The making of a team.

**Jdrams fan** · 08/03/2009, 3:49 PM

Hi all listen heres a thread that hopefully will be all about the football matters ie. on the pitch matters, if we play in the A league what and who do ye think should run the team manager wise and of course player wise. I personally think this could be a great chance for some of our younger players around the town to show their potential on a bigger stage and if you look at the bigger picture if we can compile a good young squad now, if and when we are ready to return to the topflite then we will have a hungry young team with expierience, who would be mostly local lads that could potentially be a match for anyone.
If they are mostly local hopefully people will want to come out and watch them and if with the right management they are in any way successful then the only way is up for us all.

I agree we need to use our youth players as much as possible but we will also need some experence in the mix,not sure what kind of contracts our ex players have with their MSL teams but it would be great to have them back..On the manager situation its going to be difficult to entice a quality manager to come in and travel up and down the country with little or no wages and a small budget whatever it may be,anybody in the town worth a shot??

**Jdrams fan** · 08/03/2009, 4:36 PM

as i said i dont want to get into the politics in the club but i think we will have to rely on the youths marty because with the budget we would have there would't be any alternative. and if we do use the youths then maybe a manager that knows them all would be the wisest choice. Yes i do agree with you in hoping some of our previous players would come back buy who knows, but listen thanks for keepin about the footy.

Avery good pt there jd.surely we have the talent in the town to get the basis of a good squad.it certainly is the way foreward and as you know the more locals in the squad the more interest from the people in the town

You are spot on, there are many good players in the Cobh teams under 17's,18's and last years under 20's and A League.
if you look at Cork City you have all the best players from Cork City west cork, Kerry and futher afield compared to Cobh most are made up from players living in Cobh plus a few from the city.Corcoran, two Spillane's , Kearney and I think a few more I don't know their names.
Compare the two clubs and you will see City is just shading in games,and not by much. That is why its important to keep the team in the A League and if there is an under 19's or 20's league of Ireland competitions.
Forget whats going on off the field as everyone is divided, why not go and support the youth teams next week, I hear the under 17's are playing Carrigaline in semi finals at St Colemans part Sunday.
Show the off field problems are not dividing the supporters.

Would;nt it be a good Idea to set up a poll and see how many true supports are still left in the club, like the one someone set up for the manager awhile ago.
Also give them a few options to vote on, let all the supports know and ask them to vote
Why don,t you get your heads together and put a poll in place, no in house crap just positive voting and you will get a full picture where you as a club is really wanted to go.

at last lads nearly a full page of nothing but football and a lot of excellent suggestions to boot. These players ye are all talkin about are the lads that could make us great again this club needs the kids both on and off the pitch and in sayin that i mean if the young people come out to watch thier buddies playin to a high standard then then the rest will follow e.g. there parents will come along and off we go as a club growing again. If you can remember the buzz that was in this town when we beat athlone thats where we want to get back to and this is where we need to start from so lets give eddies team a chance if thats what we want and then lets give them the support they deserve through thick and thin and mark my words the only way is up lads.

**Colin08** · 10/03/2009, 8:58 AM

There is never nebody from Cobh at Cobh underage games, some supporters ye are !!!!!!!

**Life Member** · 10/03/2009, 4:28 PM

Have Cobh Ramblers got an A Licence ?

**watcher** · 10/03/2009, 4:35 PM

At this moment Cobb don't. have a C1 car license never mind an A championship license

**Life Member** · 10/03/2009, 5:12 PM

Perhaps their Secretary should come on here to give us an up date on whats happening re Licence, team and manager.

**disillusioned** · 10/03/2009, 5:14 PM

That's something to build on. The club must now press on and the best way is through the A League back into the 1st Division again.

This could be the Chairman an Committee bestl season bringing the club back from the brink.

If the club is recapitalised by the FAI and the club is back in the league proper it will be some feat.

**don ramo** · 11/03/2009, 6:38 AM

not gonna quote all the stuff lads, but yes, we do have the honour of having an extremely wealthy pool of talent on our town, and players coming here to ply there trade,

but you must not think that raw talent alone can become great, they have to be guided through the pitfalls of what can happen during a game, how to pick themselfs up after the fall, and for that we will have to have 5-6 players with a few years LOI expierience,

players like mucky and john meade, we need these players in our team when it comes time for kick-off, forgetting A league, when were back in the first division, haveing those 5 players, with the young fellas would be the difference of 3-4 places in the league,

so dont be forgetting that, even though we have the raw talent, it is yet to be refined,

**luka** · 11/03/2009, 8:07 AM

ell, as we'll be playing A League this year under Dave Hill then I'm sure he'll be able to make something of what's available to him. I suspect that we'll be using many of the youths team as well. Nothing official of course but just an educated guess.

**pcplod** · 11/03/2009, 8:12 AM

is it offical that we are in A league and if so when was the revenue and players paid ?

Great news if all of this is done
