If rathcormac win division 3 they should be in with a shout of team of the season. No disrespect to grattan but it’s a league they should have been winning this season, coachford were in a transition and the rest of the league was poor. If grattan can’t win the mossie it should be classed as a disappointing season.

Honest to God there's some wind up merchants on this.
I don't post often so here it goes.

Whoever does win the team of the year will deserve it as they would of having a great season.
Congratulations to all the teams who have been successful so far and fair play to all the managers and players for keeping it going all year.

Also I see grattan have gone the season unbeaten and have got awarded there 3points whtever you say thts a fierce achievement to do in the Premier.

Fair play to Village seem to be going all out with their signings alot of local lads and very good footballers going back great to see another strong team for Premier to compete hopefully with the big guns.

Still some unfinished business to deal with before the season is over so let's see who can get the job done in the next 2 weeks.

Great achievement by Grattan. They went unbeaten a few years ago too. Hopefully they can add to the squad and the top teams next year are strong.

Springfield won their appeal also looking at the table.

Why are Springfield looking? The result will change nothing they can’t be relegated?

Maybe they just want the points?

[Harsh ref]

I’m assuming he’s saying looking at the Aul tables not their looking at table Ball

[Jason Bourne]

I would take it that when Grattan were awarded their 3 points for an illegal player taking part , any subsequint appeals based on the same issue would then be awarded the points.

But only if clubs appealed.

[Ballwasthere]

I understand that, but the season is done now, they don’t gain anything from the extra 3 point, I just couldn’t see it being worth the hassle personally

I joined this forum at the beginning of this season in the hope that I would be able to get information about the various games and enjoy some previews and reviews of matches across all the leagues as I have a small involvement in one of the clubs currently playing in the AUL. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

This forum appears to be just a place where people who are either bitter or have huge chips on their shoulders about other clubs or the AUL committee come here to rant. There is very little constructive criticism, there is a huge absence of objective analysis and it appears most of the conversations revolve around 2 or 3 clubs from one area of the city.

What has amazed me all year is the lack of support from some clubs towards other clubs. There is obviously huge issues in the AUL with more clubs leaving than joining due to various reasons but instead of people trying to help there appears to be some stupid idea if one of my rivals is in trouble then it will be better for me. That may be true in the short term but it is a very shortsighted view of the big issues all clubs have with the AUL structure.

The belief that the AUL is out to get one or other club for years doesn't make sense to me as I review the results and decisions made by them over the last few seasons. There is no doubt that they have many failings and that the top table personnel is still in place despite the exodus of clubs from the leagues over the years would baffle anyone but to say they favour one club above another simply doesn't stand up to even the smallest level of scrutiny. I think we can all agree that the AUL have made some disastrous decisions over many seasons that have affected different clubs at different times. This season alone the league title that Grattan deservedly won almost ended up being awarded in a committee room instead of on the pitch. Last year they failed to award the Linnane trophy. There 'Team of the Season' award is a complete lottery and realistically could go to any club who are flavour of the month with the top table.

There are some supporters of certain clubs on here that feel if they rant long and loud enough they may get favourable decisions from the AUL or the refs or they might turn other clubs against their rivals. Give it up. It's a childish exercise and one that shouldn't be encouraged or supported. In fact it would serve everyone better if this forum was used for what it should be - a place where AUL clubs can get together and sort out the issues that are dragging the league into oblivion. Support each other to make the league a better place to play football otherwise the next forum we'll be using will be one for the CBL of the MSL.

MFA would of insisted it was addressed across the board to be fair.

They went from 6th to 5th and qualified for the Europa league???

[KevinJBarry]

Village are going to need a second dressing room . At the rate they are going they may have to enter a B team. Pa Long still going strong fairplay to him
