Yes my post was removed too...all I was saying is that the aul fixture secretary has to do a better job with the fixture situation...it's a joke, it always was. Every year kin sale seem to get nice fixtures at the end of season. They are a good team and they get good cup runs but it's just strange that all their home games are midweek and away games are weekends come the end of season...a bit of fairness and cop on from the aul is needed towards every team not just the top few
The posts (and associated posts) were removed because some were near libelous and others either quoted them or would have looked out of context if left there.
Nobody is above criticism but there's a correct way of doing it.
dont know boo really,not sure who backpass played with but never any easy matches in the premier league for any team, kinsale had grattan away wilton at home and leeside away in the 3 last matches of last season not the easiest of finishes
i never said there are easy fixtures in any league....but they are a lot easier come end of year when guys are workn and cant get time off for midweek games miles away....and you are right ye had grattan away albeit on a saturday and leeside away midweekQuote:

If some of our boys had to play again on Tues. this well talked about fixture could cost us our Div. 2 status. :mad:
Haha! Sure of course Kinsale is huge and all of the Kinsale team work in the town and it only takes us all 2 minutes to drive to the game!! Get real. Most of the team work in Cork and will have the exact same amount of travelling as the away teams. I'd say its the same for the likes of Park, Macroom, Coachford etc.. even a home game at 6 o'clock..fellas who are lucky enough to be working in their home town are few and far between. Take issue with the time of the games rather than the fixtures themselves.Quote:

Because we have put so much money into our pitch we tend not to have as many home games postponed as other teams and we usually have more away games to play than home games in the latter part of the season.
For instance this year we have only played one away game so far. This implies we will have a lot of away games in the run in.
In recent years we have been away to Grattan, Wilton, Leeside Coachford, Glenthorn, Blarney Street and others in midweek.
We travel more than others during the week I would imagine, because we always have more midweek games to play than most teams.
Similar to Leeside last season.
Backpass, you seem to have some chip on your shoulder from some years back.
Build a bridge and get over it.
In the meantime feel free to post some FACTS on this site.
You don't seem too concerned that Park have to travel further than Coachford next Tuesday night when they visit Leeside for the 6pm kick off.
Empty vessels make the most sound it seems :)
To be fair the journey from mitchelstown to little island isn't as severe as some are making out either. Half an hour, plus the toll. We had to travel to park last year Midweek and got the 3 points. And the reason kinsale had to play wilton and leeside as last games of year was because the aul intentionally scheduled those games to be league deciders. I don't think there's a conspiracy to "look after" any teams despite the way the fixtures are falling. As someone said previously contact the ref + opposition beforehand to defer game by 15 mins if needs be.

I can tell you for a FACT Shilts that the road from Mitchelstown to Little Island is a lot better than the one from Coachford to Kinsale. Small matter of a motorway and a dual carriageway!!

Can't argue with those facts!!!
I'll be travelling from the city, so I'll be under a bit of pressure also next Tuesday.
Be safe on the road inswinger, and we'll have a good game of ball when you get down, as usual!
Did I hear there is a question mark hanging over Patsys eligiblity to play.Quote:

Watched Kinsale last week in the Mossie thought they were well worth the win....On AOH QF tho i think if Alan Greaney of Kilreen can play like we all know he can he can bag a few goals against Kinsale. Also Wayne (Pooh) Dunlea formerly of Ballyphehane Celtic and last season Casement Celtic Senior team is back the past few games to tighten up the back four so they'll be hard to break down id go as far as saying he's the best Centre Back in the AUL...........Shock of the week i reckon...
PARK 0 VS MACROOM 2.
great result for us today away from home.started off bright enough not many chances till one of our lads was taken down inside the box,keeper drived the wrong way ball in off the post lucky but will take them any day.park had way more of the ball after that but we defended very well to go in one nil up at the break.2nd half park started the better and were very unlucky not to score our keeper made some great saves and our defence was unreal best we ave defended all year delighted cause we have let in alot of goals.cought them out on the break to kill the game with 3mins to go from snaz...excellent performance from every one....next two games at home hopefully its the start of a good run to push us up the table...
Coachford 6 Grattan 0
Good result for us despite missing a few players got the ball down and played well were well worth the 6 goals which were shared around. Alan Molloy, Conor O Neill, Michael O Sullivan, Steven Murphy and Stevie "Chip" Murray with two. Again have to commend Grattan on their sporting manner, showed real class throughout in a difficult situation.I sincerly hope they come straight back up next year and i have no doubt that they will re-group and win the Premier A next season.
Great results for both Macroom and Blarney Street away, makes the relegation battle very interesting. On the centre half topic southsider, we are in my opinion very fortunate to have Ciaran Lucey in our ranks, a serious player who would be very comfortable playing at a higher level. Pace, power and an eye for a goal its just my opinion but he's as good as anyone in the Aul i have seen in that position.
Kinsale 3 Kilreen 0 was at the game today first half was end to end and could have been 2 or 3 all at half time,Kinsale dominated the second half got 3 goals and could have had another few
Bohemians 0-1 Pearse
Another defeat today in the windy fairfield today on a bad run at the moment infairness to Pearse they they defended well and probably desrved it.
Missing 4 key players through a suspension and 3 out due to injury but no excuses.Goal came in the 1st half after a mistake between myself and the goalkeeper thought he had the ball he thought i had it and the weak curling shot crept in off the post.
Wind had a big impact on the 1st half Pearse wer pushin all the time but we defended well and did well to keep it at 1 nil.
2nd half we had the wind behind our backs pushed all the way had a few half chances but Pearse defended it well and wer comfortable enough tryin to catch us on the break all the time and came close once or twice.Disapointed with our performance today and will have to pick it up on Tuesday night when we face Killumney in what could be a make or break for promotion in our season this year
Coachford 0 - 4 Millstreet
No doubt Millstreet are a class Div. 2 side and this result puts them into the driving seat now. A poor headed back-pass left their centre forward in one on one which he converted with ease for the first. A corner which passed around 14 bodies before it fell to another Millstreet player at the back post. And he also finished off in style. 2-0 at half time and we had to push on . Third goal came when our boys were caught high up the field, their player ran on to a ball over the top and cooly despatched over the head of the on-rushing keeper. 4th was an another error on our behalf when their winger went around our full back far too easily, he then slotted a ball across the six yard box which was easily dispatched by a Millstreet substitute who was just on the field.
Another dissapointing result but we just have to keep going and hope Leeview dont pick up any more points. We are struggling to score goals and will need a lot of luck to stay in the Division.
3 away games left starting with Macroom Thurs. night. Huge Derby Game now. Spotted a couple of scouts from Macroom out aswell yesterday. No doubt on this performance they weren't overly worried. :p
