Good wins today for glen and glenthorn and blarney street.only getting to see this now . Glen should be OK with their tie up with abtran and the new management thats takeing over as well. Glenthorn motoring well too as are bohs. But even at this early stage coachford the team to beat.
Surprised blarney street haven’t been winning games by more. Lots of people called for them to go In at a higher level.Quote:

I would agree with you there but with such a big squad I think there probably giveing all players a run.when they get there ist choice 11 sorted i think results will be far more impressive..same applies to glenthorn when they gellQuote:

Only going on what is being said from within the camp.a bluffer was the word used.Quote:

Well a buffer who's team has 12 out of 12 is ok in my oppinion . Winning and putting points on the league table is what its all about.plenty of buffers around who can't buy a win chief scout in fairness.. only problem i see at blarney street is keeping all the players happy in that group.
Have heard that its been best team available so far and no variation. Which id agree with you just cant leave the likes of king cambridge butt on the bench for the weaker players who are the subs.Quote:

Great to see them back in football .A plus for the aul with all the teams that have gone.yes you could argue that maybe they should have been put in div 1 ..but that didn't happen . I also think that as season goes on they will get better and will beat teams in divisions above them.
Any report on call centre fc v grattan yesterday?Quote:

Not an attack on them just an opinion but teams like this are exactly why the AUL is in such demise. Clubs are forever keeping a team together to fulfil fixtures and league campaigns trying to build and when the going gets tough, these teams take a "break" for a few years instead of gritting there teeth and struggling on. Packing a team then for a year or two's success, the AUL is finished any club left with an underage structure will soon leave for MSL as wellQuote:

The Thomson's put there heart and soul into that club let's be fair and had a good club for over 20 years that deserves some credit ..but I do agree with most of what you say...but come on founded by the family chaired by father then son the daughter had a roll at one stage and 2 Thompson s are players / turned refs no recognition for ther contribution to cork football .Quote:

It's a testament to the gaa when it comes to transfers to other clubs, hence the loyalty. The lads that do play GAA will always go back and play with teams from there roots. No such thing in soccer which is sad to see especially when majority of players grew up getting great service and guidance from.a club only for fellas to turn there heads every second season. Something has to be doneQuote:

Anyone here of any clubs folding ? From games I have seen most teams seem to have good numbers.
I see a few have moved from glen celtic alright over the past week or 2 but they will gain a few numbers with their amalgamation with abtran.you will always have a few deadline transfers ,those fellas not getting a run might decide to move on especially clubs with big numbersQuote:

Sparky has brought in a few quality players a core of players from knocknaheeny and glen will make them very strong. But best performance ive seen so far this year is city wanderers game v coachford which was some win for coachford.

Add in the Graham murph to that as well as the rest, straight shoot out between them and coachford In my useless opinion.
Bohemians if they avoid injuries could be the dark horses in that league, some good additions and very good fitness levels. Great start to the season too, points on the board.
I won’t argue with that. Good side and will be hard to beat in the Fairfield.Quote:

Strange one davey.momentum means a lot and its unusual to have 2 week break now.
September 17th to 10th of october is the gap between games. Dinosaurs running this organisation
Always the same.
2 weeks is a bit much, but couple were looking for games this weekend could of played them. I know friendly is not the same as a game but it’s better then nothingQuote:

Pick of the games to be fair, might take in glenthorn haven’t seen them play this season and sunday trip to the farm, ucc look to be a good side.Quote:

Thats the game too head too alright. Grattan will bounce back from last week i reckon. Dont see many shocks in them fixtures.Quote:
