Cork AUL 2012/13 (Forum ban for Infractions)

Could you make the argument hitnhope that if he is a good player he can't be as sharp as he should be by playing a poorer standard every week, you need to be playing against the best and the fittest week in week out to mix it with the Kerry team or the Tipp team, this is a cork team at the end of the day?? This is no disrespect to the lower leagues I know ye train and give 150% every week for yer clubs just like the premier teams but football is about standards and some are gonna be better than others that's football!! The tower players played MJL last year so obviously can play but will they be sharp enough against the top junior players in the country???

Well from what I have seen from this so called "B" player he is as fit and sharp as anyone else out there. Clearly the lower leagues overall dont have the quality of premier teams but there are a good handfull of players down there who could quite easily play at any level, hense a few of them being selected for the squad. If these lads are fully fit and are good enough players then of course they should be given a chance, or would it make more sense to pick players who are not as good and not as fit just on the basis of them playing premier?? If these lads were not sharp enough it would have been noted at training or at the matches. I think people should at least wait until this selection of players play a tough practice match before criticising so much???

I totally agree with hitnhope, everyone has been calling for a change with AUL squad over the past year and now its changed there is still people moaning, so leave the new management team at it and hope they do well. From looking at the first list released this season for the oscar traynor trials there was a lot of players with past experience on that, i take it they have decided to give it a miss this year. I think it was triggs there who mentioned Derek Delea, I actually watched the Carrigtohill/Knockraha game on Sunday morning in Carrig, good game of ball and carrig very lucky to come out of it with a win, Knockraha looked the better team on the day and missed 2 great chances to win the game in normal time, I seen carrig play earlier this season and it looked like they where missing a few sunday morning all right. Derek was a top player in the AUL over the years but you can see that he is loosing the yards all right so maybe thats why he did not make it to the Oscar traynor panel or not put himself forward. Was very lucky to stay on the pitch, 2 very bad tackles from him, 1 which could of been a straight red, Knockraha are a decent team for a such a small area to pick from and have a big lad in middle, I think they where calling him Buckley who was running the show for them.

Muller, 2 bad tackles from Delea ? Not sure what game you were watching there pal. Was a very clean, competitive game from two strong physical sides. On the Cork AUL side, for whatever reason Derek isnt with the AUL side i dont think its any of anyones business why he isnt involved and not fair to be pressuming reasons as to why.
Lets not forget the cup shocks we had at the weekend, and ours could have been one too as it went to pens. You failed to mention that had we taken our chances in the first half the game could have been over as a contest. Knockraha too had their chances and will count themselves unlucky not to get out of Carrig with a win. They have a very good, strong and disiplined side that in my opinion will be there abouts come the end of the season. Would also like to mention that the referee had a super game, cutting out any niggle early on and let the game flow well.

The last team to retain the cup.

i see the main topic at the moment seems to be the selsection= of so called lesser league players for the aul team.

I see that the tsdl beat the aul 2 nil last night

muller think you must have been in the castle before the game because like the owl i didn,t see a bad tackle in the whole game good competitive game played by two sporting sides.

Oldlegs what are you talking about?? The AUL didn't pla last night??

michaels beat park 2-0 think hes making a joke about park being the aul as they have so many on the panel this year

I wouldn't call what I said a joke to be honest . Park have 6 on AUL panel and St Micheals would have the same if not more on the TSDL panel so I would say its a fair reflection of both squads . What you think ?

fair enough it wasnt a joke. i dont see six from park starting to be honest.

why would ya manage in a league and hope ur representive team loses? that is logic defying. we all have our opinions on the squad and think we know it all but dont think any of us want them to lose. i know a couple of teams are a 5er training (one night) 5er match. another 3 teams i know sell tickets and another 2 pay a tenner a week (2 nights training) + match.

I hope they do well. But it won't stop me having my say on a team that represents the league I play in

Everyone has their own opinion lads. If they want them to do well or not is entirely up to the individual. I, for one, would like to see the team do well even though the team has not got anyone from my club on it. If someone says to me ''i hope they get hockeyed'' then fair enough. Each to his own.

i think i lost AOH final in 2001 to Leeside, i think ...

Heard Blarney were beaten today. Any other scores?

Pearse C 1-0 Coachford great result for Pearse down in Coachford not an easy place to get a win.

Fair result? Any report?

It was in fairness Coachford put us under fierce pressure at one stage in the second half alrite had a bout six corners in a row but we dealt with them, 1st half we by far the better team and they should have had a player sent off their manager was cute out tho and subbed him at half time.Our keeper made a few worldies aswell in the second half we hung on tho and deserved the win in my opinion anyway.

Ya they changed it and in my opinion they it worked against them bringing John Corcoran out wide.to be fair now tho they put us under a good bit of pressure in the second half but I think that was more to do with us relaxing more then anything good team tho they are in fairness not bad at all !

I get upset a lot over that aul team :) but every person has a differant view on players tactics and so forth . It would look to me that the aul management had their squad selected long before them 2 trail games . Its hard enough to manage a prem or any team and get your starting 11 right every week you'll always have guys that think they should start so imagine having the pick of over 1000 players or if you only look at top two prem and prem a you'd have 200 to 230 players to pick from . So I can see why everyone would back their own but back to your question your keeper your number 4 6 and 8 would have been worth a look in my eyes but I don't pick the team :) . A lot of crap involved with aul team I know I slagged Park for having 6 but if I was Park manager I would have pushed for my players to be picked . So a lot of politics involved but I'll be there on wednesday shouting them on .

Its not Aul's fault if game is called off its the team that calls it off to contact the opposition and the ref in this case the Tower sec should have contacted the ref and Everton so another fine on way to Tower I'd say

Ya we have a bigger squad this year apart from losing the two lads to Douglas hall seniors so I think we will be able to come up wit this consistency every week.hopefully the lads might come back from the hall aswell then that would be as good a squad anywhere in cork aul

Totally agree about the numbers involved that its very hard to see or judge players on 1 game.could the Oscar traynor not be moved back by 1 month to give all managers in the competition a better look at players.

All this "my player, your player, this player," should be in is wrecking my head. For the love of football lets see how they do against the defense force or higher opposition. If I'm not mistaken when we won the competion people complained about Keith Kellehers inclusion in the squad but he put in MOM performances week after week. Guess who recommended Keith to Minty? Donal Riordan that's who now lets get behind him and the squad and get out the Cross next week. The boys selected will run through walls for the jersey and will give 100%. Come on lads let's give a week of support, Donal can choose only a few not everyone we think should be there. AUL Abu.
