What are you laughing at? - I'd start a one-legged hippo up front if he could guarantee a couple of goals

Stick him in goal too.

Ill be there. Flu's more or less gone. Amazing what a day or two off work will do for the health .

Spose I'll bring my gloves in case no other keeper shows up.

I was just wondering where the Boards team train and if your still looking for players ? I could be interested as long as i dont have to travel to far during the week for games or training ?

Thats the attitude!!!

Hey Barlow07 - at the moment all our games are played on Sunday evenings in St.Colmcilles just down the road from the Firhouse exit off the M50. We've about 5 more games left in this league and plans for the Spring season are not finalised, so there'd be no harm coming down to have a look if you're interested. We hope to make the Wednesday 9pm game in DCU a regular training session, but it's 5-a-side so squad members have priority.

Have you played much?

Bootsy Collins

I'll be there on Sun. too, with a complete set of functional limbs to boot!!

That's about 11 or 12 people now.

FrankGrimes

A lad I know plays for Templeroan, just found out off his brother that as part of their training regime they do tai-bo or whatever the f*ck you call it every week. Fair play to them n all but they better be expecting some ridiculin.

I reckon we should line up beforehand and do some sort of mock kung-fu Haka type thing.:)

I know one of them aswell, used to work with him a few years ago. never struck me as a footballer to be honest, from watchin them in bits the last weeks, they look quite physical but I'm expecting us to be able to break the losing streak tomorrow if we put it in.

Savman

ok so we got beat but the scoreline does not really reflect the game. Gave away a silly 1st goal from nothing, pressed for equalizer but got caught for 2nd goal right at the death.

We fookin deserved something from this game, 0-0 at half time and we had a few chances. I was very dissappointed not to get one meself :rolleyes:

We had a couple of big decisions that went against us, couple penalty shouts etc which made it all the more frustrating.

Draupnir

I got a kick on the calf I think, right leg is killing me this morning. We were very unlucky not to pick something up in that game, we had a very solid unit going through the middle.

I think the team is coming together now, I really enjoyed the game last night, so hopefully with a couple more games under our belt we can look at putting together a few more wins in the summer season.

kaizersoze123

We deserved to win that game. In my opinion we were the better team, had more of the ball and won more of the tackles. We need to improve on our first touch, too many times the ball is bouncing off lads instead of taking it into you. That'll improve though with the midweek sessions. I thought the new system worked great.

I have played for a couple of teams but thats going back a 2years now at least. I was playing astro twice a week before christmas, but i haven't gone back since just being busy and that.

I'm definitely interested in meeting up one of the nights just to check it out for myself. I doubt your short of numbers at the moment.

FrankGrimes

That was a much improved performance lads, fair play all round, especially to Des for restructuring the formation – we were far more solid because of it.

I enjoyed that game a lot more and I reckon a draw was a fair result. As one of their players said after the mess that was their first goal, ‘we don’t deserve that lads’. Sav’s right – you can put the 2nd down to us chasing the game. We had them seriously under pressure for the last 10, which is a good sign that we were still fighting at that stage which we haven’t been in recent games. I felt we played like a proper football team, everyone knew their role and got about it well. In midfield we let them play with it around halfway but regularly put a stop to them when they came forward – I felt like we were in control in there. Compare that to getting overrun by a 3-man midfield last week and it’s a big improvement.

As Keith pointed out, we won far more headers, and far more second balls than usual, we had lads in the right places to do it and we were just more up for it too. We’ve given ourselves a much more solid foundation by winning more possession and making their time on the ball a lot more pressured. Eliminate the goals we’ve been gifting too regularly, and more focus in attack, and we’ll be ending this season on an upward curve.

Calling was a big improvement, particularly amongst the defence, with Michael making several calls giving me info that I benefited from. Keep that up lads and we’ll see the pay-off. Still plenty of scope for improvement on calling amongst the attack – we really need lads roaring for the ball – ‘give it to my feet’, ‘send it over the top’, whatever, we just need the lads up there to be more assertive – it makes up the mind of the passer for him a lot quicker and focuses your mind on what you’re gonna make happen. I appreciate the greasy surface makes it difficult, but Shay is right about the first touches – both being fed back to goal and quality balls over the top, the attack had plenty of service, and we should be getting more shots in off that supply. As I said, we need lads to be up on their toes – you get to the ball a lot easier that way than from a flat footed start. We need to start anticipating what’s gonna happen rather than reacting when it does happen, but all in all that’s a seriously harsh scoreline and I’m confident we can push on from here.

Savman

Anyone know what happened to Lepo??

kaizersoze123

Was he meant to be there? I don't see a post on this thread by him
