Weekend Training 5-a-side

LoBo

OK I'm going to book this tomorrow for either Sat 19th or Sun 20th depending on preferred day. Either is fine with me. Will be for an hour in the afternoon sometime between 2 and 5 and in the ESB sportsco in ringsend (where we did this pre-season). As long as we get at least 8 from the team I can drag in a couple of mates to fill up numbers. Probably no Des, this is just for fitness and fun.

Who's in? Which day is best?

1. Colm (sat or sun)

kaizersoze1980

im in - either , saturday is best tho.
lets just book this.
des any chance you can send a text asking if people are free for sat around 3pm?
we dont want this to turn into the farce it was last week.

LeixlipRed

I'll sit this out. Knee is ok but dont want to risk flaring it up before Tuesday.

Savman

I've just played 2 games in 2 days, with another one coming up on Saturday, then I'm off on hols on Monday so I can safely say you can rule me out of any leisurely kickabouts

Sorry lads, I'm not going to be in dublin for the next 2 weekends so I'll have to give both 5 aside kickabout and Tournament a miss.

BKtje

I could come along for tournament as well if you need the numbers. It's not the handiest for me to get down to though if it's the pitches i'm thinking about.

LoBo

I've just booked the pitch for 4PM (not 3PM as they were booked out).

We've 8 so far and may make 10 who've texted Des back when he updates after 6. Otherwise i'll grab a couple of extras.

BKtje

if it's from 4-5 i may have to run off before the end but will be there.

Ah, Crappola! I can't make 4PM:(

I told Des by text earlier that I could make 3PM but would have to shoot off at 4 if we were going for longer than an hour.

So, downgrade that to 7 so far.

Anyway, enjoy the kickabout tomorrow lads and I'll see you's Tuesday.

Speaking of Tuesday...it's out in Columbas ain't it? If there are any lifts going from Goatstown/Dundrum area can someone let me know? Thanks.

Eddie.

FrankGrimes

I'll be there but will have 10 players?

Gileadi

Is this on sat or sun, im confuddeled

kaizersoze1980

Its on today

LeixlipRed

How'd this go lads?

kaizersoze1980

Fairly poor to be honest.
Colm brought 2 mates, so we started with 3v4, then chris,colms mate got his nose broken/dislocated by me (accidental ! ) so he left.
We played 3 v 3 for the rest of it I think.

LeixlipRed

Fantastic stuff Hope your man was alright after you broke him up Hopefully people will turn up for this tourney next week

but seriously ,hope he's ok Colm, please apologise again from me. He seemed a bit píssed off at the time when I apologised :eek: :pac:

emc2

It was a bit of a nothing challange to be honest but he caught his nose on Shays shoulder (and there was only going to be one winner).

I pull a muscle in my leg at this as well, so I out for the match this week and the competition at the weekend (gutted).

:eek: typical fecking louth man

ud give vinny jones a run for his money.

FrankGrimes

Bit more of that tomorrow night will do nicely Shay!

I was late to this session cos of working and was pretty disappointed to only find 6 players there, only 5 from our squad (Colm, Michael, Simon, Shay, Owen).

6 players showing up from a squad of 22 or 23 just isn't good enough end of story. Fair play to Colm for organising this and to me it's more than coincidence that most of those that showed up are lads that are not getting regular starts/runs - good to see their hunger but it does ask the question what's going on with the other 16 or 17 (were there really 17 valid excuses?) ?

How many cards yellow/red do I have Ed, how many do you have?!

case closed :cool:

OK lads, as I said at the beginning of the season, I'm washing my hands of anything to do with training sessions. It's not worth my while texting everyone, wasting the money on that, only for six people to turn up.

Yes, the excuses may be genuine, but the effort is not being made.

I do feel it will affect our season, our fitness levels and all of that.

So, if someone wants a list of contacts for everyone, let me know, and I'll foward on the numbers for everyone.

This is like listening to pillar caffrey claim last week that Dublin are a clean team, only to get 3 reds yesterday

LoBo

Shay he went to hospital and they think it's broken alright, he's to go back Thurs where I think they all take turns punching him until it's sorta-fixed. :P

Passed on your apologies anyway I'm sure he knows it wasn't meant!

About weekend 5 a side, I wouldn't expect everyone to be there but I'm sure we can get 10 together at least semi regularly. I'm away this weekend but I'll organise it again the following weekend, I'll make sure we have 10 definites so we can at least play a proper 5 a side.

homerjay2005

just bringing this up again......as we have seen time and time again, weekends just does not work for training. so i think we should give up on this idea because -

* unless its a full match, we wont get numbers for training.
* we have several players who are not from dublin and go home at weekends.
* some people play grass 11 a side at weekends
* some people are working.
* some people just couldn be arsed.
* some people are hungover.
* matches on tv and people going to matches.
* family/girlfriend.
* study.

I could go on and on. we agreed on a thursday night last season to be the night. but we didnt go ahead with it. i would suggest a 5 a side weekly on a thursday night on a short term trial basis.

Time to bring this up again. I'm out of action on this front til June due to exams on holidays but we should try get something going. I'm more for players getting a chance to shine in this sort of kickabout than making changes in tight games. Lot of lads not getting much football this season so would have thought you'd all be chomping at the bit to show your stuff...
