I took it the first Village pre season game today, they were well beaten by Jaybazz 5-2. In all honesty I could of been by more. Village lacked energy, leadership and quality in most areas of the pitch. Arugements between players for everyone to hear and see was shocking. Management fighting with their own Goalie before taking him off, Hickey went on goal. Only a friendly I know and Village were missing, John C, Zack, O Donnell and 1 or 2 more but seems to be no leadership in that team. No one to control a lot of egos. Will be in an interesting few weeks ahead. Any more friendlies around the place coming up? Please let me know.
Huge respect for Len and his work but that shows a bit of what's left over. Being beaten by a shipping league side easily, many here think that couldn't possibly happen. Cow only possible side to stay up in Prem and there we have Jay Bazz. Maybe they would go down too but 5-2 and chaos it seems.
Lots of teams back, anyone know of any games over next few days ?
Nathan Broderick and Howey done deals for Knocka hard to see them not win it this year heard Graham Murphy is back to
Or else they’ll fold after a bad startOriginally Posted by Best xi
Lads I told ye two weeks back Nathan is signed for Knocka and I can guarantee ye that Hoey will never leave rockmount Knocka did get another Rockmount player but it’s not Kenneth be interesting to see what numbers they get tonight training and it also be interesting to see what Grattan has training cause I’m hearing a few or jumping ship good thing going for gatts at the moment Is numbers should be good cause they have B back to fall in with hopefully we get good season ahead of us.
Grattan A and B are two completely separate teams, they never cross over
I passed gratten bout an hour ago with the kids and stopped and was chatting to a member of the b team in gratten said they have good numbers for season ahead but said the A team will probably struggle for numbers as they had to cancel there session this evening, a bad start to season if true, I walked passed knocknaheeney celtic pitch i though they was a friendly going on with amount of players that was down there training, a few new faces there from last season could knocknaheeney celtic match coachford this season? I know it's silly season but any transfers happening around northside southside east and West??
Not best of start to season for Grattan fish they had to cancel training Tue night to and to answer question don’t think anyone will compete with Coachford but hearing Knocka signed well Broderick big signing Luke Greaney from Rockmount good young player and if the two lads sign from Grattan they’ll be strong
I walked up along also seen a bunch of knocka lads must have been 16/17 there including grattan players grattan no training not sure why , also castleview training had good numbers and watched temple seniors next door as there was a friendly on and seen another grattan player playing ,
Not looking good for the gratts
According to lads Grattan only had 5 going training and included in that 5 were lads that were suppose to retire last ten years management really need to get off their behinds and get knocking on doors 4 weeks season be up and running
5 training is a very bad sign!!!
I know it’s holiday season but still and some of their players training with other teams.
Something doesn’t seem right!!!!
Terrible Anthony burns was training with Knocka heard young Jamie from Grattan to Knocka and Adam Lee was playing with temple last night I’m surprised he’s not up with Knocka heard the gaffer is big fan of his
Knocka have another few in the bag lot off lads away still on holidays..anto byrnes looking fit would be a great signing if he signs..don't see y he would want stay with gratts with knockq having that many training but with any team it's need to be week in week out..from my experience lose 1 game in primer it all over
Hopefully Grattan lads just keeping fit over their training being cancelled cause Tue and Thur with numbers both nights they could of trained in telephone box and still had room
I think they’ll need more than adding a load of superstars to compete with coachford. Knocka are building a team for a season, coachford are an established club. If anything managing all the egos might be bad for knocka.
Great point latte one of Daniels attributes was knowing how to manage players and for some reason he had knack of either lying to um for um to stay or getting respect but they always stayed and respected him and won trophies but I’m hearing from reliable source that Derek needs to step back for a while wish him the best but could this upset the knock train hope this not true
Just heard in work that Kaka McCarthy is signing for village as he is unhappy in ringmahon, that’s a huge signing if true
Great signing if Lenny pulls this off great player my opinion just like Luke Casey he’s a step ahead of Aul but be great to see
Would absolutely be a class signing if Village pulled the Kaka transfer off and great for the league also. I see Village beat Carrigaline last night 5-4 sounds like it was a cracker of a game. Anybody catch it? Anymore friendlies around this weekend?
