i think kinsale,leeside,wilton,kilumney and park (when the gaa is not on) would be as good as the bottom half of senior premier.
How is that one sided?? I said ye should have gone two up. Fair enough if ye took every chance it could have been 3. Then again if Leeside took their chances they could have had 3 too. If everyone counted every single chance they get in a game as a potential goal then games would finish 10 goals a piece. Unfortunately that's not the caseQuote:

What you are failing to realize is that if the above named teams players wanted to play senior and were good enough to be top senior players they would be already...and also the top senior teams like rockmount avondale and the hall would simply take them from these teams...don't go jumping down my throat and say they are good enough,I'm not saying that,just letting who know how the msl premier teams operate and would be a step up for the likes of lee side who at aul level can dominate and get the best aul playersQuote:

Kilumney not good enough long term as they don't have the set up to attract players and don't have a lot of players coming through. Blarney Street and Park not good enough. Kinsale are probably the only team who could compete long term in senior league but having said that for all their years of dominance in the AUL Premier they have never had a good cut off the FAI Junior cup. A lot of the better teams in this cup would be senior league standard and Cork Junior teams haven't competed for a long time and probably won't in the near future.
i would say neither of your teams would last a year in the msl premier division....if any of the players were really top grade players they would be playing munster senior league already....i would make an exception... for delea of leeside and d.mc carthy of kinsale.....very intelligent players who can mix if they need to!!!plus you can rule out park cos no decent club lasts at the top relying on gaa players.
im basing my opinion on what i have seen from all these teams this season and making a comparison of the aul teams mentioned and the bottom half of senior premier,your gone abit off my point there chiefscout.
Know a few players in the AUL who are asked to play senior on a yearly basis but choose to stay in the AUL due to not being able to commit to senior football cos of work or families or whatever, there are plenty good enough tho
I agree that there are some individual players good enough to playing the Msl,however if wilton leeside kinsale etc wanted to go senior there would have to be drastic changes in the squads for them to compete in the Msl 1st division!Quote:

No doubt there are players good enough and certainly they would be playing senior only for work,family or other commitments but I reckon the step up would be an eye opener.id love to see 3 or 4 teams make the step up and see how they fair.but as I said the vultures from the premier would be circlingQuote:

Lets hope some teams make the step up soon and we can all put this matter to bed!Quote:

Wasnt there an agreement between both the msl and aul that no teams could switch for 5 years and with that 5 years coming to an end after this season,surely the msl will welcome new clubs because the 2nd division isnt the greatest,i think it was mentioned further back on the thread the clubs that are supposedly ready to make a proposal!Quote:

Could be a quiet weekend for football if this rain continues lads. On the MSL/AUL debate i for one wouldnt like to see many teams transferring to MSL. Yes they would probably be improving their own game/standards but to the detriment of the AUL. Anyone agree ?
Agree to a point.might also allow or make other teams in aul to step up to the plate and push on to be the next best aul teams,teams that wouldn't have that chance because of the form and pulling power of the leesides and kinsalesQuote:

Well deserved recognition for all.
much games called off in he AUL yet lads?
Kanturk 1 Blarney street 0
Good win for us today!Scored early and held on for rest of game!
Didnt play our best game today,but our concentration was top notch!
Looking forward to castleview thursday night,gonna be another tough one!
Anyone know on what grounds MJL objected on ? And any idea on re fixture just seems bit strange , it couldn't have hurt to leave aul play tipp as game has to be played regardless . If anyone has any knowledge or can shed some light be nice .
I know it was the mossie yesterday but is it safe at this stage to say the people tipping blarney st to challenge for the league at the start of the season got it very wrong? Its one thing to have a few good players on paper but turning them into title challengers is a big ask especially with a rookie manager.
They are not having a good run at the moment, but most teams will have a bad patch at some stage, I'm sure Eddie will turn it around especially with the players he has in the squad.
with the players he has radio he shouldnt be in this position.he always had something to say when things went well ,but since the departure of aiden king and garry nolan its been down hill since
Where did Gary Nolan go?
Was surprised alright at yesterday's result, tho blarney St would win by a goal or 2.. I think there struggling for numbers due to fellas not being able to get off work and injuries, was told Crow and another player ( can't remember his name ) are after walking away from them today dont know how true it is tho!!
Maybe being out of all the cups will suit them in there league campaign give players that are injured a chance to get back fit.
To be fair I don't think he should be on here as a manager of the team as everyone reads this!! Kinger played about 4 games and never would have signed if he was staying in this country. Don't know what happened with Gary Nolan. Crow is taking a break his words not playing for the rest of year. And timmy Kelly is the other departure apparantley!!
no where yet untill the window opens.Quote:

Anyone played either side lately and willing to call it? Couple of cracking derby games too....Dillons x v Village and Ard na Laoi v Ballincollig plus Knockavilla v Coachford will be no place for the fainf hearted either!
and not forgetting a tasty game for killumney against innishvilla in innishannon. to be honest hill ive seen glen celtic twice this season and they are a very good side ,i fancy them to upset carraig.
Gary Nolan on the move again, crikey ! ...
"Ref, I only wanna play ball" .. Classic
Gary might not be on the move if Eddie is in the move instead.
Any predictions for weekend?
tell us more hands is eddie on the move so.i spoke to garry last week and he is possibly joining a local team .Quote:
