Cork AUL 2023/24

[Average Baller]

Knocka v Village & WGH/UCC v Coachford in the AOH semis

[Harsh ref]

Think the Aul will come up with some rule Joe cause knocka lads told me few weeks back Richmond game called grass to high and strand game called no lines on strands pitch and Aul done nothing about but fixtures were just played again and what a draw for Village and knocka no one would of predicted seeing any of them teams in final few weeks back going on league form

[Jason Bourne]

Knocka v Village be interesting.

Neutral venue.

Watergrasshill/ UCC v Coachford.

Oh what will the AUL do,,,,,,,there 2 favourite play things possibly facing up.

Hope there's no championship that weekend.

[Cityboy66]

Imagine the SF will be played a Sat and Sun in the farm like previous years but I may be wrong, UCC/Hill might be a good game two young teams hard to predict.

[Harsh ref]

Mardyke for the Sunday game hand one UCC could be at home in semi of AoH

[AverageJoesGym]

This idea of resting players is actually laughable, players full fit should be playing either way, there's not many games been played consecutively all season. This is the business end of the season were teams show grit and class to get over the line. Grattan and village should be a good game tomorrow, hard to call. Are the Gratts running out of steam?City Wanderers seem to be picking up points at the right time can they survive. Back to same old story the AUL should be promoting and broadcasting finals, the CBL doing a fine job of having cup finals streamed live but we won't get into that debate of AUL/CBL again. Heard from a player Jim Hennessey was reffing cup final over the weekend and called a offside himself while his assistant never raised his flag. I had to go review the footage myself for a giggle, thank god that man has left our league. Schoolboys ref at best.

Good ol Jim hennessy blowing out his a** after about 10mins and 20yards behind the play blowing offsides:)

[goal-achio]

Had Jim a few weeks ago down in Corkbeg I was very happy with his performance compared to other refs through the season

[Cityboy66]

City Wanders finished their games last night.. Level on Pts ahead on goal difference to Corkbeg who have Grattan last game Tuesday night need a draw to stay up or else they will be in the promotion/relegation play off game.

[Harsh ref]

Watch Duffy do a game Tue night hands down worse ref to grace Aul In a long long time should be banished from aul in my opinion it’s only a matter of time before a player gets a big ban over him cause he thinks he can speak to players how ever he feels cause he’s a referee he’s a accident waiting to happen

He done our game against watergrasshill in the aoh but wot a disgrace of a referee handing out cards left right in center and it wasn't a dirty game at all they say respect the referee but that goes both ways but unfortunately a few refs have an agenda against certain clubs and they love the power trip

[Play it out]

Talk around that The Galacticos of MTU may be finished their games but they have been at their old tricks. Corkbeg will have more points than the Galacticos. Fair play to Corkbeg, very difficult first half of season and then got points together well. As for Galacticos, what the hell are they doing?

[Cityboy66]

The FAI Connect app is critical for next season. Has pictures of players with their name. I've been to few games this season where players calling the keeper 'keeper' all game blatantly obvious what was going on, as for City wanders at old tricks again what game? The amount of teams at it would suprise fellas. It's just they got caught so
they are in the spotlight.

[Play it out]

They have to use it, it should have been trialled. There will be major issues ahead.

I sont think city teams would play illegal players because everyone knows everyone northside and southside but the likes of college teams and county teams would definitely getvaway with it and probaly has at some stage throughout the season

[Harsh ref]

Watched a game over two weeks back where a away team had two illegal players home team won game handy Aul represented at the game home team new that had points in bag what ever the result and the Aul member said after game at least we won’t have to deal with objection my opinion team should of still be dealt with

[Average Baller]

Looks like another weekend washout with the rain that’s falling today..

[fruice]

Cant see a wash out rain to stop later in the afternoon relatively good for the rest of the weekend.

Might lose some this evening but Saturday and Sunday should be good.

Might struggle to cut the Fairfield though!!!

[Harsh ref]

Fruice you living down a hole man sat and sun heavy rain their saying haha

The away fixture will surely be offered, there’s no way it’ll be cut now with rain that fell today alone. Surely it would suit Cathedral to play Sat over a weeknight with their recent problems of fulfilling a fixture..

[MagicViewer]

Anyone heading up to watch the village vs grattan game if it stays dry? Presume knocka will be up to watch them given the AOH draw! Will go up for a watch from corner flag if it stays dry

He’s shocking. Slows the game down way too much too cos he can’t keep up. Played a game he was reffing one day and honestly took him 5 minutes let a substitution happen. He’s everything a ref shouldn’t be.

