Cork AUL 2023/24

[Play it out]

Well there we are, Grattan out.

[Harsh ref]

Hill won 3 1 great performance from knocka 5 nil some great football played

[Jason Bourne]

Watergrasshill won 3 nil with 3 shots on goal , never quite seen a team like them.

They play no ball , they just lump it an run an it works for them fair dues.

As bad as Grattan were, ref was worse .

Hope Watergrasshill push on now.

[Who?]

What's yer predictions for final of aoh lads

[KevinJBarry]

Have to agree with you . Grattan were awful but Duffy is horrendous . For me the worst ref in the aul in all my time involved. Seems to enjoy pi$$ing players off

[Cityboy66]

I personally think he’s the worst official in the league. Refs are hard to come by don’t get me wrong but there comes a point where you can’t make excuses for a fella. Wasn’t at the game with work but iv seen enough of him over the past few seasons.

[Harsh ref]

Few weeks back Aul official was going to a game he told me cause Duffy would upset players for decisions he make so they ever know it he should be just giving 3rd division games at best Mark o Connell done knocka game today best in league

[Broadway Joe]

All the same the mighty gratts have scraped by aul 3 rathcormac this week and been knocked out by watergrasshill today.
The fact watergrasshill have a hurling match tonight makes it all the stranger!

Some result for knocka..they have hammered 2 teams in the cup in past week and lost in league during the week...football is a funny ol game!

[Broadway Joe]

What's yer predictions for final of aoh lads


Don't rule out a repeat of last year's final...coachford watergrasshill

[Average Baller]

Knocka were good today alright but that was a weak Los Zarcos team today. As said above Mark O’Connell is head and shoulders above every other ref in the league, class act.

[Play it out]

Will Village make them suffer more? The mighty Gratts have take a heavy fall this week.

[Jason Bourne]

Said a few posts back that it would be too big an ask to win the treble.

Grattan missing Harris, Bullman and Hawkins an looked a bit leggy today.
Played all the ball but just had an off day. It happens . The Hill took ull advantage.

Grattans 1st loss in 90 mins in any competition this season was today so I'm not overly worried. That's some going in fairness.

Village in the league . Home League.

Wanderers Away. League.

Village away in he Mossie.

Be an interesting 2 weeks.

Who was surprised with Derek subs today whipped 3 up top after 10 mins in second half was there issues again like Tuesday or was it tactical strange pulling Cuffy Driscoll and Leonard at the same time I thought

Nobody cares tbh

[Harsh ref]

Waterloo you speaking for everyone or saying no one cares about his behaviour

[Waterloo]

Waterloo you speaking for everyone or saying no one cares about his behaviour

I for one don’t need to be updated weekly on his behaviour. He is a good junior player who I believe is suspended now. Nothing more to say about it .

[Harsh ref]

Your here wet week calm down Karen

[Jason Bourne]

Harsh "lessons" ref , he's here longer than you.

An I agree with him 100%
Who cares one bit about that kind of news.

This forum is for football .

[Waterloo]

Waterloo you speaking for everyone or saying no one cares about his behaviour


Your here wet week calm down Karen
In the AUL since 1999 pet . Numerous leagues and cups won lots more lost , 100 plus league goals scored but ya wet week ?

[Harsh ref]

Jason I made it clear I’m here to give ye the right information and I’ll keep ye in the loop about what goes on in this football season as for agreeing with water practice what you preach u slated Duffy earlier wink wink keep it to football

[Harsh ref]

Back to facts now again brilliant from village today worry’s at start of season they were done some job by management and great result from wanderers again Glenthorn goosed

[Jason Bourne]

I didn't name anyone, I mearley stated the referees performance based on my limited time at the game was imept.

[Jason Bourne]

On the Village win , Dunlea should get manager of the year now,,,,,,a win,,,,,a childrens play area an a whippy van ,,,,class all day

[Harsh ref]

Did you not take in knocka game Jason and some job by Lenny

[Jason Bourne]

Wanted to see the Village game an then the Watergrasshill v Grattan game as its next to Villages place .

Knocknaheeny game would be of been no interest to me . One season wonders an self prolamed pretentestiousness compared to clubs who are hard working and there for the long hall.

In fairness the merries are down Monaghan road if I want to see things that are here today and gone tomorrow.

[Harsh ref]

Why I think you lying Jason ??

[Jason Bourne]

Guess you will just have to take my word for it,,,,,knowone cares either way.

[Harsh ref]

Just proving I’m right again think I’ll change me name to Mr right seriously tho can we see any Premier team doing double this year

[Jason Bourne]

Oíche mhaith

[Call it a day]

But sure knocka had injuries and had not got the full team till today and the played some football .. even the referee siad it was best football he see team play all season what a time to start playing and be at full strength as off today going to be interesting few week is right...teams are going feel it now dho 2 3 games a week managers have be careful who there playing ..fear play to Derek aswell

You my friend have serious grammar issues!!! numpty

[Play it out]

Bourne, you should leave off slating the refs and do something in football instead. Go join Grattan full time instead of watching in.

[AULstarboy]

I missed first 10mins of the Grattan game got the rest, Duffy is by far one of the worst i came accross but he didnt do Grattan at all far from it. Every foul that was given against them they were shouting and roaring from the line and their players. Grattan are a great side but that pitch doesnt suit them maybe good tactics by Watergrasshill but they're not all that either Coachford will spank them. One thing i like about Watergrasshill is their discipline they get on with every call they were robbed of a few dodgey offside decisions in the first half but got on with it and maybe it's the GAA they get that from. but i think UCC and Coachford if they avoid eachother would make a great final.

[Harsh ref]

Agree with you Star that would be great final

[Jason Bourne]

The G'AUL will make sure there's no clash ,)

[One Trick Pony]

That Duffy is 2nd worst in my opinion to Paul but both brutal , heard when he reffed cathedral and greenwood the ball hit the side netting so it went out and bounced off fence and it came back greenwood player picked up ball threw it to keeper for goal kick Duffy blew for penalty and was giving it until Robbie cun from cathedral said it wasn’t

[Cityboy66]

Well well a few interesting results over the weekend.. Rathcormac trounced 5-1 today in Presidents cup semi after nearly pulling off shock of the season during the week mental, great to see games getting momentum and played now more funny results coming our way over the next few weeks one would imagine. Village having a fine year

[Ballwasthere]

While we’re on the subject, I think a few refs in the AUL have grudges against certain teams for whatever reason wether it be abuse or whatever, maybe some deservedly so, with Duffy I don’t see him as being biased, he seems to make terrible calls both ways, I just don’t know what game he sees sometimes, they way he speaks to players when they complain doesn’t help his reputation, think o Sullivan is a good reff but can seriously hold grudges when given lip, particularly to a few north side teams, hennessey last year I felt was a disgrace, not a personal knock on the man but he genuinely didn’t look like he was fit enough to keep up with the game, would blow for offside in games where a fella could be 5 yards inside because he didn’t want to run, Think Tony Thompson is a credit, regardless off his decisions the way he manèges players and handles backchat is to be commended, probably comes with experience, Alan Belmajoub( dodgy spelling) last year was exceptional when I seen him, be surprised if he doesn’t end up MSL premier, Alan mcdonagh is fine, Richard Gorman is fine, I think the referees manners on the pitch can make or break a game especially in competitive close games, which I think Duffy and Paul lack, truth be told we’re lucky to have any of them because it’s not a gig I personally could handle with some of the bull you have to listen to from lines, I’d be sent off myself if I was a reff

[Ballwasthere]

Village seem to be cup specialists, have deep runs in cups every year regardless of league form, the year they win the AOh I believe they were due to be relegated only for teams folding, from what I’ve been told Dunlea trains them like animals, it shows when they play, those lads would run for days

[GerCork]

Credit to village but i do think the AOH draw was very kind to them. Banteer, Grangevale & Greenwood are all games they should be winning and did so fair play. The rest of the prem big hitters are the other side of the draw. I still think they should be higher up in the league after some close losses this season

[Harsh ref]

Totally agree with you Ger spot on know disrespect to Village or knocka but they got away lightly with draw I know you can only beat what’s in front of you but to avoid Ucc Grattan watergrasshill and coachford on the way to semi is a major plus for both clubs still think both clubs in the mix for relegation aswel. Looking at tables think that should be their bread and butter but fair play semi anything can happen

[Ballwasthere]

I’d say village are safe enough, Glenthorn are 100% gone and either city or Corkbeg will be the other, I’d fancy Corkbeg to stay up if I’m being honest, I don’t know the games played off the top of my head so I might be wrong on that if city and Corkbeg have games in hand

[Harsh ref]

They probably will survive Ball hope they do like a lot of them lads honest players up in village but mad at times but you need that aswel haha I think fixtures have gone strange this year View win league without playing cathedral who could of won league up to last week Grattan still have to play village twice and play Glenthorn twice who or relegated few back to back fixtures that went ahead this season that were strange View last two games or against Cathedral aswel
