Boo, It may be cheaper slightly though not much to rent facilities but you need a sense of "home". In some of those places that you can rent, you might not know what pitch you are on from week to week. Its not the fact that we dont want what others have. I walked into Carrigaline on Sunday week last to see great facilities, with the all-weather full of 7 year olds & the pub buzzing. Gives us something to aim for. It took Carrig a bit longer than our 11 years to do that. Its about luck as well - would the Little Island Community be able to afford the facilities in todays "Borat-like" economy?
If Celtic Tiger was in existense today, we may have been in the pathway of a new road - where would they have put us then? Im sure the powers that be would have been under pressure to find us somewhere suitable - who knows what we could have gained from the deal? You are correct about the open draws in the Cups - dressing rooms & showers are needed and rightly so. In your own county though, a bit more leeway could & should be expected. Look after your own and all that.
Boo, I dont understand your comment about how not promoting teams without facilities will help the likes of Inisvilla(Inis, just using ye as an example)?
As it stood at the weekend up in Gratts, the whole first team was gone and by the sounds of it, the Committee has burned bridges that may take a while to repair. I hope it gets fixed.
Unfortunately Holden, I missed the visit to ye at the end of the season. good reports all round though.
The three big ties in the AOH Cup are Park/Kilumney, Bohs/Springfield & Knockavilla/Macroom - tough to call them. 3 or 4 more ties that could spring suprises. I live in Passage and Oli has some ex troops playing for them and so our tie has added spice!
Sorry Shilts, I forgot about the Bandon lads - just used to seeing half a dozen Kinsale names.
Cas, pretty much spot on with your league comparisons. The leagues will have to amalgamate sometime to take the game forward in Cork, so the facilities rule may come in whether we like it or not.
Boo, you didnt give us a chance to come up with conspiracy theories - thats part of the fun and in the week of the JFK anniversary and all!! Is there a grassy knoll in Leeside???? Nice people they were - fairplay to them.
Cant you just see Boo in his "I Love Littleman" t-shirt?????
Great post Horse, spot on all through, if Grattan situation not sorted quickly their B team will have to turn out in Premier league as i believe the rule states that a club with 2 teams who are folding one must fold the B team and support the A. AUL gave them one weeks grace last weekend to get sorted.
leeside in trouble doubt it very much...i hope they are for our game sunday tho..welcome dixie what club you with yourself?
"Winning isn't everything. Wanting to win is."
Hey Holden, Out of the game at the moment. Work related. It's not nice seeing teams losing club men, but if a committee make a decision people have to hounour it. Does anybody why the Leeside management decided to call it a day?
Ref: theBooBoys
- are you involved (playing/coaching/supporter) of Leeside B team. If so must commend ye on a good draw last week vs Carrig. How did match play out, was a draw a deserved result for both sides. Any info on them?
Who you with Offside?? If its corinthians MSL, carrigs opponents this week, I back the AUL side all the way, getting no info here
Boo when were ye informed of the manager's decision to step down?
Keeping events in house for time being while we sort through the names of potential successors
boo any truth an ex douglas hall manager has been one of those approachedOriginally Posted by thebooboys
Good man boo although i think offside has springfield written all over it. Carrig, bunch of animals, physical, and play all long ball. Guaranteed for half the team to be hungover or still drunk !!!!!!!!
hi boo wat would the chances of littleman getting the job
2 hopes of that i'd say, Bob and No
A few people on this thread do not seem to be associated with any clubs or they are telling a few porkie pies!!! Ye seem to care about the game by the quality of your posts. I would advise ye to get involved with some club - any club. Even if ye have limited time, people who care about our football are few and far between. Any club, it doesnt matter. They will benefit from yer knowledge and enthusiasm and ye will benefit from the warm fuzzy feeling a win gives!!! More than welcome down our way in any shape or form, as Im sure all other clubs would say. "Time is as valuable as money".
I assume you are talking about me? I have friends in most northside clubs so i hear alot of information.
Dixie i think what Horse means is that if you have an interest in AUL football but are unattached why not get involved with someone - there are a few on here who are "unattached" - seems a waste really with clubs ALWAYS looking for volunteers. I for example went to Blackstone last year to join the commitee and i was coerced into management!!
Hi Olachico, i am looking to get back that was the reason I came on here to see who was looking for Volunteers!
Well Dixie pleny of clubs are looking for people - so you should have no problem. i know Blackstone would be delighted with some extra help if you are interested
Who were you involved with before??
