Plus the localised scandal gets around a lot quicker with men like chiefscout on the prowl...Quote:

supporting this great county of ours would be my reason for it reznik,certainly not the style of football.Quote:

I don't think anythng bar the top level of MSL would even come near it for entertainment.
A great family Friday night out.
The main reason i'm as involved with City as I am is because it's my club, run by the fans for the fans.
Having said that, I'm not involved with any MSL club (despite what some think) and fair dues to those that are.
Personally I'll watch any game of ball. To be honest I wouldn't draw the curtains on the young fellas in the green across the road.
I be all up for the article idea but as razor said could be few issues especially with few who think they are high and mighty on this forum!!..transfer wise,expect a few to leave Avondale and also Midleton to lose their star player unless there is a manager change...oh and alot of sneaky phone calls from few,not all,managers to players in next few weeksQuote:

Chief whos going to be leaving the dale in the transfer window. Also i would like to say that I think John Ryan of midleton is a great manager. The players below in midleton should be ashamed of themselves if they want this man out of their club. He brought them back to the premier, kept them in the premier the following year and got them pretty far in the intermediate cup only to be beaten by crumlin who are a good side. John ryan was a hero below there up until this year. In my opinion the players are not working hard enough for the team with a few of them refusing to play. I think john is getting a raw deal. Ive no connection to midleton but know alot of players down there and i have said the exact same to these players. if he gets sacked i think its a disgrace.Quote:

Some interesting betting prices here lads,blarney 11-4 sticks out most for me,avondale also nice price at home to everton!
Intermediate cup draw Is tomorrow night I think
paddy power giving money away with Avondale price.must know something rest of us don't...blarney great price,also think Midleton great price at home in a 6 pointerQuote:

Well done John Ryan on your job to date, continue to grow the club as best you can.
Blarney Utd 3-3 Rockmount tonight
Castleview 4 cobh 2
Plenty of goals around tonight. Anyone come up against Bandon yet this season got any tips? We got them at home this week.
great result for blarney they really put it up to rockmount.But main talking point was 2 terrible mistakes from brendan.gifted 2 goals to blarney.Rockmount didnt look convincing but still grinding out results where some teams would have come away with nothing .Just shows the determination they have to keep there crown ,Big improvement from blarney just need to be more consistent
Just regards the handball on the line hawk for blarneys second goal,Quote:

it was my understanding that once you flash the red you cant just ignore the fact that you did??
maybe one for maninthemiddle?
i suppose if he handled the ball behind the line then technically the goal cancels the handball,same as if a defender hits a striker when the offside flag has gone upQuote:

ya,i've been told his gone,i don't know who his going to,i also heard brendan cronin has retired and steph hurley is thinking about playing junior or retiring,tadgh must be having a hard job trying to keep everyone happy,hopefully he can talk the lads round,cos it's the 1st time ever we have a good squad like this, where there's about 13 r 14 player who are good enough to get into the starting 11Quote:

Cheers for getting back maninthemiddleQuote:

lost 1-0 today to ucc.they scored with 2 mins.we were down to ten men after 10 mins.didnt help the cause at all.wasnt at game but heard they battled very well and deserved the draw
is that four in a row at home?.people talking up mayfield are either going on victory v avondale away or are mayfield people?...Dale ground it out today.everton no pushovers.maybe deserved the point but mark of champs to get the 1-0Quote:

Bit of a shock result today alright up in Mayfield. Massive game next week with Rockmount v Mayfield. Mayfield always seem to raise it against big(ger) teams. I fancy Midleton to win tomorrow morning. Only because they have to. They have been unlucky with alot of their losses to date although the same can be said for Leeds. Think I might pop down to it. I heard Everton deserved a draw today but saying that it was from an Everton man so not sure. I've seen Everton quite a bit this year and I have been very impressed by them. over and out for now, its late.Quote:

I agree mayfield have no chance of winning the league with 3 or 4 of their players only junior players,the rest only average senior players,brosnan up front should stick to the gaa,the fella they have on goal in the absence of albert is attrocious,i think they will finish 7th,avondale grinding out another 1 nil aswell,we are looking at the champions elect there i feel!Quote:

Thought the comment about Mary's being a poor side was harsh , Mary's fought for their win yesterday , if it comes to a scrap for survival between mayfield & marys I know who's side I'd prefer to be on . League starting to get interesting now
Mayfield made a huge mistake building themselves up after ONE GAME when they beat Avondale. I think they will still challenge but with the unrest up their at the moment it can't help. I think the title has to go to Rockmount and Avondale. The Intermediate Cup could take Avondales hunger from the league. I think Blarney have leap frogged Douglas as 3rd best team in league and I would not write off Everton being up there either. This league is so enjoyable because anybody can beat anyone else on the day. Mount for League and Avondale in with big chance of Intermediate cup.
Fermoy 5-0 bandon
One up after 18 Graham Byrnes, Gav Quirke after 30. Long delay after clash between their keeper and our striker same the keeper come off with damaged collar bone.
Scored 3 in last 15 mins, seanie mac, kaylin Kelly and Paul Whitmarsh.
That will scupper a few of ye in the predictions thread that bought into bandons good start.
Sparky I can tell you that the dale want the league this year. All the players feel that 3seasons without the league is to long for the club.. mount are going for3 in a row and the last time that happened dale went away and won 2in arow. The dale never prioritise the intermediate cup it just always seems to pan out that way. every year they want the league and everythin else is a bonus.Quote:

mayfield s problem i think and i live in the area is that they have the same or more or less the same manement set up far to long .time for a change. same applies to leeds.
That's a bit harsh shetland these two managers have been giving there free time year after year and to be competing in the top league with mostly local players is a credit to Taigh and Dec as these guys have brought players through the youths system they dont have the luxary to sign any player they want unlike Avondale and Rockmount I would love to see Billy Cronin or John Cauldfield manage a team where they could only play locals oh we did to an extent Caulfied with UCC who was restricted to UCC only players he didnt fair to well did he.
