[Innishvilla]

. Mmm, Bella can ya give us a bit more detail?

I agree... Oh what we would do for a Knockavilla players description of the event!!!

[bellavistaman]

He ran at the ref but noever got to him, if he did well maybe but he didnt. The ref did well and went up to far corner. Simple as. End of.

[therise]

Alright Rise!

No ball in Dublin at the moment. In fact, the last time I kicked a ball in anger was with Wilton two seasons ago. Up the walls with work unfortunately.

Didn't realise you posted on here. Good to see a Cork AUL thread eventually.
Who are the main rivals in the Premier A this season. What kinda team do ye have? Any new lads? Thats a lot of questions! I need answers!

Keeping you up to date Discopants. Won 5-1 away to Macroom.

Drew 1-1, we could have won it easily bt we didnt get out of blocks a all in 2nd half until nearly 20 mins gone, bella had goal disallowed for offside, i was never off swear , but even the defender said i was never off like, anyway in a humourous note the ref pulled his calf, , actually quite a god ref though very fair just doesn't understand the offside rule. . To me leeds are better team than Ballyvolane who beat us 3 nil and they definitly play better football so best of luck to them.

Big weekend in league:
Kinsale 3 : 1 Villa
Park 1 : 1 Grattan...
Ballypheane 2 : 1 Glenthorn

Littleman what happened???

Le Tizz were you at Kinsale game?

[Shilts]

Kinsale won very comfortably last sat v Villa. 2 Derek McCarthy goals early on set Kinsale up for the 3 points and it really should have been 5 by half time. Villa nearly made a game of it by scoring from a free kick in the 2nd half (their only shot on target all day) but Derek Varian finished it with a fantastic lob over Paddy O'Shea soon after.
Kinsale created chances at will. I can see how they've been getting some high scores already this season. The front two of McCarthy and Varian look pretty unstoppable at this level.
I wasn't surprised that Park drew with Grattan. Park gave Kinsale 2 very good games last year and were the only team to beat Grattan. They could be a dark horse this year (if you can say that about a team who finished 3rd last year).

just noticed there on Billy Lyons webiste http://billylyons.blogspot.com/ that during ballyphehanes match with posal there was a MOTM award given out, how long has this been going on.

[le tizz]

it was all summed up by shilts gentlemen ! kinsale started strongly, played some very good football for most of the game and could have won by a lot more if they took a few more of the chances they created, gave away a silly free kick which was well converted by villa midway thru the 2nd half but 3-1 and 3 points will do just fine for the opening game, derek mccarthy ran the show for the seasiders and derek varian had flashes of sheer brilliance, he has bundles of ability, its just getting him to perform over the 90 minutes that will make him any better, good solid performance by all and the football played at times was great to watch, t-shirts, shorts & shades all round at the seaside, what else would you be doing !!
there was a bit of a fracas at half time between one of the villa subs & one of the lads on the line, a few slaps thrown and looked like there was a lot of anger with whatever went on, villa struggling for results and leaking goals, could be a long season for them
we'd all be interested to hear the report from o'neill park littleman, did ye leave it after ye or did park perform as predicted (by me), ballyphehane also off the mark with a win, lookin at the photo on billy's site they look like a team full of young fellas, wonder will they have the experience to compete over a full season and give a good account of themselves in the cups, good luck to em
a good team can win silverware but its takes a great team to win year in year out, hopefully the aul will run things better than last year and not have the mental end to the year with 3 games a week,
if you're tuning in aul committee you have to give preferential treatment to the teams that will perform across league & cup competitions, this is the premier & the premier a teams and no offence to the rest, postponing games and missing fixtures should not be tolerated during the year unless absolutely necessary, if a premier team was to reach the final of all competitions (or even get a decent run such as grattan in the fai last year) they have to get some help at the end of the season for league games, not be punished for their success by playing every 2nd night to catch up with fixtures once the summer evenings come back ! we should be trying to help the cork clubs compete better in the fai & munster junior cups
nobody wants to miss a w/e's football this time of the year because of other teams being facilitated to fulfill games which can be run off later in the year !
sorry bout the rant fellers
what news from hollyhill's stadium of light littleman ??
well done to wilton, is that old fella anto buckley still playin ?

I think it started last season. Its for the man of the match in the "match of the week" not just any match billy covers.

yes sorry meant to say only for Billy's Match of the week...

[bogwarrior]

Was the AUL squad announced?

[Innishvilla]

Just noticed it's a very quiet weekend for the "top" sides in terms of league games and close to predict cup games. Kinsale, Park free weekends;
Mostly FAI Junior 2nd round games:
Grattan playing Mayfields seconds...
Ballypheane v UCC a bit unknown...
Leeside v Macroom could be interesting but Macroom got stuffed 5:1 by Wilton last week.
Bella: Greenmount v Springers prediction???
I suppose Wilton are one of the form teams at the moment. They play Brookelodge.

Littleman: you were asking us to post loads on the website but you've gone very quiet the start of the week...

Slow start for ye. Ballyvolane aren't great to watch but on fairness they seem to pull a few results out, beat us twice last season.

Bucks is still hanging in there, pulling the strings in midfield. The hairs nearly gone but the legs are still going

[Innishvilla]

Looks like Grattan have a free weekend now as well, Billy Lyons' site saying their game with Mayfield is cancelled...

[bellavistaman]

Bella: Greenmount v Springers prediction???
.

We should beat them, hate playin in Murph's Farm though. Am confident alright.

Slow start for ye. Ballyvolane aren't great to watch but on fairness they seem to pull a few results out, beat us twice last season.

Agreed a point of possible 6 is bad, but draw away to leeds not a bad result.
