Cork AUL 2023/24

[Harsh ref]

Where on against Ucc above in gratts Big day for parish Pa Connor’s have whippy vans order for half 1

[Harsh ref]

Only messing lads no whippy vans few bouncy castles family day out only way we see committee at a game so they can charge at the gate money money money hopefully we get 3 points tho

[fruice]

Ah well then absolutely they'll get the points. It's an idiotic rule. But wouldn't surprise if Conlon was trying to find a way of screwing them over. Also, I think that if a team are found to have played an illegal player by The AUL then the game they played in should be awarded to the other team regardless of if they appealed it or not. Knocka should have got the points for that Cathedral game as soon as the AUL said they played an illegal player. Seems they like to have this superiority over everyone, "oh look we spotted this club cheating but you didn't so no points for you"

The fact the leagues will run deep into June is an absolute farce too. I think the divisional cups should be scrapped, serves no purpose when some teams start in the semi final. Obviously years ago before the league was mismanaged and lost over 50 teams they were a great idea. Get rid of the county and city cups too. Create one cup for teams division 1-3, The Mossie for Prem and Prem A and have the AOH for all then. This would reduce the fixtures and get us an end of May finish.

The most important thing is that the rules are applied consistently, people might not agree with them but as long as the correct procedures are followed as per the rule book set out at the start of the season there can be no complaints.

Not for one minute should any cups be scraped including the Corinthians Cup.

Winning silverware is hard done it’s vital to keep interest going in junior soccer that every team feels they have a realistic chance of getting a pieces of silverware every year.

If you remove the divisional and Corinthians Cup you make this very very hard for the lower ranked teams.

As lower ranked team especially in the lower divisions you will probably lack the consistency to challenge for league honours but a cup run at your level should be an achievable target.


Take this away and in my opinion you would lose more clubs and that’s the last thing the AUL needs.

The prolonged nature of the season is mainly due to the bad weather and the fact the most teams and infrastructural useless and don’t have the money or the drive to improve their facilities to help combat this issue.

Would definitely agree with this.
Should consideration be given to running cups later in season to keep teams interested,sure they be finishing up at same time as now anyway?

The gap between michaels cup semi and final and Henry healy semi/final was shocking.
Run them closer together from February maybe?

Obviously weather an issue but what happened to talk of aul block booking astros?
If they block booked dates teams that are behind on games could be made play to keep things even then?

Then again they may not want to upset certain teams and force them to play.

Obviously weather has been a huge issue this year but surely better organisation could be managed

[Harsh ref]

All the talk about Ucc now all year I hope to see good game today if their bate out the door by Grattan over 35s I be disappointed

[goal-achio]

All the talk about UCC
All the talk was negative, what do ye be on about

[Harsh ref]

Stroll in park for us could of hit 10 ucc looked like pub team

[Rossum]

Stroll in park for us could of hit 10 ucc looked like pub team

Harsh you have no affiliation to grattan stop spreading fake news around this forum , comfortable for grattan tho 5-0 with 5 different scorers bullman on course for the golden boot

[Play it out]

UCC haven't anything to play for. Grattan and Coachford should win all their games easily. The game between them will be important depending on the appeal result.

[Harsh ref]

Excuse me Rossum go back up to castleview you I’m here along longer than you no need for that

[Ballwasthere]

Savage performance by village battering Grangevale 4-0, nothing to play for I know but good win to keep momentum ticking over before the big final

[One Trick Pony]

Agree with you Rossum he’s on here all year trying to stir up with castleview and gratten

[Cityboy66]

Great win for village. As of now the league will come down to Coachford/Grattan on final day great spectacle. Fellas on about points here for this and that, forget about it until they are given. In other leagues shock result of weekend for me was Loc Zarcos losing to Rathcormac on penalties.. thought they’d be in a good position with the league but fair play to Rathcormac great result. Some fellas on this forum are worried about just 2 teams at times..

[Broadway Joe]

2 finals on today lads.
Id imagine churchvilla mogeely tight to call?

Will try get down to Waterloo knocka tonight

[legend23]

Best of luck to knocka celtic tonight.

