Is there a new manager this year or is it still the manager from last year who played players on reputation
Are you sure sharpshooter ??? Wat about the big lad on goal for park he's a solid keeper,spingfields keeper Brendan another good goalkeeper also pearses Hainzy.im not so sure about crow being the best but he is good :)
New manager ex leeds manager I think I'd like to see a big training panel enough for 2 squads . I'd like to see Ger Rice Shane o Sullivan Mark Murphy Jack Walsh from Innishvilla also Robbie Walsh John Mulligan and brian mcswenny from knockavilla given a look at
best goal keeper in aul brendon long,,,,bit of youth be nice..vincent-vinny-loneigan good enough new at the glen.and mark nolan is a cert.dean kelly the hall....he has lots to look at .get the balance,,forget the reps.....and the presents.Quote:

Good to see the debate about the AUL team has started back up. It causes mixed opinions every year. The new manager needs to have a strong back 4 with a good keeper behind them. They let in 4 goals up in Tipp + 2 goals in the cross. Its not good enough. There are decent players out there but Cork wont win it for a while. Tipp, Dublin + Limerick are too strong. Best the AUL can hope for is quarter final. Sure they were haunted the year they won it. Even the lads themselves said that
I see a lot of the games and no a lot of the players and yes pa long is a very good player k always thought a lot of him when he was with castleview seniors, but y has pa joined the glen b? I would certainly bring along Ryan o shea as I said on this before he's finishes against Kilreen the other day wer exceptional and showed great awareness to we're his strike partner was.joycey is another good player but I'd fancy taken loyd Dorgan his team mate ahead of him very pacey and direct.john Corcoran has to be a shoe in for the squadQuote:

Is that the mental attitude for a cold and wet Thursday in Tipp against Irish internationals?
Is that Shazzer banging in goals for Pearse? He is banging in goals since he was 12! He is only 19 Id say.
A lot of good players from the AUL gone senior with the 3 clubs and with other clubs. A few gone MJL too.
I saw lots of games in the winning Oscar Traynor run - lucky on occassions yes but you cant win the whole competition on luck alone. They were dominant in the Final - way better side.
lol i heard the present of the babygro didnt even fit lol what a joke.Quote:

Edwin Buckley a must surely???
Kieran Joyce a fine player, Lloyd Dorgan quicker and more direct but Joycey an extremely hard worker, just two of many fine players with Killumney. Don Forde, Mark Buckley, Calla and Kearney all should be in the initial call ups imo. too.Quote:

Should be a clean slate for squad a trial game maybe some very good players around both leagues prem and prem a last years team didn't get up to much I believe , correct me if Im wrong , as for lower league player a club should make a case for a player if he's good enough as there maybe legitimate reasons as to why he dosent play premier such as work etc
you are right on all counts..try some youth and let the back room boys get out the old notes of who could have made it and see.also lynch got left out last year did he ???if so golden boot .. call up ..prem title some egg on face there..packet of baby whipes for some one or 2 lol .Quote:

Niall did pick good players on the panel but it was team selection on the day that cost them. Players were asked to play in positions they weren't playing for their clubs + there was no plan B. Just my opinion.
People comment on here but do they even know what's going on in the league? Darren was on the panel last year. Was at every training + started up in Tipp in the last game.Quote:

There are alot of players that are extremely loyal at their club who won't move up divisions but are definately good enough for it. No harm in checking out a game or two at lower levels!Quote:

From personal experience, step one is guys realising what the honour is and wanting to play for the AUL. Suppose same can be said of Traps team.
You wouldnt believe how many guys who didnt get a call.............."didnt want to play with them anyway!!" - whoever is playing, whoever is managing..................its not them its US! We play in the Cork AUL.
My involvement in the set-up was unsuccessful, but what an honour. It hurts like any unsuccessful thing does.
Im a fan of AUL team 2012-2013 already, even though I dont know who is on it. I may moan and groan abut the selection but that football. I will still want them to win.
thats why there was a ???????????? wasnt sure i wasnt looking to aul then ..now i am .im going on hearsay on this one but wer guys played out of place because of favour??? .i dont think this new guy will take crap and he will do it his way.Quote:

As far as checking out games, it is hard with so many leagues + games. If a manager feels strongly enough about a player, he could just ring the cork manager. I'm sure he would be happy to leave him train for a night or two + take it from there then.Quote:

People cant moan about favours or players being picked for whatever reason. He will have his own ideas + players in mind. Be interesting to see squad considering most have only played Mossie which is used as pre season by most.Quote:

Best of luck to him and his team.
well if he looks at footie horse24 has sent a msg get guys that have guts..that can play.and yes there are great players in all the divs.im betting this is a good year.if going on mossi there.s goals all over the place..do that mean bad defenders?he has to take into account last season.Quote:

He's one of the most honest and approachable managers I've worked with and will give everyone a fair crack. I've heard he's been at games from 3rd division to Prem already this year. Great appointment in my opinion, and long over due too!
