Heard something about no teams being relegated if two teams go Senior League
In recent times, relegated is relegated and filled from below but thats if teams go during the summer. If it happens before season ends then rules can be changed as in 06/07.
Just remember, every kick makes me stronger and more determined. Indians always come back!
This could turn into a farce of a situation....the aul could find themselves with a very poor premier division next season....i agree that if you finish in the bottom two you deserve to go down . But if 3 teams go msl and two get relegated they will have the first five teams in the premier a come up....no matter what happens they will most likely make a balls of it anyway
On the subject of refs, I must mention Gene Stephens from our game midweek - class act. At the other end of the scale, heard another story about Grade 1 ref who is down to do a final in the Cross soon. Handbags in a match - one from each to be sent off from each side - correct so far. Ref called over incorrect player from one side. A 5foot 5 bald guy instead of a 6ft hairy guy!! Everyone was laughing and both teams told him he was wrong! He still didnt change his mind. And they wonder why respect isnt given automatically!

I think I know who you are on about..how he is grade one beggers belief...IM OFF TO WATCH THE PRESIDENTS CUP FINAL TUESDAY NIGHT. Should be a good game for 3rd division teams
Have to agree with comment about Gene Stephens, without doubt the best in the AUL at the moment, having said that he'll probably be back doing senior league next season. His communication with players is excellent and he even does something no other ref seems capable of doing, admitting when he makes a mistake!
I had a look at the premier table this morning and it looks like Park Utd don;t have much to worry about with most of the chasing pack starting to drop points. i also saw Knockavila were deducted 2 points, anyone know why? wonder why it wasn't 3 points which would have put them right in the relegation battle with Greenwood and Leeside.
played an illegal player i think.park have it more than wrapped now id be thinking.
should they not have been docked 3 pts so like kanturk?
Yep looks like Park will be Champs led from start to finish so far watched them a few times and played against them twice glad to say we 1 one and 2 all in the second game . They are a very hard working side with some very good players ie their centre back Shane the left full also left wing and the big lad in c mid with the long throw also helps to have player like Darren up front to knock in the goals . So congrads on winning prem and best of luck next season in the Msl if rumours I hear are correct
As previously stated I have been following the AUL 1 division for the past number of weeks, Glen have had their result against Dillons Cross overturned as Dillons played an illegal player, however from looking at the league table it doesnt seem that Dillons cross have been deducted points- not sure if this decision is still to be made but to ensure consistency surely they will have to be deducted points. Lucky escape for the Glen lads who according to rumours all have nice bets on at 33/1 to go through the season unbeaten, to be fair though they have been playing awesome football
I would like opinions on yellow cards i think its something that should be put up for discussion at AUL AGM, it doesn't seem fair to me that a player can miss an important match at the end of the season for 4 yellow cards 2 of which he may have picked up back at the start of the season and these may cost him taking part in a final or semi-final game at the end of the season then. shouldn't there be a cut off point such as if you get yellow cards at the start of the season or even during the season and maybe go 7, 8, 9 or more games without getting a yellow card that you could maybe have the slate wiped clean and start again or a cut off point in the season where they start afresh again and this would give genuine players a fair chance. Just wondering what people think??
Totally agree with you Boar a midfield player for example should be rewarded for getting to the business end of the season with 3 yellows, to then get banned for picking up a fourth toward the end of the season seems ludicrous- slate should be wiped clean on Jan 1st or the rule should be a ban for 4 yellows on a rolling 10 game basis or something along those lines
I agree there has to be a better system, very unfair to be suspended for a semi final or important league game if you have picked up 4 yellows between League, AOH, League cups and Munster Junior between August and April. especially with the standard of referees except 3 or 4 good refs. Some refs will follow up their traditional "get away from me player!!" with a yellow without any consideration for the club paying the fine or the player involved as its easier than explaining the decision made moments earlier. As i've said already they could all learn from Gene Stephens in the communication department.
On the Premier title race Park look favourites.
But Kilumney and Coachford are not out of it yet.
I think if Coachford win their games in hand (5) they go level with Park
so a lot to play for yet.
