So at the very least i thought a replay with a BETTER ref would have been fair ..............buts thats just me you "ll probably say im biased

No Scaffa I wasnt at the match but going on past experience regarding similar issues I didnt think for one second ye would get the points!! I didnt pass any comment as to whether the game should or shouldnt have been replayed! i was merely asking your opinion as to what you thought might have happened!

Congrats to Macroom an Dillons for their recent success.Prem A was a tough league this season.
Bohs seem to be coasting to a great finish.

---

cheer's littleman prem a was very tough this year we should ave came up last year but blew it.went unbeaten from feb of this year help us a lot only drawing one game.looking forward to the test of premier now next season!!!!

Holden, Im with Blackstone. I dont play much as the managers (including Olachico on this site) dont appreciate my talent fully!!!!!! I think Im Fowler, they think Im more like a Flower!

Magnet, one thing we dont do is diss others facilities. If the club you are with is lucky enough to have great facilities, fair play. Leeside or anyone else never mock anyone else's facilities and thats from us with facilities which are not the greatest.

Littleman, dont get drawn into knocking Leeside. I know you respect them and most of us do here. Healthy rivalry is fun!

Within Cork, as a Norrie, I probably want the northside teams to succeed more because I know people involved. I want Passage to win because I have relations involved etc. Between Kinsale & Leeside, for example, I have no preference. May the best team win. Same between two other sides for whom I have no preference one way or the other.

In comps outside Cork, we want the Cork teams to win. Everyone does.To borrow a phrase from another sport, Rebels ABU!!

I wouldnt knock a Cork club an I never will.Wether we see eye to eye or not I dont think thats on.

I dont dislike Leeside as a club an never have.Iv been one of the 1st people on here to say I though they were a very good side.

Im well aware of the reasons I draw the scorn of some of their posters.It just amuses me they can only seem to focus on me or Grattan.

As far as Im aware we are out of the title race an their are another 8 sides in the PREM besides us an Leeside,an a whole lot of teams in the Aul I'd all rather talk about rather than read about certain posters whinging on about Grattan/Leeside or me.:yawn:

Don't want this site to be like this with bitching going on just like the two of u are doing now.

"i just think i would make a great finish to the end of the prem a season with a playoff to see who comes up with us"
Thats what you should have said in the first place.

:rolleyes:im not bitching at all just gave my opinion your the one that has a problem with.sorry if i offended you....

Lads, get back on topic or I'm going to start doling out 1 weeks bans right, left and center.

Leave what exactly for another day?! Who has the plastic pitch? I can honestly say that Kinsale are lucky enough to have one of the best pitches in Cork! Definitely the best in the AUL! Ridiculous statement.

Leeside win again tonight. If they keep this up they'll be worthy champs, without a doubt. We'd obviously love to have a winner takes all down in Little Island but unfortunately it doesn't look like that is going to happen:disappointed:

Congrats to Macroom on winning the premier A. Tough league this year so well done.

cheer's bogwarrior.was a very tough league everyone taking points off one another.got their in the end.hopefully now the 2nd team can win sunday and win their league to make it a double...

I have been reading with a bit of interest on whats been goin on in this forum of late and i think we should start going back to basics and stop concentrating on, in my opinion, silly and petty remarks about individual clubs. The last thimg any of us want is a suspension or worse to have this forum shut down. Im all for a bit of banter but witout the personnal stuff concerning clubs and their facilities.
An example, i play with Ballyvolane and although, and im sure quite a few in here will agree, we dont have great facilities or a great pitch but there is a great honest bunch of guys who jst want to play football and hopefully win an aul trip to the 'cross for a day out, or even get a promotion. Not many players or clubs get to do that but what they do deserve is a huge amount of credit for having a team that gives it its all week in week out, win or loose no matter where or on what pitch they play on.
Its far from quality level pitches we were reared on !!!!
You take Prem A, Macroom champs, well done, but look at what Greenwood, Blackstone, and Leeds havedone in their first year up.......stayed up, and more importantly with 1 or 2 more wins could have been going up again. That must give the club great saticsfaction and something to build on for next year. Im not trying to be patronising here because i have huge respect for every team in my league and it happened to us 2 years ago....we stayed up, pushed on and got our just rewards last year against all the odds. You look at the likes of Bohs, Glenvale, Grattans 2nd team, Leesides 2nd and 3rd team, Innishvilla, Douglas Hall, Dillons Cross (2 cup finals),Springfield, Kinsale, but to name a few, all good honest teams and clubs with good futures ahead in the coming years because of one common theme......all trying to improve both themselves and their facilities.
For me these are the things we should be commending and talking about. Keeping the forum to good honest chat and Banter between clubs from all divisions............nothing wrong with odd argument either though !!!!!:)
But hey, thats just my opinion.

Another good win for Leeside.Doughlas Hall seem to be kicking on as well,great win for them.
Anyone play Castleview lately or Pearse.

castleview didnt ave the same 11 as the start of the year when we played them.good fella up front holds up the ball well caused a few problems to be fair.keep the ball wide get in behind them and keep it on the ground coz john sull their center back wins everything in the air...as for pearse lost to them earlyier in the season which we should ave won good side with plenty of pace.not played them again since due to soon tho...

Nice to see the thread get back to some sort of mentality- a few lads getting involved in things I thought they would stay away from. This is one of the best footie threads im involved in so lets keep it that way lads. As one of the lads said got chit chat between clubs from all divisions and a mutual respect for all involved.

Pearse are a handy side. Better going forward then defending. Gavin Pender in Centre Mid is a good player. The O shea brothers Gary and Ritchie are good players. Ritchie was an Everton Senior for years,Gary played a year or 2 with the Ballyphehane Celtic side of a few years back hes stil only 21. Back line isnt great tho.

thank you for everyone who gave postive texts over the last fw weeks. thanks to all.

thanks littleman and bog, another good win all right last night. couldn make it again last night but heard from few that they preformed v well and could of had a few more but only for 3-4 magnificant saves from alberto!!( heard city are intrested to sign him when the window opens, anybody else hear that?? )

Now thats off my chest, lets all say a prayer for my beloved Wednesday who play Palace at the weekend in the most important fixture of the last 10 years !!

Bohemians 0-2 Rathcool


Bad result today for us, was a game we absolutely dominated for the best part of 80mins. First half we created chance after chance but just failed to score. After 25mins ball played through there keeper came rushing out misjudged the bounce of the ball and seeing our striker would have the easiest of tap ins he cleared the ball with his hand, should have walked but the ref only gave him a yellow (awful decision)...

Second half was more one sided than the first and time after time we bombarded there goal we had 3 goals disallowed 1 was fair enough but 2 shud have stood, but again failed to capitalise on our posession as we couldn score. Then last 10mins they got a goal from a ball we failed to clear and 5mins later they were awarded a very soft penalty, our keeper made a save and our player rushing back it rebounded off his hand and that was that unfortunately..

Dissapointed is the word but being honest i tho it was one of the best performances from our team all season, totally dominated. But as they say its goals that win games and not posession...

Still in our hands tho so we happy about that

Just one of those very frustrating games where the ball would not go in for us

Mario coming from some one whos new to this management thing,have a word with the lads an just get um to keep takin it one game at a time,keep focused an ye will win through.The Norries will win one league at least.

Owl,,,,,,,,,,,chin up.The Wednesday will be back.I have been where you are goin an look at me now,a QPR fan,,,,,richest club in the world,,,,,,,,,,,,it could happen to you too......

Glenvale cost me a small fortune over the weekend,,,,so much for dead certs.

Couldnt make the Leeside game so I sold my season ticket,,,,,,,,,,,the Killer B's had their last league game an its important clubmen support the club,,,,,,,it didnt matter as we lost 3 zip but at least I was there.

Dont know about anyone else but im really lookin forward to the Oscar game Sunday.

Cheers weeman, Gutted..........

Dont think our guys have been training with the Oscar squad since last game. Cant imagine some of them wont make the squad or maybe Im wrong. Are players from other teams training with AUL squad in the last week or two?

From what Iv heard they are training Wed nite.I dont think theres been anything happening over the last few weeks though.

