Played them earlier in the season and i thought they were a very good team to be honest i think they struggle with getting people to turn up but if they have a full team and all fit and well they can be very hard to break down

Keeper is good aswell

shane duggan signed for cork city hes a small but tough lad he lives in lmerick he is a very good signin

**Duster Bouglas** · 14/01/2010, 9:48 PM

Lads, Anybody know if Knockvilla have parted company with their manager sine christmas

**littleman** · 14/01/2010, 9:54 PM

3 things,

1st Connie,this iis the Cork Aul,im not sure tellin us Shane signed for Cork City is a good thing,your club has a more stable base than City,an probably a better squad too.

2nd,I didnt even know who was managing Knockavilla in the 1st place,

3rd an most important of all,on Billys Blog the draw for the Oscar is on,why are we not encluded an Kerry are,what the hell has gone on their,,,,,,,,,,,,,

**streetscene** · 15/01/2010, 12:49 AM

Connie i believe it is true that Knockavilla parted company with their manager...Pat Downey was in charge when we played them before christmas but i heard from one of their players he is gone... tough time to bring in a new manager especially when they are struggling....
keith Kelleher is a top notch player and as already posted his commitment is open to question bit littleman if ye can get it out of him then ye will have made a great signing...
We have signed two good players ourselves in neil greaney from glenvale...neil played with glenthorn last year and is a fine midfielder with loads of experience and we also signed young Shane o Mahoney from ballyvolane..Shane is a player with lots of potential saw him take a great goal for grattan against us last year and delighted to have them both on board... hopefully we will have one or two more before end of window... 16 training last night and rearing to go for our match away to park on Sat... Parkboy any idea how its looking pitch wise down yer way????
By the way did anyone attend the seminar with Damien Richardson over xmas...if so any feedback...wasnt able to make it but interested to know what it was about
Owl im not sure i agree with your sentiments....once the final whistle blows for me thats it i dont hold any grudges...lifes too short!

What the hell just saw that too...

It is all messed up
- according to that 2 team from group 8 are through Dublin AUL and Wicklow.
- Kerry and Limerick Desmond weren't even in the same group???
- No team from qualified groups 3 and groups 7 are listed
- Clare and Galway aren't in the same group???

I was about to give out but lets not forget this competition is run by the FAI...

Was surprised to see Neil Greaney playing second division to be honest!! Also impressed me when he did play for Glenthorn! A lot of players in that Glenvale side are probably too good for that level - I wonder if they will lose a few more before the window shuts

**the owl** · 15/01/2010, 9:24 AM

Street, relax a little bit there bud. That text wasnt to be taken seriously at all. Anyway, Shane kept that very quiet, hadnt seen him for a while but the last i had heard he was injured. Nice lad, think he found it hard to break into the team but i wish him all the best with ye.
All games still on so far ??

Supposed to be a bit of a deluge tonight - if the weather forecast is accurate then we'll get another week off

Yeah but it is a bit tough on Glenvale, build a strong team looking to push on in cups and win league to get to higher divisions and mid-season they start leaking players...

You are a bit too sentimental for my liking Innish

Its survival of the fittest - some people would say those players shouldnt have been playing at that level anyway

**the owl** · 15/01/2010, 11:22 AM

I agree chico, no room for sentiment anymore and in alot of cases recently, loyalty. Maybe some of these players are struggling to make an impact at there respective club so decide to play elsewhere.

**Horse24** · 15/01/2010, 12:39 PM

Im back after a quiet spell.

Good to see streetscene back.

Is that the Youths inter league draw lads?

Owl, game should be ok for tomorrow.

Loyalty is rare and volunteerism even rarer!!!

**the owl** · 15/01/2010, 1:22 PM

Horse, thats great news. Finally a game, fingers crossed.Time for one of us to eat into kanturks lead !!
Cheers.

Some people call it sentiment others call it loyalty. I'm not sure but I suppose having only ever worn one colour jersey in my career I would have a different point of view to some others (also I was never good enough to be "tapped up" by another club). I can see the point of view of trying to better yourself by signing for a new club as high in the leagues as possible but why not do that at the start of the season not half way through when your playing with a winning side that you are probably an integral part of? I think a club would be impressed if they approached a player and he said he'd love to join in the off-season as he'd like to finish what he started this season with his current club (I know I would be anyway) - that's the type of player and attitude I'd want in my team/squad.

**olachico** · 15/01/2010, 2:06 PM

I'm all for loyalty Innish !! Spent 17 years with one club til it was thrown back in my face

If you re-read my post innish you'll see that i said that some people would have thought he shouldnt be playing at that level anyway - so got to respect a fella too who decides maybe he'd be better off playing at a higher level!!
