stevegrant Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 Evening all As some of you may or may not know, I run an internet Saints supporters team, who play occasional games against other fans teams during the season. We are playing in a tournament alongside 63 other teams over the course of this coming weekend in Leeds - unfortunately, we've come across a problem; a lack of players due to a combination of factors. If anyone fancies a weekend in Leeds playing football, please get in touch ASAP. There is B&B accommodation available on-site, so you don't need to find a hotel or anything like that. My e-mail address is steve@stevegrant.co.uk Cheers Steve
RonManager Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 I think everyone's going to see their beloved Saints play on Saturday. Apparently the ground's sold out.
St Chalet Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 I hear Anthony Pulis might be looking for a game.
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 I'd love to but after my first training session back after the all clear from the physio i was involved in a spectacular ronaldo esq failure.
Window Cleaner Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 Don't be silly Steve, I hear you can get a game at SMS against some scottish riff raff if you hang about outside the stadium with your boots;
Window Cleaner Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 I hear Anthony Pulis might be looking for a game. Steve's probably not that desperate.
stevegrant Posted 23 July, 2009 Author Posted 23 July, 2009 I'm fat. That's not normally an issue, to be fair
suewhistle Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 As it's not under FA rules I presume butch women with muscular thighs can play?:-))) Bugger, shan't be in the UK until August...
suewhistle Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 as an aside, got an SMS to say our fitness training starts 17 August (from the Monday , 2hours a day for two weeks, aaargh)... But as I'm in the UK I'll miss it, but if you see a centre forward running up and down the steps at SMS before the Millwall game, ... that will be me!
dubai_phil Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 As it's not under FA rules I presume butch women with muscular thighs can play?:-))) Bugger, shan't be in the UK until August... Hmmm You should get over here, you'll fit right in to Rock Bottom
Thedelldays Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 women shouldnt play football IMO i tend to agree with this
Crab Lungs Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 I am one of the gulity parties still unsure of my attendance at Leeds tomorrow. Kinda difficult to get the time off at this very moment... So, I apologise for the uncertaintity with me at the moment, Steve.
suewhistle Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 Why, may I ask? It can't be our lack of skill, seeing the crap I'v seen for Saints, let alone friends' pub teams...
Thedelldays Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 Why, may I ask? It can't be our lack of skill, seeing the crap I'v seen for Saints, let alone friends' pub teams... yes..and pace
suewhistle Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 Hmmm You should get over here, you'll fit right in to Rock Bottom Er, quoi? Please explain... :-)
Window Cleaner Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 yes..and pace Why pace? I bet my daughter could outpace you over any distance from a 100 meters to 10 miles.I go through the wringer every time I go running with her.
scott_saints Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 Check the bargain basement bosmans thread. There may be a few looking for a game.
Scudamore Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 I seem to remember one of the guys who played at the forum match was from Leeds...was it silversaint? He'd probably play in exchange for the DVD of the game...
Give it to Ron Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 women shouldnt play football IMO Exactly because most would show you and DD up. I have 15 year old girls that play in the team I manage that would leave you standing.
OldNick Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 I seem to remember one of the guys who played at the forum match was from Leeds...was it silversaint? He'd probably play in exchange for the DVD of the game... that was a brilliant idea until the last line. Lol
saint_stevo Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 Exactly because most would show you and DD up. I have 15 year old girls that play in the team I manage that would leave you standing. Probably would at this exact moment, not sure if i have mentioned it on ere before but SteveGrant snapped my ACL, which is why i won't be going to WorldNet, which is why this thread even exists, as a fully fit Stevo= 2 men or 11teen women
OldNick Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 Probably would at this exact moment, not sure if i have mentioned it on ere before but SteveGrant snapped my ACL, which is why i won't be going to WorldNet, which is why this thread even exists, as a fully fit Stevo= 2 men or 11teen womenGranty told me that we wouldnt notice the difference between you playing 100% fit and with the snapped achilles
saint_stevo Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 Granty told me that we wouldnt notice the difference between you playing 100% fit and with the snapped achilles Its cruciate ligament actually........... Granty lied to you then!
thefuriousb Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 Isn't this a damning indictment of your ambitions? I mean, coming on here begging for people to turn up with boots?! You should be flashing the cash and making "big name" signings. Pay peanuts, you get monkeys... Start with low expectations, expect to achieve little. ;-)
silversaint Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 I'm playing anyway scud! DVD wasn't part of the contract!
Scudamore Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 I'm playing anyway scud! DVD wasn't part of the contract! Sounds like you need an agent...naive contract negotiations to not sneak that clause in!
Dog Posted 24 July, 2009 Posted 24 July, 2009 How many players are you short? My nephew can play in goal if you want, but he's only 8. PM me if you want me to ring him.
Norm Posted 25 July, 2009 Posted 25 July, 2009 Steve, my brain is telling me that I could play at left half but my body is shouting, "Don't be so bloody stupid, think of your age!" Best of luck.
silversaint Posted 25 July, 2009 Posted 25 July, 2009 Just for any of those interested, Saints Fans Xl won 2 out of their 3 group games and have progressed through to the Cup competition tomorrow. Saints 3-2 Exeter Saints 0-3 Man Utd Saints 6-0 Kiddiminster Harriers
Al de Man Posted 25 July, 2009 Posted 25 July, 2009 Just for any of those interested, Saints Fans Xl won 2 out of their 3 group games and have progressed through to the Cup competition tomorrow. Saints 3-2 Exeter Saints 0-3 Man Utd Saints 6-0 Kiddiminster Harriers Careless. Get knocked out ASAP to maximise drinking.
The9 Posted 25 July, 2009 Posted 25 July, 2009 Sitting here alll sweaty in my Saints kit after our 3x 30 minute matches, I'd just like to point out that due to an hilarious quirk of fixtures and results, we actually knocked Man U out on goals scored despite them wiping the floor with us. Very very funny indeed, as the difference between 1st and 3rd was 1 goal, Man U only beat Kiddie (B) by 2 and us and Exeter stuffed them. Anyway, best bit about getting through to the cup is a lie-in til 10am. Nice to see the pros putting in a performance too
The9 Posted 25 July, 2009 Posted 25 July, 2009 Careless. Get knocked out ASAP to maximise drinking. Despite some people being out til 4am and our first kickoff being 9:20, we were 3-0 up at half time in our first match. Seasoned Worldnet performers! No-one drinks on Sundays after Sat night in Leeds and the drive home, Snday is all about getting up late - Man U may have an 8:30am kick off!!!
FMPR Posted 25 July, 2009 Posted 25 July, 2009 Little birdy told me it was Southampton 0 Portsmouth 1 though...
The9 Posted 25 July, 2009 Posted 25 July, 2009 Little birdy told me it was Southampton 0 Portsmouth 1 though... Veterans teams, yes.
The9 Posted 25 July, 2009 Posted 25 July, 2009 I miss you Ashley. :-( Bit late for that... We've had someone stationed at the airport with a limo for two days now.
saint_stevo Posted 26 July, 2009 Posted 26 July, 2009 It seems they have been knocked out, blaming the ref etc same old
