some big names being mentioned all ready!! avondale dont seem to be resting on their laurels, but i'd be fairly sure that they are not the only one's, goin to be some big phone bills coming through club's door's soon!! douglas will surely hold on to the core of their players, at least for one more push next year after being so close, guess it depends on who they get to take over

[maninthemiddle]

I heard last night that Avondale have approached 2 or 3 douglas hall players and big players in saying that .Also how can the hall have approached buttzy when they dont even have a manager ,

Willie byrnes isnt leaving because of travel he is leaving because he had a falling out with billy over not playing after getting fit and since he is living in cloyne would be the sensible option to join Midelton .

thats a bit of a contradiction there hawk. he was thinking of it last year and was asked by midleton but stayed but now i guess its the right time and the travel.

[Fantasista]

Thats a fairly bold prediction redandwhite saying that corintians will finish 3rd have any names on their new signings

[douglas local]

kelvin is the man with two surprise helpers

[the hawk]

i know who the suprise helpers are haha

[Goggs]

looks like corentians arent going to be just making up the numbers next year..early shoult is mayfield, midleton, everton and leeds to contest the drop....top 3 to be avondale, rockmount corentians in that order...looks like hall better make a decision fast as the likes of avondale/corentians will rip their squad apart given half a chance...for the leagues sake lets hope they stay together as the more strong teams that are there the better
Unless Corinthians have some sugar daddy involved redandwhite that's a bold prediction you must know something we don't.

ok i can see why you put us and midleton in there for the drop plus leeds as there just coming up,but where did everton come from,i think they finished 4th this season ahead of the likes of marys and blarney.i think the league has 3 groups,group A(favourites to win the league) would be rockmount avodale and douglas hall,group B (dark horses) would be mayfield,marys,blarney,everton and maybe midleton group C (new comers) collage cor and leeds.now to put us down for the drop is a bit harsh,there is very little if anything between us and all the teams i have in group B and on our day or lads or more than a match for the teams in group A.what is your club redandwhite,have you seen much of our lads playing this season

[maninthemiddle]

I'd agree with that mayfield. I think group A and B Wil be a lot closer this season as well with new management for rockmount and also Douglas showed last year it is now possible to compete at the top.

if group b teams can pick up the right player or 2 they need the could easily challenge.

Lots of dropped points last year by title contenders that you would nit normally have expected.

dont like their style of footie glenbuck, thats all bud!! christ you you are biased :-)Your laughable. ha ha

[Glenbuck]

Does Jesus follow Rockmount as well?I have been called worse Razor.

[Glenbuck]

that funny cos i also heard about buttsy going to the hall,i was thinking the days of big clubs taken small clubs players were gone when caulfield and billy cronin left.Mayfield are a BIG club. Would you agree.

Best of luck to him where ever he goes. Great servant to our club.

[mayfield utd]

Mayfield are a BIG club. Would you agree.

as i said we're in the group B part of the league,some of the younger lads have started to come of age the last 2 or 3 seasons (most of them or still only 20-25 years old with a few old heads).this season was only our 2nd season premier after a few yo yo years,so i wouldn't say we're a big club yet,maybe a few more years premier and a bit more silverware.going back only a few years ago (when we were a mid table 1st division team)teams like avondale or rockmount could come calling to our better players and say look your playing with a mid table 1st division team ,sign for us and we could win the premier league or intermediate cup,and of course that player head could be turned,even now avondale or rockmount could called to let's just say alberto(our keeper)and say nearly the same thing.i'll call us a big club when we can say those things to players we're trying to sign :-)

[Chiefscout]

Alot of activity going on transfer wise and rumor wise
Buttsy,Kinger,Darren heading to oz,also hoey meant to b going to the states.this despite Alan Martin claiming he keeping same squad as last year.Leeds looking to bring back few old faces.heard that rumours of scoops and Gareth leaving the boys in kilcully are well wide of the mark.if they add a few I reckon they cud b the dark horses...ps hope that yer respective managers can leave our castleview lads alone

i can't see hoey leaving doesn't he have a young family,unless there going with him,buttsy darren and kinger are all young men and i wouldn't think they'd have kids to be leaving behind them

[go for gold]

king and darren heading away alright but buttsy and hoey are going nowhere.mount are going 4 three leagues in a row next year for their first time and will be very hard to stop.

[maninthemiddle]

Alan Martin was a great player who stopped well before his time. a one club player and a great lad with plenty of medals to boot.

he has been around billy for over a decade so will have seen and done it all.

As we have seen in past good players don't always make gd managers so let's just wait and see...not knocking the man,but with alot of their junior players going senior next year I'm just questioning his pulling power

[go for gold]

played with alan,great player but unfortunately struggled with injurys later on in career.have know doubt he'll make a great manager aswell.will have no prob attracting plyers,after all their not a club in decline but the league champs.gaz leaving wouldn,t make any sense,no link to midleton and played in majority of big games last year.ray leahy to be alans no 2 with derek clarke still taking training.dave ahern will lend a hand also but will be playing one more year.rockmount in safe hands

pretty sure clarkey will be his no.2. gareth will sign with rockmount and i dont think the two lads will retire. heard that martin said its same again minus kinger n darren with the addition of gareth.

ya he was a great player won everything,but he was a two club man he spend a short spell at college cor the season before he retired then returned to rockmount as part of the management team.roy keane was around the greatest manager in english soccer and it didn't help his manager career did it,lol

billy cronin was like a snake charmer ,he use to get players under his spell and get them to sign,the man was brilliant at it,i don't know how he got so many players to sign for him over the years.i meet alan martin a few times very nice guy but i don't know if he has the same snake charm billy cronin has,in saying that not many managers in the league have it either.i wish the guy all the best but his got big big boots to fill.as regarding signing for us the manager is talking to a few players but i can't say who just yet,and as far as i know all of this seasons squad or coming back next season

Alan carey linked with avondale. Also brendan o connell could be making a return.

Fair play to cotter for turning around Avondale.now there is a man and manager that players respect and will want to play for.no intimidation tactics from him or his staff during matches.

[casilles]

Dommy did do a short stint out castletreasure one time !! Lads Alan was a great footballer who took a break for a few years and returned as part of the Backroom staff at the mount. I know this year he became the asst manager after a year as a coach. Iv no doubt he will be a success. Him and Derek Clarke are well schooled.

On buttsy leaving from the players own mouth he is staying 100%. k

[Glenbuck]

Evening John. Must be yerself if ya think Cotts doesn't or didn't rely on intimidation. Take a bow if you believe that kid. One of the easiest players to wind up on a pitch. Cracking player an all as he was.

I don't think himself or marky Sul or many others are born and bred Dale either so direct some of the snide remarks about Mount to them as well some time.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum!
i know what you mean about cotts being easy to wind up on the pitch ,but i think what chiefscout ment was he doesn't screaming at refs and being heard 5 miles away like some other managers do

[maninthemiddle]

i played against john many times down the years and he was one tough opponent but he knew well how to leave a late leg or how to wind you up when the ref wouldnt be looking. all part of the game and as was said you could usually get under his skin as well.

as for management i only saw him close hand this season at the douglas hall game a few weeks back and he had plenty to say from the side about decisions. no ore than most but he certainly wasnt wearing a halo either.
