Hopefully works out, hopefully games be back in 3/4 weeks.

[goal-achio]

Ya we had 28 eager beavers tonight after their week off for freshers. We will keep going, sure what else will we do

I thought training was banned also unless its not contact? I don't think we will see another AUL game until March of next year. Can't see this virus slowing down anytime soon

Training allowed in pods of no more than 15 with no game allowed at the end.

[Beansontoast]

Spot on 12th man, 14 players and 1 coach at adult level. Large squads are to split into 2 pods

[JaketheSnake]

Training allowed in pods of no more than 15 with no game allowed at the end.

So it is just non contact training? I think players will get sick of that soon enough

Afraid so,no contact stuff allowed.

[Play it out]

Going to be a rough few months for lads.

All the hard running out the window. Jogs, 5KM and 10KM runs may happen but can't replace the match fitness, pre season training and overall craic.

[Str8fromthebeek]

It could be a lot longer break than the 3 weeks the way things are going .

[fruice]

From what I’m hearing Cork is going to take an awful turn for the worst over the next week.
So we will be doing well to be back before Christmas

[goal-achio]

Lads my two pence worth
The government cant close the country for christmas
The government cant have the country turn on them
And most importantly the government cant continue to pay over half the country to stay at home.
We will be back in December
We just have to try our best to keep fellas interested and I think the game of ball might be what fellas need to get through the winter weeks. We will be fine

[Play it out]

Quite a difficult time ahead.

What are people doing with bibs in training and after?

If your waiting on guidence and confidence going forward on the aul I'm afraid you will be waiting ...covid is only top of the agenda when it suits the aul and Ted.

[goal-achio]

Agh sure he is back from the abyss.. steve behave now or you will find yourself out by the wall again😂😂😂😂😂you gotta just wash the bibs after training. I heard the management roundabout is in full swing again. Did anyone else hear anything

[Beansontoast]

Oh Man, 1st post back and he's having a go at someone again. :shut:. Anyhow, what do ye think of Kennys start lads? imo he has at least got rid of the big hoof up the field and is trying to play. Both performances were promising but you'd still worry where the goals will come from.

I agree with you on Kenny great football being played to be fair but it's a results game I hope they stick with him and it dispelled all the experts saying the players wernt there ..they are but need a goal scorer .on the aul they haven't covered themselves in glory over the years some of us do have an opinion.

Well worth the ban .

It was great to see them holding on to the ball and trying to play a bit. I think there actually is goals in the team with the likes of Connolly and Robinson. Will take a few more games for it all to come together. I’d be optimistic for the future.

December is ambitious but I hope you’re right! Hard to see it the way things are at the moment. I hope that lad in China that ate the bat is happy with himself 😂

[Str8fromthebeek]

Lads we will be lucky to see any football for rest of year if numbers don't drop.They are worse now than last lock down.as reguards criticism of aul and governing leagues I think its a bit harsh to be honest..all these people do this on a voluntary basis and they do their best.

The only people making money in aul footbal are the aul and refs.. AHH they love the game sure.just an opinion lets just call it expenses.

[Dr. football]

It’s a shame that no match’s been payed the weather Is brilliant for this time of the year not much rain! Would of got loads played!

[Beansontoast]

Weather will be grand until 1st weekend back. Murphy's law! ����

No football this side of Xmas I say .

For once i agree with you! think they should scrap FAI and Munster junior cup now.

most clubs have around 15 league games left, 1 or 2 of the aul cups will surely be scrapped too? Maybe just play AOH?

The one they all want to win and win most is the aoh...that's the big one personally the league is the one to me .

[fruice]

They will
Play divisional cups also

all teams outside of the premier will want to play their league cups and rightly so.

[goal-achio]

Well I want the local cups to go ahead anyway lads. Any team that isn’t in the running for their league is only going to keep fellas interested by cup runs otherwise come February they will field 9 or 10 players cos fellas will be gone back gaa when they have nothing to play for

[Dr. football]

With the new restrictions been put in place and a time line in place be nice if the AUL gave a update on the plans based off the information to hand at the moment. I know it can change but it looks like level 5 for 4/6 weeks and back to level 3/2 for December/ January.

It will go to level 5 again by end of January...open back up march.

Give them a chance! The FAI haven't given any guidance yet. Way too soon to make a judgement call.

The announcement was only made last night. There’s no rush with any guidance for a few weeks anyway, there is absolutely nothing happening for at least 6 weeks!

FAI is a joke that it’s not till Wednesday evening.

I know that I’m not calling for announcement now but it be nice to fellas to work towards and stay motivated if they had any idea what was come ahead.

[fruice]

Seriously lads there is nothing they can do so what if it takes a n extra day or 2 we are in level 5 for 6 weeks.

There was a mention today if things stabilise we will go to level 3 in early to December so as things stand no games only training then.

Will be 2021 before we see a game as things stand

Gaa and cork count board came out and said (the day of the announcement) that all remaining games will not be played until February.

But as you said non contact training in December will basically be a pre-season again just without all the games!

Lads not many can see games in Feb ..I say go for complete of all divisional cups and see after there complete and if so start new season in a summer league.

[Play it out]

Can't see the motivation for lads to be running a pre season in December for 2-3 weeks. Fair play to those who do. If it was possible to have a set date on return then yes but without it, it's tough.

[fruice]

If we get going early in 2021 and you scrap the National Cups you won’t be too far behind once you get to the long nights you will fly threw games.

Steve’s idea of going threw the divisional cups is good in so far as you would see completions finished and silverware won.

The only thing is some teams are already out of these competitions so I would imagine the aul wouldn’t be in favour of going back and not having sone clubs being able to play games

But teams not in the hunt for league title would struggle to field teams ..so the integrity of the league would be a question.

[Dr. football]

Could play champions league style cup games with groups and later rounds been knockout.

I agree with the December and lack of motivation for hard running.


I know fellas say the standard is lower then before but you’d miss it all the same 🤣

[fruice]

But teams not in the hunt for league title would struggle to field teams ..so the integrity of the league would be a question.

I suppose ultimately you are correct ,but surely at this stage every club still has something to play for be it promotion or relegation.

And to be fair most years towards the end of the season the teams that aren’t going well struggle to field teams

I just don’t think the AUL can go back to their clubs and say sorry your season is over because you got knocked out in the first round of your cup they would be opening an awful can of worms not to mind all the transfers that would follow.

[goal-achio]

The season will finish, fellas give out about the aul committee there is no way they wont get them leagues played even if every team has to play three times a week in april. There were often teams going into February with less league games played as they have now. Have some faith lads Ted didnt get a big job for his looks alone, the man knows how to get things done

[latte2012]

Let’s all just hope that we are fortunate enough to get back playing early next year, I’m sure all cups and leagues can be completed if we do. If the weather stayed ok from January-March we would fly through the games. That’s a big if I suppose!

[Beansontoast]

Lads, All those clubs outside prem/prem A losing divisional cups in first round go into the draw for the Corinthians cup, so still a trophy to chase.

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said may go into Level II at the start of December which includes matches and spectators.

Should there be a fixture list immediately for the first weekend?

It may also coincide with peoples first weekend of socializing! Thoughts?
