Boards Weekly Soccer Game

cormie

Hi,
I've been trying to get some names on a thread in the Soccer Forum for a weekly boards game. There's a few names so far but I thought I'd post here too since the Soccer Forum is not an open forum for all users to post in.

As I've said in the other forum, this will be a friendly game with no high level of skill. A game for fun and fitness. I'm looking to get a list of names of people who will definitely be there. I don't want to make a list of maybes. So if you don't care if it's raining or snowing, you wont be too lazy, you'll play even if hungover, you wont be watching the big game or seeing your partner etc and want a fun and healthy way to spend your Saturdays, just put your name down.

It looks like Bushy Park (Terenure area, see attached map) is the choice of venue so far and 15:00 every Saturday will be the time and day.

This is open to people of all size/age/shape/gender/nationality/hair colour etc and even if you can't put your name down as a definite and it gets going as a weekly event, turn up at the time alone or with friends and you can join in. The more the merrier:)

Please only put your name down if you will definitely be able to make it as if the first one doesn't work out, it will be very hard to get it going again. I wont be able to make it this Saturday (11-02-2006) but will be able to make it pretty much every other Saturday throughout the year.

I would like for this to be a competitive yet friendly game. That means nobody having conversations and disrupting the game on the pitch, that you will give it your all but it also means that it's for the fun of it too. If somebody makes a mistake, laugh instead of moaning:)

I'll keep this as the main thread for discussion on the game as the Soccer Forum is not open to all members.

So if you're a definite, please stick your name down and hopefully we'll be able to get a game together.

Names so far:
Cormie
Kearnsr
Roddy23
Hippo
Stekelly
Spider_Baby!

Fast_Mover

very proactive work there comie..well done!!
id go but i dont live in dublin, so it kinda not open to all people :v:

Tusky

Would love to play. Used to play alot but have gotten out of the habit in the last fwe years. However, bushy park is a million miles awat from me.

cormie

Where would suit you Tusky?

IDM

How would one get to Bushy Park from the City Centre ? Is there a good bus ?

You can get the 15, 15B, 65, 65B and the 49 to Bushy park from the city center. If you are coming from town, you get off the bus either two or three stops after Terenure village either before you come to the big green area on your left hand side and a Terenure College on the right, or the stop after that.

el rabitos

would the phoenix park not be a more central location and easier to get too? plus i live 2 seconds away from it

Nice one. & Aprproximately how long would it take on the bus ? Thanks in advance.

Edited the above post. Basically it's the first park on the left once you pass Terenure village. You really can't miss it.

Roddy23

Prob take about 20-25mins.

It depends what time and bus. On weekdays it takes about an hour at peak times. Other times with light or no traffic it takes 15 minutes.

Thats what I was thinking.

ferdi

would it be a boots and shinguards affair?

will it be a load of heart-attack candidates stumbling round a field and stopping for fag breaks?

Gary ITR

You can stick my name on that list cormie
Although would the astro in tallaght not de better? only need ten for that and it's a proper setup? ie goals with nets n stuff

el rabitos

would it be a boots and shinguards affair?

definitely, its competitive right? just not the fa cup final, just a laugh

cormie

Ok, looks like there's split views on location, half want Bushy Park and half want Phoenix, either is fine with me, I'd even go from one straight to the other if they were on after eachother;)

Bring boots and shinguards if you have them, playing in jeans and your good runners wont do you any favours:o

I prefer playing in a park to Astro myself, I'm not sure what the other users views are but with Astro we would have to book and pay too:(

Ok, I've created a blog specifically for users to comment with their preferred Venue/Day/Time.

You will then need to go my blog page, here (you may need to log in again) and simply comment only (please keep discussion on this thread:)) with your preferred Venue/Day/Time if you are definitely going to turn up.

Crap now i have to go and buy a pair of boots , Phoneix park would suit me fine, I live on conyingham rd, But Bushy park is easy enough to get to, the busses are pretty good timewise on the saturday,"The 15's are ****e" Do ya think it would be a good idea if everyone who was gonna go Copy and paste the list of names and then add there name onto it? Just a thought,



Kellxor

godtabh

I reckon the Phoneix Park would be the best bet. But both places are cool.

But which ever we pick we need to pick a place to meet up so every one know where we are going.

Kellxor

I got a pair of boots in Lidl for €12:D

If you follow the instructions in post #19 of this thread, it's the best way I can think of to get a proper list of names.

seems so far we have:

Cormie (not this saturday:()
Kearnsr
Roddy23
Hippo
Stekelly
Spider_Baby!
kellxor.1337
Tusky
El rabitos
Onkle51

however all of the above are not agreeing to the same location.

What's the best way to sort this out:o

kellxor.1337

Well i think Pheno, Not just cause i live there, But because the luas stops a few mins away from it, We can all meet by heuston station or sumtin, But were gonna need more ppl this saturday if were gonna have a match, I'd still enjoy a kickabout eitherway, I'll be in the park on saturday anyway, I'm teaching my friend how to Firebreath, Hopefully he'll listen this time and not loose his eyelashes

godtabh

Which ever gets the most votes go there?

Sounds like we have a half time show lined up as well.

If me meet at the Papal Cross the pitches are right beside there.

Any one for a game of 3 and in if the numbers are low?

cormie

Ok Ciaran76 said he'll play in Phoenix too.

Is Papal cross the massive monument? I've seen people playing there before. Would be handier to meet at the pitch rather than Hueston as it's at least a 5 minute walk and we could have a kick about while waiting for latecomers:)

Looks like Phoenix is taking 1st choice anyway.

The Papal cross looks like a cross and white and made of metal I think but I think the Wellington monument is the stone one at the bottom of the park closer to Park Gate street.

Sorry if I am confusing matters here.:o

KdjaCL

Cormie (not this saturday)
Kearnsr
Roddy23
Hippo
Stekelly
Spider_Baby!
kellxor.1337
Tusky
El rabitos
Onkle51

Noone there i would like to hurt, so i shall wait till someone on my ignore list signs up and out come the spiked boots


Also i can get one of 2 floodlit plastic pitches quite close to Liffey Valley for 2 hours most nights, means you can take on 20 peeps.


kdjac

cormie

Ok, I'll have a look for the cross:)

Cormie (not this saturday)
Kearnsr
Roddy23

Spider_Baby!
kellxor.1337
Tusky

Onkle51
Ciaran76

So are we Defo on for 3 o clock saturday in Pheno?

Kellxor

cormie

I think that's the favourable day/time.

Can't wait for next week when I'll be able to go:) Hopefully get some bibs sorted too:)

kellxor.1337

Why cant ya go this saturday if ya dont mind me askin, Ya if this becomes a regular occourance we might even be able to enter the nite owl league, I dunno if there's one in dublin, I know we used to do it in cork, But i'm sure there's sumtin like that up here, Ok, Who's bringin the football,

I state it now, I'm on goal 1st, Whichever team i'm on, then i can show off and make a fool of myself outfield

See www.astro.ie thought the league in Cork was just a pissup for the Dub teams to venture south once a year

Cormie its a community thing fairly cheap but excellent pitches.


kdjac

kellxor.1337

Why would the dub's need an excuse to venture south for a p**s up, Just be glad if dublin played cork in Gaa there wouldnt be any fights, Everyone would just be 2 hammered to do anything,

If were low on numbers close to saturday, Maybe inviting one or 2 more ppl that we know to make up the numbers, 14-16 players would be an ideal number,

AND WHO'LL BRING THE FOOTBALL??????????

Kellxor

Every yea theres a tournament in Cork for the nightowls league, which is bascially just a glorified piss up, with 3 matches between beers.


good fun tho.


kdjac

If pighead is playing then so am I

(I'm sure there a few others who feel the same way)

cormie

Haha:) I don't think Pighead does publicity stunts like this I'm afraid.

So you down K?

The reason I can't play this Saturday is because I've to go to a poker game that's been in preperation for a good while, just completely forgot about it being on this Saturday, I'll definitely be there next Saturday though!

KdjaCL

Going the Zoo on saturday, have to bring the kids back they broken.....cant find receipt tho


kdjac

godtabh

Astro turf in Tallaght is good but any more then 10 ppl would be to much and it looks like we are getting decent numbers.

kdjac

We may need goalposts if you want to keep them busy for a while, while you play football.

OR maybe they could be the ref and linesmen

Gary ITR

Any location suits me anyway.

Astro in tallaght is €65 for an hour and it's 5 a side

Hippo

Already posted on the original thread on the soccer forum, but I can't do Saturday afternoons, so you'll have to take me off that list! If you're still going in the summer I could make it then. Good luck....

Not at the moment, my T&C's still stand

kellxor.1337

Well it's only a tue so i'm sure we'll have a few more ppl turning up, cant wait, aint played a game of footie in ages



Kellxor:v:

Tusky

Cormie, I dont want to sign up unless im 100% cause that would mess you around. I'll find out for sure over the next couple of days. Seems like you have a good thing started here though! Its exactly the kind of thing I would love to get into. My fitness is terrible though.

Hop on the boat buddy, I dont think we'll be seeing a star squad on saturday, I aint been fit in years, It'll take a bit of work before i'd even call myslef mildly fit.

I dont expect the pace to be frantic but I hope we can last a while. Other wise you'll have 11 defenders hanging around the 18 yard line and the ball in the centre circle and no one willing or able to get there!

ROFLMFAO, It'll be like when ya watch 6 yr olds playin football, Every person on the pitch would be running after the ball in every direction, and then your wrecked after 15 mins, Nah it should be a good laugh alright, Great idea in fairness, And again, Who's gonna bring the FOOTBALL?????

Kellxor

I used to have 100's of balls knocking about the place. If I can find a decent one I'll bring it but there is no harm a few people bringing one

BOHS

Im not sure yet so i won't def commit but once im free i would def be up for it and if im free i can bring a ball

cormie

Tusky I'm keeping your name down, you're not to let me down now;)

How many of those who are on the list reckon they could bring a friend or two also?

65 for the Astro is a lot, I'm not the biggest fan of astro compared to grass either:o