2A will be close to be decided on Sunday when Waterloo travel to Cobh for what will be a massive game and the photographed star from the away game won't be there because his best buddies stag...........aggggghhhhhhhh. :mad: Fixtures have fallen horribly for me unfortunately. No mid-week game last week meant it was a near certainty that one of the big games would fall on this weekends of all weekends. It is going to be a massive game and I am really peed off about not been there but hopefully the lads will get the result needed to mean that we will have to go on and beat a good Milstreet team in the last game of the season.

First of all with the upmost respect we have to beat Inner City on Thurs night down in Springers which I will be around for and hopefully we can get the win to set us up for 2 massive games

We beat Coachford 6-0 yesterday with 4 goals coming from Shane Brennan who is on top class form- really missed him for those cup games period when we got knocked out of everything. I know people will say its only 2A but if anyone has seen Shane in this form they will agree he will get goals at any level.

Sport can be a cruel thing...
Glenvale - after an unbelievable season are one game and one loss away from ending up with nothing. Next Sunday they have the winner takes all final league game with Innishvilla. From an AUL 2 point of view I was cheering for Glenvale at weekend as I always like to see the divisional cups being won by our own section, but now the cheers will be for the black and orange of Innishvilla.

hey mainman....Whats the date for the final game against millstreet?and whats the starting team recently? Will a draw and a win be enough to win the league on goal difference? Although I know six points will be sought after.

Bella thats some going with a chance finishing third if corkbeg game is a draw. How did that come about from the position ye were in not long back?

In the AUL no league titles/promotion decided on goal difference - always goes to a play off if two teams are level on points

Murphy's Irish Stout League 2A
PLD W D L GF GA Pts
Waterloo 16 14 0 2 45 20 42
Springfield A 15 13 1 1 52 16 40
Millstreet Cel 15 12 2 1 49 18 38

Thats the story at the top with us playing Inner City Thurs, Waterloo on Sunday. Waterloo then play Milstreet next Wed. And I would think our game with Milstreet will be the following weekend. If we beat Inner on Thurs we will be top with 43. With the 3 of playing each other I am not even going to go into the maths but at least a draw against waterloo at the weekend is a must. If they were then to beat Milstreet in their place we would have 44 and they would finish with 46. Milstreet, assuming they win their other game, will have 41 and will then have to beat us in our place to force a playoff. But that is only 1 scenario. Milstreet might win all their games and win the league at our place :(

That looks like a cracking end to the season fair play to all three teams involved, all have a pretty impressive record, three teams with a combined total of four league losses from 46 games... I suppose all the teams are hoping for a draw when the other two meet each other....

Hard luck Main Man, what a game to miss. It's a cracking end to the season in 2A, great to see it going right down to the wire. It's a hard one to call but I've a feeling Springers will just do enough to clinch the title.

Bohs 2-1 Dillons Cross .......Very Very tough game tonight!! Led 1 nil at the break with a superb goal from our striker had a couple of other good chances but could only go in a goal up.
2nd half gave away a soft goal after about 10 mins but infairness he took it well and gave our keeper no chance.Our keeper was tested again a few mins later but pulled off a great save to keep us in it.
After that we pilled on the pressure and scored a header off a great free kick to give us the lead in the last 10 mins.
Dillons came at us in the remaining few mins but we soaked it up and came away with the win which i think we just about deserved.So its back to the top of the league by 3 points!!.......Best of luck to Dillons in the final of the city challenge on Friday night aswell

Greenwood 2 Ballyvolane 2

Could have gone either way really but credit to our lads for coming back after being behind twice. Greenwood to be fair played some lovely football on a difficult pitch so we cant really complain. Good game though with chances at both ends, but i think over all we had/missed the better of them. Was looking for three points, got one, but i dont think its over just yet............
Ref i felt made a shocker of a decision towards the end against us but to be honest i wasnt that suprised considering some of his perfomances this season that i have seen.

Lads,
On Billy's website it says all Leeside need is 4 points from their last three games to win the league.

Is it just me or is this incorrect? If they get 4 points from their next two games and Kinsale beat them in their final game, then Kinsale will win it by a point.

No?
