are we doing it in the way that first 12 to accept are playin ye??

Yeah - thats the fairest way I suppose.

good idea. and i think everyone can bring a euro towards last week or something so its not just comming out of your pocket.

Ah, dont worry about last week, too messy getting a euro off everyone. Just to be aware of it in the future. Tis my own fault really for taking money off people before we know for sure how many have turned up.

We now have 11 confirmed on teamer for Thursday.

ciaran76 · 23-11-2009 6:16pm

12 now

My mate can play again if needs be! I think more then 6 a side is too much though.

I agree! 1 euro isn alot for us to pay when you payed that amount! its only fair!

Tusky · 23-11-2009 8:59pm

Tony just texted me, hes having some problems with teamer but wants to play on Thursday. If Ciarans mate plays as well, we would have 14.

Should I tell Tony that we already have 12 or do yea fancy playing 7v7 ? I think the pitches are technically 7 aside.

kenon · 23-11-2009 9:47pm

A 7v7 is unimaginable on those pitches. I played a terrible 6v6 on them before.

The pitches are 5 a-side but if you rent two, put them together and move the goals they are then 7-a sides.

I think you should consider setting 6v6 to be the max.

Agreed. Unless you are willing to play across 2 pitches 7v7 is too many. 6v6 is perfect in my opinion considering that its a friendly enough game.

Tusky, As for you being short last week, I've no problem paying an extra euro, and its only fair. You are the one going to alot of trouble organising it each week, ordering bibs and the like, its not right that you covered someone who didnt turn up. I'll bring an extra euro on thursday.

What was the deal with the guy who didnt turn up anyway? Just didn't bother? Is he still on the list?

ye i agree too 7v7 would be way too tight and you would have no time on the ball. I'l definitely bring a euro or two for Ben!

ciaran76 · 26-11-2009 12:57pm

I printed off the teamer players list and who accepted.

I can bring this this evening and Ben or whoever can tick off names of who is there etc.

Just make things a little easier for us all.

kenon · 26-11-2009 4:52pm

So....is there 12 or 14 coming along tonight...?

ciaran76 · 26-11-2009 6:24pm

Print out says 12

Thats a great idea, cheers.

Cheers for the offers to sort me out with the extra cash guys. That wasnt what I was after when I mentioned it, but its appreciated!

In regards to the guy who didnt turn up last week, he said he had an emergency, so needs to be given the benefit of the doubt. Everyone gets two chances.

Make sure yea arrive at 9:55 at the latest to sort out cash. The office there closes at 10. If we get all 12 people, it will be 5 euro each.

Oh, and fingers crossed it stays dry!

clap-for-trap · 26-11-2009 8:38pm

one of my friends rang me and asked me to play 9-10.so im playin then but im playin our game too at 10-11.im gonna be takin it real easy and sittin back in the first match so im nt tired for our game! but my only concern is the money, i have it its just that you have to pay before 10 so i suppose as soon as i see someone from this i`ll run round to them and give them my money?? is tht ok!??

No worries. I'll pay for you and you can give it to me after the game. All I ask is that youre not on my team! Gonna be wrecked.

Good game again tonight - no idea how you played two games in a row, I was out on my feet half way through ours!

Tusky · 27-11-2009 1:28am

Great game tonight, really enjoyed it. Again, a pity we didnt have even teams, but I'd take 6v5 over 5v4 any day! The bibs also made a big difference.

Cheers for sorting me out with the few bob also, appreciate it.

Mmmm_Lemony · 27-11-2009 9:11am

Yeah was a very good game. I'd say the post down the far end may need replacing, it got hit with some rockets from the lads in orange last night.

kenon · 27-11-2009 5:32pm

Yeh it was enjoyable. I'm already starting to notice my fitness getting better because of these matches. The hour really flew in.

fredzer · 27-11-2009 5:55pm

great game lads, what was the final score ? pretty even for a 5 v 6 , think the yellows just snook it !!

ye i have to say i can realy feel my fitness coming on aswell! and i could not believe it when ben said there was only 10 minutes left! haha! oh and ken really had some sweet shots!

kenon · 29-11-2009 7:08pm

Long shots were the order of the day.

