Dub13

I would like to invite any players from here to enter our 5 a side Tournament,its looking like we will have a couple of teams from boards and seems as you guys are the 'official boards team' it would be nice to have you guys represented.

Here is the info as we have it,I will post back when all detail's are confirmed.

Bob Paisley Cup

Venue Astro Park Tallaght
Date 26th April
Times to be confirmed once we have teams finalised


Irishkop are proud to be supporting our fellow Reds on www.onthekop.com and there initiative to raise funds to build a memorial to honour Bob Paisley in his home town of Hetton-le-Hole.

As a way of raising money we are going to hold a 5 a side tournament called The Bob Paisley Cup and we are looking for your support.

Those looking to enter a team the following applies

*Team to consist of a minimum of 5 players plus subs
*There will be a round robin group stage followed by knockout semi-finals and final. Each team will play a minimum of 3 matches.
*Anyone who wants to take part but cannot put a full team together we still want you to put your name down and we can organise you into teams
*This is not restricted to members you can ask mates to take part we want to raise as much as we can.
*The cost to enter will be €20 per Player
*All monies must be paid in advance. Please PM Pam for payment details
*When applying please send details of the team consisting of names of other players and how many
*If you have no team and you want us to organise you into a team please state clearly that you have no team
*Entry & payments must be in before Friday 11th April that means it has to reach our account on this date.
*General 5 aside rules will apply

Please don't use this thread as discussion on your football skills but if you have a question that needs answering post it up and if we can answer it we will.

We also would like volunteers to help out with whatever they can & if anyone has contacts in any of the astroparks or other astro turf pitches that can get us a good rate would mean more money going to the fund.

So dust off those astro turf runners and get in here

We might not be able to give you a knighthood Bob but we sure as hell are going to give you a memorial that you well deserve.

Lads this is your club and Paisley along with Shanks are the 2 greatest managers we ever had lets put Bob up their in his rightful place as a true legend of Liverpool FC. Any help at all will go a long way to achieving our goal as Ian said in the video its a fan initiative and its only us as fans that can make it work.


Thanks from All the Mods & organisers on Irishkop

Ok I'm not familiar with any Bob Paisley fund so where's the cash going? Also is there any actual prize for the winning team or is it just a case of throwing a few bob into a charity kinda thing?

Dub13

Sorry I should have explained it in more detail.This clip from LFC.TV will explain it all.

We have not finalized the prize structure yet but I will post more when I get the info.

Savman

Maybe I'm ridiculously short sighted, but would the onus not be on LFC to fund something like this rather than the fans? Maybe that's talk for another forum...

Tournament sounds interesting, no doubt it'll be mentioned at the match tonight.

Clubs these days do not like to do things like this as they see it as setting a precedent and they would have to do it for loads of ex managers and players.

The tournament is starting to take shape now with a couple of teams promising to come down from the north.

We put a team into an event last summer in UCD too, I'd say you could count one at least one Boardeaux team.

Also, seeing as I won't be playing, if you need refs or any help with running things on the day, I'd be more than happy to help

Have them pay half in advance.

Easy, then if they don't arrive, you have at least half the money promised

Set up an account, provide the people with Account Number and Sort Code.

Savman

Bah I'll be away. Besides I don't like Tallaght anyway.

People who post about Liverpool on the Soccer forum.

Ed has an unhealthy obsession with them.

He does text me about them and all.

FrankGrimes

I'm on for this, not mad about the cause but a game of ball is a game of ball so sounds good to me

Dub13

Good stuff lads....how many teams do you think you can muster up.

LeixlipRed

I'd imagine we'd be able to get two teams together. Definitely one anyway

You wanna get him started, just mention "FAI" and leave him be for a good half hour

Savman

Oh and Sav....

Phoeni....

...ah no...I won't.

Savman

I was venting!

FrankGrimes

I just want to say that I would hope that this tournament will be organised to the exacting standards demonstrated by the FAI's flawless execution of all tasks they choose to pursue with their customary and world-renowned vigour and professionalism. In fact, I hearby propose a motion to have one John Delaney Esquire be brought onboard to manage this project and be granted the role of Honorary President of Footballing Excellence.

...Now that's sarcasm

If that gives Des a heart-attack it ain't my fault

I'd fancy a full strength Boards 5 with 2 or 3 subs to win this. I've no idea how pretend scousers play football but surely it's not up to the standard we set every week
