    Think we set a record for the most uncontrolled balls in 60 minutes of football. Enjoyed the game, but the conditions made it difficult.

    I was telling people that next week is the last week before Christmas, but Ive just checked the calender and I'm wrong. Theres 2 games left.

    yep was a bitch to control the ball alright, definitely blaming the conditions:D
    Think the teams were a little imbalanced this week, maybe pick the teams a bit better next time? we got totally slaughtered but still enjoyed the game.

    The pitch didnt help matters at all last night with the slight frost on the top.

    I can see the level of fitness from everyone improving in the few weeks we have been playing so thats all good.

    Yeah, it was definitely unfair. Its hard to pick fair teams though. I literally just handed out the bibs based on where people were standing.

    Conditions were bad, but the culprit was actually the ball which is nearly completely flat now. I think the valve is knackered. It was too soft for the game which is not what you want on a frosty pitch. You's wont be seeing that ball again, its gone to the great game in the sky. :)

    Yeah the teams were unfair but I can't think of a good way to pick teams. Maybe other people have suggestions.

    ye pitch wasnt great but we need to play shorter basic passes when its like that id say (both teams) and be a bit more compact maybe? we shudnt really worry as much about the score - just try keep possesion and play a bit of football.

    the ball picks up speed when theres a bit of frost on it. i was playing 5pm and it wasnt too bad but really noticed big difference by 10pm - it does get pretty cold! the bibs are a real godsend tho, making hell of a difference.

    2 weeks left - thats great! thanks to ben for sorting it! lookin forward to next week

    i dunno if its as simple as just a 'skill rating' - lot of the trouble last night was over ambitious long passes (more like 11 a side - lot of by-passing 'midfield' kind of thing). too much knocking into space and not enough passes going in to feet. (i was a big culprit myself!) id say we can probably work out fairer teams as time goes by. we could have changed it round a bit maybe last night but the losing side did alright. maybe we could sort it on ppls experience level? i think fitness isnt really a concern at this stage i dont think many are knackered at the end of it but i dunno?

    Just a reminder that myself and Tony can't make it next Thursday as we both have a work xmas party. Should be both available for the last night though.

    What do ye reckon about putting a cap on the number of players i.e. 10. I know conditions were difficult but 12 players are too many imo.

    The only problem with 5v5 is that if someone doesnt show up (which has happened every week bar one) you end up playing 5v4, which makes for a crap game.

    At least if you have 6v6 and someone doesnt show up, you can play 6v5 which isnt too bad.

    Guys, theres a wee chance that I may have to pull out of football this Thursday. Ive an essay due on Friday morning, so it all depends if I can get it done.

    Keep an eye on the thread and I'll let yea know tomorrow. If I do have to pull out, came someone else sort out the cash ?

    Maybe Ciaran could drop up to me on his way to Coolmine and get the bibs ?

    I accidentally put it at 10am instead of 10pm. Oops. There were 12 people signed up (including me) but Its looking like I wont make it.

    Tony seems to have problems with teamer so if does someone fancy txting him and asking if he is playing ? He hadnt replied on teamer.

    I played up on the pitches last week. The pitch we were on was frozen and it made it extremely dodgy for anyone with large studs. The people with the astro boots were ok bar one or two slips. Just a word of warning.
