Fair enough - I had been preparing a different reply. I'd agree with you on that front just looking at the three that have moved MSL, Kinsale Leeside & Wilton are all looking MSL 2nd maybe 1st division teams a bit away from Premier...Quote:

out of 36 teams getting to out of town: AUL 26, MJL 10.
At this moment, Grattan should be playing their future home games at Knocknaheeny Celtic's pitch due to construction going on at O'Neil park.
We play host to Innishvilla this Saturday and we cannot wait. Kick off at 2pm.
If we get the go ahead to play at O'Neill park for one more week, I will post it.

Is there anychance we can open another thread here and call it the glen celtic thread..1fortheteam you dont half hop on about them...i wont get into all the negative things that surround your club because it has all been said before and I dont have time tp type everything.....i take nothing away from what the glen did last season as I was on here singing your praises but the fact is ye were playing in a brutal league and won a few lower graded cups....come on here when the club wins a few premier leagues and aohs and people will respect you..im sure the lads playing with the glen would also appreciate if you stop all the silly comments you make in relation to them being better than barcelona as all you are doing is preparing them for an almighty fall and they deserve better than that...they are a good team with good players they are not what you make them out to be so just give it a break would ya and let this forum get back to what it was doing before ye won a couple of lower league trophies
when is the open draw for the fai junior cup?
After the 4th round..Your into the last 64Quote:

luck plays a part in all sport and you need it .but the ref has his job to do aswell.and i dont know about the cork refs when you draw the big guns it seems our refs go out of their way to show we do thing by the book .its the other way round when our teams go away.just my take on it.looking at the draw the aul will have 4 going forward and anything after is a bonus.
Obviously the refs can't take the blame for all the times cork teams are beaten at home in the fai junior as much as we would like to blame them. The facts are that a lot of the Dublin Waterford limerick and tipp teams don't have competition from other leagues for players therefore having the strongest team possible.in cork we have the msl Mjl and aul all taking players from eachother if there was one league then we might see a cork team lift the fai junior againQuote:
