No Robbie Walsh on the AUL squad? No Crow? 6 from park including 1 from the b team? I know park won the league but do they have 6 stand out players? I don't think so. Look I know everyone wanted a change up but I think the squad is poor. Easy know park are involved with management
If there is 1 from Parks B team that's an insult to every footballer that didn't make it and was at the trails . Best of luck to the Aul team . We should get a good guage on tuesday on how strong the Aul squad is when Park travel to St Micheals in Tipp for the champions cup qf .With 6 players on aul squad from Park .Hibs must be over the moon they more or less beat a third of the Aul squad surely the lad that got 4 goals should be in squad ;)
football is a funny game ,saw hillington a few weeks ago and the were beaten well,some result v blarney st.
6 from park is a joke the only one good enough to start is Darren Lynch and maybe the lad Eamonn, the rest are average players, No Robbie Walsh is another bad move, both keepers are below average and as I said before the wingers and full back positions they will be poor, the players that made themselves unavailable should be pulled and dragged to the training, Lucey, Calla, Crow, Delea, Don Forde would all start on that team!! As was said above easy knowing Park have a man involved!! 6 from the one team undermines every other team in the leagues, are they really that good?? They Scrope out of the poorest mossie group (bar blarney st) and there out of the AOH ready..
You can't force lads to play,More than likely have other commitments with work e.t.c...Quote:

That said best of luck to all involved.
Not so weak our ball out wide imo, Lloyd Dorgan with his pace is capable of doing damage on the right, Jeffers played wide left with Kinsale and Linzell is a tough left full to play against. If he goes 2 up top, Lynch and Corcoran have a great eye for goal. We may get some clues on wed night.Quote:

Lads Park are the premier league champions..they deserve to have 6 on the squad..if not more IMO!
Experience they have got and the no how to get results will be a vital factor on the aul squad!
The 6 that called up deserved the chance to impress,cause it was always the same people on the squad year in year out.
Sorry, freeballref, who you with again? You see much of our 3 Prem team (2 champion) Mossie group?
Horse I'm not being disrespectful just being honest, if I was a premier player and played in the mossie I'd want Blackstone, Castleview, and Bohs in my group all day long..
Personally I think Donal has done a good job, I'm fairly sure he reads foot.ie like a lot of others, he was aware of the negative texts from last year, and has tried to do it better, he has picked a squad, no one is ever going to agree with whatever squad he picked, that's a fact! But that's his call as team manager, he has used the Aul website to keep everyone informed of how he is doing this, so nobody can say they didn't know how to go about contacting him about certain players etc., he now has the squad he wants, so let him get on with getting them ready and try and give him and the players a bit of support.
is that the final squad???
Have nothing to do with the AUL squad.I think this is the strongest AUL panel Doanl could pick from.Park are premier league champions,Kilumney AOH champions and Glen Celtic won 3 trophies and were team of the year.All these players deserve their place.Add this to the experience of the lads from Blarney St and Coachford.Most of ye were giving out last year that it was the same faces on the squad.This year there is plenty of new faces and ye are still giving out.
Agree with you there Parkboy. People will always disagree with certain players being omitted/included but overall i think he has picked from the best available. Thats not to say I think its a strong squad however and I think they will struggle to progress but Donal can only work with whats available. I do agree with the way he has done things, i.e. keeping players/clubs informed of latest developments through the AUL site. Best of luck to everyone selected and i hope ye prove me wrong and go all the way.Quote:

A few big wins for teams in lower divisions, Park losing at home has to be the biggest shock though. Hillington are a tough side to play against, a good cup team. Haven't heard much about Springfield this year but a premier team losing to a team in 3B has to be disappointing. Anybody watch Coachford v Knockavilla, Oldlegs?
Not much to say about the game Hairy Hands . Coachford where always a tough team to get a result against and this year they have added some serious firepower to their team . Saying that I wouldn't be afraid to play them again we have a few things to iron out and just looking forward to start of league compaign
Park should have more than 6 donaldinho just cos the league, are you serious?? They should only have 2 and that's it, the rest are not great players, whereas Babsy, Kearney, John Corcoran are, they've a park B player on it in fairness it's a joke, don't think Kinsale had more than 6 on it and they dominated the AUL for a few years, park wins one and they deserve 8-9?? No way!!!
You have your opinion - Im just asking for clarification. As opposed to?Quote:

It shouldnt matter what club they play for - if the 11 best players in the AUL play for one club.....they should only pick 2 of them to be nice?Quote:

