Cork AUL 2023/24

[Average Baller]

It’s common knowledge that the majority of AUL clubs that have an end of season victory function will invite an AUL board member. Using it to push your anti Coachford agenda isn’t going to work this time. And that’s coming from someone who’d love to see them knocked off their perch this season.

[Harsh ref]

100% most clubs will invite um let’s be honest

[KevinJBarry]

100% most clubs will invite um let’s be honest

Doesn't mean you have to show up

[fruice]

Doesn't mean you have to show up
So you’re saying they shouldn’t go?

[KevinJBarry]

So you’re saying they shouldn’t go?

Correct

[fruice]

Correct
Why shouldn’t they attend? It’s common practice.

[KevinJBarry]

Why shouldn’t they attend? It’s common practice.

Just because something is common practice doesn't make it right . They are opening themselves up to accusations of bias which as we know are there already , I am surprised Salt-n-Pepa wasnt at the Aghabullogue awards night as well seeing as he equally contributed to their success

How’s is it bias if they are shown to attending other clubs victory events?

I dont think they should be going to any teams victory events

[fruice]

I dont think they should be going to any teams victory events
That’s not the question I asked though?

[KevinJBarry]

That’s not the question I asked though?
Ok coachford get special favours from the aul and then committee members show up for a victory event for free pints . Add 2+2 and work the rest our for yourself

Upset tonight in the aoh cup, the mighty ucc beaten by a city wanderers team on the brink of folding 2-0

Upset tonight in the aoh cup, the mighty ucc beaten by a city wanderers team on the brink of folding 2-0

The Beauty of the AOH Cup. City wanders in Q final now or am I mistaken?

[Play it out]

Good game tonight. Impressed by how Wanderers lifted it after recent poor results. Fair play to them.

[Harsh ref]

Great result for a team who apparently be lucky to see out the season I said it few weeks back Grattan for the treble massive chance now league in own hands and with Ucc and View out of AOH they’ll be tough to stop I also watched that game last night Ucc very frustrating never know what you get with um this my third time this season seeing um and it doesn’t seem like they have settle team few new faces all the time.

[Play it out]

UCC are a very good side. They're quite settled from what I've seen and have some of the best players in the league.

I've my own views on them that are negative but I have to say they are a very good side.

Well done again to City Wanderers.

[Harsh ref]

Agree play it out that’s why I use the word frustrating they were excellent against Castleview well over um and that result last night was shocking if where being honest did think them or Grattan would have name on cup but football can be strange at time if there any team that could pull off a shock in AOH.

[The Goldfish]

I watched the game last night and been honest it was a comfortable win for city wanders ucc like to blow smoke up there own a## but what ive seen of them this season ive been disappointed with all the hype from them Village are dark horses aswell there foing under the radar quietly they can certainly win both cups there well capable.

[Ballwasthere]

Any rain between now and Saturday I feel will result in another round of games being called

[Harsh ref]

Id say games be played this week Ball but pitches be cut up bad after 15/20 minutes

[The Goldfish]

Any rain between now and Saturday I feel will result in another round of games being called
There definitely be games played this week a few showers here an there but shud be alot of games this weekend im gonna drive up to watch Knocknaheeny celtic v Castleview this Saturday if im been honest it should be a stroll in the park for Castleview i cant even recall when i seen a result for a Knocknaheeny celtic game so surley Castleview will have to much legs and ball against them im going for a comfortable win fir Castleview and put 1 hand on the league trophy, 4-0 Castleview

[Harsh ref]

Think I agree with you fish think View will win played at least 5/6 games since knocka kicked a ball but don’t think they’ll hammer um knocka tough to beat in kilmore rd be great game knocka gaffer one side his good buddy the dog man on the other side be good banter between um all the making of good game I think.

Castleview all day long is that the fella Megga the Egga that does the dogs i often seen him pulling drags he was quality when he was younger but lacked pace as he got older i actually thought he was retired because i seen him at a fre drag races quality on his day he was does he still do running commentary when he has the ball haha

[Harsh ref]

Bad few days lads will we see any ball this weekend

[AULstarboy]

Oh Ucc were excellent against Castleview, well above them? i watched that game and Castleview were missing a couple of players, which happens but they had an off day just like Ucc must of had an off day against struggling Wanderers. That's the thing with the cups its 90mins. As someone said above it's about winning leagues and that's what teams will be judged on.

[Cityboy66]

Few interesting games this weekend. Pending weather obviously but in Premier A the View and Knocka (more of a bragging rights fixture think View be very hard to catch now) , Div 1 Richmond Hill, Richmond need a win here to stay in with a shout of Div one top 2. Loc zarcos and Bweeng top of table clash in Div 2 and Div 3 kilbrittain and coachford b kilbrittain have games in hand to put pressure on Boher and coachford still in mix there for top 2 potentially... AOH i think Shandon and Grangevale has the makings of a good game.. Finally Rathcormac and Gratts interested to see the scoreline here. Grangevale played Rathcormac last week anybody know how it went in friendly

[fruice]

Saturday will be in right trouble might get 1 or 2 Sunday.

The rain is relentless pitches will need 4 to 5 days of drying to have any chance.

[Harsh ref]

Star all these teams giving excuses missing players had off day all excuses few good games City if they go ahead

[The Goldfish]

Ahh come on Aulstarboy missing players and ye have a squad of about 20 and the luxury of senior player's dropping down for a few games excuses is what it is ye were beating by the better team on the day its as simple as that. Games will definitely go ahead tomorrow piyltch will probably cut up but thats the joys of it looking forward to the Northside derby tomorrow should be a great game for the neutral

[Harsh ref]

You say it as you see it fish don’t ya must say looking forward to that game Meself still think View will pip it on fitness but could be cracker

[The Goldfish]

All jokes aside it should be a cracker of a game alot of tough physical challenges but fair and with ex knocka players like the bull and megga a game not to be missed

[Ballwasthere]

Don’t want to sound all doom and gloom lads but with that weather it’s unlikely there’ll be games tomorrow

[AULstarboy]

Who’s ye?? I stated before I’m not aligned to any team and support all northside teams. I want them all to do well but I’ll call out Harsh for saying Ucc were well over castleview but made an excuse for Ucc against Wanderers. Massive game tomorrow for both knocka and castleview I don’t think it’ll be as one sided as you think but will it go ahead that pitch is as bad as Rylanes

FYI rylane have a quality pitch these days

[Harsh ref]

Bang on latte aul you bit behind man I spoke truth View were thumped by Ucc I watched it and I didn’t make excuse for Ucc matter of fact few weeks back I said their backline would cost them and again I’m right man.

[Play it out]

Been told UCC are appealing result. On what grounds? I don't know, let's wait and see, they could be back in.

[Broadway Joe]

Been told UCC are appealing result. On what grounds? I don't know, let's wait and see, they could be back in.

I actually heard the same. They are appealing on grounds that city wanderers had a number of illegal players

[Harsh ref]

Maybe I’m wrong here but wasn’t Barry at the game so surely they can’t get away with that but on the other hand know two teams who tried to appeal this year with Aul and got know where like applying for a mortgage one manager told me Aul made it so hard

[Harsh ref]

Found it hard to field team one week flogged last week and I seen at least 17 players on bench the other night strange one haha

[The Goldfish]

Even barry was at the match he couldn't report illegal players and if the aul committee know that an illegal player has played they cant ring the other club to inform them its up to the club itself to do the investigation on it which is ridiculous carry on the same happened at start of season cathedral celtic played illegal player twice once against knocknaheeney celtic and the other against greenwood in cup competition and knocknaheeney celtic didnt get the 3 points awarded to them but cathedral celtic were dockrd the points instead and cathedral got thrown out of the cup and Greenwood didn't get reinstated back in to cup and the aul knew that both players were illegal at that time but stated it was up to other clubs to do there own investigation on the matter

[Harsh ref]

Ya I couldn’t believe that when I heard Aul can’t do a thing even if they know crazy especially their suppose to be clubs organisation but can’t back you up ha spoke to aul member few times this season that has told me it’s up to clubs not them even if they know

[fruice]

FYI rylane have a quality pitch these days

Surface decent but It’s tiny I would question does it meet the requirements

[KevinJBarry]

Surface decent but It’s tiny I would question does it meet the requirements

Its on the small side but it is within regulations

It’s not that can’t do anything you have to be able to prove they are illegal and that’s done on the day.


With out a photo or a signature the AUL can’t do anything after the fact

[Play it out]

A photo yes but signature wouldn't be needed anymore. Quicker they get FAI App up and running with the players photos the better to get rid of this.

[fruice]

Still require a signature not all teams have profile photos uploaded

[Harsh ref]

Fruice Aul will do nothing what so ever to help you with appeal I stood alongside member of Aul the night Catherdal played illegal player and Aul were well aware new before ball was kicked play in question wasnt signed and they still didn’t award points to knocknaheeny so they won’t help any team even if they know fact

[The Goldfish]

I was down in hannah bawns well ago talking to 2-3 Castleview players the impression i was getting off them that they would prefer ther game against knocknaheeney be called off which is crazy because knocknaheeney hasn't played in awhile are they scared?? Ill take back my prediction but still fancy Castleview with a narrow 1 nill win

[Broadway Joe]

Glenthorn, cathedral, Los zarcos and blackstone games already off tomorrow.
Hopefully some of the others go ahead

[Cityboy66]

Was told City Wanders Fielded illegal players in their 1st Rnd game too, but again these things are always thrown about whether it’s true or not I can’t say. I would imagine Tuesday night they’d have a lot more bodies available as the college students signed would be down and be around for game of ball..Friday nights a lot of them go home I imagine and have their own games at the weekend in respective counties if they are outside of Cork. Can see a lot of valid points being made about it in above comments.. As for Rylane that’s a fine pitch now community made a big effort to get it done as far as I know..
