Also the referee today was an absolute joke. Telling players to f**k off when they questioned his awful decisions. No where near the standards needed to ref them games.

good win for leeside against kinsale was it deserved any reports?
I was down there today. My first time seeing either team since they left the aul. Would have seen a lot of both over the last few years. Firstly it is clear both teams are rebuilding, i only recognized two players from Kinsale and four from Leeside so radically different teams.
In terms of the game it was well deserved for Leeside. Kinsale keeper made a few great saves. The first Leeside goal was as good a team goal as i've seen, started in the left back position, about 15 passes later the right winger pulled a ball back to Ricky Gettings for a great finish. Leeside definitely trying to play ball and look like they have a specific approach to the game.
Kinsale i am less sure about, seemed a bit aimless to me. Lots of young players which is good for the club but they are probably a few years from getting back to where they were.
Leeside probably too dependant on Gettings in attack given some of the players who have left. From what i hear a few have dropped to junior side
College Corinthians fully deserved their 1 nil victory in midleton tonight. The first half was a pretty even affair not the greatest football spectacle but midleton had the better chances and probably should have went in at the break 1 nil up.
The second half was a different game with college dominating possession and playing the better football of the two team. They scored after 20 minutes and deserved it on the run of play. They had another guilt edge chance with 15 minutes to go it seemed easier for the striker to score than miss! Only he could explain it. To midleton credit they battled hard till the end with the Corinthians keeper making one fine save to keep them 1 nil ahead.
Corinthians were good value for their win, a good young side that try to play football the right way. Midleton are tough and dogged side and will be definitely hard to beat at home. They had a few injuries and their main striker suspended for this match so they can ate heart from the performance.
Avondale next week in the league at home so another tough game for midleton next Friday night
Was at the leeside and kinsale game today as well apart from gettings goal and his performance the game was brutal two falling giants is all i seen.
Take gettings out of the game today and the two teams would,nt have looked out of place in the night owls very poor fair.
Boo from what i have seen of both ye and wilton if the club have a few pound to spare send the keeper for physio on his back during the week because he could be bending it alot next weekend :D
went to both games in east cork last nite, and to be honest there was no difference between the two divisions although one of them was a cup. Standard was pretty poor in both games. leeside deserved their victory. Think we will see a different midleton attitude next week against avondale. Was like they had no interest in being there last nite.
Ucc 1-2 Fermoy.
We went off like a train and were 2-0 in first 10/15 mins. We carried it on for the rest of the half and may have got more, but also had a few moments at the back with Mick saving once or twice. Very good college side got going in the sec half and put us under cosh. They got one back 25 from the end but we battled hard and came away with a very good three points away from home.
Phew!
Do you know who got the three goals in the game?
Mayfield 2-1 Mary's as well today apparently.
Surprised if Ringmahon have changed, heard the Carrig one is true all right but mayb the lads will be back again I heard today. It's getting harder and harder to commit so much time to a team. A huge effort from all involved and I can fully understand lads stepping aside.
Carrigaline are celebrating 40 years in the game this week. A.
Apparently they marked the occasion last week by turning up for their game with no goalkeeper, no water, no footballs and[U]no manager[U].
Quite extraordinary! Assuming all the above is true - and I have no reason to doubt it - it is a complete dereliction of duty to their own players and a discourtesy to the MFA and to the opposition. I doubt, therefore, if the lads will be back.
It seems that there has been no organised training for the last fortnight or so and the whole thing is in limbo. I'm told that there were plenty signs visible right through last season but that reasonable results papered over the cracks. Failure to act over the summer. means that an entire season has gone by the wayside.
Great pity to see this happening to such a normally progressive club.
I posted on this some weeks ago and was politely contradicted by Footiefanatic. Maybe now he'll concede that ol' Jim was right after all - though I get no pleasure from this one!
PS. Looks like I might have been right about Everton too!
our lads played carrigaline last week in a cup game,yes they had no keeper the guy jones played in goal,and ken dennenhy wasn't there so no manager,i don't know if they had balls or water
our lads had a good win today over marys,dave warren (overhead kick) and jamie murphy (free kick) got mayfield's goals today
Yes. He is Graham's older brother.
Thats sounds like David alright. Great skill & pace but not always an end product.
Keane cup Result:Rockmount 3-0 Douglas Hall
Sorry for the delay in getting back. Problems with computer. Passion on and off the field ??? Where and when was this. Dave played well alright and Gary Coughlan took his goal well but passion !!!!! Not sure on that one. Probably the poorest Mount / Saints games in years. Good win for Marys.
Rockmount management got it seriously wrong on the day,fair enough it was a cup that neither side will win but a derby is a derby and there would be something seriously wrong with a player if he didnt want to be in the first 11,giddy and cambridge and o connor left on the line all and were introduced late on and it was clear to see rockmount were the better team then but the damage had already been done
Saw the hall vs rockmount Tuesday Douglas are a very poor side I'm tipping them for relegation.ive seen all bar the Avondale game this year of Douglas hall and there a poor side I think moorsey just hasn't got the players to b honest.rockmount were rockmount nothing spectacular just efficient
any result from dale and midleton game??
3-1 avondale comfortable win.
Really disappointed with Midelton .Taught they would have put up a bit more of a fight but they were blown away from the first minute by a very strong looking Avondale team
Not sure if it was Avondale on fire or Midleton below par but it really was a stroll in the park for Avondale. Avondale played some top football in first half especially. Very impressive. Midleton huffed and puffed in second half but nothing to exactly report regarding chances. I heard Midleton were a force to be reckoned with this year but on this showing I have to question my informers :-).................good entertaining game all the same.
While Avondale were'nt at the full flow tonight they were still very good and with too much quality all over the pitch. midleton just were not able to hold on to the ball long enough to ever put Avondale under sustained pressure. what did people really expect tonight Avondale are a class outfit with quality player all over the park. Look at midleton best player for the last two years only on the bench that say's it all and just shows the gulf in quality between Avondale and a lot of teams in the msl.
I have seen every team in the league this season and the way Avondale can pass the ball around is great to watch. no disrespect to the other teams but they aren't in the same class as Avondale . But there isn't a whole lot between all the other teams in the league and I'm including rock mount in that. still not a bad start for midleton they probably would have taken 7pts from 4 games played.
Agree with Freddies comments, very accurate account of the game. Midleton had no clear cut chances, and goal was a good finish from break away move! Avondale always had another gear if needed! Chubbs on the bench is a luxury no other side can afford even if he is just back from being away. Relating to Sparkies comment, for me, Midleton where below par, change of formation to 3 5 2 as players away, 3 hard playing centre backs, with unnatural wingbacks playing, found it hard to play the ball out from the back. Went long a lot due to this and found it very hard to hold it up as overpowered by Avondales centre- halfs. Needed a big man who was unavailable that night. Thus legs went trying to close the gap between up top and midlfield! Work- rate was good. On a quality surface tho (if not any) Avondale will have better passing and movement than any other team in the league, if you have a different opinion fair enough, but just be aware your opinion is wrong. Are Avondale the best amateur team in Ireland?? Yes?? You where buying money if you got them at 4/9 really. Still think there is a lot more to come from Midleton however, good management in place and good team moral from what I can see. It's still early days and building blocks are only being laid. Will they go down? No! Will they threaten to win the league? No! Mid table finish is all that can be expected.
avondale totally outplayed midleton, first time seeing midleton this year and from reading older posts expected more, seems to me its an easy out to say avondale are fantastic and cant be stopped!! is the game lost before a ball is kicked??
mr reliable never read so much crap after been beaten by corinthians last week no posts from anyone from midleton,the week before ye beat everton and ye nearly crashed the site there was so many of ye on and this week put in yere place by avondale and excuses excuses excuses missing this player couldnt play from the back what a load of bull.
go back to last week post bullet and you will see a fair post on the midleton game v corinithian again making no excuses beaten by a better team on the night .
even though midleton were missing a few defenders last night that really would'nt have made any difference to the result avondale were just the better team on the night. avondale would want to have a off night and midleton would have to be on top form for them to have any chance. that's just being realistic, the level that avondale play at is just higher tempo and skill than a lot of teams in cork or the whole country. as a previous post stated will midleton win a league or compete for top three probably not, but will they compete with a lot of team's in the top division yes.
the senior premier league has a lot of team's on par with each other and one outstanding team in avondale. thats just fact....
Hi lads, intersting rumours going around about the ringmahon senior team appartently only 6 training both night this week.is this a sinking ship to div 2.it would be a real shame on that club..On the other hand apparently malcom stoke has been apporached for this position.he would be a good choice to get best out of players..just to add to the 6 training this is because of injuries suppose to be missing 6/7 due to injury.havent seen them since the carrigaline game who are also in a bit of bother could barry mcgovern be about to take that job :hat:
Leeside 3 - Wilton 2 (1 o.g. a piece) and Leeside snatched goal in last minute. Game could have went either way to be fair.
midleton here lads ..... agree with comments about game last night v avondale ....avondale were different class last night and no team would have beaten them on that performance last night . from our point of view 7 points from 4 games is good start for us with basically new team .Would not fault our team effort and workrate. intermediate cup action next week v blarney after 2 defeats need to get that win quickly ........
no excuses from me by the way :-)
UCC lead Mary's 4-0 when I left this afternoon.
Beat cobh today one nil .great battling win after the week we had.
