goals from.

Lads in this day and age flipping a coin to see who plays at home in a league decider with so much at stake is absutely scandalous out of the AUL, they don't have much to do all year the least they could do is pick a neutral Venue and let the game be played fairly.

They should be ashamed of themselves

And could have easily lost it

[chilloutref]

That referee should hold his head in shame distroyed a good game by sending off 2 Kilreen players easy saying who he wanted to win that league , the Aul should have a good look at the standard of there referees for next season because it's a disgrace with fellas like D.Cronin getting paid for that tonight . Neutral venue for the game should be organised in all for Wednesday week no team should of gotten home advantage for the desider and of all pitches then grattans pitch where horses be kept on

[cornerflags]

One of the worst performances from a ref I've witnessed in a long time. The AUL should be ashamed of themselves putting him in charge of a big game with so much at stake he was as one sided as you could get and clearly knew who he wanted to win from the start.Fair play to Kilreen who played well to the end despite the shocking calls being made.
Having a team with home advantage in a league play off is scandalous and not fair. Tossing a coin in this day and age another genius move from the AUL . Joke.

[Pass pass pass]

That second red card was a farcical decision. Lads we shouldnt even be talking about a play off. Amateur or not its a LEAGUE played over 18 matches Plenty of ways for it to be sorted. And the aul have tossed a coin for every play off game they have ever had id say. Couldnt think of a neutral venue as every aul pitch around the city is poor.

[legend23]

I'd say the reason why the aul do the toss of a coin situation is because they don't want to fit the bill of a neutral venue and refs and linesmen also.

[the owl]

Huge Congrats to Carrigtohill Utd who after tonight's win are promoted. Well deserved for the club and the people involved. Have come a long way in recent years and hopefully that will continue !!!

[striker09]

Great night for carrigtwohill tonight and me personally with promotion to premier division huge congrats to everyone involved with us . Roll on next season

[Luckbox]

Cracking season for Carrigtwohill, AOH Cup Finalists, promotion to the Premier and Second Team winning their division, huge congratulations to all involved.

Fabulous season by any clubs standards. It's a real healthy sign when both team from the one club thrive together. They've got a nice set up and a pretty big area to draw from down there, who knows how strong they could be down the line.

[oldlegs]

Congrads to Carrig showed great character desire and heart to gain promotion to premier well done massive season for the club and just shows when the right structures are put in place the results will follow . Fair play to all involved from top to bottom of club great work put in by all from under 8 all the way up to the men's teams .

[DNG2424]

Last nights match was interesting . Kilreen had no intention of rolling over and handing Grattan the league . The referee had a different idea I think . I never saw this guy reffing a match before and I hope to never again . Is he new to ref panel? Missed some of the match but when I arrived I overheard a few neutrals complaining about him. The second sending off was bad. The centre half had kicked the ball before the whistle had even blown.

The play off is next wednesday in Grattan park and hopefully the aul many who was watching last night will appoint strong ref and linesmen.

[injurytime]

Think grattan chance of winning league is over after last night.eric shinkwin will be a huge loss could nearly walk to his car after the game not sure was it his knee or ankle he injured..harsh sending off on Murray s behalf but rules are rules kick ball away after whistle blown is yellow card..also bilko has stag party this weekend is home late Tuesday night be huge affect on league..delighted kilreen just didn't roll over an let them pick up league

[sorryburnsy]

Wasn't at the game last night so can't comment on the ref, I think Grattan will rue not finishing the job last night especially against 9 men, Shinkwin will be a huge loss if he is out of the playoff because Grattan have no ready made replacement with having such a small squad, I feel the momentum is with Glenthorn now, I agree with the point it should be played on a neutral venue like Castleview or Temple pitch and they should insist on linesmen for a game of that stature. Any truth in the Kilreen keeper going overboard with his celebrations at the end of the game?

Yes kilreen keeper did go overboard with celebration he shouts out to grattan's players I hope glenthorn bate the balls of ye it could of easily ended up in a brawl

Could have, easily. In the middle of the melee with the second sending off someone called someone a Sp*****, I heard it, others did, no action taken. I've got no idea who said it, but it was said. It was Shinky's hamstring, pulled up in first half when he landed. He will play Wednesday, no way he misses that game.

