[Chiefscout]

When it comes to signings Chiefscout, you the man !!!
And in case you didn't know, Cork City are my beloved.

[Chiefscout]

Same robbie o connor that played with marys before i presume?
Ya.saw marys last season and they hadn't a left footer in their side bar feehan..think o Connor played left full for their juniors before

[six-yard-box]

Now now razor.we both know your an Avondale man...are ye after podge or o connell
Podge is done I'm sure two from everton and two from casement. Young fella Sullivan ex city youths good player.

[razor]

we both know your an Avondale manI think i'll have to move this one to the Rumours section.
And your success rate over there ain't the greatest. :D

[Chiefscout]

Podge is done I'm sure two from everton and two from casement. Young fella Sullivan ex city youths good player.

Thought podge might end at blarney since he living that way and has young baby..maybe he has a deal where he doesn't need to train?

[Chiefscout]

whats the story up everton pk way..seems to be only outgoings we are hearing about..is their trouble up there?

Dave welch heading back there from rockmount

[maninthemiddle]

As said above been watching for last 5/6 years so how would I know him and someone said he was cobh before that?...present day senior league is what we are here for,not to be on bout ex players and teams..I'm sorry now I even asked about Alan marvin

oh right so. we will only talk about what you want to talk about so. thats great.

[Chiefscout]

oh right so. we will only talk about what you want to talk about so. thats great.

Typical ref,robot humor :-).hold on and we will put your toys back into the pram

[Southsider]

Havent been on regularly in awhile but this thing is getting worse then Eastenders......Even Razor is getting in on the slagging. Any chance we can talk football again anytime soon ??? Has anybody an idea when the Keane Cup draw is on ?

[Chiefscout]

Anybody watching the blarney 7s?..heard alot of approaching from senior managers going on out there.

[townhall tez]

Heard beezer is bringing Kevin Mul and Richie Cronin to Crosshaven with him, if thats true fair play to hin, both quality players. Anyone know when the Keane Cup draw is on??

[collcorforever]

I heard Brendan O Connell Beezer has taken over Crosshaven Senior team and has signed a few of the douglas hall senior and junior players, he played with them for a few years and I heard a few lads have signed for him. best of luck to him below, he was great for us last year and will be a big loss!!

[ballsac7]

Ya heard Beezer has gone back to Crosshaven alright, good move by them as he is one of the most skillfull players in the League and should do a good job as player manager. Any idea who he is signing?

[Corinthionie]

Have not posted for a while and i must say i do agree with the lads who have commented on this turning into a slagging centre. But anyway, it is the off season i suppose. Firstly thanks to Beezer for his contribution to Corinthians, during all his spells in castletreasure, and best of luck with Crosshaven. Heard a rumour this morning that a certain centre half may be on his way to Everton park. If he does he will be a great addition. Gonna have a year playing at the back with his brother (i'll let ye work out the rest). Hopefully we can build on an amazing run in to last season and solidify ourselves back where we belong in the Premier. First year back is always gonna be tough though. Has any fallout started in the hall or is it all rumours? Some good footballers up there! On Rchie Cronin going to Crosser, i hope not and to be honest i'd be very surprised.

Looking forward to the season getting going. Not long now.................and an end to all this speculation !!

[villaman10]

if i'm reading your'e hints correct, i taught that the centre half in question was bound on his way to east cork!!

[ballsac7]

i find this hard to believe..why would senior douglas hall/college corentians players drop down to division 2 of the msl??i can understand beezer going back to his hometown club fair enough but i doubt any of the players ye mention will follow
Crosshaven started last season well but went rapidly downhill. They should have been promoted the year before. Speaking to someone involved there during the weekend I was told that there are plenty of talented players around Crosshaven but they are all playing for different clubs. Beezer is trying to unite all them & in fairness he won't put up with any crap. Maybe Richie & Kevin MUL are buying into this. Time will tell.

[BalagueFC]

Can someone tell me who the 3 Irish Amateurs playing with Douglas Hall are? I didn't think they had any players on that squad.

[razor]

There are only 2 Cork players in the current squad and both of them are Rockmount but Hall surely have players who were capped in the past.

[Gobias]

Deccie O'Connell was capped a couple of years back but I dont think they have had anyone else since then. A fair few of Cork players have been capped over the years so hall might have a few others

[Southsider]

Mark Murphy Graeme McCarthy and Brian Wilkinson played a challenge match around February or March but dont think they count as caps. Dave Hackett played with them about 3 years ago aswell.

[Southsider]

That rumour is going around now the past 3 seasons about Willie Byrne. Only time will tell i suppose but i doubt it.

Ok thanks, I was told from a friend who is involved with a Douglas Hall Schoolboys team that the senior squad are going to lose two of their better players from last season. I thought he said they were Irish Amateurs but I might be mistaken. I am not sure of their names either.

