I promised myself........and so did Ola by the way.......that we wouldnt get involved in this topic anymore. But I have to respond to just one comment. That was a bad comment about Ola club hopping. He was one of a few who carried Hibs the last few years - they stabbed him in the back and he left. We tried then to get him because we knew how commmitted he was to whatever club he was with. He went to Glenthorn and everyone up there will tell you he took that B team as far as he could, even though the writing was probably on the wall for half a season. We chased him again and are delighted to have him.If we more like him in every club, the workload wouldnt fall on the same few, as is in most clubs.
He isnt a manager who would walk over dirty jerseys on a dressing room floor, like some managers we discussed earlier in the season.
We have had phonecalls from guys telling us they wanted to join and then not doing anything about it - funny people in a funny transfer window. We have now been linked to 12 players!
Best of luck tomorrow View - I heard an old tale that 40 years ago when ye reached the Final, the boys actually had illegal players!! But it didnt come out for years after!! ye have signed a good player from us and I wish him well too, even though he is cup tied for tomorrow.
Gary Nolan will regret packing in football if he does - not just him - an old saying from a guy 10 years or more older than him................."If I knew 10 years ago, what I know now!"
big low for ballyvolane if thats true.great player
lads let me put the record straight now.garry nolan trained with us wednesday night. he had acrack rib and was injured for a few weeks,ive just been on the phone to him and he doesnt know where the story came from.he will be in monard tomorrow for league match provided no reaction to ribs.as reguards us like grattan ,i dont think so.one player left us to go to leeside to team up again with his brother.thats all.from what i hear its a few leeds players that were on the move,dont want to mention names though.
try this it might help http://www.blarneyunited.com/How_To_Get_There.htmQuote:

My loyalties lie out Whitechurch way but as I have said earlier I would go anywhere to watch good players regardless of age, level or club. Have not made up my mind where I will go this weekend.Quote:

So i'm even causing trouble in my sleep ;-)
Best of luck to the AUL v MSL next wed. Lets all come together now lads as one and support our league, many of ye on here have a player or 2 involved. Just saw the squad on AUL site and though ive seen stronger squads over the years its not whats on paper that wins games as we all know!! See ye all there wednesday!
OLA, get yourself checked out there kid for sleepwalking !!!!!!
Horse we went to Swilly Rovers in 2006 for a reunion of the 1962 FAI Junior Cup Final teams. Had a great weekend but yeh a lot of those guys admitted they had two illegal players. But thats the way things go no point looking back, just going mad for the legends that played they deserved a winners medal. For the next 7 or 8 years Castleview got to the quarters & semis a few times but never managed to get the holy grail. Ya Pa is a good player hopefully he does well for us. Glenbuck if you're looking for a game on Sunday our u-14s are playing at 2 at home against Ballinroad from Dungarvan in the National Cup.
Ola you're a great man causing trouble while asleep. Haha. How did you find out the comment about Nolan was attributed to you.
Just a quick point about the AUL panel, we had a player requested to go to a training session last week, he turned up didn't receive much of a welcome or even a small bit of a chat from the management, his number was taken and he was told there would be a training game on tues/wed just gone, he never received a call or text about it, and now the panel is up. I think they need to learn some manners and show a little respect to players who have had the decency to turn up when requested. Whether or not he was picked or even considered for the squad is irrelevant.
Cork U15s V Clare out in CSN on Sunday at 2. You wanna see these fellas - scaringly talented!Quote:

I got a message today from someone asking me!! i had to say it was some guy named Goal-achio - similar name but not the same!!!Quote:

Well thats what he was told Olachico, don't know how many were at the session, more like 20
There was 17 at that session - but approximately 50 have been looked at in total over a period of weeks
totally agree with you radio star.but its typical of players not in the cartel so to speak.ive always said the oscar traynor set up is a joke anyway,thats been proven wih a lot of kinsale players not makeing themselves available.as ive said before dont be surprised if players on this panel will be playing with bandon next season.ive said before and i will say again a ul should have given job to member of their own league..especially after the dismal performance in turners cross last year.Quote:

The season before, Santa Claus was nearly here before we had anyone.Quote:

The Grattan run a few years ago caused some buzz around the northside.
I agree horse the our player was treated badly and i can only presume that there are other clubs with the same issue. He is a young lad and we were thrilled for him to get a chance to train with and hopefully represent the AUL team but seriously, what kind of message has been sent out. I have never been a fan of the selection process and i recognise the fact that it isnt easy for the management but if there was 17 that bothered to train, where were the other so called 33 players ??. As the view said, Pa O Conner, played one game this year and is in the squad ??. Im not questioning the guys ability but if that the way the squad is picked then why have training sessions at all. Im sure all our players have better things to be doing than going training on a Wed night trying to impress someone who obviously only has an interest in a select few, the tried and tested few. What impression do these players that are discarded disrespectfully have on the AUL Cork side ?????. I know what mine is.
Saw them at first hand Horse24. Scaringly talented is an apt description. Outstanding side.Quote:

Willie Brutons best days are behind him. See if he does it against the stronger teams. No disrespect to Ballyvolane Shetland.Quote:

John lynch(sweeper) with 2 today,coming back into now after long term injury,like a new signing!
Thats two on the spin,and 3 out of 5,blackstone next saturday,which will be a bigger threat than what we got today!
Another thing aswell today,went they scored,your man took off the jersey celebrating,ref booked him,im not sure,but is that rule in local soccer!
Someone might no!
Pitch was very hard today aswell,so credit must go to the ref today,for leaving as much time for it to thaw out!
He went around to most players before the game and asked there opinion about it!
On another note our B team got team of the month for december,which is a fantastic accole for them!
I think the win against blarney street had something to do with it!
Any ref will tell you rules are rules regardless of the level. On a brighter note great news for your second team.Quote:

Shetland I went out to Monard today after looking at the fixtures I thought this game had the potential to be a cracker but how wrong was I. 3-0 nil at half time the scoreline didn't reflect the game in all honesty. If Blarney went in at half time 6 or 7 up you couldn't complain. I'm not sure if it was them being that good or if ballyvolane were that poor but there was a big difference between the two teams. Blarney did open ye up time and time again and bruton was behind most things they done well. Glenbuck his best days might be behind him but his is still better than anyone in the aul. I would have no doubt he can do it against stronger opposition. Would be intersted to know if he was asked to play with the aul team. Must say I can't understand how pa Connors is on this squad. Disgrace if you ask me and totally agree with other posters on this. Does not encourage anyone to go up and play trial games when it seems they are irrelevent when it comes to picking the squad. Never really agreed with the choice of manager anyway. Lads I come from an msl backround and have to ask could you ever imagine the msl appointing an aul manager to be in charge of their representitive side. I don't think so. That said I wish them all the best wend night.
I see Gratten got a big beating at home,were u playing killer?
Horse u were on few months back about pearse being your bogey team,every team has 1!Ours was village!
Glenthorn beating bohs has opened the league big time,but must say good day for kilumney!
But theres lots of ball to be played yet!
I have to agree - AUL panel/team players should be higher standard tham MSL Senior 2nd Division - that's the third division with Prem, 1st and 2nd. It might be more of a question if Bandon were a Premier division side but would moving from a Prem AUL side to a 2nd division MSL side be a step up? I don't think so...Quote:

Glenthorn took the lead afer 30 seconds and stayed that way after an onslaught of pressure and possession and chances for 44 mins before Trevor Hallisey scored a great goal to level the game just before the whistle blew for half time.
2nd half kicked of when Niall Collins picked up the ball in his own half beat 4 players with a great run before pulling the ball back for Willy o Shea who smacked the ball home to make it 2 -1 to Bohs.But within 2 mins Glenthorn had levelled the game after a great ball put there centre forward through to make it 2-2
Again we pushed on but wer caught after a bad mistake and Keith Kelleher on as sub for Glenthorn put in a great ball for the forward to make it 3-2 to Glenthorn.Caught on the break in the last 15 mins and Glenthorn took there chance to get the killer goal in this game to make it 4-2.
Really dissapointed with the result considering the amount of chances and possession we had but fair play to Glenthorn they defended as if their lives depended on it and should have no bother staying up if they play like this every week.
Having checked the fixtures yesterday i was undecided what game to take in. Blarney St v ballyvolane in monard or glenthorn v bohs. I opted for monard thinking this had the potential for fireworks. How wrong was I. Shetland to say Blarney bossed the 1st half is the understatement of the year. If ye went in at half time 6 down you couldn't complain. They looked like scoring with every attack. I have seen Blarney twice this year and they looked a completely different team yesterday to when I seen them earlier. Not sure if they were that good yesterday or if ballyvolane were that poor but blarney looked very strong. Willie Britons best years maybe behind him glenbuck but he is still superior to anything in the aul. Anything Blarney done well yesterday
he was behind. The 2 Peelos at the back were class. Nolan didn't get a sniff. Maybe ye were missing a few Shetland or just had a really bad day but they were well above ye. But still a lot of points to play for so if ye can sort it out then who knows. I left at half time but ye must have improved cause I was suprised to hear that it finished 4-1
lads I have to say I come from an msl backround and I have to ask the question do you think the msl would ever appoint an aul manager to look after any of their oscar traynor teams. I don't think so. It's a touch farcical. His priorites are elsewhere. Intereting to know did willie bruton get asked on to this team. Don't know this guy pa Connors but is it fair to call a guy up after only playing one game.either way best of luck to them wend night.
glenbuck as the saying goes class is permanent .bruton is a serious player and i bet casilles will tell you same.dont worry he will shine against the better teams too.Quote:

Saw him in his final days with Avondale. In and out of team. Agree that class is permanant but I have my doubts about Bruts at this level. Needs some good players around him to get the best out of him. Not a man for rolling up the sleeves.Quote:
