It may come down to forcing teams to merge because no guy wants to be the guy who turned out the lights on 20/30 or evn 40 years of a club...and rightly so.
Underage is the way to go, but starting at Under 5, not U18. ballyvolane brought in a Youths side but were gone 3 years later.
Monsoon from 8am for two days.................but the lady on RTE said it was positive cos its gonna be warm rain!!
Building for the future 1for? The main problem I see with this is most seasons players swap clubs wholesale up the northside. Not just in the AUL but MSL also. No loyalty there.
Ya that's what I'm saying. It's impossible to build for the future without a strong underage section. That way it may be possible to get some loyalty outta players. Blarney St will no doubt pull aload of players in next season but for how long? When I played you bust your gut to get into a team. Now however players just change clubs.
cant stop a person making friends kid or a manager trusting players he knows and trust there.s always one or 2 .players respond to guys they like to play for simple.Quote:

loyaltys in football and success dont mix im not one for puting a guy in the team just because he,s there every week pays script every week and cant kick a ball you know the type.dont get me wrong fellas must pay but some guys with 2 left legs think because they have ther in.Quote:

That's a shock old legs. I know Kilreen are a quality outfit but Douglas Hall very solid at home. They seem to be slipping of late though. Alot of rain due tomorrow. Hopefully wont come til the afternoon so we get a few games on
I know what you're saying 1f but personally if a player was that bad I wouldn't sign him or take his insurance or script. Wouldn't be fair on him. But I disagree on loyalty. No club can survive without good clubmen and committees. Just an example off the top of my head. Grattan looked like they were in serious trouble. Most clubs would have folded in their situation, losing so many players etc, but I know they have some very loyal men behind them. That and players staying loyal to their club help build success. It's very easy to get 11-16 great players in for a year or so and win trophies but what happens when these players, who have no loyalty for the club, decide to go elsewhere???
imo thats not harsh at all no point in making a fool of a lad either and i agre no one man bigger than the club he is with .i know a player who would walk in to any team in cork is first up with script..lines the pitch and hangs nets thats the kind of lad you want in your club no premadonna ther.Quote:

It's a pity that clubs try to chase the "quick fix" method for a season and then fall apart when someone who brings in 4/5/6 players gets a better offer and all head for pastures new! That's why I said as far as I'm concerned "loyalty" is a big thing! I do believe that it's time both the Cork AUL and MSL merge and create a real force here. There is certainly the talent from what I've seen the past few seasons. Like my name says its "just my opinion"!
That's very harsh RedandWhite from what I've seen of Blarney Street since his taken them over they are playing better nice movement and faster pace they are short a few players but with a few signings he will have a fine team. Bit mean to speak of ego's etc etc genuine football man in my view yes of course his going to look after his own interest's isn't that what we'd all do. You think that no other manager that has left a club and went to another doesn't bring in some of his own players . I say all the best to Blarney and 1for be great for the game if he can put the squad he wants together .
grattan is a club i watched a lot bud in fact im related to the pop and my dad was a founding member .and just to let people know this and my last job is not a 1 man show i draw on people when i manage so not much of an ego to satisfy .but i do want and like a nice footballing team that will be respected and contend.Quote:
