I think we were all shocking Relahni mate, but like you said, 2-a-side is shite, look how long it took us to decide where to put the goal ffs, the positive thing is making the effort to get up there and every little helps.
Enjoy your few days away and we'll see you next week. rest of us, business as usual Sat' morn. who's gonna be available? I'm not going out tomorrow night so there wont be any excuse/reason/pussyfootingaround.
Next time there's a practice with just a few people, I think the best thing to do would be practising tackling or something...or keeper, one of the would-be defenders and the rest getting some shooting practice...
I'm having a quiet night in tonight so to be fresh for tomorrow. The fact that I've been boozing for the last three days in a row has nothing to do with my decision to have a quiet night. It's all about the football.
probably be a non event like the other night but I'm still turning up... even to jog/run around the park etc.. and maybe try and join in with others, if we don't get enough that is.
peace and have a good bank holiday (relahni/rollem that is)
LD - PC is ready so I'll bring it with me tomorrow for ya.
see, I think shambles is unfair.. we haven't played a proper game yet, and 2 a side in the park is no judge.. maybe if rollem had ever come and watched up play 5-a-side she'd think differently
what time is it on saturday lads? I'd like to come but I may have to devote some time to the missus..... or what about Monday, seeing its a bank holiday?
Monday is a no no for me I'm afraid ... 11am tomorrow if it's on? I'll be there tomorrow anyway, even if it is just to be bumping K and wobbling around the park for an hour or 2
Prob' best to knock it then guys. If I'm honest I have shit loads of work to do at home cos I'm gonna be moving soon and need to get this place ready to rent.
Will have to be Wednesday, full effort from us all. gaffer and relahni'll be back, flimsiers foot should be better. what ya think?
I've already had a text from Chris saying he still wasn't feeling well so wasn't gonna come anyway. No harm done, just couldn't happen today. We live to play another day, Wednesday.
Might be for the best. Went for another run today - five miles again 45 mins this time! Off out for my mates wedding reception in an hour, so no doubt will undo all that work this morning.
I think we need to start thinking about 7 of us turning up on Weds. By my calculation there is 10 of us. JTG can't make it and Sleater is off on hols - so that makes 8 including LD Rudeboys mate.
We need to have 7 a side matches. So far I've only played two 7 a sides with you lot. Winning one and losing one, but it gives you a good idea of what to expect etc.
Two a side don't do that, although I guess it's better than nowt. I think we've got two weeks to do it now - hopefully that's at least three decent sessions til the tournament.
I'd be up for playing footie on Monday but if there's only gonna be 3/4 of us - maybe there's no point?
I reckon next Weds we should see if we can either get a friendly against the hosts as Rollem said or see if we can play against 7 of our mates.
If we can get 14 of us - including mates. Then we can have 3 matches of 10min each half - to give us a feeling of how it's gonna be on the day.
Am still well up for this, even though it's gone a bit pear shaped with people dropping out of training etc.
Like I said, am up for Monday but think we should seriously think about setting up a decent match against mates on Wednesday.
Relahni, I agree, I just do not want to risk my foot at the moment. The last time I played and the after-effects taught me to not bother until I can at least run on it with no pain.
FWIW, there are a (few) of my football team who are after some small games. I reckon two or three must be up for football on a Wednesday. Should I email them?
In addition, it'd be nice to keep this going after the football tournament? What do people think? There are a number of 5-a-side leagues that run. Is it worth investigating entering an urban team?
Oh, I'm a maybe for Monday. Definitely if my foot feels ok. Not otherwise. I think if there are a few of us we need to be a bit bolshie and ask people if we can play for them (like when we were young).
