Crazy refereeing alright for one decision. When Ucc were two up, ball hit the back stantion and came back into play and was tapped into an empty net. Mayfield stopped playing then and decided to badger the ref for the rest of the game. Mayfield were missing quite a few players so probably not a fair reflection on their team
St Mary's 0-1 Fermoy
I was at the hall game Friday night and thought the ref was very good don't know we're that came fromQuote:

As for Rockmount they spent more time bitching at eachother and the ref then anything else. There very solid at the back and are hard to break down plus they have 2 solid keepers to choose from. Hoey was excellent but let himself down again with a horrible tackle at the end which he got a red card for. Rockmount were over run in the middle of the park and rely on cambridge and alan o connor's pace big time when going forward. Giddy up top tries hard and is an excellent player who conducts himself well on the pitch. No complaints here for Rockmount, Corinthians were simply the better team.
Was at this game as well... UCC were able to just run through the Mayfield defence and the UCC keeper barely had to make a save. That said the third goal shouldn't have stood and thereafter Mayfield got about 7 or 8 bookings. Warren, Murphy and O'Shea missing for Mayfield. Josh O'Shea, Steve Mahon, Simon Holland, Eoin Kilcommons (3) and Cathla Lordan with UCC goals. I wonder when was the last time UCC had such a big victory in the Premier division, if ever?!Quote:

Another tough battle today away at Mary's and delighted to report that a Kurt Wheeler screamer about 15 into the second half was the difference between the sides. Good hard game where we stood up to an early onslaught of pressure and eventually started playing our own ball which should have seen us sneak one before halftime after a scramble in the box.
Second half saw us score and then defend it well til the end. Another vital three point in a day of mental scorelines.
Roll on next Sunday morning and welcoming the Magpies to Carrig park.
Brian Murphy was nominated for intermediate player of the year. Fair play to him
I think he was nominated for it.Quote:

Maybe da Rockmount game came at da right time for us next Fri nite just go out and play with nothin to lose
Casement 1 Crosshaven 2 in Div 2. Nobody seems to want to win that league. All teams taking points off each other with Wilton the only exception.
Don't worry, he's been infracted
Just after hearing Danny and Roy long gone from Avondale the first week of the transfer window Corinthians for both players.surely Corinthians are serious title contenders if them transfers go through.
Wow that would be serious movement tricksey,is much truth behind it!!Quote:

Corinthians only going improve.picking up big wins and points in games where they normally struggle.theyll be top 2,no doubt
Some of the Dale lads not getting games would, you assume, be getting restless, but the rotation there is good and seems to keep them all hungry. Incredible management to be fair thus far. Hats off to all concerned, but only natural that rumours will crop up as there are lads there that would walk into any other team.
Thats a bold statement "Corinthians wont be up there at the end of the season". Whats it based on? Im curious. Is it based on away form? Win away at The Hall scoring 4, At Marys scoring 5 and a great 1 nil up in Whitechurch. Maybe its based on cup form, is it? They won 2 cups last season and are in the Semi Final of the Keane cup and the next round of the Intermediate cup. Oh no, its the home form. Thats right, they have dropped 2 points at home !Quote:

I think Avondale a superb outfit with quality all over the park and have no qualms in saying it. I know one thing for sure, the games between Dale and Corinthians could have a lot to say about where the title ends up this season. Lets just wait and see in May if Corinthians "will be up there" as you put it !
And on the matter of why anyone would leave any club. Football is cyclical there was a time when Corinthians and Dale for that matter were not even in the Premier. I remember when Cotts, Hargy, Damo and the like signed for Avondale. Why would ex league of Ireland players sign for a 1st division side? Progress, thats why. Maybe, and im not saying they are gonna go to Castletreasure, players like the way Corinthians are moving forward, back to where they should be. Maybe its the facilities, maybe its a difference in opionion with management. Lots of reasons guys move from club to club and at this point players with Corinthians are still in the hat for the Intermediate and top of the MSL and in a Keane cup semi final.
I went to Blarney v Leeds on saturday. Leeds full deserved their win from what I saw, missed a peno too they did.
Blarney could have snatched a draw at the death when great free kick from Ray O'Leary was headed onto the post.
Leeds well on top though and missed a lot of chances, Blarney's keeper was excellent too. As well as saving the penalty he made another few great saves and looked v assured. I dont know will either of these teams be winning this league, neither looked like world beaters.
I have seen College Cors once this season and looked excellent, is there some Cork City lads up there as well ? Are these lads there until the end of the season of can they be recalled ? Be only concern I'd have, hard to see beyond Avondale to winning the league but College Cors looks the best of the rest right nowQuote:

Corinthians have definitely added an element of steel and ruthlessness to their team this season which for me is a big difference on last season. Avondale retain that ability to step up the gears when needed and the depth of the squad is fantastic with quality just about everywhere. Operating on all fronts in all competitions is a big ask for an amateur team and I think this might be the area were Corinthians might find tough. Like I've said in previous posts I don't think titles are won or lost in the head to heads its winning the sticky games. Avondale had a sticky one against Marys at the start of the season as did Corinthains with Everton at home. I think who ever can limit these lapses whilst still operating on all fronts (Keane Cup, Intermediate Cup, Munster senior) will come out on top. I think Avondales experience might prove to be the deciding factor in the end but no one can doubt the progress this season with Corinthians the question is it a year too soon???
I don't no is it a year to soon for Corinthians or not but if the can hold onto Luke Connelly as long as possible before the gaa season starts that's a big positive + if the two dale lads come on board in December it will obviously give cors a boostQuote:

Surely not chief ? That would be a joke of a rule.Quote:

i bet Everton can't wait for the league game v Avondale this weekend. Good luck with that one
you deleted a post that i put up over the weekend that i thought was fair and to the point,i did not use the wrong typing or verbally abuse anyone, why was this? i thought this was a forum where we could express our opinion..obviously i was wrong.Quote:
