Monard is far from like a snooker table.Nearly worse than Carrigs pitch
Park, the snooker table comment was in jest as Im sure you well now. You seriously think we don't know that we need to improve our ground and facilities? Give us a bit more credit.
I would appreciate the haves not digging at the have nots. Im sure Park didnt begin life with the facilities they have now. You got 30 grand spare you can give us?
Amazing how few sides who win in Monard complain.....................
You have the same clue whats going behind the scene in Blackstone as I do about behind the scene in Park - zero.
Maybe I am wrong and this dig is not aimed at you alone Parkboy but I always think guys who built up the clubs would never make comments like that..............never seen "hard times" as the old phrase goes.
I know WHEN we have facilities to rival others that I will never dig at the "have-nots".

As horse said, havent heard anybody else complaining.
Red and whte, in a perfect world yes we would love to be playing on perfect surfaces every week but do you really think that AUL clubs in all divisions have the finances for that ? I think not. If we were to stop teams being promoted because of their facilities, i fear we would lose clubs every year.
spot on owl, there are so many fancy dan guys playing today who havent a clue what it was like 20yrs ago when matches were played on patches of grass in fields where a farmer wouldnt put a cow and "dressing rooms" were a row of cars lined up beside. Most games were played on a sunday morning when lads got out of bed and never missed a match. Players were on the whole loyal to one club and fought for their places rather than walk out!
Yes, nobody wants to go backwards, and fair play to all the clubs that improved their pitches and facilities, but those who are whingeing about other "less fortunates" be thankful for what you have and thank those who went before you to put them in place.
Lads I want to apoligise to any of the lads/clubs i offended by my earlier comments.I have been involved with Park all my life and we are one of the lucky ones who have what we have.The reason being that the biggest club to us is Fermoy 10 miles away and we were lucky with the grant we got years ago.What we take in from our busy astro turf facility pays from our groundsman so without that we wouldnt be where we are.Quote:

Big Question for all those in the know !!!!!! What was the big meeting at the cross today for the AUL commitee ?????
One word - Silverheights :(Quote:

Compare this to the standard of some AUL pitches out there that teams are still being forced to play on week in\week out due to lack of funding.
Could that money not have went into building an AUL complex or doing some serious improvements to existing pitches?
Corinthians Cup Final
Friday 17th June
Kilreen Celtic vs Park B
lads Monard is certainly not in anywhere near the worst pitches league! some far worse out there
big game tomorrow night carrig vs springfield, just wondering what happened bout springfield game that was called off?? did they get the points?
No idea but it says on the AUL blog that tomorrow nights game is a title decider which it wouldn't be if Springfield didn't get the points for that game so may be they did get them.Quote:

We had a league decided with Glenvale last year in the final league game for both sides and it was just the ref, no linesmen so I don't think the AUL normally consider it. However for a big game I do think it is a good idea, especially when it's a local derby as well!!!Quote:

Best of luck to Carrig tonight.
In fairness both sides are good enough to go up and with a number of "higher" teams rumoured to be folding then both probably will go up irrespective of tonight.
In fairnes thebooboys, the linesmen didn't cost ye the game that night.Quote:

It is a good idea IF you can afford it.
Especially if there is going to be a big crowd, the ref needs every bit of help that he can get.
Wouldn't it be a good gesture from the AUL to pay for the extra officials for the big games (out of fines money?)
Not saying they cost us. Was just surprised at the selection of one of the linesmen that evening that's all seeing as he wasn't involved in any Prem games prior to that. This is a few years back anyway, not recent.
If the clubs involved want to fork out the 140 or so euro then there's plenty of linesmen available this time of year.
Must say its a joke that springfield got the points..
Not blaming springers,but that ruling..
Isn't that the joys of playing football,some pitches good,sum bad,its the challenage you must be up for..
Eg,if we ever play in clasduv road,silverheights,we might change the way we set up..
I think that what makes it enjoyable to play!
Fact. If both teams agree on linesmen, perfectly allowable
We played Coachford in a play off decider few years back and there was linesman.Quote:

Played both teams recently and its gonna be a cracker but i think ill go with Springfield on this one.
poor show by the aul to give springers the points without kicking a ball, i remember playing on a pitch where my biggest worry was avoiding the cow s*&t, not if the grass was slightly long!! suppose you cant beat clever management!!
If it's a draw carrig win the league by a point. This is a regular league game.
Finished up 2-0 to Springfield. Deserved the win too. Carrigtohill had a lot of ball second half but didn't create much.
I know Cas but wasnt too sure if a draw would do Springfield.Quote:

Well done to springers well worth the win as learpholl said for all carrigs possession they didn't create much Springfield could of sneaked another one or two aswell
went to the carrig springfield game last night, not a regular at aul games but been to a few this season, have to say i was surprised with the level of fitness shown for that division.. neither team stopped for the entire 90 minutes, and good game as well. springfield well worth the win, organized and very potent from set pieces (ala rockmount)! for all carrig's possesion in the second half they didn't seem to have any ideas in the last third, but in fairness they kept going till the end! from what i've seen of mjl this year both teams would easily stay up/compete at that level!!
SPRINGFIELD AUL1 CHAMPIONS 2010-2011!!!, ...fact!
After reading all the tripe that has been posted here regarding Springers!, about ''long grass, up to old tricks again, experienced managers'', we became Champions last nite - well deserved - unbeaten in League all year!.
Just remember peeps we showed up to both games, were either togging out or warming up when REFEREE decided to call off game, nothing to do with US. As the saying goes . . . 'referee's decision is final, nothing anyone can do to influence or change it'
Finally, big celebrations in Cobh last night and more to continue this Saturday night - Carrigtwohill your more than welcome to come and observe - seen as ye've spent the last few weekends in Cobh keeping an eye on us!. Ye surely know the way by now!!!
congrats to springfield on winning the league and going unbeaten in it for the year...feel sorry for carrig losing the league on the last game but thats football.no doubt ye will be up their again next year....
Congratulations to Springfield, worthy Champions, were the better team on the night. Offside Rule thanks for the 'invite' to your celebrations but I think I have had enough of Springfield for this season, best of luck next season!
As was said last nite, ''its a pity only 1team goes up!'' . . . Maybe something the AUL should look more closely at.
Best of luck to Carrig aswell next Season - im sure it wont be long before our paths cross again.
Congrats to Sprinfield on the league win last night. No complaints on the result, well deserved. Gutted for our lads as i felt they didnt do themselves justice. Goodluck next year to Springers and like Radio i too will decline the generous invitation to Cobh.
Great support for both sides last night and it was great to see.
well done to all teams in the aul this year and all involved with every club.On the springfield thing I must say its a disgrace what the aul did . Congrats to springers on winning the league but thats 2 very controversial endings to the league in 2 years but well done anyway.
I dont know the full story behind either of those "very controversial endings" and it may not be totally fair whatever rulings the AUL did give but having played in league 1 all season and watched the game last night, I dont think there's any doubt Springfield were the best team in the division and from what I saw played better football than anyone else too. They deserve to go up and whatever the AUL decides to do in both circumstances isnt their players fault.Quote:

King-corner, do you honestly know anyone of the Springers players personally - to say the way they conduct themselves on and off the field is way out of order. Off the field, how has there conduct been bad?. On the field, they play to win - and the leagues success proves this.
I think you should retract your statement there lad!.
As Learpholl said ''whatever the AUL decides to do in both circumstances isnt their players fault''.
Its not our issue to ensure other teams pitches are upto playing quality.
Glad to hear you think we are good footballers - at the end of the day we are a football team playing in a football league!.
Football players who give their all in every match, training session etc, - to be slated on here is way out of order!.
kingcorner what difference to it make to what way players conduct them selfs off the pitch where not professionals for god sake we are only playing junior football and to be fair its no ones business either....Quote:
