Cork AUL 2023/24

[Gunnerozil81]

200e is the going rate am I correct ? It sure is costly , but for 2 or 3 times a season , 10 ahead off 15 or 16 lads. It's nearly worth it instead of waiting around 5 or 6 weeks for a match. , if a team is going for the league, momentum is key.

Best of luck getting 10 a head off of 15 or 16 lads. Hard enough to get fellas to pay up for membership. There’s not an all weather pitch available every weekend too. I think you’re living in a blue sky world, here in the real world it simply makes sense for lots of reasons to call the game off if the weather is that bad. nearly all decent clubs will play their games when they can.

[Harsh ref]

At the Aul meeting Tom and Martin did say they’ll be hiring All weather for big cup games that has to go ahead not sure will they be forking out or do teams have to share cost be interesting to see if this does happen.

[Gunnerozil81]

Plenty of lads want to play games , if they won't want to pay for it once in a blue moon , or blue sky , gluck. Same lads not paying would sooner buy it on 2 pints.

[goal-achio]

Heard Coachford are looking for a new manager already, anyone else hear anything

[Jason Bourne]

Havnt heard anything from down that direction bar the management told the Gaa heads it's one or the other , fair dues if there's any truth in that by the way.

Shandon will be quietly confident on Sunday I'd say with the game up in Pophams.

[Average Baller]

Any standout fixtures tomorrow? Will be heading to Shandon v Coachford Sunday morning.

[Jd2793]

why are AUL not using the fai connect app? its a godsend and not hard to use at all. very handy way of keeping up with scores/scorers etc.

[Gunnerozil81]

How does it work if ur down the back of God knows where and no Internet?

[latte2012]

I’d say it’s up to the clubs to use it. Grangevale have been using it.

[Jason Bourne]

Grangevale in fairness bounce their signals off their lap tops I'd say from their Media/ IT support group who let us know whos available an not available for every game.

The teams out in the middle of no where have to use pigeons with team sheets tied to their legs who fly to Turners Cross. ;)

[Harsh ref]

Personally think this app way out of reach of Aul think aul miles behind every league in Cork same people running it 30 years nothing change spoke to lad that plays with greenwood last week not saying this is true but his words if cathedral Celtic removed from cup for playing illegal player there committee told by aul they don’t go through because they never put in objection with in 4 days even thought Aul knew player suspended till Jan surely this can’t be true.

[fruice]

To be fair the app is there if Clubs want to use it that simple.

Being honest it’s probably a bit of a pain additionally admin to an already busy match day.

But at the same time a good tool for a club especially from keeping a record of games played, goals scored etc.

Surely if Cathedral are gone the team they beat in the last round go through otherwise is just leads to a bye for some team.

The big question is we’re Cathedral aware of his suspension they might not have been.

[Harsh ref]

Yes fruice unfortunately they were well aware banned till jan just thought with this app they’d get away with it but could be in a spot of bother now good win for castleview today played nice football.

[FOMC]

Jaysus lads, I'd love to be involved with Cathedral. They're not even playing this weekend and everyone is talking about them. It's like the Glen in their heyday and Knocka when they weren't sh*te.

"If they're talking about you, they fear you"

[Harsh ref]

Fear you ??if they topple castleview you can talk about fear be interesting to see who plays with coachford tomorrow be no handy game for them

[Jason Bourne]

I just think if there talking about you there bored.

It's easier to say another team is struggling to admit your team is struggling.

An some if not all of the sides mentioned on here are struggling.

So it's easier to deflect.

But sur , what do I know ,,,,,,,,,,

[Unknown]

Only one

[Broadway Joe]

Some good games in this morning.
Grangevale springfield and Shandon coachford should be interesting.

Excited for the grangevale pre match writeup and squad announcement

[Harsh ref]

2 1 win for coachford after extra time worse coachford team I’ve seen in years 12 players and only missing Bradley and Adam Murphy safe to say they won’t be competing for league this year were there for taking all day think Shandon will be kicking themselves

What happened to their squad from last season?

[Harsh ref]

Adi bucks retired 4 gone to Donoughmore manager told um pick soccer or gaa a lot of youth players playing this morning unfortunately very young not up to standard don’t know who’s managing them now but they’ll need to add players to get close to Springfield and grangevale in my opinion.

Strange one making fellas choose between soccer and gaa in their case. It was obviously working for them for years. If ain’t broke don’t fix it it.

[Harsh ref]

Totally agree latte

I think AdaM Murphy was playiing today and on the coachfort social media they have down as scoring. Do you know if the last years AUL player of the year was one of those who went to donomore,? it didnt look as if he was there today.

[Jason Bourne]

It's a strange call alright .

Grangevale an Springfield must be happy with that though.

Village had a great away win down in Banteer considering Donoughmore have taken Coachfords exiles.

Big games for certain teams again next weekend

[Mashedpotato23]

Have seen Donoughmore play twice this season , they got a goalkeeper , striker , and a guy in midfield from coachford, Jake murphy is the striker , born goalscorer , midfielder is impressive player on the ball and the goalkeeper is very good also, 3 great additions. They also have a guy Drinan , who’s impressive on the wing

Definitely makes the league more interesting. It’s nearly hard to see past grangevale already. They have a lot going for them, biggest thing being the size of their squad and their consistency.

[Jason Bourne]

This league for the last 2 seasons has been about 2 teams , an the rest were cannon fodder.

One of those teams has lost a few an one has gained a few.

Write Coachford off at your cost,,,,,,an Grattan ,,,,,they aren't the most successful Aul club over the last 25 years for nothing.

Looking forward to this weekends games to be honest . Few crackers in store.

[goal-achio]

Which games are the crackers Jason?
Springfield got beat well tonight which was a bit of a shock.

[Jason Bourne]

Ah Goal ,,,,,,,ya havin a laugh

Blarney v Coachford ,,,,great win for Coachford by the way.

Springfield on the road, no surprise.

Wanderers v Village , always though to call but a draw was expected

The View v Watergrasshill
Corkbeg v Grattan
Kocka v Donaghmore

[Jason Bourne]

Corkbeg 1 Grattan 4 H/T

[Harsh ref]

Must say Grattan were impressive sat could of scored another few more goals to played very well keep playing like that they could have good season went to knocknaheeny game yesterday apart from one or two half chances for Donoughmore knocka dominate game start to finish Vinny is excellent player tbf to the lad

[Dr. football]

Blarney street forming again!

[latte2012]

Blarney street forming again!

Why??

[goal-achio]

Why??

They obviously believe they will learn from their mistakes and make a better crack off it.
Best of luck to them.
Castleview v Watergrasshill in the morning will be a cracker.
It will be interesting to see who wins that both potential league winners

[Harsh ref]

I think tomorrow will tell a lot all the talk last year about watergrasshill and how good they they were up against good side tomorrow

[Harsh ref]

Brilliant game both teams excellent but left themselves down with carry on after final whistle

[Harsh ref]

He was brilliant think only for Gaa he be playing senior Castleview backline were terrible I thought today.

[Rossum]

Brilliant game both teams excellent but left themselves down with carry on after final whistle
Watergrasshill support a disgrace some real nastiness from them towards the castleview players during the game and afterwards to

[Harsh ref]

Agree no need for things that were said disgraceful carry on

[goal-achio]

Lads how in gods name didnt the Aul put in an Oscar Traynor team is beyond me. I haven’t seen this guy from watergrasshill yet but you would want to be a special talent to score 6 goals in one game. There is serious talent around the Leagues this year. I think they would have done very well

Aul prob worried about paying for bus journeys and equipment, some serious talents in the leagues as you said

[Jason Bourne]

On the game in question ,,,,,,some pair of liathroidis to bully that club away.

Best decision the Aul have done in years was not embarrassing the league on a national spectrum,,,,an the Aul know that , hence why they havnt asked for a manager

We years behind,
Miles off

Be better off if they just called it the Cork Junior Select an let a fella chose from the whole lot,,, Aul, MSL Jun,,WCBL & BL

[Jason Bourne]

Rip Bobby buy the way ,,, not a United fan but he's was up there with the al time best .

That is an outrageous statement to make.
There are at least at least 20 high quality players in the aul.
We would very comfortably compete with most teams and I would nearly guarantee we would beat the CBL AND MJL by a couple of goals.
There are plenty of fellas on this page that seem to be at matches every week I’m sure they would confirm my beliefs.

[Harsh ref]

Have to agree wit goal here definitely there’s at least 7/8 players between watergrasshill castleview knocka that would be good enough and then add them to players in premier I think you definitely get a solid 20 players that would be good enough.

[Jd2793]

surely msl prem teams will try coax desmond into a move over winter?? im surprised he didnt move in the summer tbh. wonder is it a case of him not having much interest? happy to play local when gaa is over?

[Harsh ref]

He turned down Rockmount

[Jd2793]

He turned down Rockmount

interesting. he'd have started for them straight away with all their injuries this season. looks like a real talent
