Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.

At least I told truth bout my affiliation with the view...unlike yourself kid when I ask you about you and Avondale :-)

Ha ha theres no getting away from it is there he is a blatent liar in most peoples eyes on here. Im quiet fond of his posts. He did get somethings right anywaynice one southsider...threw a few in there to kick start what I saw as a stale forum but knew was more than a few correct..think it did the trick?

nice one southsider...threw a few in there to kick start what I saw as a stale forum but knew was more than a few correct..think it did the trick?By saying "threw in a few" , do you actually mean you posted blatant lies?

Cos you were as honest as the day is long 2 minutes previous.

Threw in a few rumours I heard,rest were stonewall....

[Chiefscout]

I think your quotes are usually fair and balanced and its great to get a refs view on things but I have to agree with redandwhite on the John Lenihan view, I first came across him 5 years ago and could not believe he was allowed to take charge of a football match let alone a senior game.And i believe hes performances have deteriorated since then.And that's from a neautal point of you personally I think he's a sound bloke but hes got to be one of the worst in the EU and that's taking in Greece as well.As for chiefscouts transfer rumours you would have a better insight if you went to see Mystic Meg.I looked into my crystal ball and saw that you know diddly squat about the eu or greece

[Chiefscout]

Looking to go do a bit scouting the weekend,who are playing who in challenge games this weekend?

[Clifford]

did midleton have any new signings?? how bout your'e selfs?

We've only Mick Devine so far and two young local lads who have returned from Ramblers and City respectively so they will get good game time. Not enough young lads getting a chance up to now.

Not sure if they had anyone as I didn't get to chat to John at the game.

We've Blarney Street at home Sun at three this weekend.

[Goggs]

Hope to see ye go up this year clifford ye play the game the right way and have been knocking on the door for a few seasons the dissapointment of missing out should make ye stronger but in saying that its probably the srongest the league has even been this season with ucc tramore carrigaline ringmahon and I see castleview as dark horses this year as Patsy been building a very good up and coming side the past few seasons its going to be a cracking league.

[Clifford]

Thanks Goggs, a small bit more quality and we'd be there or thereabouts again. We've a really honest squad and losing Seanie Mc to USA last season in March saw the wheels come off a bit when we were well placed.

Agreed on the quality of the league this time round. UCC will obv be very strong - is Caulfield staying on with them? I'm well on record with my admiration of what Patsy has done and they may well be up there after building for a few seasons. With some of our young lads we're looking at that model as well for a season or two. We've asked the club to form a development team this season (it's being called an under 23 team) and they will play hopefully in the junior league opposite our current juniors. It'll help with player development from 19 to 23 and we'd hope to see a few gems come through from this side. All well and good on paper, but we'll see how it goes.

As before we'll enjoy our few days out in the big bad City and have a warm welcome for all who find us in the sticks! :p

Looking forward to it now.

Any Keane Cup draw yet peeps?

[Clifford]

We ll give them nothing easy anyway and I'm sure the rest will not lie down either.

[footiefanatic]

Carrigaline beat Blarney 4-1 tonight in Ballea Park...Blarney a full strength team by all accounts!! Blarney looking shakey before start of season, Carrigaline apparently played excellent football! Some nice draws from keane cup. Avondale/Rockmount should be a cracker!!!

[code red]

Some good games in the Keane cup coming up.
Blarney were no where near full strength.They had 3 Juniors,1 youth and they were missing at least 8 from their starting team from last year.
Carrigaline fairly impressive. Could well come up again this year.

[go for gold]

rockmount goals to 1 winners against fermoy today.wondering if u were at it and if so how do mount look.heard gar cambridge,al o connor and ed buckley got 2,other goal scored by a 16 year old called james.

[go for gold]

supposed to be 5 1.post directed at clifford.

[Clifford]

Wasn't there yesterday due to work commitments, but yeah we lost 5-1. Couldn't tell ya who played well or scored for them, but we had no keeper so had to put a make shift lad in so that didn't help.

2-1 at half time after we took the lead. Happy enough with a lot of aspects of how we performed as we had a back four with two 17 yr olds and two 20 yr olds. Future is where we're at now.

Saw the game..premier champions v a first division team that was missing a good few players...pointless...neck sore today from watching it.I wonder why

are you saying rockmount are still playing the long ball under new management,did they also use 352 or a new formation

[Chiefscout]

Yes!!...granted,it works for them but it's a terrible advert for the local game and after hearing from people who were at the playoff v the hall last year that said it was brutal to watch..everybody can't be wrong

[Clifford]

It's called winning football lads. I'll wager that Billy ain't sitting at home crying into his soup cos some jonny on the ditch on a football forum ain't best pleased with having to watch it now and again. Naw I'm sure as one of the most decorated managers of all time really couldn't give a monkeys tbf.

And I hope that Alan goes on to have as proud a record, I wish him all the best (til we get there that is!!).

Ballincollig away tonight for us. Still working with 12 but Mick Devine along tonight so see how we go with a keeper this time.

mount played 3 4 3 and played excellent football.some of the goals scored were exceptional and there wasn't any goal scored as the result of a long hopeful ball.all mounts good play came down the right wing and some of the deliveries were top class.could of scored 10 or even more.that said fermoy under strength but mount only had 13 and 4 or 5 of those wont come close to starting the keane cup.

[casilles]

Hi lads. Any games on around tonight?

[Clifford]

Beat Ballincollig 8-3 last night. Some good football played. Roll on the keane cup.

was at game last night. fermoy looked very good. played nice football and scoring plenty of goals. 1st division going to be very interesting and in my view i believe fermoy are contenders again..

MSL Preview on todays Echo focusing on Douglas, Rockmount and Avondale with plenty of transfer news both in and out of the clubs.

Avondale have signed Danny Long, Tony Tynan, Keith O'Sullivan, Brain Murphy, Eoin Forde, Willie Heffernan and Alan Carey.
I dont know the two Casement lads (Tynan and O'Sullivan) but judging by the other 5 they have signed they are going to be very strong this year.

Douglas didnt comment much on signings but they have lost a few with Bruton being the biggest loss.

Rockmount have lost a few aswell with O'Riordan, King and Welsh and it seems that Ross O'Callagahan and Philip Cunningham are going to miss some of the season. They have signed Thomas Hughes, Paul Condon and Ian McConville.

Any more news on who other teams have signed, we are at the stage now that players have actually signed forms

tynan wasn't a casement player,he played with mayfield last season and avondale before that,his a good ball player

[Fantasista]

Hall also lost Murphy i think to Corinthians he is another big loss

[mayfield utd]

ya they lost him and two others to corinthians,if the rumours are to be believed

[the hawk]

the hall lost mark o callaghan and gary drennan squad players if you ask me .murphy started on fire and wa rewarded with a irish call up but then goals just dried . Thomas hughes was with rockmount last year anyway .Think he had commitments with the army and missed last part of the season

Seems all s not well up in mayfield ,seems howard coakley was asked to play right midfield ,threw a strop wouldn't even chase his man back and who ever they were playing scored from it and howard was whipped after 12 minutes

seen heffernan play .poor to be honest too light, looks very unfit

[Southsider]

Casement Seniors have folded the Junior AUL 2 side are the only team in the club this season very sad times...

Is this another fib from The Self Named Chiefscout !!! Not a bad game of ball by 2 under strenght teams just trying to get the season kicked off. 6 well; taken goals. A lot of young talent on show. As I have said before on this forum... Give credit where its due. Best of luck to all for forthcoming season.

Pre-season game: Crosshaven 1 College Corinthians 2 - Crosshaven 1 up for 70 minutes before Corinthians stepped up a gear as Crosshaven visibly tired.

[mayfield utd]

just heard garyduff pulled out of the keane cup,our lads were due to play garyduff this weekend.i don't know why they pulled out

Probably have no team - I heard that last season was gonna be there last & was surprised to see there names down for the League to be honest. They have been firefighting up there for the past three seasons.

[footiefanatic]

Heard Ballinhassig are after pulling out of Keane Cup??? can anyone shed some light on the situation if so true??? Wouldnt think the Hall would be too worried about who they lost, apparently beat Cork City in a friendly, quite impressively...Think Mark Murphy will be a big loss, other players won't make much of a difference, Bruton and drennan were only fringe players really!! Were you at the crosshaven/corinthians match ballsac??? Were crosshaven good, because going by last seasons teams, Corinthians would have crushed them!!

i was told monday that they were having a big meeting monday night about pulling out there senior team,i didn't hear the out come of that meeting.casement are gone ballinhassig and garyduff could be going,won't the 2nd division be a joke with only 6 or 7 teams in it,i think it should go back to 2 divisions and have 12 or 13 in each division,18 games isn't enough league games in my opinion

[ringmahon4ever]

heard ballinhassig gone all right.suppossably there was new manager brought in and promised by board that there was team and players there etc.first ew training sessions and all they were getting was 4 or 5. he walkked so now theres nothing happening there.

[ringmahon4ever]

mr money bags pratt must be broke so hence garyduff are gone :)