[Harsh ref]

Very harsh one trick Iv kept ye entertained all year I’m sorry if I upset anyone just giving my opinion I am gratts man and we’ll do the double last few weeks Iv sat with castleview lads had few pints all good buddies of mine and the only question they seem to ask is who’s this harsh ref haha Rossum your sound ol fella but your only blow in up here in Grattan so calm down man yer just having the crack on here haha

[Harsh ref]

Had few pints with knocka team see lads on here that slagged um off crawled back under yer rocks personally for me l what I witnessed tonight proved why Daniels is best in Aul and won more than anyone manager over last 10 years 1 down and brought two injured players on Chris and Cuffy scored and set up goals took um back off complete magic credit where it’s due

[Play it out]

These pints are killing you on here Ref.

Tired Waterloo tackling for the pens and game done with late winner. Job done by Knocka.

There was no magic.

[Harsh ref]

Hopefully Grattan do double now we take another few trophies up northside

[Harsh ref]

Big news coming out of northside I’m hearing Aul screwed over Grattan they lost their appeal looks like their trying best to help coachford win it

[TurnTheFullback]

I’m hearing City Wanderers went in and proved that the 2 players in question were registered and that their recent results stand but spin a story to suit the narrative Harsh. Grattan look to have a slight advantage over Coachford but playing for the draw could be dangerous , be a cracking game.

[Harsh ref]

Be great last game of season

[TurnTheFullback]

Agreed , big game to finish a boring enough season, Aul really need to try and make the league more competitive, can’t have it coming down to 2 teams every year. Hopefully Village progress more as they definitely going in the right direction under a good coach.

Ya sure i was registered all along ;)

[Harsh ref]

Still can’t get head around this Grattan told they would 100% win points back and now Martin conlon says it’s all above board surely we can smell a rat here

[KevinJBarry]

Ah now stop will ya. How dare you say Martin Smells like a rat

[fruice]

I only know what I’ve heard hear.

But the comet system is fairly fool proof you either registered or you’re not.

If they are illegal it’s easy prove.

I don’t see how there could be something going on.

[Harsh ref]

Read back my posts from last week told ye they’d find loophole for coachford

[Cityboy66]

Spot on Fruice, not exactly sure what went on as only going off what seen in here but i don’t see what the loophole could possibly be as Fruice said player is either registered or they’re not. It’s fairly black and white

[fruice]

Read back my posts from last week told ye they’d find loophole for coachford

What’s the loophole?

Or is it just pub talk?

[Waterloo]

What’s the loophole?

Or is it just pub talk?

Harsh talk , worse than pub talk

[Harsh ref]

All I’ll say is we were told points in bag not there not can’t say more till we look into it

[Play it out]

MFA will be the next step. Grattan will get points there. Makes a mockery of the Premier Division that the league can't sort themeselves.

[fruice]

Did Grattan lodge a protest against the original result?

Once again it all depends on what the findings by the AUL were.

There is a lot of “TALK” on here but nothing concrete so that one could say ya City Wanders are right or wrong.

You would need the full story

[GerCork]

Ah stop the lights Fruice. The galacticos had a different team out every week.

[Who?]

Ye mad our what ! coachford will probably get the points!! even dho it was Notting to do with them coachford are well looked after ..and do the Aul want another cup in the Northside..castleview winning primer A knocknaheeny celtic Henry healy then grattan with the premier..and you might yet have village with aoh if the win be some year for Northside teams to be fear

[Who?]

I'd grattan get the points be alot pressure on coachford to win anything?

[fruice]

Once again all talk nothing specific.

The rule book is clear and easy to identify an illegal player via FAI connect.

I ask again did Grattan lodge a protest against the original result?

[Harsh ref]

Just confirmed Grangevale have left the Aul

[Cityboy66]

Just confirmed Grangevale have left the Aul

Sad enough really. Down to business league to try pick up a few handy cups.. hopefully there better players don’t follow suit there is 2/3 lads there plenty good enough to play for a decent side.

Fear? What are you afraid of?

[KevinJBarry]

Just confirmed Grangevale have left the Aul

Confirmed where and by?

[Harsh ref]

By their committee member gone to business league didn’t see that coming

[KevinJBarry]

By their committee member gone to business league didn’t see that coming

So its not actually confirmed then. Wasn't it confirmed that Grattan had the points as well :rolleyes:

[Harsh ref]

It was indeed Kevin and that’s why where cutting out the middle man and going over his head

[fruice]

A loss to the AUL they have put a lot of work in to become successful.

They will fit right in the business league no ground of their own and playing out of Mayfield will fit in seamlessly.

Be interesting to see what division they go?

[Harsh ref]

I’m assuming only 1 will be relegated from premier now

[fruice]

Only a matter of time before we lose a division
