JN9 Posted 24 April, 2013 Posted 24 April, 2013 Is this quite a regular thing? I'll be looking to play some weekend football again next year, and this looks right up my street... Sadly even if there was a open slot I couldn't make this one, but I'd be very interested in the future. I generally play right back or right wing and I'd describe myself as somewhere between poor and average (I'd fit right in by the sounds of things).
stevegrant Posted 24 April, 2013 Author Posted 24 April, 2013 Hoping it'll be more regular next season, playing games against other fans teams.
JN9 Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 Sounds like fun... I'll keep an eye out of this forum for future games and hopefully force my way in...
Lighthouse Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 Hoping it'll be more regular next season, playing games against other fans teams. Looks like we wont have any problems getting the numbers together if we've got 2 teams for this one. We'll just have to get on other clubs message boards a good couple of weeks in advance so they've got long enough to get a team together.

We'll just have to get on other clubs message boards a good couple of weeks in advance so they've got long enough to get a team together. There's a long-standing email list which other team managers are subscribed to, so that side of things is already sorted. This game would have been fine but for the fairly exceptional circumstances with their manager.
stevegrant Posted 25 April, 2013 Author Posted 25 April, 2013 Right, these will be the two squads: HOME GK: Chris Summers DF: Kev Thornton, Adam Moore, Andy Porter, Scott Phillips MF: Chris Knight, Stu Holloway, Ben Coombes, Brad Smirk, Mark Black FW: Steve Grant, Scott Griffin AWAY GK: Andy (Kev's +1) DF: Lee Chamberlain, Mike Florit, Ali Kilford, Simon Goodwin MF: Andy Mintram, Mike Head, Tim Mumford, David Mansell, Mark Rossi, Sam Treadaway FW: "diggs", Stuart Shaw
BARCELONASAINT Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 Mini barcelona has had to pull out. He has a league title decider now on Saturday.
stevegrant Posted 25 April, 2013 Author Posted 25 April, 2013 OK cheers for the heads-up, squad amended
The9 Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 FWIW shirts are v If people want to know which colour shorts and socks they should try and bring if they can. (i.e. black shorts, red socks for home and navy/navy for away). I'm sure Steve won't give a toss if people don't match but I'll be bringing my kit OCDs.
The9 Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 should be good, looking forward to it You're getting pwned, away-boy.
JustMike Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 You're getting pwned, away-boy. hahaha very probably but I will still enjoy watching you run...9 shirts
Lighthouse Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 To whoever plays RM for the away team, I apologise in advance for the drooling mess who will be stood behind you. Unless it's Mike, he can p*ss off.

The9 Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 hahaha very probably but I will still enjoy watching you run...9 shirts You won't see me run. You'll also note I still haven't come back to play for your 7-a-side team at Wide Lane yet from about 4 years ago...
JustMike Posted 25 April, 2013 Posted 25 April, 2013 You won't see me run. You'll also note I still haven't come back to play for your 7-a-side team at Wide Lane yet from about 4 years ago... hahaha! Did think I was being optimistic with the running bit. Don't think you'd recognise any of the players now, only 2 of the originals left. Fairing slightly better it has to be said

Fairing slightly better it has to be said I didn't realise you were still even playing tbh, and I didn't know any of them in the first place. Besides, it wasn't your lot that was the problem, it was the opposition.Took that one game for me to realise I wasn't fit enough and was too injured to be competitive, you just can't make the tiny balance adjustments you need to make when you're seized up and think your knee's going to go any time you change direction. I haven't got any younger or less injured.

Minty Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 To whoever plays RM for the away team, I apologise in advance for the drooling mess who will be stood behind you. Unless it's Mike, he can p*ss off. Probably me at some point...
JustMike Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 so who is going to decide start XI and subs etc for the away team? I nominate Minty
Minty Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 so who is going to decide start XI and subs etc for the away team? I nominate Minty Steve has asked me to, but I'm sure it'll all fall into place nicely.
JustMike Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 Steve has asked me to, but I'm sure it'll all fall into place nicely. do you prefer we call you gaffer or coach?
stevegrant Posted 26 April, 2013 Author Posted 26 April, 2013 Couple of late withdrawals, if anyone else fancies a game, be at Fleming Park (football changing rooms are by the tennis courts) for 10am tomorrow
Smirking_Saint Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 meh, i might still make an appearance You couldnt cope with me soft lad
Lighthouse Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 2-0 to the away team. Ave it! Cheers for the game everyone.
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Good game, I enjoyed it Just couldnt get a grip of that midfield, you had three in there which made it hard and all of them decent players Remind me next time not to have a skinfull the night before aswell
Bwanamakubwa Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 More stats needed for the whole story! Like the9 had more shots than the away team! Good game and a laugh. Cheers lads
Minty Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Enjoyed that... still don't know who exactly half of you were on the pitch, to put faces to 'names', btu enjoyed it nonetheless.
diggs Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Well i was Number 17 on the away side;), was a good laugh
BARCELONASAINT Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 well done lads, very enjoyable morning and good to see a lot of you i haven't seen for a while. Well done away side we defended valiantly ......and had some good fortune along the way.
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Who did I shoot up the arse by the way ? That was going top corner !!!
BARCELONASAINT Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Who did I shoot up the arse by the way ? That was going top corner !!! lol, that was me putting my big arse in the way!
Lighthouse Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Don't know but some of the shooting for the home team was comical.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 lol, that was me putting my big arse in the way! actually i think it was The9's shot i got my arse in the way off late in the second half
Bjorn Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Enjoyed that... still don't know who exactly half of you were on the pitch, to put faces to 'names', btu enjoyed it nonetheless. I was the one that made you cry!
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Don't know but some of the shooting for the home team was comical. I had my head in my hands a few times, perhaps I was right not to have a go with that freekick I did hit the bar TBF... Ok ok play had stopped
Lighthouse Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 The best bit had to be 3 home players all going for the same header and landing in a head on the floor. I was the right sided CB for the away team in case anyone was wondering. The dodgy one in other words.
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 You couldnt have been that dodgy, you managed to keep us out of the net. Special mention to Tim from a member of the home team BTW. It was a good laugh, the three striker pileup a particular highlight, or Baj's (can we say goal ?) effort, would have been nice to put some forum names to faces though
Bwanamakubwa Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Number 8 home team, having switched allegiance before kick off. I liked TT's quote when free on the edge of the box and asking for a pass "make an old man happy"

I'd just gone lunging in on Rabbit and looked up to see Baj tripping over the ball and falling into the net with it stuck between his legs. Unbelievable tekkers! Definitely offside though.

Bwanamakubwa Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Yes mate, bwanamakubwa isn't practical on the football pitch
JustMike Posted 28 April, 2013 Posted 28 April, 2013 (edited) Good game, enjoyed the run out, although am feeling it today! I was RB for the away side aka super sub Edited 28 April, 2013 by JustMike
Andy_Porter Posted 28 April, 2013 Posted 28 April, 2013 Great game, thought both teams played well, away side slightly more lucky. I was right back for the home side.
