a bit of a one sided report their boo.more like could ave been 4 up only for 2 great saves from yer keeper and the clearance of the line from gettings,and the missed peno we had.cant remember bella having to make a save only in the shootout,felt we deserved it based on chances created.pens was a lottery...

i think kinsale,leeside,wilton,kilumney and park (when the gaa is not on) would be as good as the bottom half of senior premier.
How is that one sided?? I said ye should have gone two up. Fair enough if ye took every chance it could have been 3. Then again if Leeside took their chances they could have had 3 too. If everyone counted every single chance they get in a game as a potential goal then games would finish 10 goals a piece. Unfortunately that's not the case
If you think that's a one sided comment then maybe one of the neutrals who were there could give their opinion. Thee was a fairly decent crowd there sure
What you are failing to realize is that if the above named teams players wanted to play senior and were good enough to be top senior players they would be already...and also the top senior teams like rockmount avondale and the hall would simply take them from these teams...don't go jumping down my throat and say they are good enough,I'm not saying that,just letting who know how the msl premier teams operate and would be a step up for the likes of lee side who at aul level can dominate and get the best aul players
Wilton probably couldn't sustain senior premier standard for very long in my opinion, good schoolboys academy but players seem to drift away from club after that. leeside are no longer the side they used to be and as one of two of their better players get older i could only see them struggling if they went to senior league. Kilumney not good enough long term as they don't have the set up to attract players and don't have a lot of players coming through. Blarney Street and Park not good enough. Kinsale are probably the only team who could compete long term in senior league but having said that for all their years of dominance in the AUL Premier they have never had a good cut off the FAI Junior cup. A lot of the better teams in this cup would be senior league standard and Cork Junior teams haven't competed for a long time and probably won't in the near future.
i would say neither of your teams would last a year in the msl premier division....if any of the players were really top grade players they would be playing munster senior league already....i would make an exception... for delea of leeside and d.mc carthy of kinsale.....very intelligent players who can mix if they need to!!!plus you can rule out park cos no decent club lasts at the top relying on gaa players.
im basing my opinion on what i have seen from all these teams this season and making a comparison of the aul teams mentioned and the bottom half of senior premier,your gone abit off my point there chiefscout.
Know a few players in the AUL who are asked to play senior on a yearly basis but choose to stay in the AUL due to not being able to commit to senior football cos of work or families or whatever, there are plenty good enough tho
I agree that there are some individual players good enough to playing the Msl,however if wilton leeside kinsale etc wanted to go senior there would have to be drastic changes in the squads for them to compete in the Msl 1st division!
They'd have to sign players no doubt about that but being a senior team surely they'd attract a few players cos like el niño coro just said there are individuals good enough
No doubt there are players good enough and certainly they would be playing senior only for work,family or other commitments but I reckon the step up would be an eye opener.id love to see 3 or 4 teams make the step up and see how they fair.but as I said the vultures from the premier would be circling
El Nino I agree that MSL Premier is a higher standard than AUL Premier, but I think you are trying to rise fellas on here if you are suggesting a team like Wilton would need 'drastic changes' to compete at MSL 1st Div, they would more than hold their own.
What i mean is they would have to add maybe 4 players to add a bit of quality to challenge for promotion to the premier,the MSL 1st division looks to be in two halves with 5 going for promotion and 5 trying to stay up,i have played in the 1st division and i can tell ya it a very very tough league to get out of! Lets hope some teams make the step up soon and we can all put this matter to bed!
All this talk, does anybody know if these teams are going to apply?
Can't see it happening.would the msl allow it?.
I wouldn't think so to be honest, but stranger things have happened
Wasnt there an agreement between both the msl and aul that no teams could switch for 5 years and with that 5 years coming to an end after this season,surely the msl will welcome new clubs because the 2nd division isnt the greatest,i think it was mentioned further back on the thread the clubs that are supposedly ready to make a proposal!
