Clon quite under strength today but very good from Grattan. Excellent tie to look forward to.
Clon were no more under strength than Grattan with all due respect.
From what I saw they travelled in strength, 17 players I saw togged out.
Grattan had 14.
The just were beaten by a team who were hurting from the last loss an wanted to prove a point. Looked more like themselves , and proved it.
Manager and squad deserve big respect.
Grattans squad, like everyone elses is only coming together due to holidays, shift work & the Gaa.
Brilliant ta see Harris come back today , Scoops makes a huge difference.
No hiding with the FAI app anymore , everyone can see what everyone has or hasnt , just incase they forget a letter ;)
The Aul rules can be cloudy, the MFA a bit clearer but the FAI is crystal. The ones with little black note books should remember that.
Best of luck to Village in the morning but I think Abadadadolougheford will be too strong for them .
Excellent away with for Castleview.
Springfield ,,,,,,,,,,,,wtf
But what the hell do I know.
I think we need union here in Aul I put up my post last night why knocka game was put back half hour cause. no one was appointed on app or manager was not on app look at Springfield app tonight no manager appointed why was game played if other games was played will we start committee think about it
Springfield just conceded 8 at home in the 1st game of the season ,,,,,,the app would be the least of there worries I'd say.
Couldn’t care if they conceded 20 Jason rules brokers according to Aul member Thursday night at knocka game so maybe we need Committee ourselves just my thought.
Now there's a great idea , maybe the clubs should be telling the league what to do an be really progresive.
Coachford running riot
Oh my God this game here down the glebe will end up a cricket score it's really men against boys gonna be a long second half for the village "Galactios" utd is the bubble about to bust
What’s the score lads
3 nil ht Luke Casey on score sheet
2 nil half time, murph got a 3rd on 56,,,,,, laughable defending,,,,,,I knew coachford would be fully stacked this morning, no gaa. Fair dues they are just doing what needs to be done . No Bunter for Village ,,,, look toothless up front an were bullied out the wings by Bradley an Co
Village missing Keegan and Bunter,,,,, massive loss against any team.
It's villages best front 5 an they havnt made a dent in Abadabadoloughford.
Not surprised , back line bar Geraty an Kinary are poor , full backs trying to withstand Casey an Cailan is a massive asking there not up to it .
Pat on the back for effort an attitude but a massive reality call , concentrate on the cups I'd say.
Finished 4 1
Village galacticos not up to scratch today and gave a bad showing of themselves and looks like the midfield is gone now so they will struggle after what looked like a nasty knee injury for pa long aswell as that stevo lad and then the very silly red card for the headbutt from that new signing zach
Down at the game and I thought it was going to be a lot closer but aghabolaghhhhgford were business as usual. Quality side do what needs to he done. Village after all their signings were back to them old selves. Discipline let's them down year after year and same again today. After all their signings i think it makes it extremely difficult for Lenny to pick a consistent 11 week in week out and trying to keep fellas happy will be near impossible. Mark my words there will be transfers out by the time window closes. Aghabolaghhhhgford league to lose
One thing I will say from standing behind the goal a coachford player did call a village player a knacker as we could clearly hear it from behind the goal so that captain did have a fair argument to the referee as nobody should be called that
A team vs a group of individuals, the team will always win, coachford and Grattan are the two best for a reason, consistency with the squad year in and out, How is dunlea supposed to know his best team when he hasn’t seen most of them play together ever
Magic , no one likes playing on that pitch an it has nothing to do with football.
There sideline and support is caustic and a certain few of there players really disappoint with certain comments, I won't even repeat as the word disgusted me in this day an age there's no call for it.
Tom Tully (RIP) or Chalky were the only ones who stood up to the bully boy supporters that turn up at there games.
This comment that was made is indemic of the culture down that way. What surprises me the most is that comment is thrown when as a club Coachford have had more northsiders than any club playing for them . There 1st league title was basically top heavy in Norries, so to throw that comment out sums them up.
Pity for such a decent side but no one is really surprised.
Coachford is a tough place to go same as O Neill Park for a reason. Theres a reason Grattan were only team to take points off them out there last year shows consistency year in year out from both clubs and the rivalry which is great to see being outside of a City Derby. As for the headbutt I read above whether you’re up or down that’s really leaving your team down. As for comments about the supporters etc. you have that kind of atmosphere in grounds here in the City too it’s the reason teams don’t like coming to certain places to play. Have no issue with it if I’m honest if anything it’s good to see support for clubs in AUL when they are home. As for the comments made during the game I was not there so I won’t have my opinions on it but just a personal opinion I might be completely wrong but that’s what this forum is for
I see shandon bounced back nicely from the Knocka game
Agree with you there mateQuote:

It wasn’t the same player . The full back was called a knacker . Village should have had a penalty early on . Coachford first goal was well offside. Coachford no question the better team . For some reason the ref had no interest in booking coachford players . Village had a good 20 minute spell in the second half. A long season there yet.Quote:

Ref was shocking also . Players couldn’t talk to him and he had smart answer .
A draw and a loss.. where does that leave them now do you think? I suppose Lenny doing best for team signing lads but u need lads to gel too going off comments above a lot of individual players for them. Hopefully can be pushed a side and get a result next game
Watched the goals the first goal was not “well” offside. It’s on their social media.
It might be slightly if at all but not well offside.
We are one week into the season now and all the big challengers to Coachford have all dropped points already.
It looks like it’s up to watergrasshill to chase them down
Feel sorry for Leonard as he has done a lot but that's the harshness at the top. They would have to win 11 of next 12 to win it. What a player Luke Casey is.
I seen the clip on facebook. It’s the play before that he is offQuote:

Your having a laugh son.
You think in all honesty the awe inspiring AUL will be able to juggle special treatment for Water"who"hill, UCC and Coachford and the other 5 will take it.
Goldfish an his little black book will have the Aul peppered with calls , not to mention the rest.
This season maybe more competitive but I can see it being a disaster with league games clashing with GAA games.
UCC,,,,,,,when is there 1st fixture,,,,September.
Lads it hasn't even been confirmed if its a normal 2 round season or a 3 round season . There only 8 teams premier,,,14 games ,,,,, get knocked out of the cups first round and ur done Xmas week ffs
Jason I get where your coming from, it’s 16 games not 14 based on leagues not idea if it’s 2/3 rounds tho. Is 16 enough or? Genuine Q? Without being funny.. you just don’t know what hill will give in premier. Could be great could be bad. I seen results today they won so I suppose they won’t have game another few weeks now.
It’s 2 rounds of games
Confirmed
Folks , sorry now buy there's only 8 teams in premier,,,,,so each team on a home and away basis can only play 14 games.
Prem A is worse .
They only have 7 teams , home and away 12 games
So sorry goal,,,,,,not doubting ya but someones dropped the ball big time if they think an entire league season will last 14 league games,,,,,,,those who do well , will play most weeks ,,,,,those who loose there way could fold by Xmas
There are 12 league matches in premier A
Hence the reason the Henry Healy is made up of 2 groups to guarantee teams that extra game or 2 through the season.
This is fact.
Whilst I agree with you that the little games is disappointing it happened last season also.
Clubs with just a 14 game season and they weren’t finished until mid June had they another round of games it would have been early July before they were finished
Are Bweeng in trouble?
Bad sign when they are looking for players on the opening weekend of the season
What’s harsh ? What’s the expectation? No came out of Village and said they’re going to be winning trophies. Village is a long term plan . People on about superstars there after signing. Who are these big players ye are on about . Village will tip away nicelyQuote:

The harshness is the ruthlessness of Coschford and Grattan in recent years and the little room for dropping points to win.
Superstars? In Junior football then Dean O'Connell, Jamie Murphy and Aaron Hennessey are seen as the Marquee signings with their records.
Tough week for them, things will improve, they will overpower many.
I don't see it being a long term plan with many lads old, it's now is the time, the clock catches everyone.
It was a 3 round season think it was 2-3 years ago and it was a disaster because a certain team going for league got most of the home games in the 3rd round of fixtures so In my opinion 2 rounds is enough it's not the aul fault if the clubs go out of local/fai n junior cups early is it really. And your spot on Mr Bourne ill b out with my black book each game and rightly so only looking after my own club we had great win yesterday against Springfield but we are not getting carried away just taking 1 game at a time I know it's a cliche in football but that's the we we operate up here as regards to village I do think people are getting carried away with all the signings they made people asking out they are gone be like man city and win everything to me personally they are gonna be more like an liverpool team promise the lot but faulter mid way through n might get an odd cup run but as someone said it's a long term project lose 1 more game and be no premier league tittle going village way and will all the galacticos stay just for cup run we wait and see