[Harsh ref]

Grattan won 1 nil not a game with many chances

[Rossum]

[QUOTE=Rossum;2186249]Solid win job done for grattan, defended solidly couldn’t ask for more QUOTE]

[TurnTheFullback]

Great games to look forward to now , looks like we have a league decider and a cup final between 2 of the best teams in the league.

[Ballwasthere]

Grattan-Village was a bit of a slog, think Grattan keeper made one save all game and Village keeper didn’t have to make any, the length of the grass ruined the game I feel, lads kept getting slowed down in it

[Harsh ref]

Village didn’t create much for all the ball they had thought Grattan were out on feet last 25 village ran straight through um so easily second half don’t know what Grattan plan is when they had ball in second half just kept kicking in long and chasing it down.

[Play it out]

What were the teams?

[MagicViewer]

At the village vs grattan game by the corner flag, bit of a stale game both keepers werent tested, but from the eye village seemed the better team, kept the pressure on grattan and kept working and running hard, grattan had one chance and were clincal and took it, but have to say as a neautral grattan were very lucky could of easily had 2 red cards and village will feel very hard done by especially in the second half when breaking 4v2 and grattan took the player down and was only shown a yellow instead of a red, grattan winger was lucky aswell before he was taken off but credit to both teams for the commitment and heart shown, but grattan seem to be running out of legs at this stage of the season and village if they dont get a result in the AOH look like a dissapointment after getting off to a good start to the season, interesting season ahead and remaining games will be interesting given i find grattan running out of legs and going long ball all the time eventhough they have the forwards to hold up play and bring players into the game and village with players who will run all day for you and never give up so interesting few weeks ahead

[MagicViewer]

I may be wrong but ill give my honest opion from watching as dont know all the players,
Grattan
Martin
Fleming, burnsy, muzzy, curtin
Gary, scoops, harris, spitser
Lee, bullman

Village
Butler
Bird, thomspon, gerta, matthew
Steve o donnel, keniry (captain) kearney and hickey, adam,
Longy

[Harsh ref]

Grattan had same usual suspect as every week only difference was Jp came off the bench Village for me could be a handful next year if they can add one or two some good young players there the left back was excellent

[Ballwasthere]

Agreed thought villages left side was decent two young, fit, feisty lads

[Harsh ref]

Best left full I seen in Aul in long time up and down the line all night personally for me they’ll have way to much for knocka in semi

[Mashedpotato23]

Am i rite so in saying if corkbeg don’t pick up a result against Gratts they play second in premier A?
Mossie final same as last year! Gratts and coachford showing that they are defo two best in aul

[Harsh ref]

Mash rumours coming out of Norrie land this morning Is Grattan and Corkbeg awarded points over games against Wanderes can anyone confirm

[GerCork]

Wouldn't surprise me Harsh. Some of the wanderers galactico lads were recognised from the tv

[Harsh ref]

Hahaha Ger I think if true and they were caught third time doing it they should be automatically relegated

[Cityboy66]

Hahaha Ger I think if true and they were caught third time doing it they should be automatically relegated

If it is true and they are proven to have been fielding for a 3rd time they should be thrown out, not let in next year either things are bad enough

[Harsh ref]

My sources up in Grattan have confirmed that they were told they got the 3 points this morning so it’s true and I’m with you city banish um

[CBL20]

If that is the case for the Galacticos, they should be relegated.

That would be 4 games so if true.....

AOH - UCC
League - Grattan, Grangevale and Corkbeg

They won this week too against Springfield. Hardly turned in a legal side for the final game? ?

Galacticos on tour!

Don’t mind the relegation get them out full stop if that’s the case any team they get a result off will be appealing the card for illegal players every game again next season.

[Timmy2rolls]

How are they able to prove this man was illegal?

[Jason Bourne]

The next 7 days will be very interesting in the Premier.

Currently
5th Village on 16
6th Springfield on 14 ( appeal pending)
7th The Galacticos on 14
8th Corkbeg on 14 (appeal pending)

Next week possibly ( depending on appeals)

Funny how things balance out.

[One Trick Pony]

[Jason Bourne]

2 walkovers according to the league rules = removal from the league

Going off the thread Grattan already have the points no?

[GerCork]

The AUL won't have the goolys to boot the galacticos

[TurnTheFullback]

Ya it’s definitely mixed messages from the Aul , apparently card was good for Grattan and Springfield, you’d hope a team a who have been caught wouldn’t do it again , if so , off to the business league with them as no place for them

[Play it out]

Cards may read fine but the players on the pitch weren't against Grattan. I can't see them not getting points.

A Galacticos player said to me they have had to pull players regularly on day of games. They didn't think people would notice.
