    Sounds like a laugh.

    I'd be well up for it, depending when it is. If it was summer, I might be able to get up to Dublin.

    But either way, someone bring a bloody camera :)

    If anybody wants to play in the Bob Paisley Cup let me no,its a 5 a side Tournament and open to all not just Liverpool fans.So if you can get a few lads together and fancy a good day playing ball let me know.

    Venue Astro Park Tallaght
    Date 26th April

    It will be a round robin group stage followed by knockout semi-finals and final so Each team will play a minimum of 3 matches.

    im only doing it cos boardeaux are playing in it!ah it should be a laugh as will the united v pool thing. looks like we have enough for 11 a side almost, but i would be happy with 7 a side......11 would take alot of effort, however, if it needs to be done, it can be done.

    I don't think I would be up for an 11 a side. I've been playing 5v5 regularly enough but Im not fit enough for 11v11 and I don't think I own boots/shin guards etc anymore.

    Yes there will be we are working on that at the moment.

    Its shaping up to be a great day,if a few Man You fans were to put a team in it would add spice to it.God forbid the stick if a Man You team won it.

    i play both...i dont find any difference really, in fact, if you play 5 a side correct, ul do more running in it (as in put in the effort for a full hour). you need to be a better player to play 11 a side, fitness is not the issue ere.

    You argue the same thing about 11v11. If you play 11 a side correctly, you will do a hell of a lot of running. Its much easier to play 5v5 at a reasonable level if you aren't completely fit.

    I like your style,sure we could ask for the one Utd won in 99.;)

    Mod as ref. Please. I vote PSI.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,406 Mod ✭✭✭✭lordgoat


    I'd say for an 11 aside match we'd need a good few more, 7 aside with subs would be a nice compromise with the numbers we have at the moment as there will be some people that will have something on when a date is chosen.

    United fan, would be well up for it :)

    I can play for the Liverpool fans if needed :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,639 ✭✭✭Iago


    I'll play if this gets organised. I think 11-a-side would be far better than 5-a-side, but I'm up for either.

    to whom does your alligance lie gary?

    11 a side is defo the best way to go, we have 25 people interested and while date and venue would not suit all, if we got say another 6 or 7, we could go with 11 a side. it would be a far better spectacle :D with a proper game and everybody would get a game, 5/7 a side means some people may not get a game.

    to those who say/think they are not fit enough for 11 a side, thats a load of B***ix lads, not offence :). this is a freindly FFS,nobody is expecting you to run up and down the wing like ronaldo all day, this is a kick around, with a small touch of pride attached. so please, if this goes ahead, which im determined it will, if your willing to play 5 a side, then go the extra step and play if we go 11 a side. seriously, if we get 30-33 interested names, then there is no reason 22 of those cant make a good game.

    A word of warning,I am speaking from experience of organizing loads of things on line from Legends nights in pubs to trips to games and now 5 a side games.Its only thing getting say 30 names for a game of ball but its another thing getting them to turn up,once you put a date and time on it people will start to pull out as real life gets in the way.

    Generally speaking, if a load of people say they'll go, you'll usually only get about half them actually going.

    Thats my point. We should organize it as a 5v5 on astro turf with roll on roll off subs. So if some people dont turn up its not too big a deal.

    5v5 probably makes more sense alright as its probably unlikely there'll be a player for each position - could easily end up with 6 strikers, 5 midfielders and no defenders or something. On 5 a side at least everyone can kinda share attacking and defensive responsibilities a bit ore easily.
