[hooperlooper]

[Town Fan]

As a Clonmel Town man, I would love to see us beating Killester but they seem to be a bit ahead of everyone at the moment. Still, we won't go down without a fight

[centre mid]

Does Pat Oldham still play for Rockmount???

[Worldcup]

As one who saw both Clonmel Town and Killester in action last season, I believe that you have every chance of doing well in the Junior Cup. All you need is someone to stick the ball in the net on the big occasion. Killester are very good, but so are ye.

[Noddy]

come out of his a*se he can taste your brylcream at this stage

[jimbo]

i would have to concur with ron on that one hooper;i trust that you are easier on the eye than your entries on this forum!!

[jug2004]

lay off the man.......although i myself can't understand what he is trying to say! He's gone from writin essays to talkin like a 3 year old....this man is clearly lamped!! :eek:

Fair enough its all on the day guys but are some of you not glad of stayin away from these "top 6 on merit" teams so you call them,they are there because they have proven that more often than not good football and bottle wins the day and not this odd bounce of a ball you talk about! It seems to be the same "top 6" get this far every year give or take on or two, they can't all be that lucky every year surely?

[Dr Mad]

Who are this "Top 6" you are all talking about?

[jimbo]

trinity beat tolka rvs 2-0 but had their best 2 players sent off;

[duffbeer]

Just a small heads up. You might remember i mentioned we had two players sent off in dundalk for little or nothing. The same referee that sent two st kevins players off also. well guess what; the MDL assigned him to ballymuns game against albion up in dundalk also, three ballymun players sent off. so thats 7 red's in three games. the referee is a weapon!

[MitreSize5]

hooper looper where in Cork is your ground. I need directions for Saturday

[paul_oshea]

abbeyveale didnt tolka lost so how can you predict them to get into the last 8?

[jimbo]

fair play abbey, would be some achievement for tolka to qualify now for the last 8; is there a system of buy backs like in poker?? if so is going to be a long drawn out comp!!

predictions: kill clonmel to go to pens;would be suprised if port won in carrick but ya never know;castlerea to be the suprise and get to last 8

[paul_oshea]

if castlerea are at full strenght, they will be very hard to beat, especially with the dub lads having to travel a bit.

[Goals4fun]

hooper looper where in Cork is your ground. I need directions for Saturday

as per the Cork AUL thread 'grattan play up in knocknaheeney,right across the road from APPLE computers ,comin limerick to cork road it will be on your right hand side and is very well sign posted,any need for futher directions just ask any one where apple computers is and they will tell you,grattans pitch is right across from it'

[maestro]

Any idea what Grattan Utd's pitch is like?

[jimbo]

paul; i dont think trin at full strenght anyway ;apparently 2 sent off in last rd
and others on hols; my mate who plays for them not too confident anyway; they played ballinasloe last yr i think and were beaten handy;your lot obviously betterr than ballinasloe

[paul_oshea]

it depends when castlerea play ballinasloe!!! to answer that last part of your sentence!!

[Cluba06]

I ve played against woodview this season and i know that they are a very capable side but i will have to go wembley in this one. underdogs can aslways cause problems though so just maybe! they lack quality in vital areas which could be a problem but tend to bring their opposition down to their level

[True View]

:p [QUOTE=the dazzler;612125]should be backing carew at 12/1 to win because after tomorrow we will play newtown and be in the last 8:ball:what a muppett you are Conny:p

[Van The Man]

Any idea what Grattan Utd's pitch is like?

Grattans pitch is very tight indeed. Place the ball for a corner and take about 4 steps and your at the edge of the box:eek: ....that's how tight it is. It's not a level playing field, it's uphill from left to right. Can't really comment on the surface as the day I was there, the last round of the FAI it was lashing rain days previous to the game so the sod was very very soft..We have had a week of fine weather so far so the sod might be ok...Don't bring too much of a squad as they mightn't all fit in the the container of a dressing room, I didn't notice any showers there either !!! :confused: Hooperlooper if he is online should give you the exact outlay of the field..

[maestro]

Carew aint winning no FAI

[Goals4fun]

Carew aint winning no FAI

while they are still in it they have as much chance as anybody else left in it.
Maybe you think pike are above them but how did ye get on in the league this year ?:D

[Goals4fun]

yeah but they are still in the fai. they will beat newtown handy if they make it through.
anything can happen from now on in the fai. they are not consistant in the league but on their day they can cause problems.i wouldn't discard them just yet

[papa-j]

yeah but they are still in the fai. they will beat newtown handy if they make it through

:D cup football, anything can happen. Sure didn't Park get to the last 8 with a poor team:D

not consistant coz there ****:D they didnt meet a good team yet:) they are the wimbledon of the 80s

Sorry lads typo, I meant Trinity

[hooperlooper]

van as usual you are as helpful as ever,grattans pitch is just over 70 yards by 110 yards which is well within the FIFA regulations and its 8 yards from corner flag to the edge of the 18 yard box,it may not be the best pitch in the country but its all we have,the dressing rooms,though they are not great are only a stop gap till our new dressing room facilities which will be starting building work in May are done and any team that reguires the use of showers are facilitated no problem as we have the use of the dressimg rooms in knocknaheeney indoor complex which is as good as anything in the country and they are only 400 yards from our pitch just ask peake villa i'd say they were quite happy with our set up,though our set up may seem a little unorthadox it is excellent.You are incorrect in your discription as regards the slope of the pitch,it is not left to right but straight up with a slight rise in the very left hand corner if you are playing up and that only comes into play when you have to take a corner kick if you are right legged,but the surface is very good and the grass is short but lush,its great to play ball on,the FAI is open to all junior clubs in Ireland,with all types of pitches and dressing rooms,it is not the FAI junior ''its only open to teams with great pitchs and facilities'' cup,there is not a pitch on the planet that is totally flat or perfect,if pike can adapt they could win if they dont grattan could win,either way moanin about the state of the pitch or the dressin rooms just seems a bit snobish................

[Noddy]

I've only ever heard of Greenmount, Leeside, Maymount, Passage from cork any of these teams in the same league as Grattan?

[hooperlooper]

greenmount have fallen from grace,seems like only a few years ago they won the mjc but they are in free fall now,that team got old together and had nothin comin through,pity though its a shame to see a great club side fall down the ranks,maymount,and leeside are decent but nothin special,maymount depepend a lot on there minor set up,they have promised a lot over the last few years but have not delivered,short fuses so to speak,leeside are there or there abouts most seasons,hit a purple patch a few seasons ago winning a few league titles and AOH cups,then fell quiet but they should have a go this year and look like the only side who will challange eithr Grattan or Kinsale for the premier cork aul title,passage last year went to the msl,they had spent the last 3 or 4 years just avoidin relegation by the odd win so it was timely that they left before they were finally relegated,maymount and leeside are in the aul premier,grattan are above these 2 with games in hand,greenmount are in the premier A, a division below and passage are in the msl premier,only god knows how the msl make any sense of there divisions because the correct title for passage ,they play in the MUNSTER SENIOR LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION 1A ,if u follow that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Grattan are in 4th position in the cork premier aul,played 3 won 3,for 8 against 3,park utd are on top with 7 played and and about 12points,macroom next with 9 played then kinsale 3rd with 4 played and then grattan and the teams below them have 7 and 8 games played and less than 9 points so that says a lot for them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
