goal diff. doesn't count in the Aul's books . . . personally think this is a crap decision by them. It counts everywhere else in the world of football, except in our Cork Aul!.
It comes down to play-off!!!.

that's mental, where is the incentive to play attractive football, is this also the case for relegation?

Well done to Douglas Hall yesterday evening. Looks like they've pretty much wrapped up the AUL 1A title with a 1:0 win over Innishvilla to give them a 6 point lead with 6 games left - they are unbeaten through 16 league games this season, for a clubs 3rd team that is a fair record. I wasn't at game so can't give any comments on how it went.
For Innishvilla it is a case of head down for the last 6 games to get the promotion play-off spot and keep pressure on Douglas to keep getting results... 12 points from 6 games will gurantee the runners up spot.

I think a bit of this came from end of season hammerings - a team gets beaten by a cricket score then suddenly give a walkover - 3:0 gives one team a huge advantage...

Personally I think the way they do it in Spain is great, the head to head between the teams...

Can anyone tell me if Greenwood are playing Killumney tonight, the game that was called off last tue week??

Goal difference should not count in Junior football for the reasons above amongst others. Games shouldnt be 14-0 like one did earlier this season. No winners there. Leave the option to blow up early. It counts in schoolboys which is a disgrace

Goal difference does not count in schoolboys if it is to decide winning league, promotion or relegation. There is always a play off for the above 3 if a tie on points.

AUL 1 is hotting up and looks like one of the more interesting run-ins, Glen will win it but between 3 teams for 2nd spot, fairview favourites with games in hand but Crescent and Cathedral still in with a great shout, was up the northside last night for the cathedral game v watergrasshill, cathedral could be a fine side if a couple of additions

Bluey is correct as according to AUL rules 1c 1d 1e and 1f deal with these points and state clearly that relegion title and runner up if finished on equal points will be decided by playoff

Glen will walk it...second place in that league looks very tight...but if all the talk about teams going MSL is true three teams could go up to premier A.
I saw Cathedral play towards the end of last year and was well impressed with them...they had a few ex villa players playing with them.. Monthy up front and one of the o neill brothers in the middle stuck out that night...and the manager was also villa manager years back i think

**padre pio** · 20/04/2012, 3:28 PM

monty got on the scoresheet last night, heard one of the lads on the line say that was his 26th goal of the season, cathedral are very good going forward, good attacking 4 last night, wingers play like extra front men. any official line out yet on whats happening with teams going msl next year?

Monty is a fine player however not too many of the ex Villa lads involved. From what i hear though Calla is doing his best to try and get a few of them back (Betts, Eager, Conor Murray, Keith Shaw,Hammy, Conor and Eoin O'Neill).

It was an awful night and I agree the weather did spoil the game but that was some goal alright that won the game

I dont think any of the players i quoted will actually end up signing. Wont stop Calla from trying though

**Dixie's Cousin** · 21/04/2012, 6:15 PM

Does Park's win today all but wrap the title up?

**Shilts** · 21/04/2012, 6:39 PM

If for instance 2 premier clubs move to the MSL how will those spots be filled??
Will the relegated teams stay up?
Or will the 3rd and 4th teams in premier A be promoted??
