I would love to see the opportunity for Junior teams to play senior, it would make sense for there to be one organisation (AUL) to run junior football in Cork and another (MSL) to run the senior football, and it does make sense for Junior teams to be able to get promoted to senior football and for senior teams to be relegated to junior football. Facilities can always be rented to make sure they are up to Senior football quality. But the liklihood of that happening is probably zero!
Some of the ideas are good radiostar - but I think one of the major point the MSL insist on is that a club is not renting their pitch.Quote:

I'd imagine in the AUL Prem there are a few handy fixtures and when they are so dominant, esp in Kinsales case it might be easy to take some results for granted.
Every game up MSL premier is like a cup final in terms of standard and attitude i found. You need to be performing and have the correct attitude no matter who your playing or else your beaten. Rockmount, Avondale have dominated it for so long it is hard to see any teams from the AUL challenging these teams anytime soon. Even Blarney, Douglas Hall, Marys (up to this season anyway), have taken sometime to build themselves up to be in a position to challenge the big two.
This is directed at glenbuck...are you in agreement with your teams manager ringing other teams players asking them to sign in January while the season is in full swing and no other manager would do so?...a certain am poster asked me to ask for your opinion and he reckons it's a complete and utter disgrace
Alot of msl teams and good few premier teams would struggle in aul premier.Quote:

Personally i feel the MSL is the best amateur league in the country. If Avondale played Kinsale 100 times you could probabaly count Kinsales wins in 1 hand...
When I have more concrete evidence from a more reliable poster I will let you know. Is the transfer window not open at the start of December ??? Pardon my naivity ! As I have said before they are all big boys.. no one is handcuffed and dragged kickin and screaming to Whitechurch or to Douglas or Avondale. Talking to the gaffer later... must set my reminder on mobile phone to ask him about your post "scout"...
Chief.. surprised you havent been first with the breaking news of the week......... Hoggy gone from Avondale to join the army!! Major loss to club and the league.
Mount won 2-1 with a penalty at the death
Didn't hear if it was controversial :D
Looked a spotter anyway but I was on the far side!! Tempo to the game was quick from the start. Rockmount should have lead at half time. Hall went 1 up with an absolute clanger from Brendan dont know what he was up to. Long free kick which Ross won for buttsy to tap in. Then a free kick was awarded Douglas hall player kicked it buttsy intercepted it and walked it into the net. It was a bit like nani against spurs few years ago. Linesman disallowed tho. Alan o Connor went on a run and got brought down. Gareth was haunted with the spotter. I felt a draw would have been the fair result.
Huge error by officials in Mount /Hall game tonite. Only Dan and Pat Murphy know why it was dissallowed. Enough said. Huge error by Brendan to put Hall 1 up. Buttsy levelled with scrappy goal. Gareth won it with a late pen after Alan O Connor was taken down.
As promised I spoke to Alan and he confirmed what I have been saying on this forum for a long time. You are a sh.. stirrer with no interest in real football matters. This obsession with Rockmount is taking over your life. A kind of Fatal Attraction. Is it time to hide our bunny rabbits... ha haQuote:

your manager would want to tell the truth and keep you in the loop because he did make the phone call and unlucky for him it was waste of his time...no obsession with any club by the wayQuote:

was a blatant spotter from where i was standing!Quote:

Glenbuck where do you think mount have to strenghten up on. Be interesting to see who ye do sign in december as it could be crucial. Will be easier to attract players as ye are top of the league again.. Who would you want to sign playerwise.. I still think it will be between these 2 for the league.. Mayfield will challenge more this year than ever before but i think they will fall short. One thing i notice is that the gap is getting ever closer between the clubs in the msl.
Going to be an exciting season with clubs signing and losing players ,
Dale through and through..Quote:

ha ha he sure is
Fermoy 6-2 ballinhassig
3-1 up at half time. Dave Clancy 2 and Tim Kiely.
Gav Quirke 1 and Graham Byrnes 2 for us in the sec half. Good day at the office.
Lads, didn't see any msl games today as I was at cup final in Dublin. Great athmosphere. would it be better supported (21662) if there was no other domestic football played on the day?
travellling up to dublin to watch shels and sligo play wouldn't interest me in the slightest anywayQuote:
