Quiet last few days, good games on at the weekend what are the predictions
Welcome back Rossum I be honest I was staying quite cause when I speak I feel like yer all picking on me I’ll be heading to Grattan park tomorrow wife and kids going shopping I have afternoon to Myself can’t see nothing else but win for homeside Desmond’ and buddies still playing hurling so can’t see them starting.
Hill have Grattan today and UCC next week if I’m not mistaken, imagine their league hopes could be over by then and back to maybe a 2 horse race between the usuals again. They’ll be haunted if they get their hurlers back for the Mossie annd AOH fixtures. Interested to see how some of our Aul teams fair out in the FAI Cup. Hopefully a few teams can move out of the Cork section and represent the AUL. Village and Carrigaline has making of a good game village at home and will have some momentum from winning previous games.
Watched the village game today, they looked very good against a very good Carrigaline side. Dominated the game for nearly the entire 90. They look alot better shape then they did at the start of the season. Be interesting to see how progress from here in the cups. I'd say the league will be a grattan coachford 2 horse race though.
Villages start definitely put them out of the race early, they could still be a good way off the lads for all we know but they have looked more than convincing against the MJL premier sides, entire starting 11 and subs looked like they were a level above carrigaline while ago
The slides were priceless.
Dunlea runs a great show in fairness.
Ya have to make the best out of what ya have an he dose that in spades.
And you can only beat in any game what's in front of you with what you have.
Well done Village.
Did that same carrigaline side not hammer grattan in the last round?Quote:

Totally agree. If Aul teams were being battered then fellas b givin out too there’s no winning here. Great win for Village. Hibs also beat UCC on penos so another good result.Quote:

Ah come off the stage Rossum ye got the job done credit where it’s due but Blackstone rovers would of bate that Watergrasshill line up ye played well at times but I wouldn’t be writing home about it.
Rossum , ur worse to even react.
Grattan got the job done end of
Gavin Paul jason what ever your name is relax boy just about opinions I said they got job done you can only beat what’s in front of you but watching that watergrasshill team yesterday any decent team in Premier would of beat um but they got points that’s the main thing.
John Paul even at his age is a nightmare striker for anyone to play against, very crafty intelligent player
There's a few lads at grattan that prove the old saying form is temporary but class is permanent. They beat watergrasshill hill well and the fact they put GAA above football is watergrasshill hills issue and nobody else's. Big win for the gratts regardless.
Like iv always said Ref, you make us all giggle.
€1 million secured for two Astros up in Castleview.
A huge boost for both The AUL and Castleview.
You would hope all things going well they will be in action for this time next year.
Absolutely brilliant for Castleview. The AUL will be gone within 3 years and Castleview will have 2 gorgeous Astros. Nice memorial to the AUL.Quote:

Id imagine they would, charging cheaper than mayfield and others would generate money to pay the billsQuote:

They would prob have a price cap for aul teams so games don’t get called offQuote:

Clare District League
Kerry District League
Limerick District league
Oscar Traynor Trophy Group B
Munster Senior League
Cork Business League
Waterford & District Junior League
Best decision the Aul has made was to not put a team in.
Had they been in the second group they would have went through, battered in the second round however
Many moons ago when I was involved with the Oscar with Aul every player on panel was a very good footballers in his own right the squad was very strong looking at leagues now I can honestly say you’d struggle to find 20 very good players
I don't agree with you very often but ill have to agree with you on this point, the standard and quality of player's isn't the best I'd say you will be lucky to pick 10 player's out and after that you are really scraping the barrelQuote:

Chance to compete with other Cork leagues and other opposition should have been taken. Only one team can win anything.
There is potential in AUL to have had a good squad this year to compete for popints v CBL & MSL and take on the challenge of Waterford. Get out of group then would have kept attention and feel good factor going.
Goodman fish play teams in cork enter them competitions to get a day out not in tensions of winning um the point I’m making is to enter Oscar the manager of team should at least have 20 plus strong players in squad lookin across the Aul you might get 4/5 from coachford 1 from Grattan Bulman personally for me and Iv being here a long long time you’d struggle after that it’s only my opinion the rest of players or bang average
The standard of football has changed at every level not just AUL. Some fellas playing senior these days that wouldn’t have got a look in at junior a few years ago. Young fellas not playing football on the streets anymore with their pals. It’s only worse it’s gonna get. Fellas will be fitter and stronger maybe but actual ballers will be a dying breed.
True story latte kids playing football on the streets gone out the window all stuck to bedrooms now playing x-box and dressing up as girls doing Tik-Toks
Completely agree with you here, I've been saying for years that the standards of each league are dropping off so far;Quote:

The business league is the equivalent of the old night owls leagues. Well run with some fantastic players along with some awful players.
It's crazy considering the FAI put "new pathways" in place to ensure the survival of grassroots football. But young fellas these days care more about the gym and social media than playing ball. When I was young many moons ago I had a football in my hand from morning to night during the summer. Now you can walk past the Fairfield, Pophams, The Glen Park, Kilmore Road on a fine Summers Day and there's not a group of lads playing ball anywhere. It's sad to see such a decline in street football. The best players in the world developed on the streets.
You hit the nail on the head right there . Its hard enough for clubs to get a team out training twice a week theses days without throwing in extra training for the AUL team . I dont think the interest is there from players to play in it so for once I am going to agree with the AUL on not entering a team in the Oscar TraynorQuote:

Definitely well run but bar 1 very good team in the cow the business league was rubbish then and its even worse now.
Is this all said because the cork aul failed to even try out a Oscar traynor team...my opinion off course there's a good enough team out off castleview grattan coachford..Knocka village and there's surly few more teams like watergrasshill the like Desmond ffs there's..no harm in trying and having some interest cork aul that's y it's gone to the dogs because it's thrown to the dogs the last few years ...there surely interest when the like luke casey comes back and playing in aul is he not good enough for Oscar traynor lads it utter laziness is what it is
