Yeah you basically got it all there. Think we dominated the 1st half and then it was all villa in the 2nd half as we expected being 2-0 up. Your defence was a bit iffy in the last part of the 1st half but didnt put a foot wrong after that. We played reasonably well overall, though (and im not making excuses - i think the result would have been the same anyway), we had 5 of our nomal 1st teamers on the line injured... Had to play myself, im the manager, and hadnt played since september. Innishvilla always looked dangerous on the attack, it was a good enough game to watch so im told and to be honest after losing 8-1 to ye last season we were only annoyed at letting a 2-0 lead slip but happy we gave ye a game at the same time. Best of luck in the next round all the same!!Quote:

I dont mean to take away from your achievement in reaching the last 16 of the biggest cup in Europe in any way by raising the subject.
We'd love a run in the FAI - never really got far in the comp.
Im just curious.
What was the chain of events?
Why didnt they travel? - and "scared of us" is not an acceptable answer.
Im baffled as to how their league, province or even FAI let it happen.
My sentiments exactly! Thanks BellaQuote:

Well its back to the league for us this week after 4 cup games on the trot. We have Park Utd at home on saturday, after our very tough game last week we are delighted to welcome back the 3 that couldn tog out last week.
Its important we pick up 3 points here and win our games in hand, we need to start closing the gap on the 2 teams above us, well if we win our 4 in hand we sail back to the top of the league..
Question lads. How do u qualify for the Corinthians Cup?
Hey Lads ..new(ish) here ..just posting so I can become a member etc.... anyway in relation to timmypav`s question ....as far as Im aware you qualify automatically if you are beaten in the first round of the AOH cup..
Hi Bellavista .. Im with Leeview now ..the other fella was my brother..hes still around but doesnt post much !... amazing how you know we have a game against ye yet the god damn AUL have yet to inform us as of this time on a thursday afternoon...isnt that a joke??
As far as I know, if a club loses their 1st round game in their respective divisional cup competition (St Michaels, Saxone, President's Cup) then the club is automatically entered into the Corinthians Cup.Quote:

Spot on (almost) - after a few questions posed a year or two ago. I think the official definition is if you lose your first game in a divisional cup - rather than 1st round losers. so it is the losers from the 1st/provisional round and any team that loses in the second round that did not compete in the 1st/preliminary round.Quote:

Lads on the corinthians cup subject,yes its if your knocked out in the first round of your divisions cup ie. st michaels,saxone,presidents cup.we won it ourselves last year and as you said innish some good sides in it.we knocked out the now premier a sides greenmount and greenwood in the quarter and semi-final stages.Its a nice cup to win,especially the **** up afterwards!!!
Bellavista .. We've been trying to get through to someone for clarification and have nothing even at this late stage !.. It 348 on thurs afternoon .. We did see that ye are down to play on sun afternoon against ballinhassig tho !what's the story with that game ? Did ballinhassig request a free weekend or what ?
On the ball Innishvilla, eligibility for the Corinthians Cup was never properly explained to us, we just presumed it was 1st round losers. In any case, it's our final chance of silverware for the year, so we will give it our best shot.Quote:

Hello all.
I have been watching for awhile now and had some views on recent posts so I said I might as well jump in.
I have played in the AUL for around a decade now and although nearing the end I have a lot of great memories and only a few regrets. The main one is not winning enough silverware (but I’d say I’m not alone on that one).
The other is not having much interest in the Oscar Trainer Team (due to other sporting interests/commitments) and it’s on this subject I would like to make my first post.
Cork Aul won this cup last year with some very good players but also with some who were on the squad just because they were on it the year before and the year before ect.
I just think the selection process is not what it should be i.e. players being spotted for the talent rather than a club member being phoned up and asked who he thinks should go from he’s club.
I have witnessed this first hand a couple of times (at different clubs) and It just struck a cord with me this year when I seen 3 or 4 players from 1 particular club on the squad and one of the best centre halves in the AUL from that same club not being asked.
I apologize if my first post was a bit blunt but it was something I was thinking about for awhile now.
Any replies/comments good or bad welcome.
Name names legohead!! I have my suspicions in any case but go on! Actually lads has the squad been announced for the quarter finals against tipp?
Well done to all the cork teams last weekend and best of luck again this weekend. FAI and Munster Junior games are great to play in the latter stages. Enjoy every minute of it.
