He’s free lance Star he lines the pitches haha
I keep telling you all he’s not involved with village, I copped it last year, I spoke to a player from village directly in the last week and asked about why they aren’t entering a b team and got told Dunlea has no interest until he sees that there’s a stable number of bodies to fill out both teams
As regards to the amount the signed, I’ve watched two preseason games, against jaybazz and Corkbeg, none of the new signings look to be anywhere near the level of AUL premier, John is obviously a great player, that lad Gibson if he has signed would get into most premier senior teams, jury’s out on the rest, I personally think if he’s building for the future he needs to play all the youngfellas and tell the old guard to take a step back
Hickey, O Donnell, Long, Geraghty, Cummins, Kiniry all over 30, some well past 30, they’re not going to get any better than they already are and they won’t close the gap on coachford with what’s currently around them
wrong side of 30 is nonsense nowadays. There are guys playing well into their 40s and running the show.
Ken Hoey played last night for Rockmount Seniors in his mid 40s
Don`t be thinking young guys will bridge the gap quicker.
All it comes donw to is of there lookin after there body amd staying fit age is only a number ffs ..best part knocka celtic over 35sQuote:

I’d agree with you only for a few of those names have noticeably slowed down, not everybody is a Ken Hoey, of those I mentioned Cummins and Keniry are the only two that belay their years imo.Quote:

Now that said there’s an obvious advantage in coachfords favour here, and that is the fact they have an academy and schoolboys system out there and there’s no other team for a couple miles, they’re a senior club in everything but name the way they’re run
Took in harp v Blackpool there harp actually have few players who could player higher tbh
Harp will be tough to beat in that Division for sure
Kevin cop on lads let’s be honest teams will keep walking away for Aul cause they know they won’t compete r with trophiy if coachford in league with
That’s a lie anyway because I no for a fact lenord what to but in a second teamQuote:

That’s a lot of teams idle for the weekend.
Anyone catch any games this weekend ?
Glenthorn A getting themselves back on track.
Harp with another strong win
Good 2nd Division game in Fairfield this morning, local derby, standard was pretty good. Was up supporting former team. 2-0 Cathedral but good game from both sides to be honestQuote:

Talk about tough start to Premier Knocka v Coachford then away to Grattan can’t see anything but coachford win tomorrow night only thing in Knocka favour is if anyone is going to upset Coachford it’s catching them is your only hope
AUL gloating on Twitter that this page was the most viewed last year on foot.ie Do they not realize 90% of the talk is about their shortcomings and lack of interest and support for clubs. Dinosaurs
That’s a lie I spend at least 50% of my time here having to reading about what’s happening with the 4 nortside teams including what lads have for their breakfast up there!!!Quote:

Are all of the AUL committee norries too?
Would you prefer to have 30 players and try to keep the best 18 of them or have 18 and have to try keep them all even the ones a touch off the standard?
Village are in a good position plenty of clubs struggling out there
Any truth to the mossie being round Robin format this year?
Can anyone answer me this I’m not a big fan of Ucc getting special treatment start of season but it’s like that last 20 years but can anyone tell me why City wanderers or getting same treatment now their not a college team let’s be honest
Whats the prediction tonight...Coahford never fancied going to kilmore road...going to go a 5-0/5-1 game
Something doesn’t add up Joe wanderers have to facilitation to college their normal football team like most of Aul but now Aul has giving um free past for 4 weeks another brush it under carpet Aul moment Aul I’m going to say 2 1 coach
Would you rather a team fold or spend a few weeks trying to sign more players? They had a small squad last year and lost some that squad. It's better than them playing premier with 9 players.
Not my problem Forward how can we say everyone gone fair chance to win league and cups their not a college team so if there struggling now when season suppose to be up and running what will two weeks do
They still have to play the same amount of games?
1 nil to coachford so far, Harsh penalty giving by the referee but good game so far
Luke casey is an unreal talent 3-0 now the have started where they left off i thought knocka celtic would put it up to them but going on this performance looks like its gonna be another stroll in the park with the league for coachford
Coachford are running riot up here they fear know one absolutely batterd knocka celtic here in 2nd half
Knocka folded in second half , Casey left leg again stole the show
A great team performance tonight from Coachford, a level and class above everyone in the league and that showed again tonight. They upped the gears when they needed too, Knocka have a good side but Coachford taught them a lesson. Harsh pen aswell for me. The battle for second place is on already unfortunately.
Hopefully someone beats them early and make the league open for awhile for interest
Can’t see that happening Knocka went toe to toe with them up to the pen which was bad call think if it happened up other end Knocka wouldn’t of got it but that’s football but when needed Casey stepped up 2nd half great performance from the lad I think they’ll hit between 5 and 10 every league game this year
A bold call.
They are incredibly strong.
Donoughmore & Grattan away will be somewhat sticky for them. They’ll defend better than Knocka
Just my opinion but we’ll come back to this comment in few weeks I possibly think theses lads will hit teams close to 10 goals haha
