Blackstone 1 - 2 Macroom

Welcome to Premier A football - Not sure if any neutrals watched this game but if they did i'd be interested to hear their opinion - to be honest we started very well in this game and got caught on the break in the 15th minute - we played good football throughout and I thought we stretched macroom a lot - we created numerous chances but didnt take them - We equalised just after the start of the second half - We were pushing for a second when we were again caught on the break - Cant really criticise anyone of our players to be honest - thought everyone did very well - just need to be more clinical in front of goal and we'll be fine - i think the macroom management were surprised by what they saw - losing Jason Forde through injury the night before was a big loss - he gives us that something extra

Glen Celtic 3 Park Utd 2

A good start for The Glen in a section where all points picked up will be very important come next may. Am working today so just got the info from one of the lads. We went 1 down and Brendan Long equalised from the penalty spot. Shane Hurley put us 2-1 up with a header. Park made it 2-2 late in the second half and Hurley scored the winner with a rocket into the top corner from outside the box with a few minutes remaining. Roll on Mayfield next Sunday Morning.

Our B team won 4-0 today against richmond. great start to the season lets hope we can push on from this

Great win for Blarney Street down in Coachford. I noticed casilles had been quiet on here all summer and I was wondering if Blarney Street were quietly going about their business and not talking themselves up. I think they could be in for a really good season this year. If it hadnt been for a terrile start last year they could have challenged.

I assume they have brought in one or two players, not that casilles seems to be willing in letting us know, maybe littleman will know.

Good result for Grattan but I think we would have expected them to win this one at home.

Kinsale and Leeside a draw. Leeside probably the happier here I suppose. I think avoiding defeat is important in your opening game so maybe Kinsale arent too disappointed earlier.

Blackstone probably a bit disappointed, but losing Jason Forde was probably a huge loss for them.

AUL1 Grangevale 2 - Postal Celtic 1

tough game played in terrible conditions.... We went one up after an hour, Postal equalised with 15 to go. We were awarded & scored a pen in the 88th min to win 2-1. Delighted to get off to a winning start

Thats what we found last year making the step up from first division to premier A, we were dominating teams and end up losing one nil, I'd even say that the standard of football is the same its just Premier A teams are more clinical in front of goal. We won 2-1 against Rylane this morning, shocking weather, even our pitch which usually holds upwell, partly due to our "drainage system" cut up bad, were missing seven players so a good 3 points against a decent team.

It's going to be tough with so many games (26 in the league alone) but we have kept everyone from last year and added a few more so we'll be hoping for at least top 4/5 if we can keep everyone fit.... some might say it's a optimistic but we have anice mix of youth & experience so we're looking forward to it... what about yourselves?

How are we pacman nice to hear from you

Iv been quiet because im away with work all summer wont be home till mid Oct. but been keeping uptodate with comings and goings. Well as is well known Derek stepped down and a few left but we have a new managment in place who talking to the lads has brought his own ideas to the table, 24 signed and numbers are high for training, cit i hear is where were playing but dont quote me on that yet{ started down in pfizers but for the price journey and the set up it wasnt worth it} We will give it our bests ad usual and witha bit of luck we might be in the shack up hpoefully come the new year, which i think most teams would be happy with. Had an awful start last year 1 point from 12 so a good start is defentily needed. any ways best of luck to all clubs and hopefully we will all enjoy the good the bad and whatever comes in between

**littleman** · 06/09/2009, 8:48 PM

Hello lads,I donr mean to have a rant or even a cranky comment but please excuse me as I have a few little thigs to address.

1st, my very sincere appoligies to the Park lads if the showers were up to scratch Saturday,anyone who knows me will know I have always taken great pride in making sure the travelling side are well treated,we only have our dressin rooms a week,teethin problems are still bein dealt with.

2nd,why when teams win or lose are they always missin the usual 3 or 4 regulars,its the first game of the season..You have been waitin for 2months for this so if ya miss it why make the excuse u have lads out,you win look forward to the next one,you lose look forward to the next one.From each ya learn somtin.

3rd. Personally again Cork is a small place an if a really good player went from one club or league to another then it would be on this site first thing wether truth or rumor. Example ,,,,,,,,,,Cans is back with the Gratts if ya follow me. To finish if a club is seen ti be quiet its one of 2 answers,1 they have nothin to brag about,,,,,,2,,,,,,,,,,their bluffin,,,,,,,guess we will have to wait an see whos bluffin,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

why are ye always missing players when ye dont win its a sad excuse

seriously littleman - could you please articulate your comment properly?
The first part I can understand - part 2 and 3 look like an attack on people?
(not saying iits me!!)

I could have come on here and said we were missing Paul Hayes , Warren Forde, DODs . Llyod Leahy and Jason Forde plus Mark O Mahoney but i didnt - do i think they could have made a big difference - yes i do - but do i know if macroom were missing any then the answer is no - however i did know that certain clubs were going to suffer due to electric picnic. lads as we all know there are fellas in clubs who dont give a toss - and tell you at the last minute they will be missing

People come on here Littleman to give their opinion - i try to be as honest as I can without
1 - getting myself in trouble
and
2 giving too much away

but i do realise people are entitled to their opinion and stating people were missing is their right!!! the same as it is yours to express your opinion

**olachico** · 06/09/2009, 11:21 PM

On a totally seperate note my username is OLACHICO - thats O L A C H I C O

**littleman** · 07/09/2009, 9:45 AM

Cas,someone passed a comment about the Street not bein very vocal any more an you didnt so boo,I passed a general comment,you then decide its about your club.Thats bein a bit paranoid,someone asked a question about your club,there quite entitled to,if they got no answer there then quite entitled to think what ever they want.

For me I'm more interested in the players that have left clubs since last season than the ones they have signed,because as I have all ready said Corks a small place an we'd hear if anything major was happening player wise.

I'm not into draggin clubs or players into open conversation,any comments made are just observations with regards to the bigger picture,the games themselves.

By the way the Killer B's got done Sunday mornin,2/1 up an lost 2/5 to Strand.Rained start to finish .

Horse , hope its nothin serious with Jason.

OLACHAIO, I did my leaving cert ok an got a B plus in English but I didnt bother going on to collage to do my journalism degree so please forgive me if my strucuture and that other big word you used arent up to scratch.

I will do my best in future to ensure all my comments are easy to follow.

**Horse24** · 07/09/2009, 10:20 AM

Littleman,

After agreeing so many times in a row, we were bound to diagree on something!

On the refs thing, I get what your saying about the dispute resolution, but, it aint over until its over, so I would like to keep it live.

You and others commented on guys mentioning missing players. i think it actually helps us understand the result more. - If they are missing some, it doesnt take from the win of the opposition, but it lets us know that maybe the true team may not have been out. The again, we all know that soemtimes the bare 11 play a better game than a full squad - eg our game against Wilton last year.

Poor Mr Olachico disnt take our defeat well it seems...........I like that!!!

**olachico** · 07/09/2009, 11:23 AM

Tried to log in for ages but it seems i'm the one spelling my username wrong all this time!

Littleman I wasnt suggesting that you do your journalism degree - I'm aware that sometimes my posts can be long winded and lose the point but that one was downright impossible to understand - if you have something to say just say it - if you have something to say about someone or a club just say it

That one just seemed like a bit of a riddle

Littleman i enjoy reading your posts and value your opinion as someone who has been a player , secretary and manager in the AUL and sorry if you are offended but half the posters on here probably thought you were having a dig with that post

I'm leaving it there now and moving on!!

On a side note - Castleview didnt play Leeds in the Premier A - something to do with the pitch - was it water logged or what?? This game was to be played on Saturday - did anyone hear anything??