Tusky · 29-11-2009 7:43pm

Forgot to say guys - I have booked the pitch indefinitely. We can cancel whenever we want, but that slot is ours until we don't want it anymore. Ive also asked them to let me know if an 8pm or 9pm slot became available on a Wednesday or Thursday evening, as I presume that would be preferable ?

Last game before the festivities is the 18th (3 more games), and we start up again on the 8th, if everyone is still up for it after Christmas.

kenon · 29-11-2009 7:48pm

Thats excellent.

I'm available from 6pm on Wednesday and Thursday so any time after that doesn't really matter to me. That might change the end of January due to different hours in college.

clap-for-trap · 29-11-2009 9:12pm

yeanim pretty much in the same boat as ken. i cant play till 6 on wednesdays and 9 on thursdays and it could end up changing after christmas! i amnt sure what way the timetable changes! what college are you going to ken??

MYP82 · 30-11-2009 12:18pm

im the same i play in dcu on thu till 6 but am back by 7. i quite like playing late to be honest, gives me all evening to get stuff done- only thing is im having lot of trouble trying to sleep after it! looking forward to it again this week tho!:)

Fair play, great to have a slot secured, would be good to get a slightly earlier kick off time on the Thursday but we're up an running!!! Wednesday would be out for me, have college that night!!

Mmmm_Lemony · 01-12-2009 12:53pm

I originally accepted for thursday but unfortunately have to drop out for a couple of weeks. Was at the physio this morning for an injury I picked up a few weeks back that was niggling at me, and gotten progressively worse, and he's told me to lay off for a while. Really enjoying the games so far though, and hoping to be back soon!

Kaldorn · 01-12-2009 2:23pm

id like to play on thursdays, is that when you play ill put myself on thelist for the odd wednesday too..can i be put on a cancelation list or something.i can pm my details

clap-for-trap · 01-12-2009 4:34pm

Like gareth said i rather like playing late! it gives me time to get a bit of a rest after college on the thursday and have something to eat and that. i dont get home from college till about half 6 or 7 ya see.

Theres still a couple of places for this Thursdays game. PM me your full name, phone number and email and I'll get you set up.

quank · 01-12-2009 5:58pm

I'd be interested in a game too, however I've got a banjaxed foot so I mightn't be able to play until the new year. Just letting yiz know.

dubdec99 · 02-12-2009 10:46am

What are the general fitness levels like anyway - are most of you under 30? Myself and my mate are available from next week but we're pushing 40.....maybe we'll just do the line!!

kenon · 02-12-2009 1:58pm

The age range is probably 18-30+. Fitness levels vary as well. Some are comfortable at running for the 60mins, some work in bursts etc. Im sure you's would be able to slot in somewhere!

Age and fitness varies, but yea would both be very welcome!

I think at this stage, anyone who joins will have to put on a reserve list as we have 16 players on teamer as it is. Having said that, we only have 10 confirmed thus far for tomorrow night, so theres a good chance there will be room for extras each week.

Tusky · 03-12-2009 2:06pm

We have 11 (10 on teamer, 1 off teamer) so need one more. Anyone know of anyone looking for a game ?

quank · 03-12-2009 5:26pm

Got a question: does everyone wear runners and astro boots? Absolutely hate studs, I always get hurt by them.

kenon · 03-12-2009 5:39pm

Astro boots. I used to wear blades up to recently as I think they are excellent on the coolmine pitches.

Astro boots.

clap-for-trap · 03-12-2009 6:09pm

i wear blades, there doesn be many risky challenges anyway.the chances of you gettin hurt more than something you`ll walk off are slim in my opinion! you would be grand.

Any reply from him Ben?

ciaran76 · 03-12-2009 6:21pm

Yeah just got a text he can play so we should have 12 then.

Tusky · 03-12-2009 6:27pm
