Only telling ya what the man said El Niño, a team that attracts all the best players in cork and that could possibly run away with the league just like Celtic most seasons the way things are going, he might aswell stick with Bandon and do the relegation battle and then go buy football manager 2014 start a career with psg buy all the best players and win the league every season
Any more movements in the transfer market lads?
Any truth in the rumours one leaving both rockmount and casement?
Two huge losses and both were best players for said teams any time i seen them play.
Dont want to give names as not one for stirring.
Maybe those involved with the clubs could confirm it or someone more in the know.
I've heard a few transfers myself a few heading to Everton and one leaving!! Also can't see anyone leave casement when they top of the league?? Rockmount aren't the same anymore so no surprise players leaving there!! Also a few heading to Mary's I believe!! Won't say names either unfair to name players til moves have being confirmed !!! My own view the amount of players leaving and joining clubs in transfer window is crazy !!!Quote:

You'd like to think that about casement alright but a lot of there players are young and have already played with a couple of clubs and could have their heads turned. But having seen casement alot this year they are a great side and look a close bunch of lads.Quote:

The transfer window can also change a clubs fortunes .If one of the clubs fighting relegation was able to get 2 or 3 new recruits in ,it could change their season and help them kick on.
john hayes gone from rockmount due to cork football commitments !!!
sorry should say nothing will change in premier the league is avondales !! And will be for a few years !! In my eyes the senior football is getting weaker in cork!! My opinion only!!Quote:

And you must take into account he was up against Billy Croinin one of the best managers of all time So to call him tactically inept is laughableQuote:

So are you saying Billy Croinin did not know how to adapt and hes also Tactically inept also.Quote:

Leave me have a stap of it though, what your saying if teams dont try to play like Barcelona they are considered negative, and are therefor tactically inept, does that mean so that capello, Mourinho even Tony Pulist are in this category along with Cronin.Quote:

Bad to worse so for Ramblers. Still haven't signed anyone. Such a pity after all the work last year. That's 5 of last year's starters gone so far I think
Will Springfield and Cobh wanderers pick up a few Cobh lads to or what??Quote:

You referred to the Avondale/Rockmount game when you said it was the best counter attacking football you seen from an amateur side,and im trying to make you aware that Rockmount failed to exploit the gaps by continuously launching balls instead of getting the ball down and moving it,it has worked for them in the past but in a case like this they might as well have been playing against 11 men,to put it simple they played it into Avondales hands!Quote:

Why isn't Dave hill busy in the off season trying to sign players are they going with last years u19s. Your right huge work was put in last year to get back to league of Ireland level. There must be some strategy behind it. Is it a case we will go with the youth and produce our own players. If so it's a great concept but will take a long time to achieve this.Quote:

I take it Cobh and LOI wasn't the pipe dream they thought it would be,not to worry try again soon lads!Quote:

Couldnt agree more with coro here. If you have an extra player or 2 should really be able to find gaps in the opposition while moving and passing quick, maybe Rockmount dont have the footballers to do it but by hoofing long balls down onto Dales centre backs your really just asking for trouble... It might not be the managers fault because of the lack of footballers in rockmounts team but surely they could try... Just remember Ross isnt playing so who can they look for now to win their long ballsQuote:
