What is your soccer day dream?

AARRRGH · 22-08-2008 7:21pm #1

We all day dream about being a soccer star.

This is mine:

For the record, I know this is ridiculous.

I am 7' 0 tall and the size of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was Mr. Olympia, i.e. ****ing huge.

I have made some kind of deal with aliens or god or satan or something so I can do anything I want with a football.

So at age 18 I go play for trials at Shamrock Rovers and do cazy **** like the Zidane spin combined with ridiculous flicks and outrageous goals like chips from midfield, etc.

I then go play in the UK as a midfielder. If I don't like a player I make sure he scores loads of OGs by me kicking the ball off him and it bounces into the net.

One of my moves is kicking the ball down the pitch really fast, only for it to bounce backwards. So the forward running onto it, it rolls back perfectly towards him.

I also do a lot of shots which bounce off the bar, etc.

Basically I do loads of insanely skillful stuff on the pitch.

I end up making loads of money (especially since I invested in Irish property in the mid nineties and made about a billion) and go buy Cork City and turn it into a really strong team by attracting players due to my name, my money, and the idea of building a club.

I build Cork City a 60 thousand seater stadium, and invest a few million in every other Irish club to help improve them.

The Irish league becomes a world beater.

That's my recurring day dream.

What's yours?

I actually had a dream the other night, it seemed so real it was great.

I dreamt me,gerrard,barry and crouch (weirdly) were in anfield waiting behind a curtain to show the new kit for the year, me and barry being unveiled as the new summer signings

i was so depressed when i woke up

i was asking friends, i wonder wat age you stop having silly dreams like that?

Well it's not 27 anyway. I'll let you know next year if it's 28..

Had a great one about playing against Barca last week. Messi was destroying us and i had to move from MF to LB to put the dampers on him.
Popped up with a winner from a corner as well. Oh how we laughed afterwards...

Shels go up to the Premier, and win it the next season.

It's weird because I definitely prioritize club football over international, but it's always been a winning goal in a WC final... then you run over and celebrate with the fans and a billion people are treated to the sight of a load of fat, scary, p^ssed Dublin blokes erratically waving a banner with Shamrock Rovers - Pride of Dublin on it.

That a new rule is introduced into world soccer that every team e.g. Galway United, Man Utd, Celtic etc. have to include one Joe Soap in their starting line up.

It's kinda mixed with Reality TV where said Joe Soap is randomly picked from the street (this is also broadcast before the game starts) on a Friday afternoon in town centres across the world.

I get picked and score a goal and play so well that I end up getting a contract with the club.

I'm too tired to look it up now but I'm certain I read in a football mag recently that years ago Harry Redknapp responded to a abusive fan (who was shouting abuse about he could do better) at a friendly by asking him to kit up and come on...and he actually scored..:)

Probably apocryphal...maybe somebody else read it?

EDIT: found it.

When I become a billionaire I intend to build 6 top class stadiums in each of Dublins major cities and lead a popular revolt against the FAI.
Also I intend to own Manchester United at some point.

What about scoreing the winner in Boardeaux's last league match to hand us the title that's avoided us for two and a half years?

PHB · 23-08-2008 12:33pm

What about when I'm rich, I'll sign a top class player for Boardeaux

Mr Alan · 23-08-2008 12:38pm
