two interesting semi finals you would expect wilton to beat carrigtwohill to face killumney and then leeside kinsale couldnt predict them two games i think...i think two legs are a joke is well one off game is a way better..
Should never expect anything in a one off cup game sharpshooter.........
Watched Kinsale last week in the Mossie thought they were well worth the win....On AOH QF tho i think if Alan Greaney of Kilreen can play like we all know he can he can bag a few goals against Kinsale. Also Wayne (Pooh) Dunlea formerly of Ballyphehane Celtic and last season Casement Celtic Senior team is back the past few games to tighten up the back four so they'll be hard to break down id go as far as saying he's the best Centre Back in the AUL...........Shock of the week i reckon...
good call must say!!

Looking at today's tables, the Premier A promotion race looks like Greenwood have it in their own hands to get promoted and Killumney even with all those games to play look like favourites with Boh's losing to Pearse certainly not helping their cause. Glenthorn beating Village have given themselves a chance and Castleview beating Blackstone was a big result effectively ending Blackstone's chances of going up.
In the Premier, Grattan look like they could be joined by one from Knockavilla, Ballyvolane and Park although do nt think Park will be down there at the end. Any opinions on who's to go, big defeat for Ballyvolane this week end whats their camp like at the moment. The express train in Little Island motors on, huge game for Leeside next week against Kinsale, win that and its hard to see them being caught.
First weekend back refereeing in nine months on Saturday and Sunday.
First game was a Division 5 Men's all ages with unlimited rolling subs. Handled it quite well for first game back. Some might say i let a lot go, I say I let the game run. It was a very physical game but alot was 50/50 and honest challenges. One player questioned the physicality of the game and I said I had control, if I felt it would boil over I was in position to handle it.
I spoke to the players prior to the game, informed them that I was Irish, they might struggle to understand me, but ask me to repeat at any time. Told them if they had any questions to direct them through their captain and I would listen. Said I welcomed all opinions after the game. Had only three key issues to deal. During a kick out I approached a player and asked him to keep his hands down, he asked me to book him. I said i wasn't wasting a booking on him.
There was two shouts for a penalty. First one was a strong claim but there was no gusto behind the shout. Players chasing the ball to the end line inside the 18 yard box, one player from my view, I was 10 metres inside the half and directly behind it. i saw the attacking player run directly across the defender and they tangled. From the angle I had I could see run change and make the decision of no penalty but if I had been at a different angle I would missed the change of direction of the attacker and would've prob given the penalty.
The second shout, my positioning wasn't exceptional. My vision of the ball wasn't clear but going on instinct I judged the player to have thrown himself down under the tackle. Again the appeals were half hearted so that was clarification i got the right call.
I was meant to be assessed so referee association could rank me to their system. My assessor went home at half time.
On the subject of rolling subs, I see the value of it, players are fitter, stronger but I am not in favour of it. Too hard to manage. Its meant to be three same rolling players out of five without agreement.
An hour into the game with the intense heat was tough. If you asked me which team was which or to point which direction a line ball was to go I would've struggled due to dehydration and lack of fitness. Didn't have that problem Sunday I was filled to the brim with water.
Second game was a women's game, division one. Very high standard. I thought it was going to be a disaster both teams togged out in red. Bohs/Shels respectively. The goalkeepers had green and yellow kits. In my bag, I had a black, a yellow and a green jersey. So everyone clashed somewhere. In the end, I had to tog out in my Evening Echo sponsored Cork branch grey kit.
Neither team would accept responsibility for changing kits so I played the game. The clashes mattered little in the end. Biggest stats from the game was eight foul throws and a keeper who dropped the ball and picked up again to "restart her six seconds". I had no choice but to blow to correct her and award an indirect free kick.
The women's game was technically better than the previous game and I wonder if there are rules on women's nails that sit alongside with rings and chains. One player got a bad scrawl across the face from a trailing hand.
The card count for the weekend is 0, the brawl count for the weekend is 0.
On a side note, the teams send in their own team sheets. There is no cash exchange at the games instead the teams are billed in May for April's games and i get a lump sum in June which is really good.
Over here we are not locked to one league, we referee all grades and all levels except what would be MSL level.
This weekend I am nervous. I am refereeing and verbally punching above my weight. I am refereeing the equivilant of AUL Premier Division and its no exaggeration to say it is on par with Leeside v Kinsale. I have volunteered to referee a smaller level game in the morning before it as a pre test and to warm up.
Three games this weekend. Schools game in the morning, the big one Saturday afternoon and on Sunday refereeing Division one of the Asian League, which will be fun with a Cork accent.
One referee at the weekend here, abandoned his game after 27 minutes due to abuse from the home team. Captain called him a ****ing cheat so not sure if it was the referee or the teams, I not sure but he got fair stick at the meeting tonight for calling it off.
Trouble just wondering seeing as you have so much interest in bohs if you feel the addition of Littleman to your management team has had a positive or negative effect on the teams performance ?
no disrespect ment owl just think wilton will be too strong..Quote:

I've watched quite a few games (mostly underage games) and I am shocked that in almost all the games I've seen when the final whistle went both teams walked away from each other to their respective dugouts - no handshakes nothing - yes an odd player or two (sometimes). No "queue" of players to shake the referee's hand - what has happened??? And it is definitely both teams (i.e. not just the home side so I'm only mentioning Douglas Hall as that's where I see most games) By the time the away team does whatever (grab gear I guess) and comes back across the pitch the home side are typically gone as well.
I may not have got on with everyone I played against and I've had my fair few rows on the pitch, but it would never have left me to not shake hands with as many opposition players as possible and if the home side mentions a local bar for grub or just to consider supporting unless I was very pressed I'd always make the effort.
I trained an underage team before and if I saw them walking off without shaking hands with opposition and ref - I'd blow a fuse in the dressing room with them. Now I know you'll always get the odd player in the odd match where they storm off, but both teams...
Am I missing something here do both sides meet up to secretly shake hands in the dressing-rooms?
Seperate note - All the best to Innishvilla in their Saxone cup final against Churchvilla this weekend and also in their push for the clubs first league title (achieved promotion a few times but always as league runners up). 5 games left 10 points guarantees title.
Dixie as being Bohs player i might be able to help ya with that question Gavin came in a couple of weeks ago and has had a very positive effect on the team mainly on the training side of things but has helped on the pitch with tactics aswell on a bad run at the moment due to injuries and suspensions but we ll come good again hopefully tomorrow night against KillumneyQuote:

Should be an interesting chase for Kinsale, Leeside really setting a strong gallop towards the title, its always better to have points on board. Leeside vs kinsale should be a cracker. If Leeside win that, my prediction of a Kinsale title could be struggling!

Id swear I am posting and they are disapeering!
I didnt make the game last weekend but we got what we deserved is the common opinion. We had a poor first half, but went in 1-1.
Second half we were better and are disapointed in the winner. We had our chances, including two good ones. they could have nicked another too.
A different Castleview side with the Youths team involved. Good side by all accounts. A few Castleview fans had an away win at 3/1 with Cashmans too I believe.
Padjoe, great review from the whistle's point of view again but I am struggling to understand your point about the Ref having to stay wrong to not show weakness.(This was mentioned in a previous post).
The game at the weekend blew our very slim chance of being the team to pick up the pieces if any of the top three imploded. Even 2 wins against Kilumney wont get us up there.
A win for Castleview tonight puts Village in a lot of bother. Otherwise, they have 2 games V Leeds which will decide a lot.
Knockavilla Celtic 0 Blarney St Ath 4
Good solid win for us on Saturday after a dissapointing loss the week before. Pitch was a bit bobbly and wind was bad on the mountain!! :-) Started well and the two Garys upfront were linking very well. 10 m in should had had a spotter , Nolan rounded their left back then the centre half who took him down, no spotter??? Took the lead from agreat run from Babsy up the pitch who beat 2/3 and finished cooly, Got a spotter with 20 gone, made it two nil. A one to between Gary Coughlan and Gary Nolan , ball was squared and Larry Betts met it with a back heel!! Could have got 1 or 2 more before the half but keeper made a few saves. "nd half Knockavilla were a lot better ,came at us and created 1 0r 2 half chances. Danny q came on with 5 to go and would ya believe it scored from the rebound of a Shane Sull free kick. 4 nil .
On to Tuesday night away to Grattan, a Derby game that I know for sure a few up in O'Neill Pk are looking forward too. Well I can tell them were are too. local rivalleries are great and an extra incentive to win. 6 o Clock kick off so very tight for players managers and others to make but if there was anywhere we could have asked for it was O Neill Pk its closer than or own pitch :-)

