And Killumney battering supposedly the best the MJL has to offer.
Surprised them big time owl even though we had the bare bones the lads gave everything. Still feel we would have beaten them if the match was in the faira.Quote:

In the MJL they've a Premier team and a Douglas Hall Ath in the First division, I can't see the AUL Premier A team being their third string junior side???
It was'nt a battering, 1st half even enough although Hall had 2 great chances, 2 bad defensive mistakes early in the 2nd half put kilumney in driving seat, Hall player getting sent off didnt help they're cause and last min pen to round things off for kilumney.
Sorry Innish, meant to give ye guys and Richmind a mention aswell .Well done. I would consider Douglas Halls AUL side their top junior side, im open to suggestions otherwise. Yea your right about Corinthians, they won the league last year.
Game of opinions I suppose. Douglas had 1 chance in 1st half when centre forward latched on to a defensive mistake. As much as douglas were better they didnt really trouble the home goal. Killumney didn't really play well 1st half. One team only looked like winning in second half + that was the home side. Deccie got sent off at 3 nil. Pen was last minute which was outside box to be fair but they were denied another stone wall pen a few minutes earlier. Dont think Douglas even had a shot second half. One corner nearly went straight in but that was that. From what I heard, they were missing a few + had 3 youths on the bench. Think the Kanturk game could be a cracker. With the game off this weekend donald it should be in great nick come Saturday.
Cors won the league last year but someone else will probably win this year. It changes all the time in the MJL. Rockmount won 2 on the bounce then someone else won. If cors are the best, a 2-1 win over Blackstone doesn't say much. No disrespect Hill but the way people on the msl forums go on, premier teams wouldn't challenge the top teams in the MJL let alone premier a sides. In my opinion the hall, cors, mahon + rockmount would be the pick of the sides but I do think that it changes every year. Not so long back avondale were the team to beat in junior soccer. I know lads off both the Douglas hall aul + msl junior teams + I'm sure both would argue who is the better team. There are players on both who could play senior.Quote:

Semi final with a trip to the cross as incentive is a nice carrot. Innish are flying. That league will be tight between innish, glen, Douglas, carrig + kanturk. Surely if ye bring cup form to the league then ye will be right up there.Quote:

Not putting down the MJL but I think the aul is better than their prem. Like never mind results at weekend. For as long as I have been following AUL they have had the upper hand. Last year/year before Wilton beat rockmount(who were champs) comfortably + that has been the pattern. I think the top 5 aul prem teams would challenge for MSL 1. No bother. The aul premier will be one of the most competitive leagues at any level this year.Quote:

aw stop talking porkies.....matter of fact ringmahon battered glen celtic in a prer season friendly as was said in this site a few weeks back, and ringmahon are in disseray.i would have money on corinthans to beat any aul team and id have money that rockmouint and midleton marys would beat all these teams also..that pitch in kileady yesterday was only fit for sheep id like to see that game played in the hall or a good surface id say completley different game.
Are you blaming a 4-0 hammering that could have been 6 or 7 and 1 shot on target on the pitch??? Don't be making a fool of yourself now if Killumney played Douglas hall in turners cross they'd still beat them, an they were missing 2 of there best players aswell. It was a hammering simple as that really
Well someone is a sore loser. Now your blaming the pitch. I really have heard it all. Killumney play ball. Don't know what game you were watching but there was only 1 team that played football second half. Hence the 4-0 scoreline. Would love to see that game on a better pitch. People like you make me laugh. Killumney beat Douglas. Fairview mayfield, innish carrigaline + the so called fantastic cors barely beat a first division team. Take off your blinkers. The MJL is a step below aul + that's a fact.Quote:

Perhaps they had an off day but they were extremely happy to have edged it. ps. and best of luck to them, very gracious in victory.Quote:

ringmahon and glen listen buddy the lads that played that day 5 were glen players the rest draged in all over and should have been 3 nil after 20 mins to the glen only for your keeper.batterd is a word you mentioned.you got a few cards that day.im not getting into this i want to keep my place on the forum for the football people,s views.i see the glen take coachford to task in the 1st half leads me to think their still a force.killumneys result speaks for itself i think...well done to them out there what a team.hill is bang on.Quote:

yes he told me that he got a call from them and he said to me that he turned them down flat as he just cant do football at this present moment in timeQuote:

out of 36 teams getting to out of town: AUL 26, MJL 10.
At this moment, Grattan should be playing their future home games at Knocknaheeny Celtic's pitch due to construction going on at O'Neil park.
We play host to Innishvilla this Saturday and we cannot wait. Kick off at 2pm.
If we get the go ahead to play at O'Neill park for one more week, I will post it.
CUP DRAWS

Some cracking ties
Is there anychance we can open another thread here and call it the glen celtic thread..1fortheteam you dont half hop on about them...i wont get into all the negative things that surround your club because it has all been said before and I dont have time tp type everything.....i take nothing away from what the glen did last season as I was on here singing your praises but the fact is ye were playing in a brutal league and won a few lower graded cups....come on here when the club wins a few premier leagues and aohs and people will respect you..im sure the lads playing with the glen would also appreciate if you stop all the silly comments you make in relation to them being better than barcelona as all you are doing is preparing them for an almighty fall and they deserve better than that...they are a good team with good players they are not what you make them out to be so just give it a break would ya and let this forum get back to what it was doing before ye won a couple of lower league trophies
when is the open draw for the fai junior cup?
After the 4th round..Your into the last 64Quote:

luck plays a part in all sport and you need it .but the ref has his job to do aswell.and i dont know about the cork refs when you draw the big guns it seems our refs go out of their way to show we do thing by the book .its the other way round when our teams go away.just my take on it.looking at the draw the aul will have 4 going forward and anything after is a bonus.
Obviously the refs can't take the blame for all the times cork teams are beaten at home in the fai junior as much as we would like to blame them. The facts are that a lot of the Dublin Waterford limerick and tipp teams don't have competition from other leagues for players therefore having the strongest team possible.in cork we have the msl Mjl and aul all taking players from eachother if there was one league then we might see a cork team lift the fai junior againQuote:
