We're u expecting champagne football in pre season ? ? We did well at times scoring couple of good goals with great build up play
Allan martin resigns as rockmount manager tonight .Work commitments is the problem .
Sad to hear that about Alan, lovely lad and totally committed to the cause above in Mount. Interesting to see who goes in there now.....especially with a manager change at Dale as well.
Managing in the Prem is a tough gig to be honest, takes a heck of a lot of time and energy. With work and family I can see why fellas don't stay at it for long.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
Sorry Pep, will try harder next time.
Fri we were full strength and scored 4 good goals v Mayfield. Sun missing 2/3 but gave a good account of ourselves for 1st 20 mins v Midleton and again once they made their sec half changes. A pleasure to be invited down there to take part in a very good pre season competition. Thanks to all involved for that, we all realise the effort that goes into it.

Lads can't believe there's been so little activity on this post, has it been confirmed that Alan has left rockmount ? If so had it anything to do with the lack if numbers they have had up there in pre season ? Time for Billy to return, huge job with such little time to the start of the Keane cup
Very little super I agree what s going on up In Everton park any signings our any news ?
Leeside vs Mayfield tomorrow night in the annual Denis Cambridge Memorial match, k/o 7 pm in Mayfield.
A big loss to rockmount and to cork football.
Work commitments my eye, RIP Rockmount
Best one i hear in ages, work commtments my eye, couldnt evn get junior aul players to sign, billy cronin he aint, hopefully avondale will go the same way they dont bring throug any youth
Been left down for a friendly in Fermoy on Sat afternoon. Anyone free and able to play at such late notice? Pls call if so.
Cheers.
Edit: the magic of foot.ie again strikes in less than 30 minutes. All sorted now. Game fixed for Sat.
This site really is a great local soccer amenity for bringing clubs players and fans together. Fair play to all who run it. And best of luck to one and all over the coming season.

i also think alan martin quitting rockmount is just an excuse to get out,surely before pre season started he knew what's the story with work.if it's cos of the lack of player it's only going to get worst for the club now cos whoever did sign for alan martin will surely move on
I think that a lot of people on this site are very quick to kick a man when he's down. Alan martin has been a fantastic man for both rockmount and local football in general. He had a very tough job to follow billy, and in my opinion his spell in charge was a pretty successful one considering that avondale have been near invincible for the past 5yrs.
I would like to see some of the couch potatoes on this site give the time and dedication that Alan martin has given.
Alan doesn't owe Rockmount a thing. Gave them great service as player/ Manager and given this service I hope it was his decision to walk away. Good luck to him in whatever he does...
I was laughed at on here about a year ago when i said rockmount would be down in division one within 5 years,maybe i was being too generous when i said 5!!!
Who is going to take the job next .?
Maybe u el nino?
Since u did play with them for awhile!
Alan Martin legged it faster than the captain of the costa concordia,why should i pick up his mess!
Come on Coro Alan got the best out of an average enough team,and still won some silverware last season.