looks like killumney have taken another step towards promotion with a 6-0 with over bohs.what happened ye scaffa?
Just saw there on Billy Lyons site that park won in Leeside 2-1. Kinsale beat Coachford 1-0. If Leeside do not beat Kinsale on Saturday looks like Kinsale will win it again.
I wonder if Leeside were more focused on Kinsale than they were on Park
killumney 6 - 0 Bohemians
Jesus what can i say..... kick off at 6 o clock down in Killeady ridiculous really such a big a game for us had 6 players at the dressing room at 5:45 had 10 players on the pitch at 6 and the eleventh player just got on the pitch just when the ball kicked off so no warm up or team talk just straight into the match Killumney warming up half an hour before the game but look im not saying we would have beat them but considering wer playin Greenwood Saturday at home it beggers belief why these matches could nt have been switched common sense really .I know a lot of others teams will have the same problem but its not rocket science..........
On the game we got battered they led 4 nil at the break and could of been more got another 2 goals in the 2 nd half but this game was finished well before the 2nd half started....... fair play to them a very strong side dissapointed really started so well in this league but now need a miracle to get out of it but we"ll soldier on and another big game saturday should have our full team back so hopefully a big improvement from tonights disaster
Kinsale 1 Coachford 0 was at the game tonight it was very tricky conditions for the players tonight with the wind and rain, it was a good game to watch in the first half Kinsale had the better of the chances and had a few chances that on another night would have gone in, Derek mc scored the winner in the second half and Kinsale should have had a second only for the ref to blow for offside which for me was the wrong decision.Despite the speculation on here Coachford had 18 players tonight dont think there was any first team players missing for them.
"Padjoe, great review from the whistle's point of view again but I am struggling to understand your point about the Ref having to stay wrong to not show weakness.(This was mentioned in a previous post)."
Sorry horse.. it was too much of a sweeping statement. Obviously if you are wrong, you are wrong. I can walk up to a player at the end of the game and say sorry if i was too slow to blow for this call or if i left this go
But i do think in certain situations such as an offside where you can't go back on your decision because it creates doubt in all the players minds.
Hold your hand up after a game and take the criticism. But just in the game when it's live you can't you lose the confidence of everyone.
Where by i maybe give a call the wrong way i would change that immediately etc.
Grattan A 0 Blarney St Ath 4
Good result on a terrible pitch and tough conditions. Said we would meet for half 5 up there and im fairness all the lads made it up on time. Gratts maybe started the better. We knew they would be up for it with it been a derby and so but we soon settled down and got used to the gale that was blowning in on top of us. Really should have scored froma good bit of trickery on the right by Gary Nolan who pulled a ball across the goal line, how it stayed out i do not know??? took the lead from a well weighted through ball from Jp to Gary Nolan who finished to make in 1 nil on about 25 mins. 2nd came from a corner that was poked home by Gary Coughlan. 2 nil half time. Gratts again started the better and opened us up down our left ball was crossed over to there left winger whos shot was saved. Simon Deady was getting passed there right back on most occasions and eventually was fouled for a spotter, I stepped up to make it 3 nil. game knida fizzled out then as a contest we probably should had got onther spotter and hit the post too, Last 5 mins a ball over the top was met by Jp who finished calmly for 4 nil.
Onwards to Sat vs Coachford, christ we owe them one!! We have met 3 times this year and they seem to have the voodoo over us, 1 nil twice and 2-1 the other with all 4 goals against com ing in the last 10 mins!!
Shocked to be honest at a few results tonight!! Park fairplay got a great result which the badly needed against a leeside side that have been going strong.
Good old Derek Mc again pulled Kinsale out of it, by god they know how to gring out results and in Mac no better buachaill to get 1 when u need it.
Wilton aint given up yet and all 3 of those mentioned above are still in the Aoh along with Carraigtwhohill and Kilumney who put 6 past Bohs.
Catleview with another good reult and on that point I wish there U-18s the best of luck in the QF of the national Cup this weekend
Kinsale 1 Coachford 0
Bad night for a game down by the seaside, wet and windy but despite that we got the ball down and enjoyed the majority of possession from what i saw of it skippy. Kinsale do what they do best soaked it up and Derek Mac does what he does best pops up in the right place at the right time, disapointing goal to give away from our point of view. Other than that they had a header go over from a goalmouth scramble in the first half cant recall us being under too much pressure other than that only at the end when we pushed bodies forward. We had alot of set pieces but did nt take advantage of any of them. Kinsale big and strong as usual very difficult to score against them down in that tight pitch, fancy Leeside to take 3 points if they have everyone fit to bounce back after last nite.
Missing 4 first team players skippy but we ve good players in the squad well able to play in every position, John Hogan, Noel Sullivan unable to make it, both Ken Hogan and Rob O Keeffe togged out but are carrying injuries so were never going to play a part.
As their league position would suggest, Coachford are a good side.
They were hard to break down and will give everyone a tough game.
We never got a soft game from them before and didn't expect one last night.
Nobody will have a full squad to pick from for the rest of the season in my opinion, so strength in depth is very important.
We were short last night also, but managed fine in my opinion.
Looking forward to the game on saturday.
It's always a good game between ourselves and Leeside.

Everyone on here knows who you are trouble - the messages you write on here are as hard to understand as the texts you send the bohs players! also is it any coincidence that when the Bohs managers computer was broken you didnt post anything?
Best of luck to our neighbours Innishvilla in their upcoming final at Turners Cross.
A progressive club, who have been doing the business off the pitch for a while now, and are now doing it on the pitch.
Definitely an example to us all :ball:
Look "Trouble" whoever you are have nt heard any rumours i think he was asked alright but every cat and dog in the Knocknaheeny area playin soccer knows this.....And to be fair to him if he does go i for one will hold no grudges against the man hes been a long servant to Bohs for the last 14/15 won 2 leagues and got to numerous semi finals with us so the best of luck to him if he does remember no man is bigger than the club so Bohs will hopefully go on and get stronger ................ still in with a shout for promotion this year even if it is a long shotQuote:
