only to be told with a few games remaining that another round will be played??
So I would say both are guilty of making it up as they go along.
In terms of facilities and quality of pitch there's no contest,
In terms of referees same again
I realise that the refs change every year n blablabla but you would be a fool to think the aul don't possess some of the worst refs in cork.
Again there are exceptions but I'm mainly talking of the sheer number of poor quality referees in the league.
Probably more prevalent in lower divisions.
Player wise
There's players throughout aul divisions who could play in the Msl not a bother to them and I'm sure Msl teams would welcome them with open arms.
If your good enough any club will be glad to have ya.
Having experienced Msl,mjl and aul first hand I suppose it all comes down to preference for each player in what he's looking for, balancing work commitments and family.
I have to say there's something about the aul that just brings out the romantic side of soccer IMO.
The banter you get at matches I have yet to see at msl.(which i find takes itself so serious it almost sucks the fun out of the game).
Its amateur soccer at the end of the day no matter how you dress it up.
In conclusion Msl prem is the pinnacle in cork soccer though there's no doubt about it ,
If your a player with ambition that's where your ultimately aiming to get too which should worry the aul but being so far behind now its high on possible to catch up without huge investment IMO.
Where does the card and registration money go to can anyone enlighten me??
the friendly rule the best one to date the aul have simple heads running it i played a friendly a number of weeks back and had a shouting match with a ref and the little f.e.c.k.e.r got me 4 match ban and 50 bucks fine in a friendly !!! and on top of that the aul picks that biggest 4 game of the season to ban me
Why is it up to the opposition to spot ilegal players's and not the aul ??? Who have all match cards and player reg . Just a random question does anyone know the reason or thinking behind it ?
I don't know Horse, we playing Killumney last season in a friendly and beat them 2-1 easily. Now that was a long time ago and a friendly but i would say first division MSL and Premier AUL would be on parQuote:

This obviously changes season to season with players and managers coming and going.
You have played both Sharpshooter which did you find easier to play in?
None are easy to play in but i do think that the standard of football is better and more competitive in the msl no easy games with the exception of the odd one or two.and that's just the football.pitches and faciltys are top notch also.Quote:

just a comment on an ex club hubba and i dont have to go back lad im happy as i am sure we all be re-united soon anyway ;).better to post on what you know as i only do and not make up hubbs .Quote:

There's no doubt that the better facilities + pitches are in the MSL but there has to be a competitive edge to the league your playing in as well. Is the MSL premier competitive in terms of teams chasing honours? I don't think so. Only interesting thing about that is the relegation.Quote:

Our game was a good un I thought until the ref ruined it......how did you manage to upset him??? You've some cracking players there, have to be honest I was glad to see Steve Kidney on the bench.....always causes us problems.
I reckon you still have a great chance of second.....although so do we ;-)
I totally agree with Donnie well posted I think everyone will agree with itQuote:

Great post Donnie
That's harsh hubba castleview is a senior club which provides players to that team and if the junior team has players good enough to play senior that's we're they go when you have a team in the msl that's your main priority
How Hubba?
Dixie, I was comparing Junior First Divisions!! in response to 2words post. Comparison proof is there for us to see I suppose though the three teams who went to Div 2 changed a bit. They are holding their own to a degree with Wilton looking like they will be Div 1 next year. MSL is intermediate football so it's next level up to junior and its clubs that move not really the team.
Cork needs one football body, with a Junior and Senior section with promotion to Senior offered to the top team in Junior section if the club meets certain criteria - pitch, schoolboys, etc.
We must look after all levels with a path from Div 3 to Avondale!!
First ever time I heard of pitch "ownership" - do Glasheen own a pitch?
I disagree on the refs front in most part except the LOI guys sometimes in MSL. I think it's common opinion that Gene is the best ref around ahead of a group of two or three and they move over and back.
Harsh on Castleview manager. He went senior, and looked for the best players in his club. It's the old problem that Castleview will face again for the next two seasons as well. Their 19s and 18s are Irish internationals. They won't fit them all in and these guys may not wanna play Junior so leave.
1 during and 2 after I believe, but can only confirm 2 of the 3Quote:

I have seen Kilumney,Park,Pearse and Coachford play this season and think they would give most Senior Premier teams a game.there's a MJL FORUM so can ye keep the discussion about those teams on there.
Funny you mentioned cors and blarney as they play for blarney
Think if there managers knew they would also have let them know.
Ignorance on all there parts I imagine
Roberto!!!!! The so called discussion started on this forum as it always does, MJL or MSL forums never discuss the AUL.
I'm not referring to comparing teams from both leagues it was started on this Forum, it's the round of 3 games and the MJL being discussed on the previous page.
yes and with respects all they talk about is when are avondale champs can they be beat ,who will go down and grounds and pitches id rather a good team then a good pitch .lots of very good clubs and players in aul and its competitive.Quote:

Heard down the Anglers at the weekend that Rockmount Seniors have a shopping list for next season and that top of that list is 3 of the top players in AUL.. Not going to name them but I think it's not that hard to figure out who. My point is I think that Senior League is probably a better place standards wise but that standard is dropping. With the exception of Avondale there is a lot of mediocre players playing MSL who wouldn't set the world on fire playing AUL Premier. It's definitely better standard of pitches and facilities but the gulf between players is not as big as it was. Hence Rockmount and other MSL clubs looking at players in the AUL a lot more now.

I presume alot of people would have different opinions on whose the top 3 players in the aul?
Also on billy Cronin I heard 2 weeks ago that he wants to manage a aul team next season and try win the fai junior because he's never won it
players are steping back over to aul as well and tricksy signed a class player in deano was he msl tricks ?i went to a few msl games and boring and hold what you have comes to mind a lot up there.billy is top manager if thats the case a big plus for aul again.i seen clonmel and pike and a few others this year there the clubs we must try to emulate on and off the pitch if thats junior lol .Quote:
