Cork AUL 2024/25

[AverageJoesGym]

Was always gonna happen to many ego's brought in to that team and was never gonna work I wonder will many of the galactios be there after transfer window is closed

Made my way down to watch the game today. Donoughmore front 3 didn't give Village defence a sniff on the ball. Pressed really well together as a team, Village didn't do that. I was impressed with Donoughmore work rate they had four attempts first half and three great strikes found the net. Some of the Village defending was poor and their CM looked lost, Donoughmore on the other hand played some excellent one touch football in the first half. Village did have two cleared off the line first half and another two second half luck wasnt on their side but you had to put away your chances. Village made 3 chances at half time even one being the Goalkeeper and seemed a lot more solid second half was too little too late. They got a late goal but Donoughmore defended really well. One team sees to play as a team the other seems to have too many individuals and could be a really long season for them if they don't fix the holes in the middle of the park. Donoughmore well worth the victory after a impressive start. Good side I was impressed with them

[Idiotchecker]

Some strange calls from the village management today, changing to the first choice keeper at half time and taking off Hennessy when chasing a goal when he was looking their brightest. Donoughmore played excellent and could do very well over the year, look strong all over.

[Average Baller]

Donoughmore look like they’ll be the only ones capable of upsetting the top two while still being a step below Coachford. Cathedral be under pressure to avoid 2 relegations on the bounce.

Lads I watched the View game the referee bottled a few decisions both teams should have ended with 9 players and at 2-1 Danny was through and scored he was miles onside and was blown off. Different game if that was correctly given and why Danny is playing up top is beyond me he’s definitely not a striker and offers more in behind but Colin and Nagle obviously saw something to play him there. Hats off to Grattan they picked Castleview apart but they are definitely not miles better the luck was with them on the day, grattan back in the race now they needed that win. The pressure is on the View next week against Coachford they need a result or it’s curtains for them

[Ontheball92]

But but but…. All the talk about castleview and village being contenders not a great start for them shows just how much some people in this know about soccer Coachford flying it and will be hard to compete against let’s face it

[Jason Bourne]

Sorry lads , watched the game .

I think the term is " back in yer box'

[Hacker]

John C hattrick last night, pity about what else he can bring, fine player.


Who did he sign with

[Who?]

Knocka are looking sharp I think the would give grattan a better game than castleview from what I see today another 4 nill win 3 clean sheets ross and henna doing fine job

I think Castleview put ye through enough misery last season give it a rest. You should meet in the cup pending you beat the shipping league team and Castleview beat Roverstown

Castleview seniors the should beat riverstown ..we just have wait see but Knocka different side to last year I know the havint played anyone up there but as you said the cup will tie will tell if the meet

[Harsh ref]

Knocka scrapped over the line against strand and your telling us they’ll put it up to Coachford castleview and Grattan what you smoking man hahaha

[Jason Bourne]

Be better off now if the View an Knocka kept quite on here for a while and let there football do the talking instead of posting tripe that just gives us all a laugh.

[AverageJoesGym]

Sipping down a few pints of Coors, over heard superstar Dean is on his way out of Village and back to MSL. That lad is laughable, switches clubs more than Tiger Woods. Good player but from watching him today he wants to be star of the show everything has to be through him and holds onto the ball to long. We all knew eventually that he would jump when the going gets tough, he will probably be back by January. As previously stated to many egos, Village will have to get back to basics they need some of their big players back ASAP. Anyone heading down to the Glebe in the morning? Should be a stroll in the park for the home side

[Mrknowall]

Honestly taught they were two average teams not a great game and ref was very poor

[Jason Bourne]

Honesty appriciated , stay at home so in future. It's the Aul , grass roots football at it's best.

It was a local derby with a crowd I havnt seen at an Aul for a long long while .

Grattan Glenthorn league decider
few years back probably biggest crowd iv seen at an Aul game .

There's been senior games this weekend didn't draw a crowd like that. Brilliant to see the interest .

Credit to the 2 teams for drawing the crowd.

The ref was the same to both teams.

Let's park it now an move on to next week.

What big players were village missing outside Pa? Gurta Keniry Colin were all there, Keniry was a disgrace with the referee again, Bunter Keegan and Hennessey all played, they look lost on the pitch, nobody seems to know their role, the team looks slapped together with egos, Dean was never going to stay the lad is a dreamer, nice touch and control but like you said holds on to the ball way too long has no trust in any of his teammates to give it to them until he eventually loses it. That’s what village are for the season, they’ve nothing else and nobody else to come back. And let’s not act like there was only one team on the pitch, Donoughnore have quite a few excellent young players, they remind me of the coachford side about 7 years ago before they started winning all around them, if they stick together they’ll be a problem

[Play it out]

O'Donnell, Kearney, Long and McCarthy would have given them more in middle and will. 14 game season means league title is gone.

[Ballwasthere]

Forgot about McCarthy, that suspension could have torpedoed their season, Longy is 50 they can’t be relying on him, although he was one of their better players when he came on. Kearney is good on the ball but wouldn’t have fixed any of their problems yesterday which were all off ball I feel. O Donnell is a great winger which is why I feel Dean leaving them isn’t a big deal

Agreed they all looked lost, nobody knows their role. Team looks thrown together no communication or hard work to get the ball back. Big problem in the middle of the park for me, wide open, they didn't win one ball til Longy actually came on believe it or not. They will need Pa Long, zack, gurta back ASAP.
I was impressed with Donoughmore as I said previously, different side from what I watched last season. They will pick up plenty more points.

[Harsh ref]

See on social media coachford 3 up first ten mins.

[trandles90]

[Jason Bourne]

Correction 8.2 ,,,,,,,now,,,,come back is on

[Jason Bourne]

[Mrknowall]

I will stay at home in future. Lesson learnt

[TurnTheFullback]

Watergrasshill finally down for a game , home to Grattan on the 22nd , not an easy one to start with….

[latte2012]

Ah lads 2 games into the season and absolutely writing village off. The league was always going to be beyond them this season. The squad hasn’t even had time to gel. I’m sure a decent league finish and a cup or 2 is still in reach.

I have heard from 2 different sources from 2 separate established county sides that they are really struggling to make it out of the blocks.

[Harsh ref]

As much as I enjoyed beating Utd yesterday lads drink never worth it back to football talk big statement sat from Grattan and talk If they lost out of league think rolls reversed this week if Castleview lose to Coachford them out of running now for me be 8 points behind leaders then save to say they’ll only have cups to play for so early in season be disappointing

[Cityboy66]

Grattan will be fine same talk every year about age etc. Killarney Celtic for them now Sunday will be interesting game, Win and there in two cup finals already. Will there be much longer of weekend games do we think or is this week the last week? Another round of games next week would be great for games played already for fear of the bad weather hitting. I think MJC and FAI starting weekend after next so imagine it will be a break from league games for a few teams potentially for a while.

[Harsh ref]

Watergrasshill and Ucc could do with a break all right

[Play it out]

This Watergrasshill late start is beyond a joke. You'd love to hear the phone calls and chats where it's asked for and given.

[Jason Bourne]

Fairly simple lads, Rebel OG fixtures are out on its website.

Very straight forward to see why there not playing any Aul fixtures.

[Ontheball92]

Rumour has it dean o Connell going to sign with mayfield thought village would win all round them this year but obviously not and wants to jump ship

Heard from a mate with Avondale he’s signing for them, he’s better off playing senior, when he plays AUL he plays like he’s above his team mates which he isn’t, lovely kid just not a great attitude

Can’t see how it matters .

[Play it out]

Surely you can understand the arguments being made here?

Everyone should start on same level playing field and not when suits strongest team? No?

[Cityboy66]

Great win for Glenthorn tonight. Hopefully that can bring the club on a bit again after a tough few seasons.

[goal-achio]

Beaten 3-2

Village are off for two weeks . Is that right . It’s going on for years . It makes no difference

[FOMC]

This drives me insane, play 3 games in 10 days but then give them no game for 2 weeks. Run by a shower of gobs*ites!

In the defence of the aul it’s the lack of refs atm, 5 on holidays and 3 out injured

[Harsh ref]

Garbage talk Ros at start of season we were told they only have 14 ref available for Aul nothing extra there’s more than 6 refs down this weekend so 8 missing is complete lies even dogs on the street knows both teams in question being looked after

[Broadway Joe]

It makes a huge difference when watergrashill are playin teams in May that have nothing to play for and are winning 6 or 7nil.
Last season they had 3 games played by April while others had 8 or 9..its laughable.
A week off is fair enough as teams can request that but no games played to date is being looked after.

Fair play to them for takin every advantage they can but aul are a joke for leaving it happen..its not a level playing field

[Play it out]

The referee argument isnt' good enough. Other leagues reach out to other leagues and referees to fullfill fixtures. I brought it up with a member of the MFA, he said it is terrible practice to manipulate fixtures like this and he isn't suprised one bit.

Hmmm! Seems to me that only someone that's directly involved in the fixtures would know something like that?

[KevinJBarry]

Pretty sure that Rossum isnt the fixture secretary ;)

[Rossum]

I’m not involved with the fixtures haha a referee told me that I just said I’d pass on the info to this forum, as for watergrasshill it’s a disgrace they’ve been so long without playing

[scaffa7]

Was it the ref you were shouting at last sat costing ur club on yellows cards again and again .Rossum
