The reason that there are no giant killers is that apart from 5 or 6 teams, the rest of the AUL is muck. Brutal pub sides that are not fit enough to last 90 mins with the top sides and who give up after an hour when 6nil down and beg the ref to blow it up early. This is happening every second week.Quote:

If the like of Grattan, Leeside and Kinsale are getting fed up with playing so many useless games (not as valuable as training in many cases) then they will have to look elsewhere for regular competitive games. The lack of competitive games for our top AUL teams will hurt us in the open rounds of the FAI and Munster Junior Cups.:ball:
We shant have any of that tom foolerie here(by christ therise you hit a raw nerve there).Therise we are a civilised thread here not like our limerick cousins who name call an get all hot an bothered.T'is not on this rile'in.:p
On a slighly lighter note therise though your comments were incorrect(but very funny)there was some truth in what you said.The top sides in the Premier through opinions from either themselves or others(us encluded) feel that they would be more than capeable of holding their own in the msl senior league.
To be beaten by a junior side from the msl when you have ideas about yourself ,no matter how great a run their on an no matter how many injuries you have has to go down as a shock result.
If Wilton beat us I wont make excuse's,I'll will be bitterly disapointed yes but just move on to the next game an chin up.No doubt if the unexpected happens to letizz and the kfc gang he will just say their are more important fish to fry and they were never gion to win the Fia junior anyway and look forward to next week.And he would be totally correct in his summing up of the situation.
We as a league/teams can only be considered above the rest if were are proving it year on year on a national or even munster scale,which we are not.None of us.I do belive we could compete with the msl senior sides but only at a local level,as soon as it goes nationwide we seem to lag behind.
Pike from limerick have had or will have to play Wembley , Carew and Fairview Utd just to reach the open rounds of the Mjc and Fai.All by the way would easily challange for the msl premier .If they do it then they have the right to say they have a chance to win either competion and be justified in saying so because they are not only beating their own to get to the open rounds.They are beating teams we would mostlike to avoid if in the open round draws if given the opertuinity.If we as the so called top sides as you say cant even get to the open draw who are we foolin.................
If as you say rebel any of our top side can throw out 11 players and get a result against another junior side then ye did'nt do it.The joys.The Wilton lads coming up to our place Saturday will not really care who plays as such because they will know that whatever 11 takes the field it will be a very strong side an they will have to be at their best to have a chance:ball:
Not correct on the Attitude down in Kinsale Littleman. No excuses this wknd. The FAI Junior is the one everyone wants to do well in. People may have one eye on the cup final on fri week but the management and senior players will soon put that right. This cup is what put you fellas on the map and put you ahead of Kinsale in many peoples eyes and that doesnt rest well with us. A bit of luck and Cork teams can do very well in this and why cant we win it?:eek: Yourselves got to the quarters last year.. we did it 4 years ago. Never gonna win it? Never gonna win it with an attitude like that.
The likes of Wembley/pike/carrick/fairview are all quality sides but as we have proven and yourselves have proven they can all be beaten on their day. Hopefully there'll be many of these days to come this year.
would ya listen to yourself littleman, and stop trying to put words in my mouth. Did i say we could beat any other junior sides?? No. I said we could beat all the other muck junior teams from the aul divisions. Big difference. Fact is DHall Premier Junior MSL would be in the top 3/4 of the aul every year. They've better players and train more often than most of the AUL prem teams. As Shilts so pertinently pointed out, a lack of any games of real intensity does not help the top aul sides when they play bettter opposition in the open rounds (including DHall)Quote:

I accept that perhaps it would be a shock result for grattan or particularly kinsale but not against any other aul team. Leeside have shown through the years that they can beat any aul teams on their day but lack consistency, therefore it could not be considered a shock result.
You may have your opinions Littlefella but thats all they are........dont try propagating them onto other people..........im still trying to figure out what u actually know about soccer apart from the secretarial duties..............some of your posts can be analytical and interesting...........others just leave me scratching my head......
ahh not again ,rebel im sorry if I ready our post up the wrong way.No disrespect meant. Bog will ya read it for what it is rather than draggin the anti kfc thing into it.
Thought that might hit a nerve alright. Apologies if i had the wrong side.Quote:

As for the weekend, Littleman, really looking forward to our visit to O'Neill Park.
With whom do you play therise?
rebel this is an open forum for those who have different opinions to voice those opinions and hopefully have them respected for what they are.
What or how I do anything for Grattan is neither here nor their and comes across as only a cheap throw away comment.Am I to feel guilty because we have a good side.Yourself,letizz bog or anyone else on this site could hold any position with your own clubs and it dosent effect my understanding of your posts.I offer all on this thread equal measure of respect and will only pass comment on what is posted by others..
I post my opinions here on Aul matters,all Aul matters.Within the confinds of that I pass on Grattan scores or get envolved in discussions as to who has better players /news/match reports ect,ect.I am open to all views form all clubs and as stated in the past Idont consider myself to have rosy glass's.Sometimes when it may be perceived that their may be comments of a negative nature towards a club is our answer to say an individual is lookin through rose tinted glass'es.Then rebel we are all guilty of that at some time.....................
You yourself clearly stated that the competition was not their for the top sides in the Aul and that would or could explain why they might leave.But if you were to go Msl you would go into the Msl 1st or 2nd division and then Doughlas would be another division beneath you(junior).It would still be contrived as a shock result,a hypothetical senior side beaten by a junior side.
Surely you must see my point that if we are truely to challange the Msl or at least think we as a league are improving we have to become the best at junior level first.Your point about being beatin by a top Msl junior side mearly widens the gap between us and the Msl senior because now we apperntly have to be better than their junior sides first before we can maybe hope to be able to hold our own in the MSL Senior.
I can understand your dissapointment at loosing but your club has done much to get to where it is and achiving what it has and by stating that Doughlas were on a roll simply seems as a fob off.Ye played us at the start of the season and probably ran us closer to a beatin than anyone in the league last year9except Park) if I was being perfectly honest.That is why I tipped ye to beat Doughlas hall.We beat them twice last year but at home I still fancied ye,thats why I would consider it a shock.
Lookin forward to havin ye thrise.O'Neill Park should be in top form and we are lookin forward to havin a ggod game from ye.Hopefully a cracker with us edgin it haha.After the game win,loose or draw we can head to the Anglers for a pint.
Ah I now realise therise plays with wilton. Carrigaline had a very off day the day you played against us. I would however say that wilton seemed to be a class above some of AUL premier teams i have played against which are quite poor. Corinthians have gone to the absolute dogs at all adult levels so I wouldn't read too much into anything playing them and i can't say much about ringmahon as i've never played the same ringmahon team twice in a row.
Like i've said before the top aul sides (grattan,kinsale, leeside, ballyphehane) are good sides but there is an awful lot of muck teams in the AUL and I think a lot of people judge the AUL as a whole on these teams.
P.S. What Shilts said about a lack of competition is in my opinion spot on.
Littleman i read it and re read it but all i did is correct you where you're wrong! We dont go in with the attitude that we were never going to win it- i would hope not anyway. Dont get shirty and bring the supposed anti kinsale thing in coz that was the last thing on my mind. I for one love the long away trips in the open round and especially the bus trip on the way home:D It's great to pit yourselves agains new faces.Quote:

I think u should be setting your sights higher than this- although i think i have shown myself to be a bit of a dreamer lads!!
Hi all, some heated debate going on here this week... I suppose the last few weeks were the calm before the storm :rolleyes:
I've played all my AUL career with Innish in the lower divisions and I have to say that I must disagree with the take up that outside the top 4 or 5 the AUL is muck poor... Fair enough this year there have been no upsets in the AOH or other cups but that happens every now and then.
I think it more highlights the absurd open draw from round 1 in the AOH. Before the open draw the top sides used to be meeting a team who really wanted a crack of them, having won a couple of games. Not meeting a team on a bad run of form or a team who aren't interested...
I know the top sides train and play hard, but there are a lot of lesser teams who just don't have the players to compete at that level but do train twice a week, show up early and prepared for games etc. When I started playing (way back when!!!) in the lower divisions if a team trained (properly) they would more then likely win the division with any decent side. Now to win any division or get promoted takes a huge effort. Don't get me wrong I've seen Kinsale train and the intensity there is massive. BUT please don't tar every team with the "AUL muck" brush...
Fair enuff innish but would i be right in saying that last year was the first year ye guys started to take things seriously. With Ger your training was good and ye had a big squad. To be fair urselves and postal were the only two who looked like getting promoted in the division? Can any team come along and get a decent manager for a year and look like getting promotion in the lower leagues?? Has it changed much from the old days when we both first started? I dont think so. Commitment is one thing - fair enough, nobody will ever be knocked for trying, but quality is another. And there does seem to be a lack of it in the lower leagues.. You guys brought in a few players last year and it helped your cause..
look lads, we've all played bad or with a bad team but i dont think slingin insults will change anything, there is a huge gap between about 10 teams from the prem & prem a and everybody else, this is why there is the same teams competing and winning every year and why some teams are looking to grow and move from the aul.
maymount got to the semi final of the munster junior last year (and went msl), kinsale, grattan, leeside, wilton all did well in the fai & aoh competitions, we had a great run in the senior cup the year before last, losing down in cobh, passage being beaten in last years final, but as a league of players we're still a bit off winning the fai in my opinion, yes we'll be very close on our day but to win the cup you need a decent slice of luck and everybody having a 110% day, then muliply that by 4 or more games and mistakes cannot be made without fellas going home disappointed, i feel that there isnt any team who can boast 16 players who can come & go without disturbing the team, one or two keys players make most teams tick, take them out and we dont stand a chance against the fai last four
dont get me wrong, i'm going out to win it as i am going out to win every game, i hate losing to anybody but there are some days when you have to hold your hands up and say you got beat by a better team, we left both big cups after us last year, conceding a last minute equaliser in the munster junior then going out on pens and coming from 3-0 down to go ahead in extra time only to lose it 10-9 on spotters in the fai
a good team will be there every year and will compete in all cups due to the divide amonst committment & ability, i think having the prem teams in the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd round of the aoh is outrageous (our draw is 1st rnd bt watergrasshill 7-0 60 mins, 2nd rnd away to hillington b, winners home to coachford b i think), there's enuf games to be played already, this causes the league to suffer later in the year when teams should be flying and not trying to make up numbers for midweek games or throwing 9 players on cause of injuries, i've said all this before anyway
littleman you havent had a pop at anyone inna while, spose it was a matter of time, and there's miles to go we havent gotten serious at all yet, spose sat's game is the start of it, should get interesting, good to see people are still looking in on the thread, good luck to both sides at o'neill park on sat, pity its not being televised (any live hook ups possible ??), tom murphy to be sent off the line ... ha ha, how's yer keeper disco ? could be the difference if ye have a good un, what about the hhulk of fergal murray, best pair of tits i ever seen on a man
innish the new setup might bring new talent but a good coach is all important, reckon we've a great combo this year with barry & ger so we're all confident, and we havent played to our full potential yet so there is gas in the tank, marys might get burnt on sat on a good surface, i noticed they are struggling in their league
we'll all be watching results as they pop up on the videprinter, good luck to all, ben ryan with a hat trick, the two dereks to do savage damage
OK Bog, I'll agree and disagree with you on this one:Quote:

Knockavilla and Dunbar (both now Prem A)
Ballypheane (Prem)
UCC (They had a very strong side that year)
Dripsey(Actually anyone know what happened to Dripsey they were flying for a while) & Lakewood (MSL)
So we would argue that it was a bloody tough division over the years.
I'll agree that Ger brought a huge amount to the club and with him we attracted a few players, Lyndon, Sean (Ger's son) and in my opinion the best player in the division last year Craig McCarthy. But I'd also wager that Ger would bring that similar boost to any club that has a group of decent players, I don't think it's a coincidence that Kinsale are looking stronger than ever this year after what was for them a dip in form last year...

Confidence is the key, I'd have to agree with you their Innish.3 seasons ago we got relegated from the Premier and had the most difficult season on an off the pitch I've ever come across.Caulfield did me a favour and took control of the first team for the last 5 games even though we were basically relegated he saw enough to see that with a few additions we could go places.How he raised those players from the dumps and got them to where they are today,how is beyond me.But whatever is his way it worked.
Last season I felt that the most important games would be the head to head with Kinsale.As long as we didnt give away points in those games was the key.Down the fort letizz's gang put it up to us big time but we got out of their with a draw and up at home we left a very impressive victory slip,even managers have their off days.Draws are fine against the sides that are challanging,your givin away nothing.What destroyed Kinsale last year was the draws against the lower teams that we were beating. This year it will be harder again because their seems to be no rhyme or reason to the way the results are coming in. Sides are taking good points one week and loosing bad points the next week.Park took a good point away from our place and I'm not goin to deny they deserved more on the day because they did.Probably the worst display from our own I'v seen.Me personlly I think loosing to Castleview in the Mossie an the Park draw was the best kick up the hole for us because we were takin for granted we would win games.You have to win games yourself,their no such thing as a dead cert in football.
Confidence is vital but it has to be the right kind of confidence.Confidence in your own ability and the ability of the players with you.Being overly confident will effect your game because it can blind you from respecting the opposition.Against the best sides it will loose you the game.We have learned already this season that in the league teams are goin up a level against us and if we are are to be successful this season we ourselves will have to step up another level again.
well said littleman! spot on with everything you said
last year was a kick in the hole for us an all so with the new coaching staff and a few players back things are def fresher this year
that aside, the prem could be the strongest its been in the past few years and there will be lots of competition for all of us, everyone wants a piece of the big teams, 1st goal is all important, nice to have some new teams up which gives everyone a bit of drive, its hard playing against the same teams and same players year in year out but its worse when you're being beaten by the same team year in year out, luckily we've been on the sunny side of that coin for the past few years, the draws against "poorer" teams did cost us last year, thats what you get when you're champs- everyone wants to take a bite, this is the year you need to show you werent just a flash in the pan grattan & ballyphehane and besta luck to ye, a wilton side steeped in history would also be good opposition for the prem teams, how're ye fixed this year for lastability disco / rise
there's a couple of coaching jobs going a begging littleman (fai & engerland) wonder could you take the winning attitude and sort out some of them lovely hairdressers who are part time footballers, i took great enjoyment in seeing a good footballing croatia run rings around a chronic engerland last night- is that wrong ?? you're not signing anymore ..... ha
might be on the wrong league thread here now but anyone know where Everton in cork's pitch is?

The under age teams play in Togher Community Field which is situated in Togher, across the road from the Deanrock Bar.
Ya Innish agree with every thing you said! But thats what i was getting at. One good season with a good manager and a few recruits will get u promoted.
Great games this weekend lads - best of luck to all. A good mixture of confidence/hunger will go a long way.
Keepin it real is what its all about in releation to what you can or maybe able to achive.If you went in to our dressing room and told the players they hav'nt a chance of winning the Fai or any other cup the first thing they would say is why not.I'd expect that answer from them because as a group one of their biggest strenghts is that they never give up and always belive they can get the result and without meaning to tempt fate they usually do.
To win any trophy or cup you need hard work,ability and a little sprinkling of luck along the way just to maybe win 1.We are involved in 5 so thats a lot of everything to be askin to go right.So thats why we are commited to doing our very best in everything and technically the skys the limit but realisticly to do what or near what we did last season with a cup to boot would be a better bet.
Being honest if we were to fail to reach the open round I think we all would be very dissapointed because I think our run last year really made the rest of the larger teams in Munster/Country especially sit up and take note of what the Cork Aul has in its ranks.I think its vital that this season we as a league have a team or teams that do as well as we did last year to continue our developement as a league.
.
We have to suffer the snobbery of the Msl more than most because we are surrounded on the northside by um an I must say I really enjoyed hamin the limelight last year when they all had to tip their hats to an Aul team.Their was a time when the Msl's finest would hope to draw the Auls representitive in the Munster senior cup but I think over the last few years that is no longer the case.Well done to those who are always trying to improve,keep it goin lads.
Best of luck to all the Wilton lads - the Rise et al - ahead of tomorrow's big game against Grattan.
Hope you win, but I suppose it is best to remember that your number one priority should always be to guarantee promotion to the top tier of the AUL - somewhere i think ye would do really well.
That's not to demean Grattan's achievements last year, and if you do win tomorrow game than best of luck to them or the rest of the competition. It would be nice to see aa Cork team win it!
VERY SPORTING DISCO, and the same to you as well.
Cheers discopants. Agreed the league has to be our priority, we want to be playing the top sides week in week out.Quote:

Training has been a lot more intense this year with good turnouts thanks to rocksy so hopefully come the end of season we'll reap the benefits.
Littleman ,heres to a good game, pity one of us has to go out before the open draw.
Lads, if anyone gets a score from the Wilton/Grattan game, would they mind posting it up please.
Any info on goalscorers, how the game went etc. would also be appreciated.
Nice One.
Grattan won 1-0 Kevin Goldsmith scored around the 65th minute.Tough game for Grattan,Wilton realy put it up to them,altough Grattan were never realy threatened.After Grattan took the lead they could have gone on to get another 2 only for poor finishing.4th round next bring on Park
Nice one,
What players stood out for Wilton? Did they actually have many chances in the game?
Anyhow, hard luck Wilton, and as i said the other day, maybe it's a blessing in disguise as you can now concentrate fully on getting out of the Premier A.
Thought next sunday's games were called off?
Fixtures made out even though it was advertised the weeke before that no games would be played on the sunday?
Didn't really have anything other than a half chance in the first half. A few good moves with no end product. Really scrappy goal given away although must say Grattan created the few chances in the game. Alberto made 2 fine saves. One in the first half and one near the end when we were chasing the game. Paul did well in the centre wih bucks.Quote:

Littleman, deserved victory and best of luck in the rest of the competition. Any scope for widening the pitch with the upcoming developments? Although then again it could be a major advantage if ye get to the latter stages of the competiton and hopefully ye will.
So back to priority of getting promoted.
Thanks Rise and hard luck yesterday.
It was more of a waltz than a disco,sorry for the pun Disco but I could'nt resist.
Na to be honest I was expecting a belter of a game but it never developed into or even came near it.This was a very good win for the Gratts who put in a very professional display if its ok to put it that way.Sometimes you can win a game 1 nil but still be comfortable the whole way through.This was one of those .For all the times Wilton have watched us play this season they never really posed any problems to our formation.We are quite happy to sit back in the first half of a game an let teams play and catch them on the break especially if your not quiet sure what their goin to bring to a game but Wilton never really caused any problems.
Played lovely football at times but never really mounted a serious attack which resulted in a shot or something at least.Dont get me wrong it was a good game just not the one I was expecting.Would have no problem with having Wilton in the Premier proper because they would bring a lot of experience and youth judging by their bench.
Your right back was a nice player and so to your left midfielder(he just took to much out of the ball time an again) and Guiltanin an Buckley showed touchs of class through out.We should have had 2 in the first half but Fleming had his shot inside the 6 yard box saved superbly by the keeper an Brian O'Sullivan put a free header wide from inside the 6 yard bax as well.The second half was all us with in fairness a man of the match display buy your keeper who looked simply a different class plus a little wayward finishing an fallin over hahaha kept the scoreline respectable.
Good all round display by Wilton but we just seemed to have a bit more in all areas and were able to make the changes from the bench that will hurt teams rather than filling in the gaps.
I dont know about the comment on the pitch THERISE,we played a Mossie an a Aoh semi on it last year and everyone was happy with it and even more importantly the quater final of the Fai junior cup(which states the pitch has to have dimensions greater than 100 *70,ours is 107 *78 by the way)and that was checked by the Fai Junior Board prior to that game.We play 5 in midfield and that may have closed down the space that you are accustomed to normally having as a winger an they are extremely good at closing down space so its not a wingers paradise,especially against a team like ours.
Over all Disco Wilton showed a lot of promise and would be a welcome addition to the premier.
Another 3 points for Glenthorn and a good win for Rebel an Co.
Le tizz what happened.I was speaking to some lads from Marys B an they said they could have leveled even maybe have won it if they had taken their chances.I was expectin a big victory what happened.
Bella whats the story I thought ye would have the beatins of Everton too.............
Anyone know why the FAI Junior cup game between Castleview and Richmond had no extra time played ?
Eff 'in Ref's...........The ref who ever it was ,was not aware of the fact that the game was to finish on the day.Despite the fact that it has been the same for every competition this season.The game has to be replayed,with Castleview having home advantage again by the way because in the eye's of the law the game was never finished properly,ie 90mins plus extra time and peno's if needed.Sorry for the delay lads in gettin back.
Letizz still no answer to the weekends near call,,,,,,,,,,
Bella,Rebel,Bog an all we seem to be falling way down the peckin order lads.:confused:
Sorry gents! Busy busy busy this week! All a little excited now with the final approaching. Last weekends game was perhaps the perfect preparation for it. 'One of those games' u see! We started with a very strong team and the first half was a cake walk. The amazing thing was we were only 2 nil up! Should of been way more - ballyvolane b put it up to us more in the first half the previous week. Perhaps fellas were thinking it was only a matter of time before the floodgates opened... but we got complacent. second half was poor but the manager made a few changes and we shored things up for the final few minutes. It was an eye opener certainly and we wont be able to afford to relax in the same manner on friday night. Mary's could of taken their chances and scrope a draw out of it but that would of been a very lucky draw. Massive competition for places down here with fellas dying to get some game time on friday night. Cant wait now! See what the new dressing rooms are like at the cross:D
Good win at the weekend littleman - sounds like even though it was only one goal ye were in control. Glenthorn got a nice bit of coverage in the star yesterday... anyone see it?? Its great getting a bit of coverage in a national daily newspaper. Makes a change from the usual limerick tipp and waterford sides - although they still made an appearance!:p Leeside registered their first league win... kanturk looking in trouble all ready??
Will ye be heading to the cross on friday nite lads? The more the merrier - should be a belter of a game! Looking forward to see billy's pre match comments tonight!
Predictions??
Players to watch??
2006/07
Keep records of Junior/Intermediate leagues. Need to update Cork AUL. Who were 2006/07 Champions/Runners up ? Did Kinsale do 5 in a row ?
:DIf I answer this will it be akin to gloating.
If I ask letizz to answer it will it be akin to rubbin it in
If I ask you Rebel to answer it that might be akin to bein smug so
:D
I'll ask Innish to answer it an we can all be happy hahahahah:D

Does that cover the everything???
Oh yes the big news story of the year was Innishvilla's historic promotion to Division 1 after 10 long years of trying...
