Probably the start of a huge trophy haul for d dale
With a squad strength/depth of a Prem division LOI club it would be a surprise if they didn't sweep all before them. Any one of their 19/20 would be the one of the best men in almost every other club in our league.
Fair play to them.
Surprisingly, Avondale didnt make a change until 5 mins to go in extra time when Roy Long and John Cotter came on. Roy Long took his goal well and should have been on the pitch a lot earlier as UCC were quite comfortable at the back. No 10, Josh I think for UCC was very lively up front for them. It's good that they won the cup but they'll have to improve if they want to win the league and intermediate cup. Last 2 performances have been poor even though they won both.
any one of their 19-20 would be the best player in any othere club,stop the lights for god sake man,4or 5 of them yes but not the whole lot of them,go back to the clubs each and every one of them came from and i bet most of them were not the star men,stupid statementQuote:

We've played em three times this season, each time the line up has had about 5 changes and it mattered not a jot. The bench is frightening. Ya reckon Chubbs would be on any other teams bench? Get real pal.
It is also probably the hardest team to manage out there as there is so much talent. I tip my hat to JC cos he seems to get the balance right week in week out.
Edit I read down further and see ya insulting JC now as well. So utterly childish. A name slinger on the Internet. Wow.
Agree entirely. Each team must go with what it has to work with. At the moment Dale are the best out there by a mile. What happens in the future will happen but they will still be there.Quote:

It's John Cotter. Think you misspelled his name. Good input though.Quote:

Too be fair I think I think it says more about how poor or unstable set ups are at other clubs.most Avondale lads played with local senior teams before joining them.Karl Caulfield school boys Killreen played senior with Casement and I think was up at Everton a little while too and ended up at Avondale.Marky from Passage.Roy was Everton and played every level inc Senior.Danny Killreen and Everton too.when talking too all these players there reasons are the same.Avondale play football the right way.the training is outstanding also according too them with 20 body's there all the time.People can argue players like Roy should not be sitting on the bench but then again he'll sit there for two years and prob win every honor out their at least once so you can also argue as too whats wrong with that in a team sport?Quote:

As or very own icon Roy Keane once said,"I never won the champions league" because he was suspended for the final,sitting on the bench,the medals wudnt mean anything to me anyway,i dont know how the rest of you would feel about it! I could name people who have intermediate cup medals and theyre not even senior players!Quote:

I personally wouldn't but maybe Roy wanted to test himself and his brother is there. I'm picking Roy out here because I'm assuming this is the player you are discussing. Avondale play so many games a year that players play a lot more games than you think. It's just the big games is what people remember who didn't playQuote:

Douglas hall down to us tomorrow in Carrig Park. hell of a game, fingers crossed we come out on top.
That's a huge win for mayfield , it's getting very tight down the bottom!!!
ya great result for our lads,for once they got a bit of luck.to be fair it was a poor enough game our lads player alright and mary had a poor game.1 up at half time marys level with about 10 minutes to go,the lads won it in injury time with a free kick that clipped the guy on the end of the wall taking the ball right into the top corner.
Who cares how the results come, when your down at the bottom it's not about winning pretty !!!
Game off Fermoy vs Hall.
I think it's time to switch all the leagues to summer leagues, the amount of games being called off is getting ridiculous!
