I thought for a while there Pass & Move had made the most amazing predictions ever... but then realized it was just the results.
Well done to Leeside keeping the Cork flag flying... Hard luck Grattan AET??? Killer. Any report lads?
Kinsale had an impressive result. Coachford showed how difficult they are to play.
Innishvilla took a huge step forward in their bid to remain in the 1st division next year with a vital away win in the league... That's 13 points from a possible 15 in the last 5 games... I guess like all games this weekend the wind was a huge factor. We had the aid in the first half (more across pitch than anything but it was helping) but failed to capitalize going in 0:0. Came out 2nd half and played some great football to create and score two excellent goals. Conceded 1 from a dangerous free kick swung in on the wind. Squeeky bum time, conceded a second from a replica free kick, the wind made it so hard to defend. But fair play to the lads worked an excellent third goal and we held out for the last 10... That win now puts us 4 points clear of hibs with a game in hand. Albert rovers already look down...

Well firstly I'd like to say well done Towlie an Leeside for a great result.The result is all that matters an ye dug deep an yer in the semis.

Ourselves,well if we played badly as ye already know I would be the first to point it out but considering where an who we were playing I thought we were excellent throught out the game.The weather(a gale blowin for the entire game) an the pitch were not great an it suited Bally's more physcial defensive style to be honest but I dont think they were prepared for the way we came at them especially in the 2nd half against the windThey were desperate men for a lot of the game throwing bodies in front of an on top of us to stop us playin.We were a yard quicker than them but they were cute an knew wherwe to give away frees where it would not hurt them.

The ref an his display also could no doubt be a factor but I do not want to sound as if we are bad loosers.I could'nt honestly blame him for any of their goals an the penalty decisions that we thought were straight forward were 50/50 at best an I know if they had been given against us we would'nt be happy.If I'm to be very honest an I will be we beat ourselves.Bally were on the back foot for a lot of the game an happy enough to soak up the pressure but we outplayed them footballing wise an more than matched them in the physcial sense.

You can alwasy tell when a team is struggling when they make changes quickly as Bally did in the 2nd half.We were pushing them back an back an took a deserved lead from man of the match Mark O'Sullivan.But you see we were winning headers for the whole game an not giving away silly frees up to about 10 mins to play but then probably sensing victory we got a bit nervous an started to bite a bit at them.

Their were 2 lads from some limerick paper standing with me an as soon as we started to give away the frees they told me thats this is when Bally would start to pick it up an they did.They changed their front 2 an it did change the game for them.We did not compete for 2 headers an were were punished an the 3rd goal was a freak ,Ronny Radford type shot.Great strike but never to be repeated.3 / 1 was harsh,we came an played the top, side in Limerick on their own patch an played them off the park an''Supporter'' I dont think you could argue that we were the better footballin side,but in fairness to ye they have bags of experience an weathered the Grattan storm.They were also excellent in the air an on the day when the wind was as strong as it was that was a major factor in them keepin us to 1 goal.

I was gutted for the lads at final whistle because they had come away from home again an put in a fantastic display an given their all to have victory snatched away in so crule a fashion.Speaking to the Bally management afterwords they were very complimentry towards us in sayin that we were a fantastic young footballin side with a great future ahead of us.That was after we had to listen to them sigin an roarin in their dressin room right next to ours.Loosin is **** an thats all.I know some one has to loose but when you gave what our lads gave to come away with nothin is gut wrenchin.
Thanks for the words of support throughout an again well done Towlie an Leeside we'll be cheerin ye on in the semis.

Nice one innish - great result for ye. Fine run of form lately. Who got your goals..

Kinsale won 6-0 while the scoreline suggests it was all one way traffic it was only 1-0 at half time. Le Tizz with a cracker too i mite add! Bally being beaten is good news for the rest of us. We've got coachford away next week so we know what to expect. It's the same every year down there tho..always a bit of aggro to spice the game up but the pitch is usually in good condition so should be a good tough competitive game. Hard luck Gratton too - heart breaking. Sounds like you gave a good account of yourselves though. Great result for leeside. Everyone on the MFA thread was writing ye off! Not me however! Take note of my predictions.. Any info on how the game went? Weather not great for the week i dont think... lets hope we dont get any more cancellations from now on in.

Sheamie Harrington got the first, Se�n O'Hara the second and Bromly Rohue the third. I think I got a touch on their 1st but a hibs striker claimed it and I wasn't trying to take it off him, and their second came off two heads (both Innishvilla) before reaching the net...

Le Tizz with a cracker too i mite add!

ball hit off me and i even had me eyes closed but i'm claiming it anyway

hard on the kanturk lads, i felt sorry for em in the 2nd half, after going 3-0 down there way no way back and in the position they're in its hard going to keep battling away, to their credit they played out the 90 minutes. a bit of luck and self belief and i think they might get their 1st win of the season, prob a home game so i'm happy we've been there already. hard luck grattan and well done to all the lads with leeside, looks like the better side of the draw for ye but keep focused ! tough game for us at coachford and not taking anything for granted, its always been only the odd goal between us in the past few years and no doubt there'll be no shortage of tackles

wonder how glenthorn will perform against ballyphehane, could be a tough game, grattan have enuf to be comfortable against castleview and park to take the 3 points in kanturk

leeside could keep a treble on the cards with a win at blarney street but what littleman tells us dont take them for granted either towlie

thick n fast from next week on with the evening matches, sure we'll have plenty to talk about now, get out your predictions cap pass n move, we could open a book ......

Moneygourney, Douglas.

Go up Marybourough Hill towards Carrigaline, after passing Broadale Estate, turn left (towards Garyduff sports complex) and about 3/4 mile along that road turn right. Pitch on right just past Nursing Home.

Sometimes their AUL Junior side play in Garyduff sports Complex to get there instead of turning right towards the nursing home continue along the road you can't miss the complex...

The AOH Cup semi's have been drawn

Leeside V Park United
Grattan Utd V Kinsale or Villa Utd

I've heard that Villa have been thrown out of the competition for playing a player that was cup tied, is there any truth in this?

i didnt hear anything of that rumour at the seaside but it might explain why the aul havent fixed our semi game yet maybe, if there's a complaint gone in about a previous game, does that mean that ballintotis get a 2nd crack off it i wonder ?? or was it before then ?? littleman seems to be close to villa so wonder if you've heard anything from them..

we struggled to make much impact in coachford at the w/e, pitch was damp and bumpy and a strong wind dominated much of the play, a few chances at either end could have nicked it for either team but a draw was probably a fair result, coachford played as much ball as we did, plenty of tackles but it certainly wasnt a dirty game, we were disappointed to lose points but have to get the result behind us and concentrate on villa up in fairhill on sat, last year a run of draws blew it for us in the league so we'll be conscious of not going down that road again

3-0 sounds convincing at o'neill park, any match report ? and good win for leeside over blarney street gives them what might be the preferred draw in the semi, wonder if the semis are on neutral ground this year or has anyone heard different, dosnt look like any home ground indicated on billy's site

01/04/2008, 2:35 PM

looks like ye're camping out at home in hollyhill for the next few weeks littleman/thirdeye, lovely visits from leeside, ballyphehane, (away to park) and kinsale in the league and prob throw in the semi of the aoh not soon after, gonna be spits n studs flying up there for the month of april

we are packin our dubarrys and hitting the road for awhile, we'll be well versed on avoiding traffic up on top of the hill with visits to villa, castleview and grattan in the next 2 weeks and throw in a visit to little island to wish leeside all the best in the munster semi and potentially a visit north again for an aoh cup game

lots of points to be played for but plenty of would be title clashes so by the end of the month there may be a better picture of how the bookies are playing their cards, one game at a time and try to avoid injuries and extra time, any chance that the fcukin wind n rain would stop some weekend and encourage some more football to be played, we're getting webbed feet up at the fort but it might come in handy if this keeps up

big one for us up in fairhill on sat, we should have a full squad so time to stand up and be counted

The gossip pages seem to be filling up so I'll try me best to add some light to whats on everyones minds at the minute.

Firstly tizz ye play us next Tue 15th up in our place then 19th down in your place,an then ye have to come back up to play us in the Aoh,the 2 semis are on the 1st an 2nd weeks of May with the final being played on the 23rd May. I would agree with you on how the end of April will be a better time make a call on who is in the best position on the finishing straight.I have the number for the Commons Inn an with the number of games ye have to play up Norrie land ye might as well book in.You will have to come up for a pint in the Anglers after the game,win loose or draw.

With regards to toepoke an his summing up on the 5 games in 8 days hes not far wrong an I would agree with him on the current condition of our place.Its good to soft at the minute.Dry weather is needed big time.If the weather holds then there is an out side chance of playin the 5 games.If theres any doubt,then the B games will be switched or cancelled.The A games will be played at home an if the weather is not on our side we always have the option of Mayfield or Blarneys all weather pitchs.We have to keep the momentum going now an callin games off because of ours or anyone elses pitch not bein playable is or should be out of the question.I would like to go on holidys in June this year knowin the season is finished.

With regards to the Villa thing I wont comment on it because if it was our club in the same position I would'nt like it being the subject of talk.I personally dont think that this forum is the place for this type of discussion.Thats my own opinion an I would hope people appriciate it.

On any other matters if someone has a question I will do my best to get an honest answer.

kryste thats a 1st for you, you dont want to be gossiping about any clubs ?? this is somewhat of a turnaround, you've had a go at a few clubs on this forum and even teams from up the country on other forums (i did enjoy you getting the limerick lads riled up it must be said), and now you're taking the higher ground when its a villa club that seems to be close to your own heart, fair play is all i'll say but please dont go changin your mind depending on whos on the receiving end of the discussion, i originally asked the question because the 1st i heard that villa had been thrown out was on this forum and the fact that we were down to play villa in the cup of course i've got an interest in what was actually happening, latest i know is that they are appealing so we're taking it that the fixture is still on and the winners await a trip to o'neill park in the semi (a repeat of last year with grattan and leeside at home in the semis, i'll just add that to my x-files list, getting big now !! )

i dont mean to get off on a bad foot though, we seem to have put our personal differences behind us so we'll let the football do the talking and having a pint and a chat after the game is what it's all about, thanks for the offer for a scoop in the anglers, i'd be surprised if any teams will be stopping off for pints after midweek games let alone weekend games, the offer is open to yer good selves for a seaside drink anytime as well though, finishing work and rushing to play a match aint ideal and we've got about 8 weeks of that to look forward to !! there might be more to have a drink and celebrate over in a few more weeks but lots of tired legs in the mean time

some huge games coming up so and i think we're all agreed that seeing as all the fancied cllubs are playing each other then it'll be somewhat clearer by the end of april who is still in with a shout or maybe who's after blowing their load, i didnt hear about the 2nd grattan fixture at the seaside 4 days after the hollyhill game till now but thanks for the heads up, more insider trading from you i guess but thanks for lettin us know, dont agree with playing teams back to back but it seems like an aul policy in the past few years

our pitch isnt great at the minute (very bumpy- we'll try to sort that out for our next home game tho...... against grattan in 2 and a half weeks)

we were looking forward to the game up at o'neill park, i hope for everyones sake that there is an improvement in the weather and the match traffic doesnt affect it too much, like you said tho, there are great alternatives in mayfield and blarney but i'd say ye'll fancy keeping us at o'neill pk tuesday week, we'll be best of friends by the end of this we'll be spending so much time togther

I seem to recall people quick to give their two cents when Kinsale were in a similar position last year?! How things have changed:confused:

I dont know the ins and outs of the story but if we benefit from it then so be it. If we have to play them then we wont complain either.

Execellent two page spread in yesterdays star on the Grattan v Castleview game at the weekend. I love reading stuff like this...begs the question should Billy Lyons get a side kick in to help him cover the games?? I would love to be reading more about the AUL in the echo every nite.

02/04/2008, 12:15 PM

I dont want to confuse the situation thats all,Tizz.We share the Anglers with them an another few an all I'm sayin is I'd rather wait till its in black an white an official till I pass comment on it,until then I'm stayin out of it.What happened with other teams last year should have no bearin on it because thats done an dusted now.What I say about what they get up to outside of Cork is exactly what it is stuff that happens outside of Cork.I personally get no satisfaction out of rubbin clubs faces in it when their down,especially Aul sides.

With regards to the fixtures all you would have to do Tizz is get your secretary to contact the Aul fixture secretary an he will be more than helpful in regards to your up an comin fixtures.Its no big secret an its not like they pull the games from a hat every week.The problem out there at the minute is that clubs have an axe to grind with the Aul an cant be bothered contacting them when they have questions to be answered.Thats what their there for an if you would like to know somthin just ask them.I'm not in favour of back to back fixtures either but I can do nothin about it,its just one of those things,ask the Gunners an Liverpool if their exactly happy with their fixture list........

I gave my 2 cents worth a few weeks back about the Aoh semis an I would have also prefered a neutral venue as I think it adds to the game itself.The pressure is all on the home side they way they are doing it at the minute an you can become complacent thinkin your on a banker cause your playin at home.Theres pros an cons to it I know but again I can do nothin about the situation now an even if I could I would have rahter it be in either Blarneys or Mayfield Fifa pitchs,an that may not have suited ye with no disrespect ment.Like any other team we love playin at home,as long as our pitch is in good nick it allows for a good game of ball.But as with all other pitchs when the weather takes over its a lottery an I'd rather not have it like that.

littleman

03/04/2008, 5:24 PM

i'm finishin early this week so I'll get me uptake on the weekends fixtures in now an I'll tie in with ye Mon.

A good few games this weekend up Norrieland.The View ,Villa an ourselves entertain Kanturk,Leeside an Kinsale.I'd love to see 3 northside wins but that might be a bit of a long shot considering the opposition.

We have a full squad to choose from so the management will have some tough choices to make but with a game Tue against Ballypheane they will have the luxury of maybe rotating players.

Leeside will an always do give us a good game an I hope the weather gives us a break because there are a lot of us puttin a lot of effort in behind the scenes to ensure games go ahead only for the bleedin weather to get in the way.

I can see Kanturk given Castleview a good game because in fairness there attitude this season has been spot on in light of there loss'es they still battle on an make it hard for you.The Villa an Kinsale shoud be a good game an I would give Kinsale the edge in this one.I cant see any of the games bein high scorin an again I would put this down to the teams involved,but a lot will depend on the weather.If its a nice bamy Saturday then football will be the winner,if not then I'm apoligising to Leeside because our showers wont be in place for another coulpe of months an ye will have to go home mucky.

But before anyone says anthin cheeky yer all used to that anyway,;)TTFN

2 all up in in Villa. Two draws on the trot now for us... sense of Deja vu anyone? I hope not FFS! First half we could of been out of site. It was only 2 nil at half time - Derek Mc with both goals.. could and should of been 4 nil. Sat back in the second half and invitited them on us. In a carbon copy of last yr's game up there we conceded two second half goals. We should of had a penalty at two all but of course Damien wasnt going to give it. Cowardly to say the least. Having said that Villa were full value for their draw.

Leeside tomorro nite. Walking wounded for leeside at the moment? One eye on the semi at the wknd?!!!

How's the form lads? I haven't been on here for a while - I was out there with injury for a few months. Was up at the grattan game at the wknd but only got there in time to see the 2nd half. Grattan were probably value for the win but they are not a team that I would seriously worry about playing in the aoh final if we both made it through our tough semis. They're skillful and quick, and JP is a serious threat but if you'd ask me would I be apprehensive about playing them agian then the honest answer is no. But if you asked me are they also capable of winning both the league and aoh, then the answer is yes. as for the game itself, we scored two og's which I didnt see so I cant comment on them. Then we missed a pen when we were 2-0 down and grattan went 3-up before we got a late goal. We just didn't have the squad to put out a side against them that could go there and win. On the line injured were J Keegan, J Lyons, M Kenneally, C Ahern, E Linehan ,G O Mahony, Gonzo(absent). Others then had to play who were walking wounded just so we could field a team. It was good for a few younger players that we brought along to get experience against the league champions. We need to win now tomorrow night to put ourselves back in the frame in the league. Otherwise our chances look slim. Whether or not we'll end up doing an arsenal on things remains to be seen - I hope our squad can absorb any more injuries in the coming weeks and continue to fight on all fronts - as I mentioned earlier in the campaign our squad is threadbere.

i think the panel of players that teams have to choose from will be the winnings of the league (so a big slice of luck helps here), we can all say we were missing players on the day- it hurts everyone, when all is said and done, the 3 points is what will be remembered, a very good win for grattan and they move up the table.

seasiders had a very disappointing result against villa, to say we werent happy with the ref is somewhat of an understatement, he decided to make a game of it in the 2nd half because .....who knows, we lost 2 points, a match ball (i'm using the word "lost" in the loosest sense here) and with a hard 2 weeks ahead with players missing and what have you, we dont want a repeat of last years unbeaten draw specialist streak, its all about 3 points, if you have to beat the other team and the ref then that's what you're gonna have to do

leeside in little island tomorrow night- its been an odd goal between us in the last few years so with points being dropped by both teams on saturday then its a game that both of us will be trying to win

glenthorn with a good win over park keeps them in the hunt, park still not out of it either, no team is really out but form is a great advantage this time of the year, i would like to wish grattan and bally all the best tmrw night but if there was a result that could give both teams no points then i have to say i'd like to choose that box, nothing against ye lads but i'm thinking selfish here, i'm sure its reciprocated so no hard feelings

2 big games tomorrow, more next week...... ya gotta love it !!
break a leg fellas, its gonna be just like an epsiode of 24 now, the clock is ticking and the action coming thick n fast
i'll have plenty of salt n vinegar with mine ........

you can do some talent spotting on the gallery of the refs association here http://www.isrscork.com/index.htm, good directions to grounds as well if anyone fancies a pitch-crawl at the end of the year, i'll be studying the laws of the game to try to work out what the hell went on last saturday and to figure out a way to deal with it when we get to dance again next week

tizz down but not out :(

absoltuely le tizz, a panel is what will win the league for u, not a strong 1-11. I appreciate grattan had just as many if not more missing but the luxury they have is that players will come in and they wont weaken the team. I dont know what kind of depth ballyphehane or kinsale have but we certainly dont have the same depth as grattan and it could prove pivotal now that the majority of us could be playing 2 games a week going forward.......

TUESDAY
Premier League
Leeside v Kinsale, ehh... draw:eek:
Grattan v Ballyphehane Celtic.... Grattan to continue their recent run of form in the league for me.
Castleview v Villa United ....local derby - competitive draw methinks.

Premier A League
Leeds v Wilton Utd ... Wilton for an easy away win
Ballyvolane v Dunbar Celtic... draw
Village Utd v Greenmount Rangers ...Home win for village

WEDNESDAY
President�s Cup Final
Leeds v Coachford ... dont know much but on the league standings i'll go with leeds

THURSDAY
AUL 1
UCC v Innishvilla.... those pesky students will be off drinking or studying.. away win.

Christ lads i cannot wait for tonight. Should be a cracker. If rumours are to believed leeside are like the walking wounded. A win for us tonight and you could almost discount leeside from the title race. A loss and ye'd be right back in amongst it. I've gone for a draw purely because of recent results down in little island. Only time will tell.

I fink Grattan will prove too strong for ballyphehane. I'd love to see a draw but i dont think it will happen. Ye seem to have sorted the indifferent league form ye had at the start of the campaign and are coming good at the right time.

Sun is shining - multi's are out and dusted down. Sore feet ahoy!!

Perhaps I should have clarified a thing or two im that post weeman. I was just basically saying that ye deserve respect as a squad, and that you have a good panel of players as evidenced by the result at the weekend. But do I think you would be favourites against us in a one-off cup game with the majority of our better players fit......Nope.........

As I said already the best squad will win the league and that's why Grattan will be there or there abouts.

On another note, it was my first sample of your home turf - I commend your club because you seem progressive and dedicated and its come on leaps and bounds up there and I hope it continues to do so. You could well do with lengthening the pitch though because its not good when the keeper can kick the ball out at either end (not even will full effort) and it lands in the penalty box every time. But hats off to your club, keep up the good work

Grattan 4 Ballypheane 2

The Gratts were excellent on the night an full value for there win against one of the contenders after a nightmare start.Bally took the lead in the 2nd minute.Indicision amoung the defence on a Bally free ended up with Delea, I think pouncin to give them the lead.We had to make some changes for the game due to it bein a somewhat different game in prospect to the Leeside one and the result just shows how well we played.A credit to all the squad an management.

We laid seige to the Bally goal after they scored and if it was'nt for some great defending an a bit of luck the equaliser would have come sooner.Apeno awarded after Bally were hangin on by there finger tips after some sustained pressure an Danny Dunne duly obliged.We had 2 or 3 excellent chances to extend our lead an as luck would have it Bally from one of there few chances in the 2nd half grazed the top of the bar before we took a much deserved lead.The it turned into the Figo show from there on in.He was untouchable on the night.

Danny had the Bally back line at 6's an 7's again to cross for Figos first (a header) an from a Dunne free Figo glanced in his 2nd again a header.We were runnin rampant ,bar the odd Bally attempt on goal . Dunne an Jp missed 2 one on ones a peice before with 5 mins left Bally pulled one back.Then with a min left Decky Gostel tore through the Bally back line as if it was'nt there to square for Jp to add his customery goal an top off another tireless display from him an Dunne.

Excellent team display an another 3 points on the board.

:)Cheers for the compliments on our grounds an set up rebel.We are trying to get the best for our players so they have less to be lookin at else where an I can definetly promise you showers next season.An bigger changin rooms as we expect our new dressing rooms to be open for use before the end of this season.The pitch,well what can you say.Its on a hill,it will always be on a hill,its the feckin Norhtside an the whole place is one big hill ,but when its cut an rolled its a great place to play an the players love playin there.Its not Wembley or Turners Cross,,,,,,Its O'Neill Park,an we are very proud to call it home.

With regards to the extending of our pitch,na.It would be easier to change goalies.But we wont be doin that either because the one we have is excellent.He is or was an ex Cork mnior keeper in the Gaa no less an I have never seen anyone kick a ball from either hand or ground as far as he can .Remember if you will yer pitch is or would be the biggest in the Aul if not in Cork.So ours is well within the limits just smaller compared to yours.Our keeper just makes it look smaller again with the lenght he puts into his kick outs.

Its also worth remembering we played the quater finals of the Fai junior cup in our place,the Fai checked the dimensions themselves before granting us permission to play there once they were ok with the dimensions of the pitch.Its a neat tidy pitch,just dwarfed compared to yours.

With regards to your earlier comments ,confidence is clearly not lacking down Littleisland direction as much as fit players are.More power to you an I hope yourself an Leeside can live up to yer selfbelife.Good result against Kinsale an I wait to hear the reports.;)

disappointing draw again from both teams point of view, from a kinsale perspective the last 3 draws on the road has seen our good start somewhat diminished and it now gets more difficult to keep up the pace

the match was competitive and free flowing, tom tully was largely a spectator which is a compliment to him, there were a few flying tackles but both teams were chasing the win so to be expected really, no dirty stuff between the 2 teams

plenty of great chances were squandered by both teams, both sides missing numerous 1 and 1's and the nearest anyone got was a 2nd half free kick by derek mc that crashed off the crossbar with the keeper rooted to the floor, with the exception of derek mc its hard to see a goal coming from anywhere else in the team especially since derek varian has lost his scoring boots !!!:eek: and nobody on the bench made a difference (hard to do anything with 5 minutes :mad:)
a point doesnt knock either team out but with grattan picking up 3 where we pick up 1 then deja vu is looking horribly familiar

away to castleview on saturday is simply a must win or we'll be out at garretstown in the rock pools for the rest of the year, the 2 games up at o'neill park could make or break our season, the form team looks like grats and who'd bet against em !

what was your slant on the match towlie ?

Thats pretty much spot on Le Tizz. I think Kinsale created the best chances
in the 1st half with Leeside improving in the 2nd.Happy to keep a clean sheet
after our shambolic defending last week.
Leeside had an absolute sitter to win it near the end but I think Kinsale deserved a draw.Very tough game all in all, just what the doctor ordered before sunday.

just to add to that, very besta luck on sunday, I'm sure there was a fella down from nenagh on the line last night, older fella with a long coat and cowboy hat (gotta be from tipp), seems about right that they'd be doin a bit of homework on ye

given that ye brought some players back to life that ye "rested" against grattan ye should give a good account of yourselves, jackman park is a decent set up so should give ye every chance,
we were disappointed that ye didnt score any goals for us in yer own net (as ye did for grattan on saturday- i dont think i ever came across a team conceding 3 fcukin og's before :eek:) but as you said, both sides should have put it away before the final whistle last night so we cant argue with a draw, up to us to chase grattan next tue & sat and open it up for everyone else i spose but nothing new there either, park might do us all a favour and stop the hollyhill machine briefly on saturday in mitchelstown and make it more interesting at least till may, as much as it pains me well done to grats on another big big win last night ;)

be great to see ye in the munster junior final towlie, all the best from the seasiders
