To be fair while that B saved Grattan from going wallop in the past.
Grattan never had a tradition of promoting from the B team a lot of the same faces with that Grattan B team for years.
The B team acted as safety valve for the 1st team should things go wrong.
If gratton get fit and get back there injured players add only 1 or 2 players there definitely up there with contention , I wouldn’t count that game in the cross had few starters missing and also had a teammates wedding the night before.
We see if castleview are as big on Facebook as they were last year knocka will fall apart coachford will start late and catch teams already fallen,
Watergrasshill could shock the league.
Any truth to Luke Casey signing for coachford?
Delegate meeting tonight in Blackpool. We might get an update on club numbers and leagues for this season
Lads knocka celtic looking for friendlys next couple weeks if any teams interested
What a shame for Grattan and very poor management from the committee.Quote:

If rumors are true, Castleview will have five adult teams: four men's and one women's. Christ, that's some going! They seem to be growing exponentially these last few years.
Not forgetting new pitch Aul giving Castleview retired folk busy goings up their Plus anyone and lads have clubs be giving notice about meeting tonight
Any interest in playing a Limerick team ?
Yes clubs given notice of meeting last week. Serious going by Castleview but let’s be honest they are the only real club on the northside they offer the opportunity of playing with the one club from 6 to 40.
Some organisation in that.
Leeds mayfield northside club to fruice
Yes but in the AUL arena Castlview are the only players.
Surely that was just hearsay, That rumour came and went, News like that would be all over Facebook especially Castleviews as they always seem active on there FB.Quote:

I hate to start off the new season with a rant but I think it needs to be said. It’s a few weeks out from the beginning of a new season with many clubs scrambling to get the funds and members to give another season a go. The lack of promotion or any sort of social media from the AUL is shocking. I’m sick to death of seeing photos from games 30 years ago. Any chance of a bit of strategy for the future and a bit of promotion for the current clubs. Say what you want about the quality of the CBL, at least they support the teams that make up their league.
That’s a great idea latte, pity it wasn’t said before tonight I would have relayed it at the meeting tonight.
St Mary’s and Rockmount are also north side clubs they just play outside the old city bounds. It’s down to hard work within Castleview that they are getting their all weather up and running.
I would presume the boys with grattan b/ Castleview b would want to 1st division rather going back over what they have achieved in the past 2 or 3 years.
Well done to Castleview too for supporting something that is a proven good thing with that bunch of lads
Just seen on facebook on villages page that they’re having a family fun day to help out with funds for the club and I think thats a very good idea if that community supports it and weather permitting but if a success more teams should take from that and atleast try it themselves before the start of the season
Totally agree with your post latte must say enough is enough all theses pictures and a lot of theses club they have pictures up of or gone Senior league Aul website miles behind everyone else for years you could go in on Thursday 6 o clock see fixtures for following week your lucky now if there up on a Friday said it months ago young blood needed in Aul committee let’s see how long it takes this season for FAI connect to cause problems cause it only took second game of season last years for problems to start clubs were told start of last season in be in full flow start of season this year I’d say we’d have better chance of Ucc starting season same time as everyone else this year haha
Its going to be a huge problem with clubs who haven't done their business.
AUL never promoted it the way other leagues have.
Take for example if you had 2 teams - Village v Donoughmore.
Village win 2 nil but Village didn't put up a team and Donoughmore did. Very same as not handing the referee a match card. Donoughmore could appeal. AUL prob reject it. Donoughmore to to MFA. Donoughmore win. AUL wouldn't care, waste of everyone's time.
Can see that type of scenario unfolding if it's not done correctly.
the app is the easiest thing in the world to use, miles handier than filling out a card. amazed there was problems with it last year.
Have they committed to using it this year?
A lot of hearsay going on lads ye are assuming this and that,speak to your club delegate they will inform you what’s going on.
Meeting last night set out the plan for the season.
App being used like anything some clubs will have teething problems others won’t a physical match card can be used on the off chance there is ever a problem
Somethings need to be clarified with the FAI Connect Team as some clubs unsure of how to add players to match cards in certain circumstances.
Nothing major no drama all will workout just fine.
Fruice hopefully your right but league starts around 3 week of Aug I’ll give it till second week in sept and you can bet you’ll hear plenty of issue by then
The app has to be used by all leagues across te country. If the AUL say we can use paper cards instead then they are wrong and bad practice. Wouldn't stand up in front of MFA of FAI.
There has been several FAI Connect Webinars. Any team who can't use this are lazy ***** who didn't go. They will be the first people to blame FAI, league, etc.
You can search a player on the app, anyone in the country can and it tells you what club they are registered with. For AUL to end the season like that was bad and I hope they improve.
I really think it's the worst run league in the country.
It will only get worse I reckon the farce coming to end of season with Aul trying to convince Grattan they were wrong and Aul ending up with egg on their face and not one of committee contacted Grattan to say they were wrong just shows you what clubs or dealing with and as I stated 5 months ago change of Chairman this year all I can say to clubs is best of luck going to them meeting if you have player sent off wasting your time explaining yourself better off not going cause as your speaking that man will be writing out your 50 euro fine
Ye are only taking what ye want from what ye are told.
The AUL are telling clubs to use the app we have used it, it’s simple a few finicky things with it but practice sorts that.
The option of a match card is if a club is in difficulty this on the clubs not the AUL.
Any fault is with the clubs not the AUL.
The main man in the AUL can't use the connect website. He's absolutely clueless with it. I can't believe there's people on here still backing up the AUL, they're a joke and have been for years.
Every other league In Cork is progressing and adding teams/clubs. The AUL are losing them, in 2001 there was 100+ teams now there's what 35+. There's 2 common denominators there in all that time MC & TF. Get rid before the league is gone altogether.
Fruice, are you for real? Conlon limited access for all teams. He has to open it this year.
Match card is not a thing anymore and if used is the AULs fault. Referees are told it's App, they did the training too.
How did he limit it?Quote:

Match cards are still used in other leagues.
What other leagues?
The cork women’s league are all match cards so are the school boys.
Grattan need more than a few ffs??coachford will be fighting for the league with watergrasshill ..knocka where ment fold sure ffs back training and will be as dangerous as alll teams this year last year the didn't train o obviously the didn't finish well ...Ross is doing great job already lads are actually wanting to train few new face aswell ..going be cracking season look forward to it best luck to alll..ans it's all our Notting for Grattan that the b team are gone ,Quote:

It's going to be some league. UCC and, I heard, but can't confirm, City Wanderers are strong.
The Aul hasnt been this competitive at the top for Years a small bit of advertising to create a fuss about it would be great. All eyes will be on that Premier Division
How did Glenthorn fair after the damage done to their gear and container.
I know they didn’t get near their hoped go fund me target but I read they got donations outside of this.
Thankfully they're in a fantastic position with new Councol dressing rooms on way outside of funding. All equipment sponsored. They have a very promising year ahead, must be exciting. Best thing to happen them.
Knocka and Glenthorn be an interesting Premier A battle if both sides tie down players.
A lad in work told me there that Graham Murphy is after signing for village united that is a great signing if true
I'm hearing that it isn't all rosey in the garden up in knocka as WHO is saying
That’s a north side dream team up in village.Quote:
