Totally agree about 2leg semi....the aoh is the holy grail of cork football.....down through the years there has been some great ties and excitement with a handy few scalps for lower league teams....but with the 2 semi legs I think it kills the excitement and looses the cup feeling..I would really like to see a lower league team make the final and there is a good chance looking at the drawOriginally Posted by our_ball_ref
All that has to happen say, Killumney avoid pearse and coachford ( provided they advance to semi) the say Killumney play Hibs and one of other play Waterloo if the so called bigger teams both lose 1-0 in the first game I don't think it would bother them because you'd have to fancy the premier teams over 2 legs, so I think it will take major luck of the draw to have an so called weaker team.. 1 game IMO
Looking at last 16, i'd fancy, Kilreen, Douglas Hall, Glen Celtic, Kilumney, Castleview making it to last 8, chances of a shock winner very small in my opinion.

you need a decent ref to when the big guns play the so called small boys...we had a right beut in the aoh last year.coachford were 4 down last year in 1st leg and made a right game of it in the 2nd leg also to be honest killumney deserved to win somthing..killumney play good football.
Its not the premier league hes hardly gonna be influenced by a histile crowd out in killeady A decent ref has nothing to do with it for the lower clubs to beat the higher ranked sides it comes down to luck their attitude or even the other team to think they just have to turn up killumney have to be favs as holders but i fancy coachford if they can get past pearse theyll be eager to make up after the semi they left behind them last year
great club and great people out in killumney iv great respect for them .the ref was poor on the morn we had a perfect goal not given.1-0 right up to 80 mins we fell short.he cost us in what was a poor 1st half for us ..then that legend of a keeper they had took 5 mins for every goal kick lol .how did coachford leave semi behind them they wer taken apart in 1st leg 4-0 and won 2nd leg 2-0 i think damage was done in 1st leg but lets be fair here killumney were worth their aoh cup win.

You took me up wrong i just used kileady as an example a smaller club needs everything to click but all upsets have there fair share of luck
They could have won the second leg 10 nil got no favour from the official who lets say not fans of the Coachford manager but that's not here or there I think they'll go one further than last year
Bohemians 1 - 1 Grattan United.
Hard-fought contest between two sides hunger for local bragging rights. Pitch was poor, players were slipping all game. Bohs had an early goal disallowed due to offside but lot say he was onside. Then minutes later, Bohs win a penalty and big Davy made it 1-0. It was a scrappy affair and Bohs went in 1-0 at the break.
We came out second half wanting it a bit more and scored after 10 minutes of the restart through a nice finish from Sean Lynch. We pressed and pressed and then with 5 minutes to go we thought we had won it but Wayne O'Connor's goal was deemed offside which he clearly wasn't, even Bohs players admitted that it was on. Pops was fouled then after that in the box and again we didn't get the decision we wanted. Ref sent off defender Paul Lynch late on for giving his opinion on the penalty decision.
Happy with the point as we were 1-0 down. No game this week.
you could be right we see if longshot keeps at it you never know.will you be at aul v msl next week godno9.
When's it on
next weds i think but theres some great games on at the weekend 1st to take in .i hear there.s a few big moves in the window when it opens,best of luck to both glen teams at the weekend.
Who's the big moves 1for?? I heard a very big one aswell today
i just got told that one aswell no truth in that dont know where it came from .
Really looking forward to the AUL game next Wednesday. I reckon it could be the game when all Donal and the squads hard work finally clicks. I predict a huge performance and a convincing win. Another hat trick for baby Zico could be on the cards. He's on fire and the MSL will know it and won't relish facing him in this form.
Just what the pitch's of cork needed another night of rain .
Heard from a Killumney player they are looking to sign a few players. Centre half from Greenwood?
leftside thats a yes and everyone i cant send msg on here to in box ok and no the big move is not who you think it is .... i think all the big clubs will move on players to keep the squads on their toes and be in the hunt for silver.the prob is who will want that challange to get in teams. i got one last year it was the diffrence for us.
