Anybody else hear that Ray O'Leary is after signing with Rockmount? Thought it was bull but I just heard it from a second source

Don't think that he would sign for them seems committed to Blarney but you'd never know

There is going to be a lot of change in the Blarney team. New management coming in, John Meade has joined Cork City, Shane Barrett is supposedly going back to League of Ireland as well, Conor Meade isn't suppose to be signing back for them which leaves Kenny Coleman as the last remaining Ex-Cobh player and he may decide to follow them out.

This crops up every year, but I'd be amazed if it happened.New management in Blarney though.

Shane Barrett signed for Waterford United last week. Conor Meade is playing ball in America at the moment too. Is James McCarthy still with Blarney?

[Gobias]

Is James McCarthy still with Blarney?

Not really sure about his situation, he only played 2 or 3 times last season with them when their other keepers were away or injured.
Don't think he is expected to sign for next season.

Met Ray last night, he is going nowhere. Few new signings lined up for Blarney next season too app. Decent management set up planned for next season. Hopefully this season Blarney can push on to rattle Rockmount. About time Blarney or Douglas stepped up to the plate. :)

Anybody any update on garryduff?CITs appeal against result was thrown out, although Garryduffs players and management admitted immeadiately after the game, had some players phone CIT guys to apologise and asked not to lodge appeal as it would almost certainly mean the end for them in the MSL,

Appeal thrown out on grounds that Garryduff didnt receive their copy of the complaint form.

Typical.......

[ballsac7]

Nice easy way out for the MSL - Garryduff get away with it once again.

[rambler14]

any other manager changes? Seems to be alot this year already.

Alan O'Sullivan is no longer in charge of Cobh Wanderers. No manager appointed as of yet.

[ballsac7]

Heard Tiny is gone from Douglas Hall........

[ballsac7]

Paddy O'Keeffe new manager of Corinthians - bit of a surprise that one?

[skinny11]

seems to be lots of chopping and changing going on , only club that seems settled is rockmount with hoggy and kev mul gone from the hall and few big losses for avondale and blarney doesnt seem like any1 can topple em

maybe john caulfieds ucc can

[Billynomates]

Mark o sullivan and Eoin lougheed have officially signed for City. big blow to avondalehttp://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/3756/

[ringmahon4ever]

Prepare now for your trip to the 2nd Division because that is where Barry McGovern will bring you. Why do you think Everton parted company with him ? He is a gentleman, an average coach but unfortunately he will expect somebody in Ringmahon to do the training for him. But remember he is not a manager, he is clueless in that department.
thats a bit harsh.must be speaking from expierience are ya.hopefullt that wont happen to us

[collcorforever]

Alan o Sullivan ex Marys and Cambridge from Cobh have taken over the Hall, never heard of them, anyone ever work with them??
Strange one for the Hall but maybe they think they need a bit of northside steel in the club!!!

[ballsac7]

What about the Senior manager at Corinthians - do you know much about him?

[Billynomates]

Neil Horgan from the hall has also signed for city

[olachico]

Is that Martin Cambridge that was also with Waterford??

[skinny11]

martin camebridge is the assistant manager with waterford former cobh u21 manager

[collcorforever]

What about the Senior manager at Corinthians - do you know much about him?


All I know is he was in charge of Douglas Hall Junior side that won the Double 2 yrs in a row 08 and 09. He also played senior for Douglas Hall and Corinthians.

Was that not Gavin Roche in charge of that team?

[skinny11]

Ya thats what I thought as well....

[skinny11]

have been hearing rumours that some of the douglas hall lads arent happy with camebridge as assistant manager
tiny went before he got pushed as hackett, cullinane and kev mull refused to sign under him seems kev mull was all set to sign for casement untill tiny went

[collcorforever]

Paddy and Gavin did the job together, Ballsac you should know your from douglas!! I take it your involved with Douglas Hall, are all the rumours true???? Skinny11 seems to be in the know!!!