Id wager that Kevin Mulcahy is one

[go for gold]

Anybody watching the blarney 7s?..heard alot of approaching from senior managers going on out there.

at sevens tonight and there was some class players on show.majority of mount lads played with brannigans who were easy winners against a poor castle team .monty scored 2 and buttsy got 1 in a 3 nil win.must be favs now.they play geaneys now who hammered the glenryan.eoin geaney and egan in fine form.last years winners all rounders also had an easy win 7 -1 i think.more mount lads on show here with gaffers ,dave ahern and ed buckley on show.mark sull from dale played well scoring a couple and buckley got a brace as well.they now play wisetech who won one nil.missedthat game.expect brannigans and rounders in final.looking forward to weds semis.

Didn't Derek Varian get a call up a few years ago when with Kinsale...

[ball-hop]

Deccie has about 20 caps for the Amateur side; Mark Murphy and Graham McCarthy played in a friendly last season against Northern Ireland (which does count for a cap as far as I know) and, yes, Derek Varian also played for the Amateurs a couple of seasons ago.

Kevin doesn't qualify... signed professionally previously

[Sparky]

With all speculation of new signings I was wondering if there are any players gone via retirement? Hartigan, Ray Leahy, Slatts, Dave O'Keeffe, Pat Keane etc? Some players just go quietly so I was wondering if the SQUADS are down players from last year?

[go for gold]

ray leahy playing on def.just heard that pat keane did his cruciate.happened in o connell cup final against mount.hard to come back after that for him.like to wish him a speedy recovery.great player

[Corinthionie]

Gotta give credit to Brian O Connor, corinthians chairman, for having the bottle to offer 35million to Man City for Tevez. We needed to make a big statement first year back, i think this could be it !!!

Hartigan did retire, Slatts not sure but might have to with Mick Devine(ex Cork City) signing with Fermoy. Ray will still play but with Rockmount i dont know about that. Dave o Keeffe playing on aswell for another year.

[Southsider]

Id wager that Kevin Mulcahy is oneHe'll be staying where he is. Moorsy is a huge pull factor there as assistant. Great move by Kelvin putting him in. I'll gladly wager with ya el nino;)...........

[mayfield utd]

i think slatts brother is manager of fermoy,isn't he.i can't see him letting his own brother retire or drop him for mick devine

[Clifford]

Slatts is retiring to concentrate on the Just4keepers coaching franchise (among other things) that he is running all over Cork city and county for underage keepers. No better man to be fair great experience and a natural with the coaching. Getting great support from the city clubs who understand the need to look after keepers properly.

His great buddy Mick Devine has agreed to come on board with us in fermoy and we are lucky to have such a top top replacement. Back at pre season on Sunday. Might have one more interesting signing, but more to follow. Hope all are well and enjoying the break. Like many others I steered clear of most of the summer boredom guff of the last few weeks. Will be great to get back on the pitch again.

[razor]

It's usual for this time of the year,there's a lot of speculation about.
Can I ask you all to keep the rumours for the Rumours thread

At least then those fed up can just avoid that thread.

Any news on keane cup draw?...hope we get to see tevez up at our place in it :-)

[overthehill]

[balls]

Brannigans win blarney 7's on penaltys

they were always gonna win it. had very strong team with kinger, hoey , buttsy etc.

[Chiefscout]

Hoey only played 2 games?..buttsy and Kinger over rated...

[casilles]

sorry Chiefscout but Hoey played 4 games!!!! FACT
Kinger got player of the tournament 4 goals in the final alone FACT
Buttsy overrated thats why the top 3 clubs in Msl all want him FACT

[Chiefscout]

Cillit bang.fact...are you suggesting that the blarney 7s is actually a meaningful tournament?.the player of the tournament trophy must be packed away in the bag for oz..never said buttsy wasn't good,just over rated.squad player at rockmount from what I saw last year

[greengrass]

Hoey only played 2 games?..buttsy and Kinger over rated...

buttsy and kinger are fine players and are far from over rated
u seem to like being controversial chiefscout

meaningful or not players play in it to win and thats precisely what these over rated? players did,
there is some(not all) strong teams in it so i dont think its to be sniffed at
they won a tournament spanning 28 teams and playing some quality football aswell,

[Chiefscout]

buttsy and kinger are fine players and are far from over rated

Not controversial,stating opinion and not just mine.not here to cater to the egos of the so called big clubs like others are and have been doing..fingers crossed a "footballing" team wins the league next year

[greengrass]

i dont cater to anyones ego man
my views are based on my perceptions of the local game
commonly shared views because it is plain to see but you seem to just go against anything thats said on here by anyone
a footballing team?isnt every team who plays a footballing team?
different styles fair enough but if its effective and winning trophies then why change?

[Chiefscout]

Wouldn't call all what is played in the premier proper football.alot of long ball and can name 1 of these long ball merchants that charge people to watch!!!..Good that you shared your views versus mine though greengrass.that's why we are here

[ringmahon4ever]

anyone want to start up a new forum because this place is gone to the dogs.its even hard enough writing this because i dunno whats gonna be said back.the sooner the season starts the better because then at least we can talk ball

[the hawk]

can we just ban chief scout for talking crap and i agree with you ringmahon if the dribble keeps coming up here just gonna delete the account
