That's very annoying. With the current climate we are in, every club in the league is finding it hard to generate income to keep going, but are things that bad ???Originally Posted by bluey

Folks, can you clarify something for me please. The closure of the transfer window at the end of the month means clubs can't sign players from other clubs until the season is completed. However, what if the player is a free agent ? as in he did not sign for any club in any league during the current season. Can this player register with a club after January 31st or is there just a total ban on signing new players after this date.

I'm almost certain that it is ok to sign a free agent if he has not signed any form that season.
Just to clarify that there is NO boycott of the Cork AUL team by Kinsale players!!!
We just have not received as many invitations as we have in previous years, in spite of our impressive start to the season.
I could suggest plenty of players on our team that I think are worthy of a place in the AUL squad but that's just pub talk.
The manager's opinion is the only one that counts.
Best of luck to Niall and the lads on wednesday night.
Hopefully our friend sharpshooter will bring his scoring boots.
As far as I'm aware its the end of March for a player who isnt signed with any club!! Shetland being the guru on player registrations might be able to confirm that for us ;-)
It's just something we were discussing last night at training. No one, including our secretary, seemed to be 100% sure on the regulation and there doesn't appear to be any clear definition of the rules in the A.U.L. rulebook.

I think i asked before onefootednopace - and as far as i can remember it is the end of March - a quick phonecall to someone in the AUL should answer it - or you could just pretend you thought he was on the master form (sorry couldnt resist shetland!!)
Hey Scaffa, any update on Littleman?
Well Trouble/Dixie it would be unwise of me to confirm anything yet but you never know!! .......as i said before it would be good to see him back on the football field wheather be coaching or managing
WE ARE GOING UP I SAID WE ARE GOING UP!!!!! BOHS CHAMPIONS 1A 09/10
You certainly can sign a free agent. For your own sake make sure he is a free agent.
Saw a very alarming ad in the Pink Pages tonight. I just hope the club mentioned have not come to this. Sad if they have. Page 31. Message board.
The closing date for signing an unregistered player is 31st March.
Jesus Glenbuck, i was waiting for surprise as i opened the page but never expected this. A sad day indeed for a once proud club. One consolation i suppose in that the ad was free................. Embarrassing!
Jesus lads thats embarressing enough the pink pages!!
After he stated a few week back on the aul site that....
'' When recruiting new players we don't want just anybody that can fill the gap''
'' I've set myself some goals that only I and the committee know and we will keep them close to our chest for the time being''
''Some people might think the club is on its knees, but nothing could be further from the truth in fact the club has just climbed the first rung on the way back to the top. The club is in the ascension.''
Well if the pink pages is what he had close to his chest well in afraid the club is on his knees.
Sad really.......
Scaffa Littleman would be a great addition to your club. Even for a small role like doing the homework on opposition and stuff if he wanted to give a bit of a hand
Lads, on the AUL manager using his position to get players to Bandon, did Minty take one at least to Casement with him after the win? Its upto every manager to use his connections surely? He laughed when I told him the other day that he sits at home wondering which AUL players he can steal for Bandon!
Thats crap - stealing from another club. If that is true - the AUL should throw them out. Its that serious. It might only be a ball or a corner flag or whatever, but its the principle. 90% of our board meetings talking about fundraising and these clubs robbing from another. We were out in CIT the other day V Pearse and one of our guys went over a ditch after our ball - spotted one of theirs that we couldnt reach. We marked the spot and went and told their line. Why? Cos every club is struggling.
Lads I can confirm that no one in Grattan placed that ad - was possibly placed by a disgruntled former player
How do you know no one from gratttan sent that add Ola??
You after club hopping to Grattan now?? ha
I own up. I placed the ad. It was part of my conspiracy to annihilate Grattan......................
Nah i placed the ad :-P (joke) I asked the manager last week if he placed the ad or someone in the club - that would have to be ran by him first! It actually appeared in last weeks echo too