Only looking in from the outside so the only name I was familiar with was Gavin Roche. I did hear Tiny Cotter was gone but don't know why and the first I heard of a replacement was when I read Skinny11's post. I'll do some digging this week :p

[collcorforever]

Good man, cant beat a bit of MSL gossip ha

[Crosshaven AFC]

[skinny11]

its offical martin cambridge new douglas hall manager with his assistant manager not named yet

[ballsac7]

Martin Cambridge was assistant to Hendo down in Ramblers and was very highly regarded by all accounts. Tiny was part of the furniture there, no doubt he'll have plenty of offers.

[Southsider]

Cambridge is a bluffer if you ask me. He's only a mouth piece. I know alot of fellas who played when he was with Cobh and thay all say the same thing BLUFFER,he wont last pi##ing time there i reckon. Player power got rid of Tiny,dont know about Hackett or Cullers but Kev Mull was out the gap if he stayed..

[skinny11]

cullers wasnt even getting a look in there when tiny was manager even th the best players the year cj had em

been very quiet on the transfer side

[collcorforever]

I heard the Hall lads had a meeting and all signed!!!! Cambridge said he was bringing a few players with him and getting rid of the dead wood who ever they are???
They are more than welcome in Corinthians, but I suppose a new manager from the outside will always bring a few new players and upset a few lads who have been regulars in past few years.

[skinny11]

spoke to 1 or 2 of the players tonight seems there happy with cambridge and he has a few signings lined up all the hall are really short are a gk cm and a strker and they could challenge rockmount . the hall should should bring in a player from their juniors olly i think his name is lazy i was told but seen him a few times looks quaility like a young rory beechinor

There is a rumour on the City forum that Daniel O'Leary the Passage keeper who was supposed to be signing for City has now in fact signed for Douglas Hall.

[Footballer]

For what I'm after hearing Mulcahy & Strachan haven't signed.
Why the club wouldn't back Tiny is beyond me. 3 finals & second in the league was a successful season for Douglas Hall. To bring in a fella with the reputation of Cambridge is puzzling to say the least(It's not a good reputation). Cambridge was to go in as assistant manager with Alan O ' Sullivan as the manager. He turned it down due to work commitments so Cambridge is the only one left for the committee to take. This doesn't seem right to me. The Hall have a strong set up & a good team. All they need is a good manager. They should of stuck with Tiny for one more season or at least got in a quality manager.
Seeing as Tiny had to deal with Mulcahy not wanting to play & Culnane the same, they still finished well. They had a tough start but turned it around. Look at the table "it never lies"!
Cambridge will be gone by Xmas & the committee will then turn to CJ or someone

[ballsac7]

There is a rumour on the City forum that Daniel O'Leary the Passage keeper who was supposed to be signing for City has now in fact signed for Douglas Hall.

I was at City v Limerick last week and Daniel O'Leary was the sub keeper. I doubt whether he would leave City so soon as he is obviously signed.

[Footballer]

Cambridge gone from Douglas Hall. Phil Harrington offered the job. Has yet to accept
That was fast!!! I said Cambridge would be gone by xmas. :-)))))))

Committee need to make up their mind I'd say. Maybe third time lucky......

I heard something similar about Mark Sull - that he isnt with City either - gotta love all these rumours!!

[razor]

Just heard that Phil Harrington is the new Douglas Hall manager with Philip Long as his assistant.

[skinny11]

did anybody watch the blarney sevens final last night what a cracker some good players on show

[Bodie]

Stephen Neiland has taken over at CIT..not sure what happenned with Dobbs as thought he did a good job out there last year...

[skinny11]

thomas hughes avondale and giddy from blarney formerly lakewood both sign for rockmount

[Crosshaven AFC]

Crosshaven AFC require Goalkeeper for the coming season in MSL Senior Div 2 - if interested please pm this post or contact manager@crosshavenafc.com
Thanks

[skinny11]

dave warren and derek varian have both left for douglas hall my sources inform me

[champagne]

Alright lads, I've been out of the country for a few years but back in Cork now so looking to keep up-to-date on the latest goings-on in the MSL.

Have there been many pre-season friendlies so far? In the 1st division thread I noticed that Midleton beat Fermoy. Have Midleton added to their squad after going up? Surely Friday night football would've swayed a few at least!

[collcorforever]

They would be 2 great signings for the hall, they are also asked Derek Caughlan ex Cork City to come up, they will have a huge squad next year and will be tough to keep them all happy!!!
