Very true and a great point. Knocknaheeny come and go like a fart in the wind; as soon as it gets hard, they're gone. Paying players won't help close the gap either. I'm sure Grattan will be fine; they always are, to give them credit where it's due.
Transfer season should be closed before a ball is kicked.
Evidence is the Northside training with 3 or 4 teams. Knocka Tuesday, Castleview Wednesday, Grattan Thursday, game with Temple Friday, and sign for Cathedral.
Apologies lads, the lad in work just laughed into my face when I was talking about Kaka to village, I’ve been hoodwinked
Average Joe , castleview play the cow tomorrow not sure what time think it’s in mayfield school not sure,might go myself see whos there.
Kaka to village would have been very good for the league with Nathan B going to knocka Also.
Hearing few mental story’s alright about players going and coming just between northside teams looking forward to the league I must say good bit of fixtures and hopefully draws big crowds like it did couple of years ago with them all back in premier.
And for the coffee truck in village to make a few pound ha ha ha
Theses rumours or mental last night said Daniels stepping away from Knocka for personal reason pinting in topster earlier heard Grattan put offer on table to him surely he can’t go to enemy have to love silly time
Doolans Cow 7-2 Castleview. A masterclass in finishing from the Cow ,Tony O Reilly with 4 goals. Just the 1 for Jamie Murphy. Overall Cow were better than the View, took their chances, they have more firepower than Castleview and that was without Aaron Hennessy. Podge came on second half and Adam Lee played the full 90. Paul Koffi in centre midfield for Doolans Cow was excellent against McGee and Danny Donoghue. The link up play from O Reilly and Murphy was great to watch. Take nothing away was only a friendly and a run out, but was a feisty affair at times.
Was at it . Cow didn’t come out of second gear . Strong all over the pitch. Hopefully Adam Lee won’t stay with Castleview he is far to good for themQuote:

Any news of a start date for the season? Great to see the AUL social media buzzing getting people excited for what’s ahead.
Agreed buster, the Cow strong all over the pitch and upped the tempo when they needed too. Adam Lee was starved of service, looks a lot fitter. Be interesting to see who he signs for.
Must agree Adam looked a lot fitter but my opinion is Adam needs to be playing with footballing side Grattan style of play doesn’t suit Lee he has good football brain but what I’m hearing is he struggles for training over work and Grattan not to pushed if he trains or not
Season starts Tuesday August 19thQuote:

I couldn’t imagine that would happen unless they come across to the AUL completely.
They will be in FAI junior cup and Munster Junior Cup but not the AULs own flagship tournament surely.

Why so? You would assume they would be very competitive with the result over the weekend (friendly I know) and the players they have.Quote:

Village sending in complaint to stop Jamie Murphy playing for Cow. Too many transfers to one team. Len not happy. That would be a blow to the Shipping League.

It’s irrelevant there is nothing in the rule book to stop it happening.
Sounds like pub talk.
You can only do 3 unless you've other clubs permission. They've the backing of league. Fair play.
What’s going on with Grattan when it rains it pours Castleview lad working with me said Grattan had to pull training again tonight no numbers so 1 or 2 going training with them between Castleview Knocka and temple I’m hearing their all chasing Adam Lee
Village signed 4 Doolans Cow players last season. There is nothing in the rule book that says anything to back up your claim. Seems a bit of stirring the pot from you, knowing Leonard i dont think he would do something like that and lastly what they gonna do force Jamie to play with them?Quote:

But it’s the off season.Quote:

They may or may not follow through but the AUL are advising as it's The Shipping League. Seem to be quite threatened with what's going on over there.
Thats why I said effectively.Quote:

But it’s relatively easy for player to transfer their registration
Where is this rule on a limit of 3 players in the “current season “coming from.
And most importantly define “current season”
Either way it’s only a delaying tactic as one way or another he will be playing for the COW in the near future
This window is this season.
He will be at Doolans, it will come to nothing in end as too much hassle.
Any more news on new teams or teams leaving? Great to see there seems to be an appetite back in the county for ball. A couple of years ago it wasn't looking great. Sullane should be a good addition, great to see a team from mallow town getting involved too, a very young side I believe. Los zarcos and imogeela having a bit of success the past couple seasons gets fellas wanting to get involved, hopefully their second teams can compete in division 3.
Hearing the Knocka bubble could be bursting hearing 3 maybe 4 players being tapped up by msl teams Leonard Healy and Chris they be in big trouble if this true
Every player in cork is tapped up at some point over the summer ffs 🤦Quote:

Interesting some of the new rule changes; I like the one on goal keeper timewasting / 8 sec rule.
Fair play for AUL for raising awareness on the new rules.

90 mins in the rain watching the worse Grattan line out in years very very poor
Harsh I’m not doing another year of you stirring the other stuff, first pre season game a mix of both teams and over 7 first team players awayQuote:

Honestly I watched the grattan game to , poor game but there first game back after a struggling start with no manager and lots of players missing and away , Also hearing Adam Lee will be hard kept with grattan if he’s fit and looked it recently but was a no show today..
Is that telling us something
He is on holidays
Not like him to be on holidays ha ha
Any fixtures for the next few days?
Grattan have a habit of being light on numbers and still somehow managing to piece it together to be competitive ( vs everyone outside of Coachford)
They have a core of really good older players who are generally reliable.
Grattan are a nice club, a lot of clubs would like to have done as well as Grattan over the decades and i`d hope/expect they will get it right.
On a seperate note their is still no sign of the sections being confirmed by the AUL with the league starting in a few weeks. you would expect the sections to be out well before the fixtures are announced it seems that may as well happen at the same time this year. As mentioned previously teams could be organising friendlies for the next couple of weeks against teams they play in the league a week or two later. It`s not ideal
Don’t understand why they haven’t sections out already miles behind already
