I haven't seen any proof. If you have it lets see it.

There was talk for years that Avondale players were getting paid and that is so far from the truth. This thing about players getting paid always seems to rear its ugly head on a monthly basis at this stage.
If a club is able to pay players then fair play to them, they have either managed to generate income from the club it self or recruited a chairman or investor willing to invest their hard earned money into the club.
@Ringmahon4ever, if you had a serious amount of wealth behind you and you were passionate about your club then im sure if you had an opportunity to bring in quality players to your club for a small sum then you'd seriously consider it if it brought success to your club.
Now don't give me that you'd rather win it with home grown players because this is very unlikley to actually happen in most clubs cases, if it would happen at all.
are you serious or taking the p**s out of me.fair enough clubs want success and stuff but why bring in a player into an amateur game and pay him.plus your bringing a player to a club that he really doesnt give a poo about and all he cares about is his back hander after every game..by doing this your upsetting the local players and that will go right down to the junior ,youth and schoolboy setup..they will just give up trying because they know outsiders are being brought in for a few euros so there will be no room for them then..I think if you ask everybody on this forum the majority will think its wrong no matter how wealthy your club are ..just use the money on looking after your own players through there injuries and keep upgrading your club etc..thats my rant of the day over now gentlemen
Fair point. I can't see any long term benefits for clubs paying players. It kills the club ethos and also ruins younger players ambitions to play senior which should be every schoolboys aim, unless good enough for a better standard. Brings back to the point of no clubs being successful in the schoolboy leagues, youth level and senior premier as most clubs would prefer immediate success rather than letting a club slide for a year or two to bring through home grown players which would allow for long term stability. I think this is starting to be brought through by the first division clubs more than any at the moment including Ringmahon. And that's tough to say coming from a Dale man.
To be fair Ringmahon have a great system going as do Fermoy as do Leeds but theirs a few teams in the premier who are doing the same Mayfield have very few outsiders as do Tramore as do Everton as do Midleton I think St Mary's are good as well but not positive on that one.Now that's 50% of the premier with Everton and Midleton in the top 4 of the league. So theirs good work been done by these clubs to keep their identity and still be able to add a bit of quailty by bringing in 2 or 3 players as long as they don't take the **** and force out the local lads.
thanks fellas..im just saying why bother clubs setting up academy,schoolboy programs and then when go off and pay fellas to play for team.this doesnt give a good example to the younger players.
rockmount match off tonight incase anyone was going to travel out. good luck to the lads from the msl playing in that trial game in limerick tomorrow.
Rockmount v Passage off tonight.
your right dermy ryan from tipp and conor roche played school boys with mary's thery been there so long forgot they were not from mayfield,i think mc bride from mayfield as far as i know i'm not 100% on that and as for the polish keeper seba his long gone,he shows up training now and then last i heard he had a trial with cork city.so 4 maybe 5 players out of a squad of 15+ is fairly good you know your stuff mr sparky .midleton v mayfield was called off
beat glasheen 3-0 today in pop kelleher..into the quarter finals now.anyone know wat way the draw goes
We beat mallow in the pop keller cup on saturday at home, had a full squad for the 1st time in a long time, played ok mallow kept going to the end and worked hard we just got the lucky breaks when needed. Does every other team suffer the same as us with guys going away for weekends??? Next week we have 3 of the lads going to Carling cup and another going to Dublin. I know people will say thats why you need a squad but when you sign up for the season these are the sacrifices players should make!!!
players should show dedication but you can't expect them there every weekend
i think at the very most 2 games missed over a season for social occasions is the most
after that players are taking the ****
friday night games are perfect to quell situations like this
The players are not SENIOR players if social comes first. Simple as. Playing Senior is not just about talent but attitude too. You get out what you put in in football. To be fair to the players though they dont even know on Sunday afternoon what day their game will be the following week. I think the AUL can tell you on Thursday what day your game will be the following weekend. Finnegan and the MSL need to address this matter. Clubs should know their next 2 games at all times. With technology now we are not depending on the Echo to print these fixtures. Common sense should prevail.

I love that you don't mention you lost to CIT 2-1 on Thursday night in the Beamish Cup. I wouldnt worry about players your going away for a weekend because ye are going to win nothing anyway and finish mid table at best in the 1st division
Not even the topic we were discussing but thanks for your well put comment loved your use of the English Language!!!Would love to know what Corinthians did to upset you????
Good result for us today 3-1 winners away to Leeds. We seem to have a few very good minors coming through, one scored today. Advantage Ringmahon now I'd say. We're probably too far behind in games to be in the shake up but looks good for the next few seasons.
I have nothing against Corinthians. You just always seem to be complaining or moaning about something on this. Just get on with it.
We have only had our full squad once this season. I agree with you entirely, especially now that we are at the business end of the season and in with a shout. Lads planning weekends away at this stage of the season is hard to swallow.
I know it's not the be all and end all, that lads have work, families etc, but if we got up to the Prem I'd seriously worry about the squad unless the attitude changed.
In my day we never struggled like this I tell ya.....ahhhh the 90's.....
Fermoy have two games in hand and 3 points behind ringmahon. I wouldnt write corinthians off yet. If they beat fermoy at the weekend it gives them a massive incentive for promotion.
Rockmount 4 Passage 1. Report to follow.
Douglas Hall 8 Bandon 1.
Scoreline reflects the 'Hall dominance.
Hey ball-hop how do you think ye will get on against Everton what's the mood like in the camp have ye any suspensions many feel this is your make or break game for ye if ye lose people will say ye have no bottle if ye win people will say your back on track can ye stand up to the physical aspect of Everton's game.Would it be fair to say it's the biggest game of the season for so many reasons as it would silence the doubthers and please the admirers.
Sunday will see how we bounce back after Intermediate Cup defeat. I think Graham McCarthy is the only one missing - other suspensions are out of the way and I hope that's the end of disciplinary issues.
It should be an opportunity to lay down a league marker - but Everton Park is always a very difficult venue to visit. I'm still optimistic about our prospects, just the nagging doubt about red and yellow cards - we need to avoid them bigtime.
Fair assesment ball-hop best of luck.
i think this will be a tough fixture for the hall, rumor has it Biscuits is like Cornell Gadaffi and there is a bit of a rebellion beginning within the club, Rules with a iron fist and the hall lads are struggling to accept it... i fancy everton who as well have recently suffered from a dip in form. tough one to call all the same.
"if ur job interferes with your football get a new job" another quote from an experienced msl manager
Just reading through the recent posts, and seems to be a lot of talk about Billy Cronin and Howey. All i can say on that matter is that Howey has played under Cronin since leaving st Marys, and it shows, Howey carries on exactly the same way on the pitch as Cronin does on the line, both gobby and show complete dis-respect to both officials and there opposition. sooner Cronin resigns the better....On the other hand, there a few young managers making an impact on the league this year? any suggestions for manager of the year???...
Blarney 7-0 tramore!!! looks like the end for tramore!!!
lads i can tell you from speaking to 4 or 5 hall players they have the utmost respect for biscuits . how can you argue with somebody who has put you top of the league. lads everton had 1 good result against rockmont and everyone thinks they are unreal . any one can beat every one just depend what team turns up and fron the hall fixture vs bandon the hall will have podge cullinane gaz moorsey mulcahy back . not a bad set of players to have returning
