Freshers' Week kickabout

Time Magazine

So,

After last year's somewhat successful attempt to get a weekly TCD Boards football game going, who'd be up for a game in Freshers' Week? Freshers particularly welcome.

It'd be with an eye to getting it going once a week.

Pugwash

not particularly active on the boards but id love to play.

dan719

Indoor/Astroturf/Full size pitch?

Time Magazine

Good to hear it, Pugwash. Think you could get a couple of lads (e.g. Rory) to come?

Dan, probably astroturf is best but maybe the indoor hall.

low

is ibid actually going to attend?

Boston

Sure bang me down for this.

Thanks, Myth.

Good to hear, Boston.

Pugwash

I'll ask him and darragh and a few others. just so happens a few of us will be in living in the gmb next year so im sure i could twist their collective arms. I know some engineers who'd be up for a game too.

Clearly a mistake, must get an admin to correct that. Speak now Ibid or forever hold your peace.

Sounds like a bit of fun. When you planning to have it? ie. exact date/ times etc

Crash

i'm play, like I play with your mother every night.

...which is, of course, badly.

the flananator

Marshy

Haven't kicked a ball in years... but yeah sounds good

Off Topic: I do not know which would be worse.
1) Crash making sweet, sweet love with my mother
2) Crash making terrible,awkward love with my mother

number 2. Of the above its far more likely. Burn!.

Sometime during Freshers' Week. I intentionally left a date out so we could see when's the best for everyone.

So far we have:

Ibid
Pugwash
Boston
dan719
sd123
Crash
the flananator
Marshy
Nehpets
JC 2K3
ilovemybrick? (played last year)
zaraba? (played last year)
pugwash's friends?

So even if a couple of people pull out, which always happens, we should have at least four-on-four which is good enough for a game.

When do people want it? I imagine the freshers and any society-involved people will be too busy on Monday and Tuesday (busiest days of the week) so maybe Wednesday or Thursday?

Do you strictly have to be a member of boards?

dan719

Teams dome out at random- or how about freshers against the rest?

Of course not.

And we'll sort the teams on the day. We have more than enough guys interested so how about we leave this lie for a while and bump it in a couple of weeks?

ilovemybrick

il come and sweat at you all.
to quote those surprised last year
"jesus you move fast for a big guy"
and
"deceptively skillful"

I was just quoting what you said to find out about time etc.

shay_562

Barring a clash with the Ultimate Frisbee display game I'm in. On which note, Frisbeeface may well be up for it as well...

...if this ends with me being picked last you're getting such a telling off.

In Crete so net access a bit iffy..

I'm up for it - its a way of showing off my new real tan!

Also - anyone up for winter tag rugby? I know that there are a couple of winter leagues around..

Boston

Both mates confirmed.

That post was just a carefully crafted way of telling us all you're in Crete and have a good tan.

Added with your fantastic hair, you've got me feeling mighty jealous.

Boston

Won't the freshers have to be resgistered to use the sports hall? So later in the week it is.

Barry Aldwell

Depending on me not being busy with something else, I may well show up.

Crash

Ian: i'd be well up for a bit of tag. I am an awful, AWFUL player though.

sd123

I used to play full contact, so i'd definitely be up for a bit of tag especially seeing that I'm useless at soccer.

dan719

I still play full contact but tag- well it will be funny anyway.:o

Tag is great craic.. if we got 10 people or so we could have a couple of matches.. or look at joining a winter league..

Crash

anything that'll get me into better shape will do fine - planning on getting into shape / putting on some weight over the year and looking for a j3/j4 team to join next year.

Boston

Next year is your final year?

Crash

as in when rugby season kicks off next year - i.e. teams back training now-ish.

Time Magazine

Right, Freshers' Week is next week so we can talk about in a sligtly more definite context now.

Who'd be up for a game on the astroturf pitches on Thursday afternoon? It would be a 40 minute game.

Also, who is interested in getting this on a weekly basis? If you are, could you post your timetables please? That way we get to see the most desirable slot. Unless things have changed since last year, we can bulk book a slot on the first day of term and only then. So now is a good time to get organising.

I'm attaching an Excel file for people edit their timetables into. Open the file, add your timetable beside your name, save and attach to your post. This way we can keep an easy track of what times people are and are not available at. If it's not precise it doesn't matter, this is just to get an idea of where we're at for a weekly game.

Time Magazine

You're more than welcome to try join us weekly too, Andrew. I know you're off in that real world thing but sure we'll see.

Crash

I'll play thursday. will post timetable tomorrow.

shay_562

May play on Thursday, time dependent - frisbee match also thursday afternoon, plus work from 4. Busy day!

Will post timetable early next week when I've seen if there's another business tutorial I can change into from Thursday evenings (to avoid work clashes. Stupid work)

Time Magazine

Me and Boston as the centre back pairing? Are you fucking mad?!

Although I like my inclusion in central midfield, too. Shows my versatility.