[Game-of-sloggs]

Lads I was on here numerous times at the start of the season talking about poor refereeing people only notice it in big games but the same refs have been poor all year and some every year the AUL should really have a look at the ref panel some of them are jokes. Any idea who the ref is for the Premier play-off

Sloggs maybe you can answer me here. I remember years ago coaching a kids team with Kilreen, think they were 8's at the time. The fella who used to help me out with the team wasn't around for a game one weekend cause he had paid €48 to go to a 2 day course in the mardyke after which he was then able to ref Cork Schoolboys League games. Fact. Now, he never actually reffed one, he just done it to have. Surely this isn't the case with AUL refs? You sit down for 2 days and then your handed a whistle?? Going off last night, maybe it is?? Just curious how one goes about becoming a ref because it mustn't be that tough. Harry McGovern springs to mind as exceptionally bad.

Only one man to ref that game gene Stephens the best ref in the aul,threats players like adults and with respect and I think most teams admire him for that,standard of refs is brutal witnessed a certain Mr murphy a few weeks ago and he was absolutely brutal,unfit,poor decisions and bad attitude,2 refs that I taught were very good when I saw them this year were Liam Murphy and Owen harte.

He did a two day course and was able to ref school boys? I guess most the AUL refs did a 3 day course so. 2 days is ridiculous. 2 years ago I was spealkimg to a ref in the airtricity league now and he told me If I wanted to be a ref at the the time there was a €75 course I think in Middleton but if you got through the first level it moves on and I think he said said you do it for a few months and there was an opportunity to go to Italy and get coached and ref like lower tournaments under age I presume but he said if I got into that and progressed then I'd get the same ref badges as him or something like that. I would of preferred the two days for 48 though 😉😉

I agree Gene is the right man I think. I've seen Minty have a few great games this year also I don't think he does premier or premier though

yeah man, two days. Well two days in total time, it started like Friday afternoon, then into Saturday and like one hour on Sunday. Craziness. 48 euro. Sure if you done two games a weekend your course fee is paid back!

[matchsticks]

Agree with ye here lads the only decent ref is gene Stevens. And even with gene I feel in the big games he's not fit enough to get up and down the pitch anymore.

[1fortheTeam]

And even with gene I feel in the big games he's not fit enough to get up and down the pitch anymore.get some one off footie to do it sure every one is an expert and knows all ..there are a few good refs and gene is prob in the top one he dosent need to get up and down top man to he is .

[matchsticks]

That's easy for you to say standing on the line I never said he wasn't a top ref. I said he's not able to get up and down anymore. I'm not picking this info from thin air. Your just afraid to criticise any ref on here in case your team next year gets any disadvantage. We all can't agree on here that's what opinions are about

[QurikeCurlyArmy]

What about Jon Hayes and Johnpaul Nagle taken over Pearse Celtic talks of Kelvin Connally be joining in coming weeks?

Great post!!! 👍

[Horse24]

Lads, the keys to the refs standard being "equally bad" as it was 30 years ago is that we are doing the same thing. They judge themselves - Has anyone here ever been asked in an official capacity what their opinion of a ref was? I struggle to think of another area of life where I pay money and have absolutely no comeback. If I dont like the Taosieach, I dont vote for him - If I dont like Sky I go to UPC - If I dont like ESB - I go to Airtricity. We dont even know the criteria used for judging refs. Yet we pay €600 a year. As was said, €75 quid and two days and then they have the power to dish out yellows(or fines). After 2 days? We are in Blatter dreamland territory here!!

On the other side of it, I know one of the top young refs leaving because of line abuse. It works both ways.

If given the opportunity - would guys on here go to the AUL meetings or is it just hot air?

[Pass pass pass]

Without the refs we wouldnt have games to play,view or manage in. 48 quid for the abuse they get is not worth it. The ref the other night was called a ******* 3 times in about 40 seconds after a sending off he got wrong. Players managers make as many mistakes in games and get nowhere near the same level of abuse. its a 2 day introductory course and then you start off in u11 u12 games while being constantly observed. The quicker you pick things up the quicker you are moved up the ranks.
