Anyone for football? Thursday at 12pm - Meet at luce hall

Time Magazine

Right it seems my big brother's plans for a casual game of football on Saturday mornings have not transpired so I was wondering if I could get my fix from lads in College.

The aim is to have a casual game of four- or five-a-side football once a week.

It would be good exercise, a bit of fun, a good way to meet people and re-kindle those hopes of getting a trial for Aston Villa. It also finally gives me an excuse to buy an expensive football that I've wanted since I was a kid...

The days are getting brighter and the weather will soon pick up I think the best place to have it would be the Botany Bay courts. We do live in Ireland, so the Luce Hall indoor court could work too.

Don't worry if you're crap at football, so long as you can kick it and run I think it's going to be acceptable given the standard 'round these parts.

I don't think we'd get ten lads from the TCD forum so foreigners are welcome as well. If anyone can drag along a couple of mates the more the merrier. I reckon there'd be more than enough interest to give it a go at least once.

Anyone interested? Europerson? B.ie_curious? Original_psycho? John? Dónal? Daithí? Dec? Ed? Neil? Xebec? Nietszchean? Troglodyte? Barry? Niall? Bartley? Kev? Rónán? Andrew? Any of the other posters?...Right_Side?

G'wan, you could lose the weight...

Why no girls? Worried that we'd show you up? Cos er, you'd be wrong.

i'm just upset i wasnt asked...

Time Magazine

I notice the only responses are from people I unintentionally (it was pretty late) excluded on the list. The thread's been viewed 26 times though, so the rest of them must be too scared to decline. Hmm.

You're more than welcome. You're pretty much the only girl, and you're not on the Who's Who thread, thus I didn't include any girls.

Villa? Seriously Enda, sometimes you just make it too easy

You can't call anyone easy .

You know, its a really nice idea. However, there's no way that I can say yes to it. You see, I'm crap at football. Now, crap may be acceptable here, but I'm talking about a very special kind of crap. The sight of me playing football is reputed to be funnier than 5 hours with Tommy Tiernan while off your head on weed.

No I can't play, but I can always stand at the sidelines to shout randomly, wave a scarf and offer moral support (or something).

Crash

I'm up for a kickabout, once these exams are over.

I'd be up for it as well

Though soccer aint really my thing...

Crash

mine neither - but its been a while since i've had a good game of footie and wouldnt mind the exercise.

wesclark

I'd defo be interested. I lost all 3 games when I played in a charity event last year but the idea of physical exercise is strange and alluring

Andrew 83

If it's on in the morning time I'd def be up for it. I'll be working from 2pm out in DCU though on Saturdays from a week or two's time so starting no later than 11ish if possible.

I'm in the same boat: the sight of me playing association football is just hilarious.

Time Magazine

Mattie, please never call it association football again. Or I will have to hit you, and taunt you for mis-pronouncing 'emeritus' a second time.

Saturday could work, but it might wipe out some of the culchies. I was thinking maybe the evening time, say a Tuesday at 6 or something. I figured better to leave the details like that until after we have a few lads.

Good to hear you're interested too, wesclark. I played that tournament as well and we got hammered. Thanks for the good-wishes from the supporters.

So we have myself, Neil, Iain, wesclark and Andrew. Any of you got any friends that could bring it up to 4 on 4? Would any of the Pubs lads be interested, Andrew? Ronny Mitchell looks relatively in shape, would he give it a go?

Andrew 83

I'd say I could get a couple of people alright. Sorry I read your comment about your brother's saturday plans as meaning you wanted to play on Saturdays! An evening could work well too.

Crash

Ronny and Eoin might be up for it...

Crash

Correct that - Eoin definitely wants to play

Andrew 83

I'd agree that the Botany Bay courts would be the best place to have it too by the way.

King.Penguin

I'm definitely in, as long as it doesn't clash with any of my other co-curriculars and I'm on a different team to Andrew_83. I'm going to go Julio Baptista on his ass.

We should get pet and john to play for comedic effect.

Wednesday at 6/7 suits me, you'll need to check with luce hall people to see if it's free. Not sure how much it is to book, deposit for ball and floodlights. If botany bay proves un-bookable (I notice ladies rugby training in there some evenings) I reckon we go off campus into one of the parks.

Pet

So could you, there's a pothole outside the Nassau St entrance with your name all over it.

That WAS actually a joke; retaliation for the absence of my own name in the list.

We should get pet and john to play for comedic effect.

Hahahahahaha. I don't think you could handle the comedy of me playing football.

Tuesday at 18.00 suits me.. Have a lecture until 6 at wed

Edwardius

I'll probably be playin' twice a week anyway so dunno if the lungs/legs will be able for another session on top of that. Good idea though.

Time Magazine

Eoin and Kev bring us up to seven players, I'm sure we can find one more to make it four-a-side.

I can't do Wednesdays at 6pm, I have a tutorial, as do other Econometricians.

I can do Monday from 5pm, Tuesday from 6pm, Wednesday from 7pm, Thursday from 3pm, Friday from about 5pm (new timetable for HT) and Saturday pretty much anytime.

