We can confirm that Minty is gone and Niall has stepped up. Emergency meeting called last night at training supposedly Minty said he cant get a team together ( out of four training sessions 5 was the most players he had at the one time) stating anyone he asked declined so offered the job to Niall, Niall put it to us after training stating its vital that Casement have a good quailty senior side and that he thinks we should step up, no complaints from anyone. Only one condition we wanted was for Niall to be the gaffer and nothing changes only the league were playing in. So our planned assault on the AUL is switched to MSL :D Littleman they tried that last year telling players they must play with the top team if their good enough but as you said players will walk and they told them so last season.
Cheers Southsider,it can be hard bein honest about things not goin according to plan within a club,but at least ye have tried to make the best of it.Appriciate the honesty as you didnt have to say anythin.Best of luck,tis just a pity the Oscar Traynor side could have done with some of the talent.;)
No problem Littleman i said id give the full story for everyone to see before every sort of rumour will be starting about what "really" happened ;). Id certainly agree that the Oscar Traynor panel would have been alot better off if we didnt move on up. Does this mean i must join that horrible MSL page cause id much prefer to chat amongst real football men :eek: ????
There will be an AUL 2 team still there. Its lasts years senior team. They started last year as an AUL side but cause the commitee f*****d up appointing the new manager the junior side had to go up senior meaning our AUL 3 side had to go AUL 2. Same as this year really :o:o:o. So Casement will Have MSL team,AUL 2 team and the Youth team.
Neil Duggan is still a great player. He's a very good player to have around any club. Was quality in his day and still has a lot to offer. A bit saucy but you need one or two in your team like him. All in all a good signing bella!!!
Those odds are a bit weird to say the least, Ballypheane are quoted as 80/1 last time I looked. Fairly short odds for a club that doesn't exist...
Separate note it'll be interesting to see the make up of the divisions, there are quite a few teams gone now...
Also Casement, I'm just trying to get it clear. The former 2nd team (AUL), i suppose squad is better than team. The AUL squad is now playing MSL and the MSL squad is going to the AUL? Am I correct in that. Will there not be problems as I thought in one of your posts you said there were only about 5 showing up for training for the MSL squad, or is there another team/squad training as well... Sorry for the confusion...
Its complicated inish even for a guy involved in the club but here goes, its lasts years Seniors who will be playing Junior this season not the 5 lads who Minty brought to training the past few weeks. The commitee was working on getting a league for another team(last years seniors) which is the lads who got the club out of a major hole last season when moving from AUL 2 up to MSL to save Senior status. These lads were not Senior players bar 1 or 2 but worked hard all season and stuck together and buying the club precious time to fix the mistake of not sussing out the manager they appointed at the start of the season so the committe decided the least they could do was keep them in the club and making up a new team for them but with Minty not being able to get his team going there was no need to start another team meaning they replaced Niall Harringtons side in AUL 2. Think that should clear it up ;)
Cheers, I think... I either understand it fully now or else I'm even more confused :confused:.
Anyway, for now Casement Celtic should have 1 team playing MSL Senior 2nd Division and 1 team playing AUL 2? Yes?
A question not specifically aimed at Casement, but could be possibly answered by them. Why when a team joins or is a member of the MSL can/do they have a junior team playing AUL and not MSL junior? Examples, Lakewood, Casement, Ballinhassig, Ballincollig, Castleview, Leeds, Passage, probably others as well...
Hi anyone know if they've released the league structure/list for next season or when they will be released?
With the various clubs folding mid-season last year there will need to be a little bit of re-structuring going on...
Well, we went back tonight with 17. Delighted with the turnout and the few new faces played well.
Littleman, is Minty going to take the AUL job?
Any news on the 5 players he had, specifically Jason Keegan?
Those who are back a fortnight - has any players packed it in already?
how do all? enjoy the bit of a break?
we all looking forward to the new season?
any one with a blarney street affiliation confirm the manager has departed?
bit of a bombshell if true at the very start to the season.
It now looks like the senior team from last year will be playing MSL junior with the AUL 2 team going MSL senior. So no AUL team from casement?? We're not sure ourselves. If so then i know the AUL will miss out on using Casement Park for the Oscar Traynor games.
Yoda sounds like what I'v heard as well,manager stepped down last monday. from what I heard in the Anglers.
