Saints Noog Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 You'll be glad to know that I will not be there next week so thats one less 'can't be arsed' person (ignore the fact i've got no fitness and don't c the point of running for someone who can't pass!)

Robsk II Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 I'm not really sure why all this *****ing happens. I can understand why people get frustrated during games if people stop tracking back at all, especially near the end, but why not just have a word on the pitch, or start playing vague offside rules, or something? no effort at all can make things seem a bit stale, but then, people want to come and play on their own terms. TSF Sunday wouldn't exist without that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Noog Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 If I could run back I would, as I do sometimes! Most of the time i've sprinted forwards and haven't got the energy to just turn round and sprint back. You heard from Ben, Rob? How is his leg?

JustMike Posted 13 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 13 July, 2009 its amazing how people always find the energy to run when they have a goal scoring opportunity, different story when its tracking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robsk II Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 Noog, Ben will be fine, I'm seeing him later. It's just a thigh strain, but he's struggling with it a bit. He needs to warm it up more to be honest, and also consider having a sit out for a week or two with no playing at all. The running thing - as it happens, I thought some of those I might normally assume were those less likely to run, actually ran more or sat back for a change. Anyway, it wasn't too bad, there've been much worse. I think the main thing is ensuring that the issue doesn't force players away - to keep going what is a fairly pleasant kickabout, generally played in the right spirit, perhaps we should consider doing things a bit more properly. As a result of some team imbalances, we introduced the 'team choosing' thing, which has been a success. We bought some bibs - again, a common sense solution to a problem. We could think outside the box a bit again, and maybe switch positions. It needn't be too complex, but maybe every time the team keeper changes, a striker goes in - and from goal, to defence, then to midfield, then up front again, in turns. I don't see why we couldn't sort something out, then. I think this is likely to halt any issues about running back, because we'd have (depending on numbers) at least 2/3 defenders all the time who should stay back, roughly - and must get back, anyway - 2/3 midfielders, 1/2 strikers.. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Monkey Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 The game turned when the bibs lost a man. We went a few up, and people lost interest. Perhaps at this point we should have given the trailing side the extra player. The game did go on for a long time after that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 14 July, 2009 Share Posted 14 July, 2009 I don't think the position swapping would really work, quite a lot of the time I like to just sit back and defend. Don't think we really need to change much to keep it enjoyable, we should have moved a player across last Sunday though, once Ben got injured it was all one way traffic and as people got bored it got worse.