How does Tuesday at 6 sound? Kev, can you do that? Neil? Wes? Andrew?

Anyone available for a lunch-timeish slot?

Crash

Most of those times suit me, though I do have exams next week so probably not then

Tuesday at 6 suits me fine. As does anytime really, more of a library than a lectures man.

Excellent, perhaps we could form a kind of "I'm ****e at football" brigade. We can get deckchairs, sit down and watch that athletic bunch sweat it out on the field and laugh. It's gotta be worth a try.

Andrew 83

Tuesday at 6 is awkwardish for me. I work till half 5 then I play badminton at 7. I could do it but I find it difficult switching from soccer to badminton as my mind is stilling acting like I was playing soccer when I play badminton.

I play soccer from half 5 to half 6 on Wednesdays elsewhere so that's a non runner at all, likewise I work till half 5 on Mondays so couldnt' make that. Work from 4 on Thursdays. So either that Tuesday slot or, preferably, anytime on Friday would work best for me. Lunchtime would work fine any day really as well.

Barry?

Wahey, I got named.

Any day other than a Tuesday would be good. I could even go studying for these dreaded schols exams afterwards......Saturday would be very good, since it would force me to come in, and the library would be easier to get to than my house.....

I warn you though, I'm ****e at football.

King.Penguin

Friday t 6/7? I can bring one along (dwight_showman)

Rescinded. No tutorials FTW.

I don't think Friday nights is a great idea for obvious reasons. But better than nuffink. Can dwight_showman play other nights, Kev?

King.Penguin

yes i think so. how about an am slot during the week?

Time Magazine

How are the Science-enders for a weekday AM?

Would people rather a morning or evening game? I'd prefer something about 6 o'clock personally.

Where do I check out availability? Luce Hall?

Crash

Weekend AM fine for me (obv.) - evening game would be better IMO.

King.Penguin

saturday at 12 is possible for me.

you need to go to luce hall and book the court/pitch/thing.

Time Magazine

Right, just so ye know I'm going to head down to Luce Hall tomorrow to book us a spot. I'll get what I think is the best time to get as many people to come as possible, which may be as soon as Monday or Tuesday evening, So check back tomorrow about lunch-time.

Have most of your numbers so will send out texts. If you want a text, PM me your number. The cost will probably be less than €2.

that's an expensive text will you email me instead?

Time Magazine

Right, was in Luce Hall and had little success with the behemoth behind the desk, thus the lack of updates. Can't book it after 5pm, latest game available during the week is 4:20 (games last 40 mins). Crash couldn't make it this week, and wasn't half sure of people's availability at that time so didn't book.

So I need ye to state preferences as to when you can play. I have a lecture on Mondays and Fridays at 4 so I can't do then. I have a tutorial at 5 on Tuesdays but that can be avoided if necessary. So 4:20pm on Wednesday or Thursday would suit me down to the ground. Alternatively I could fit in an 11am or 12pm game (depending on day) any day.

So I need you to tell which times you can't make.

Names of People
Me
Neil
Iain
wesclark
Andew
Eoin
Kev
Guiney
Barry
PHB

Wednesday at 4pm (Time 1) - Guiney

Friday at 11am (Time 11) - Andrew

Obviously if 90% of people can make it at one time, and the slot is available, we're going to have to disappoint 10%.

If any of you have any mates that might be interested, get them to post.

PHB

I can do:

Wednesday at 4pm (Time 1)

Tuesday at 11am (Time 6)
Wednesday at 12pm (Time 7)

Thursday 3pm (time 2)
Thursday 4pm (time 3)
Monday 11am (time 4)

I can't make Saturdays, so that's off the cards atm . If a weekday doesn't work out, feel free to try make it work for ye though.

Right, so the big loser list is:

Wednesday at 4pm - Guiney, Iain, Barry, Neil - No
Thursday at 3pm - Andrew, Iain, Neil - Last Resort
Thursday at 4pm - PHB, Andrew, Iain - Last Resort
Monday at 11am - PHB, Andrew, Iain, Barry, Neil - No
Monday at 12pm - PHB, Andrew, Barry, Neil - No
Tuesday at 11am - Kevin, Guiney, Barry, Neil - No
Wednesday at 12pm - Barry, Neil - Preferred
Wednesday at 2pm - Guiney, Iain, Barry, Neil - No
Thursday at 12pm - Barry, Neil - Preferred
Thursday at 1pm - PHB, Iain, Barry - Last Resort
Friday at 11am - Andrew, Barry, Neil - Last Resort

So in terms of desirability:

1. Wednesday @ 12pm
2. Thursday @ 12pm
3. Thursday @ 3pm
4. Thursday @ 4pm
5. Thursday @ 1pm
6. Friday @ 11am

I'll be into Luce Hall at 8am tomorrow with this list to get the best available. Will then post probably before lunch and send out texts.

Ibid.. if you want coffee on the way,

I just got some really good sumatra stuff in..

I'll probably be up by then