MORK CALLING ORSON (those of a certain vintage will understand the reference) - can we have our forum name corrected please and the ban reference removed?
There not good enough is my point, so he played well against ye, does one game make you a very good player these days??
What a load of huge games in the AOH draw!! Going to be some cracking games in that lot.
Dont think one game does. Maybe the three sessions after or winning the league made him a player. I can only judge on what I have seen.
Horse, our request concerning the forum title is falling on deaf ears id say.
On the AUL Panel, i don't think 6 players would have been picked from the same club if they didn't think they were good enough. On the b player, questionable maybe. They haven't played a competitive game yet and a few on here have the Cork side written off which show a complete lack of respect for Donal and his team who have been straight and honest on their selection process. I think Overthehill,Radiostar,Horse and Sharpshooter are spot on, we have to give them a chance and support Donal in any way possible. After all, they are representing us !!!
Drag certain players to training, a rubbish statement to make.

...............as we pass 200,000 views.................
It's simple facts owl the 6 of em aren't good enough and the fact parks manager is involved makes it even worse, a B team player?? Come on in all fairness if he can't get into the A team how can he get into the Best the AUL have to offer?? It makes a mockery of the whole thing!! Didn everyone call for management with no ties to anyone this year?? Park had 2 on it last year and the game I seem in turners cross none of them played, so how can they go to having 6 this year??
Ourballref, you have to remember Leeside,Wilton and Kinsale are now MSL and as you said yourself there are a fewshoe ins for the panal that have declared themselves out this year. Saying all that it was always going to be tough to get the right balance. In my opinion its a strong panal, and ok fair enough as i said i would perhaps question the B team player but i have never seen the guy play.
Yeah AOH is wide open now - some big names gone and plenty more to go in the next round. At the very most there can only be 8 Premier/Premier A teams left in last 16. There are 4 cracking All premier/premier a ties:
Macroom V Killumney
Pearse v Coachford
Innishvilla v Kanturk
Carrigtwohill v Glen Celtic
To be honest that would be a cracking 1/4 final line up never mind 3rd round (last 32)
Throw in a few trickey ties for the other premier teams - Glenvale v Blackstone, Cartleview v village, douglas hall v Dillons X...
Thread title restored,keep it civil in here or it goes back on.
Carrigtwohill v Glen Celtic for me is the tie of the round and I reckon the Glen should edge that if they dont hit the self destruct button at anytime during the game. The Macroom Kilumney game wont be for the faint hearted either.....+ Reply to Thread
12th man, your a gent !;)
Very hard to win a double in any league Hubba not to mention the top league.Have seen Kilumney play this year and although they won I don't think they are that much stronger than everyone else.Having spoken with a few of there players recentley i think they might just be a bit too cocky as well.I reckon Coachford will be very hard to beat this year especially with there recent signings. And I wouldn't read too much into Park getting beaten last weekend they are still the team to beat. If anything that result on Saturday might be the wake up call they need cause they do seem to be slow out of the blocks this year. Same for Blarney St I saw them play Blackstone in the Mossy few weeks back and I thought they were just one or two players off being serious challengers this year. For me I think Coachford,Park, Killumney in that order for the Premier League. On the discussion about the squad for the Oscar Traynor team my only worry about it is the lack of experience of playing at that level. If I'm not mistaken only Peelo, Kearney, lynch and maybe Jeffers (not sure if he has played before while at kinsale) have played at this level before. I am open to correction on this lads but if I'm right then that would mean only 4 out of the squad of 20 have experienced this before. But obviously that's what the manager thinks is the best group available to him then we should all do our best to support him. I for one am looking forward to the 1st game and seeing all the new players on show. i just hope that little bit of experience doesnt come back to haunt them.. talking of that can anyone tell me if Derek Delea was available for selection or did he not want to be involved this year.
Leeside won AOH in 05 & 06, and think Greenmount in 2001 & 2002Quote:

I'd say Macroom and Killumney are sick of the sight of each other,I'd say every cup competition in the last too years they ave met at some stage!!
[QUOTE=Triggs;1633729]If anything that result on Saturday might be the wake up call they needQUOTE]
Lets hope not. Looking forward to welcoming them Saturday. You want to be playing the top teams to see how you fair against the best and we will be well up for it. Bring it on!!
Although I agree that 6 park players is a joke, clearly everyone who is giving out about the lad on parks B team has not seen him play. The lad is a class act and no doubt he will prove it if he is called upon. There is obviously a reason for him playing on the B team, work commitments, friends on the B team, it could be anything. Just because somebody is not playing premier it dont mean he is not good enough for the oscar traynor team. Simple fact is that there are players in the lower leagues who would walk into any premier team. Everyone has been calling for change and now that the change has come everyone is blasting the team before they even kick a ball. These lads are going to give it the best shot they can and I for one think they would try alot harder if they had everyones support rather than all this negativity from the very start.
