Cork AUL 2023/24

[latte2012]

I wouldnt like to start on the knocknaheeney celtic manager some carry on from there center forward putting his head in to manager's head that player in question should never play for the club again absolutely disgraceful carry on but sure hes like that for years all threats hes gonna do this and that to a player and as usual all MOUTH tarnishing the clubs name with scumbag behaviour!!!!!

What happened exactly?

[Play it out]

That sounds shocking. No place for it. Bringing violence into it. No place for someone like that. Who is the player?

[The Goldfish]

What happened exactly?
I waa up on the hill and the player in question was throwing little kicks outvand abusing players aswell acting the hardman and Knocknaheeny celtic told him give the ball faster or give it off simple something to that effect with the words so player started shouting take me off so Knocknaheeny celtic manager took him off think it was bout 30mins in to game and it followed with player putting his head towards the manager everyone could see it he waa the culprit

[Harsh ref]

Grattan did get out of jail tonight from what I seen only got last hour of it but fair play to Rathcormac played well face it some go

[Cityboy66]

No manager should havta put up with dat they give up enough time to look after a team for da season

That’s shocking. Bad enough doing it to opposition but to your own manager is totally unacceptable. No place in the game for fellas like that.

[Jason Bourne]

Never a dull moment in the Aul.
Grattan can't be expected to win every game easy.
But they win.
Roll on Saturday .
No doubt we will have a multitude of different versions of what went on at both games.
Roll on the tall tales

[Harsh ref]

Daniels handled it well was all sorted after game hand bags heat of moment stuff I’m hearing knocka lads saying

[AULstarboy]

Castleview have one loss in the league and they’re bottling it???? Out of strand Donoghmore and Cathedral can any of you see them winning all their remaining games? Castleview did their job early, got the points on the board early on but they’re playing one week having 2 weeks off playing again two weeks off they couldn’t keep up the good form with that stop starting.

In relation to the knocka game there is no place in football for that type of behaviour football is frustrating at times but you never have a go at your own management in that manner.

[AULstarboy]

And just saw Strand and Cathedral drew so that’s them out of it, Donoghmore pulled off a shock win away to knocka but they need another 5 wins

[Broadway Joe]

5points separating bottom and 2nd in prem A. Be some finish to that season.
Big win for corkbeg away to glenthorn tonight..gives them a small bit of breathing space from city wanderers.

Glenthorn definitely gone after that result

As for other divisions watergrasshill and Shandon still stuck on 5games after tonight's match off..crazy!
Surely 1 of their pitches coulda played it they haven't played yet.

Both games off tonight are two teams that have home QF AOH games Saturday. Now Village are in no panic but surely Shandon should have been offered the home fixture.

[Harsh ref]

I said it last week and certain people had a pop off me I’ll state it again Shandon getting raw deal I think Aul might aswel just give Watergrasshill the league now in my opinion check table. Last night with cathedral drawing last night that put end to their league campaign now only team that’s holding up Castleview getting cup is Donoghmore what a crazy league

[One Trick Pony]

Ya harsh crazy league what I don’t agree with is Castleview having to wait and wait to play I know weather was an issue for awhile that’s understandable but leaving them with cathedral back to back at the end sure god knows when them games will be played cathedral have another 2 games before the view no doubt be 3 weeks before the view play again don’t understand why not get it over and done with

[Harsh ref]

I was talking to a lad last night and he made great point up to last night Catherdal could of won league and he said castleview will now win the league without playing Catherdal that’s crazy

[One Trick Pony]

It’s a mad league Castleview only one defeat from 12 9 wins 3 draws and it could have went to someone else , good to have teams fighting it out

[Mashedpotato23]

Cant see the view bottling the league. I’d imagine they’ll take 3 if not 6 points off Cathederal, the promotion fight is an interesting one. I’ll stick with my prediction in cathedral but Donoughmore and Strand could have huge chances too. Banteer and knocka to go down? What’s everyone’s new prediction for promotion and relegation in premier A?
Grattan very lucky also last nite

[Harsh ref]

Grattan might of got out of jail but rested few players to play fringe players they’ll be a lot stronger sat think you could be right Mash if knocka concentrate on cups they could go down with banteer looking at last night None of Cambridges player or docker Christy Driscoll Robbie Healy left on bench big changes from last sat game strange one

a lot of those grattan lads were away on a stag all weekend, I wouldn’t look too much into that

[Play it out]

Risky stuff resting players but it just about worked out for Grattan. Fair play to Rathcormac, having a very good season, building well, a team who could come up through the divisions.

[Harsh ref]

Risky or good management a lot of game for teams next two weeks so managing players is vital Grattan playing sat Tue again knocka played last sat Tue playing sat and Thursday same for most teams now tough few weeks for fellas

[One Trick Pony]

100% harsh , tough for fellas working and playing 2 games a week , will take it’s toll on some teams the teams with a squad not bare minimum will thrive

[Harsh ref]

Just wondering lads for the likes of greenwood Catherdal nothing to play for in league so after this weekend if they go out of AOH will they still get big squads travelling to play out season especially both teams save in league was going to throw knocka in the mix to but I think Henry Healy final my be a godsend to them cause without that if they went out of AOH I think they were in big trouble and to if my tip Grattan or to win AOH my god they’ll have to do it the hard way Watergrasshill and Ucc in their path

Catherderal are well in the mix in the league ref , that second spot is a toss up between 2/3 teams and catherderal are defo one of them

[One Trick Pony]

I’d think it would be between cathedral and donoghmore to see who goes up with the view, if gratten get over the hill at weekend which I fancy um I think coachford only team could could bother them don’t really rate ucc , too much players there squad changing every week no consistency in the team

[Harsh ref]

Agree with ye they have chance for 2nd but players today seem to throw towel in if your not getting a cup in my opinion just can’t see fellas taking time off work to play

[One Trick Pony]

Shandon with a 1-0 win in the cup , Waterloo called off , can’t see how pitches could be wrecked at this stage of a season

[Waterloo]

Shandon with a 1-0 win in the cup , Waterloo called off , can’t see how pitches could be wrecked at this stage of a season
You’re more than welcome to come out and walk the Waterloo pitch. Water table is still high it’s an old soil based pitch and can’t be cut. We offered our home advantage to Donoghmore but ladies football had pitch booked. Looked at an Astro but after paying €210 Saturday including ref we thought it was too much. Pitch isn’t wrecked we just haven’t had the weather conditions to get it in a playable condition.

[Harsh ref]

Grattan game switched to Mayfield tomorrow strange considering Hill were at home

[One Trick Pony]

Heard from a friend harsh the aul will be pushing for games at all costs in the aoh

[Harsh ref]

At the knocka game Tue night I heard a strange request Pony one of knocka subs were telling me that aul contacted their gaffer to ask him can they play 12 o clock sat instead of 2 o clock because Las zarcos lads wanted to go to Cork match sat evening that’s fair enough I was thinking if zarcos were at home but knocka at home.

So your telling me the AUL wanted to change the time for gaa match to suit othet team surley this is a p##s take some strings been pulled from certain members of cork aul committee

[Average Baller]

Should be some good games tomorrow lads, was going to head to Knocka game but think I’ll go to mayfield now after that venue change. I’ll have a stab of predicting the scores.

WGH 2-4 Grattan
Village 2-0 Greenwood
Knocka 3-2 Los Zarcos
Cathedral 0-4 Coachford

[Harsh ref]

True story fish the way this season is going Aul could come up with reason to call that game later to suit Zarcos haha

[fruice]

Sounds like a fairly straightforward request to change the kick off time to 2 hours earlier no big deal.

Knocka can refuse if they wish I don’t see the problem

[Cityboy66]

Don't see any issue with the above asking for 12 O' Clock game whether is be for a baseball/cricket match or what not, It's the county playing as well not like they have boys playing a GAA match. If Knocka said No because they the home team dat fair enough fellas be working etc. Saturdays. But fellas on this be getting carried away with requests being made. Shame it's not 2 QF sat and 2 Sun so that you could see 2 of them over the weekend Some really good ties.

[Harsh ref]

It’s not often I’d disagree wit ye but I do here if it was wedding fair enough but to change it for Gaa match not a chance put shoe on the other foot now imagine ringing the County board and asking um can you change the time of a hurling game sun cause I few lads want to go see a 3rd division aul game they’d tell ya where to go ha

[Average Baller]

Any team is well within their rights to request a change of kickoff time in order to accommodate their players whatever the reason may be. If the opposition reject it then fair enough, this probably happens every single weekend but we only hear about it when the mighty Knocka are involved.

[Jason Bourne]

What a carry on .

Ya , give the opposition a hand there lads. Bigger fools to even entertain it.

Cork are playing , it's our County .
Are ye all right in the head.

Ref bang on boi. The county board would laugh us out the door .

What next , the ploughing championship

[latte2012]

Nothing at all wrong with asking for an earlier kick off. All they did was ask the question. The home team can either say yes or no and we move on. Knocka will probably be asking can they join the league again the season after next after folding this season never mind asking for an earlier kick off ffs.

[latte2012]

The guy your responding to must have been living in Spain the past 6 months if he can’t understand why pitches still aren’t in great condition

[Jason Bourne]

Mayfield Astro is a strange call from the Hill.

I watched the game last season up in Mayfield in the same cup an they won 1 nil.

Grattan should of hammered um , watergrasshill had 1 shot an won.

They played this season earlier an Grattan won on spotters but should of battered um.

Stranger again Watergrasshill have an intermediate Gaa game away to Dungourney at 7.

Hope they know what there doin

[The Goldfish]

I heard through the grapevine that the aul wrong watergrasshill and told them the game is switched to mayfield and ye have no say in the matter and thats that i say aul knew that watergrasshill were up to something because they pulled the game against shandon crltic during the week and had a feeling they do the same Saturday with the hurlers playing Saturday evening

[Play it out]

If so that's another example of random decisions. No help to Shandon recently.

[Jason Bourne]

Maybe the Hill should of asked Grattan to switch time an venue because there was a Cork County Darts championship game on that the Hill lads wanted to attend and support , or a county fly fishing contest. Ya know urself , tis all about being accomidating in the letter stage of the Aoh

[Harsh ref]

Might knocka baller haha don’t know what their gaffer up to brilliant cup team so far **** poor league team don’t know what their plan is cause looks to me their going down playing weak team in league last few weeks and strong in cups interesting to see what team Daniels plays tomorrow but for me league should be his priority to stay up but just my opinion

[Average Baller]

Some day for a game of ball lads. A fine day to be skulling pints in Killarney following the Cork footballers too :cool:

[Play it out]

Grattan Utd 2 - 1 Rathcormac

Jimbo
Aaron ,Shinky, Burnsy Fleming
Gary, Harris, Kenty ,Spitser
Lee, Bullman

Subs used Scoops,Paudie, Hawkins, Harry, JP

Out of curiosity, to those who went to this game that said the strong lads were rested and great game management, who in that XI would you drop for a big game or cup final?

[Ballwasthere]

That looks their strongest team outside of scoops tbh, he’s a fantastic player
