Tower started pre season very well , 100% record so far. Beat Killowen 1-0 away last night i think, could do well in div 3. Terence McSweeney v good defender on his day at the back and if they hold onto Sean Taggart they have the makings of a very good defence. Young side but some decent players there from what i can see. Lots of them not playing at all last season so good to see them back playing.
best of luck to all teams for the season lads may the best teams win there divisions
Rock mount junior 2 Bweeng 1 rock mount only fair for a team that are normally there or thereabouts in the msl junior they hadn't a shot in the second half chawky reffed it great ref
Best of luck to everyone lads. Lets hope our "dry summer" is later this year! As per every pre-season I think we will win everything...............Im bound to be right some season arent I?
Just remember, every kick makes me stronger and more determined. Indians always come back!
Wonder will many games go ahead this weekend with this weather that we getting . Not many clubs will want to ruin their pitch in the first week of the season .
too true not a lot of pitches will survive this weather so any games that go ahead best of luck to all teams and groundsmen
of any teams nice start to the season trying to get things right.see a few new refs in the aul this year should be interesting.
Hi Guys,
New to the site. Im Involved with Leeview, been reading the forum for awhile and decided to contribute.
Really hope the weather eases as a lot of teams have put serious effort into pre season and nothing worse than opening day getting called off. I feel the more of the high quality astro turf facilities that shoot up around the city the Better. In our section alone there's 3 teams that use them (including ourselves) which will decrease the amount of games we have called off.
lads whats yer take on aul refs ive watched alot of games last season and there was lots of bad decisions and lots of games ruined over it i hope they can stand up and be better for the new season
lads can anyone tell me any bookmakers take bets on cork aul soccer ?
Liathroidi, Cashmans normally do, but it might be a bit early.
when is the best time to get the best odds ?
Cashman's normally wait until 3-5 games into the season before taking money. For obvious reasons they wait to see how strong some teams are.
To be honest I feel sorry for the refs in the aul it's a thankless job . You have guys playing the game and supporters watching the game that think they know all the rules etc but in fact haven't a clue . Then all it takes is a ref to make 1 bad call and everyone is on their back I don't think forum should be used to mouth off at ref's. We don't see many new faces starting out as refs and can you blame them when all they get is abused without ref's we wouldn't have a league . I've never seen or known a player to go out and have a bad game but yet it happen's same can be said for refs ,
If your training hard all season and a fella makes a mistake or a questionable decision costs them he should explain if asked after the game fellas are paying a fiver or a tenner in some cases for script I think there entitled to an explanation rather than being fobbed off and spoke to like a five year old that's my opinion the leagues should encourage ex players to ref not some fellas after an easy pay day
lads refs shouldnt do the job if they getting decisions wrong week in week out just an opinion not on to slate them
