Jealousy gets ya knowhere keeper! On another strong rumours John Ryan taking over midleton and a host of players following suit.

[duckdu]

Oh and it it was city hall. A free bee by all accounts! Tax payers money no doubt ;) get over it team of the year and all that like.

[fifa]

Jealousy? It's a well known fact Avondale have an extremely good connection in the echo and the most photographed person on it is noel longpro the best thing to do is don't buy it.

It's his role to promote the club and he does that extremely well.

I've tried to poach him for City but he's dedicated to the Avondale cause I'm afraid.

[fifa]

Well it would be a lot easier on other clubs pro's if they had his connection in the local paper

After a four and a half hour meeting last night UCC have been crowned champions for the 2013/14 season and rightly so,I believe leeds should have been deducted points but I don't believe the league should have given them back to other teams but when they sparked it off by handing Everton points back they opened a can of worms,anyway congratulations to all involved,article to be published in tomorrow's evening echo!

Last night? I thought it was last Tuesday?

I agree with your assessment, it's obvious the MSL didn't think this one through at all when they gave Everton those points.
A total mess.

You should be banned from this forum for putting up this nonsense. You will be found out when the Evening Echo comes out tomorrow.

Casement signing a major player this weekend. Everton struggling to sign anyone. Cobh Wanderers have weakened d'dales chances by signing John Meade and Chubbs. Blarney doing things right this year. Can't wait for season to start.

Who's off to Casement? Could do with a few new players for 1st division. Set to lose one or two aswell I'd say so expect plenty of activity there. There main man in the middle of the park is in fierce demand.

Bad move from him I'd say. Long way to go with transfers yet I'd say- good luck.

Sounds good,FairPlay to ye,but find it strange that no Msl junior team can't make it in when it's at the same level of Aul,think it's a bit unfair,because it is a league that is taken a serious as any other.

[beautiful game]

Had to weigh up all the pros and cons and came to the conclusion that we need this competition to be treated seriously and possibly create large attendances. The prospect of a Park United, Blarney Street, Kilumney or Kilreen Celtic playing against Avondale, Rockmount, St Mary's and Douglas Hall seniors as opposed to the juniors meant we had to go with the senior teams. It might appear one sided and the likelihood is an MSL winning team but it's a nice challenge to all of the AUL teams to put one over the so-called superior level of football. It should be interesting.

[Sparks]

When would this competition run? Pre season? During the season? At the end?

Do you not think the season is long enough for the top teams without adding more silly cup comps. Avondale didn't finish playing until June this yr, and once the clocks went forward they were playing 3 to 4 games per wk, how do propose they find the time/interest for this comp?

[el nino coro]

Games will be run as an 8 team knockout with an open draw,1/4 finals will be on st stephens day,semi finals on new years eve and the final will be played on new years day

[Pass pass pass]

Think its a great idea. Fair play to you. Aul teams will benefit greatly from these games. Get a real view of the level you should be aspiring too. Hopefully theyd be decent competitive games. Think ur guaranteed crowds as a lot of buddies could be playing agaonst each other ie blarney st castleview/rockmount. Kilreen/avondale etc

[Chiefscout]

What if teams won't play in it?

[killer"B"]

St Michaels v Avondale Utd; in the fai cup 3rd round

Cork City v Bohemians
Derry City v Malahide Utd;
St Patricks Athletic v Shelbourne;
Dundalk v Galway United;
Shamrock Rovers v Longford Town

[beautiful game]

I'm hopeful that when we launch the competition and show the clubs what is on offer then they will all endorse it. Teams are entitled not to take part and if that happens then we will deal with that. The hope is to have quarter-finals in March, semi-finals in April and the final in May. I take the point about teams already having a hectic schedule but give me Avondale's predicament all day long over that of a less successful team. Winning this trophy will be I hope deemed as a huge triumph for any club.

[Goggs]

Its a crazy idea all ready the Kean Cup The Doni ford and the o connell are classed as Micky Mouse cups, no one ever feilds a strong team in the munster cup and now you want to add another along with the intermediate cup the Fai cup and the Beamish as well as the league. At what point when this was suggested did you think it was a good option.

[beautiful game]

It's potentially a fantastic competition and has been met with enthusiasm by both the AUL and the MSL. If the clubs that qualify for this for the 2015-16 season relay to their respective leagues that they want no part to play in it then we will pull the plug on it without any delay. It's different, it's imaginative and again we'd be hopeful that the club that wins this competition will be glad to be crowned Cork Sports News Champions League winners and they'll have a wonderful trophy to display for their efforts. We're not going to invest significant finances in this competition if it's going to be treated with distain so only time will tell. The possibility of a draw featuring Avondale v Park, Blarney Street v Rockmount, Kilreen v Everton and Glen Celtic v St Mary's should ensure it's not played out as a Mickey Mouse competition. As a manager, I'd certainly be looking to qualify for it despite a fixture backlog.

[Goggs]

In theory it sounds great but it won't be taken seriously by the top teams for example if it's played in April that's the business end of the season for the league especially I can't see Avondale Ucc and Rockmount fielding strong teams against the likes of park Killeen etc and this will only devalue the competition. Already there is too many competitions if they drop the end of season cups the o Connell and the Doni Ford then maybe it might have a chance. I know I sound like a killjoy here but spare a thought for the Top clubs and their managers it's just another fixture congestion.

[Sparky]

I don't wanna come across as negative but Goggs has a fair point! The Donie Forde is a shambles, the O'Connell Cup is the same and the Keane cup is a pre season cup for fitness. This tournament takes from the beamish cup which is the biggest domestic cup and always overlooked due to Rockmount / Avondale domination of Intermediate cup in last 10 years!! Even the munster senior cup gets little recognition for god sake! Finally and again not trying to knock this idea but shouldn't Avondale or UCC or Rockmount wipe the floor with Killumney/Park? It's not as if Wilton are blowing teams away every week. In my opinion the league and beamish cup should draw the crowds.

Took in Midelton v Cork City U19 this morning. 4-2 city. Midelton will struggle this year unless they get in a few, I have no doubt they where missing a few through holidays and so on but at same time they where beaten pretty easily by 16/17/18 year olds.

Kevin Murray leaving Midleton, very poor team assembled by Steve Mul so far
