    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.

    yep, am fully aware of that, we will wait and see how things pan out....will leave the thread run for another few days, well, until after the match anyway!

    I'd love to line out for Utd if this goes ahead.

    I actually think 7 v 7 is ideal.
    Some astro pitches rent out half pitches which could cater for this number of players perfectly.

    An 11 a side with a bunch of relative strangers playing together would be a piss-poor, boring mess I'd say:D

    But, obviously if say each team has 15 confirmed when a date is set etc. it would have to be standard game with full pitch.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,741 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    why cant one pool fan and one utd fan who are dead certs to commit to this try and organise a squad of about 15 each and try and agree a date that suits as many people as possible?

    sounds like a plan, me and nunu for example could look after the united side of things or who ever else is interested. any potential volunteers for liverpool?

    also an idea, each team can have 1 "special" member, i.e. - a regular poster but not a pool/fan for example kdjacl or des (though des is ref).....im sure there would be loads more, would add a bit of spice, though its only a suggestion.

    i'll look after the liverpool end of things if you would like.

    just call me Rafa ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Well at least we can guarantee quite an animated touchline then. And long winded half time team talk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,228 ✭✭✭Chardee MacDennis


    bah why cant we see who has signed up on the poll!?! anyway we should get it rolling soon or people will start dropping out...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    I reckon those who are going to be playing should pm their respective team managers once it is sorted, pming is a bit more substantial than clicking a button on a poll and should represent more of an undertaking/commitment. Date will be the first thing to sort either ways, thi is just to get an idea of numbers before some proper organisation goes on.

    Then you should pick an area of the city as soon as possible as some people are lazy and will not travel far.

    although the location will be affected by whether it is 5/7/11 a-side! it's a vicious circle!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Well I have nothing to do with this grand occasion, is homer's baby.

    So you are no going to fly in for this to help the lads out...:(, you are not dedicated to the boards Liverpool cult.;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    I will gladly pick anybody up from Brum and bring em to the game if it is in Wigan but other than that will be a bit tough, potentailly starting a new conract soon, any time off will be costly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 732 ✭✭✭kaizersoze1980


    I'll play for a United side if this goes ahead

    I am only pulling your leg mate...:)

    Well would love to play TBH, have been playing over here at a reasonable level for a couple of seasons and play 4 times a week. Oh well, not to worry, am sure we will stuff them anyway without needing me ;)


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 21,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dub13


    There may be a Man You team entering our 5 a side,if they win a Liverpool fans 5 a side we will never hear the end of the abuse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    ya, we there is no immediate rush with this,these things take time and need planning. everybodies opinion is needed and if this is to be a success, we need to allow everybody to play. i am currently 6000 miles away anyway with work, so i wont be available to play for at least 2 weeks. but this would never be sorted in 2 weeks.

    i will look after the united side of things along with nunu and who ever else wants to get involved, alan has already said he will organise his side and im sure there will be 2 or 3 others willing to help him out.

    so, confirmed for united so far, me, nunu, shay and gary. thats already a good start!!

    once tomorrow is out of the way, we can look at dates and take this to the respective threads and IMs/texts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    Right so...if the players wanting to represent Liverpool wanna drop me a PM and we can try and get more accurate numbers.
    cheers

    It may be a good idea to sort a date out first so lads can work out if they are free and then commit or not.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan

    I think a video of the event for Soccer board consumption would be good. With bad commentary being a bonus. :D

    No, now let there be none of that talk!!

    It'll be enough of a shambles without being able to relive it!

    Maybe a forfeit of some kind, the losing team and supporters on the day can't post in the soccer forum the day after the game or something similar.
