Boards Poker Forum Football?

Theresalwaysone

Was there a regular game with members of this forum playing a while ago?

Is it still on? If not, any interest in getting a regular game going? I know some of the players on here are big 5 a side fans.

Any interest?

So far we have:

Me
Bohsman
Roundtower
Trippie
Chopper
Kayroo

I use to organise a game on Sats up until xmas. Then I got involved in lots of other games so i never started it back up........

GL with this - i'll play if the time is right and I know a good few of the other guys will also

cardshark202

Depending on the day, I might be up for another game. But I already play 3 a week so it really depends.

Always available for a 5-a-side.

jbravado

Id be in-day pending.Maybe some of Jeffs crowd would play try and keep fit over the summer.

This guy is just as big a fish at soccer as he is at poker. Don't let him play, he's sooooooo bad and will completely lower the standard of the game :cool:

oh wait, he's actually one of the best players there

Van Dice

I'd play

Theresalwaysone

Ok well, What day is possible for most of ye? I am free all the time as I am a waster.

cooker3

I'd be up for this

RoundTower

I'd probably play

ditpoker

ted, im very confused!!

i'm away on june 3rd for the summer but would play a game between now and then. i'm such a football fish!

in august im actively recruiting players for a regular football team that play in the www.ucfl.ie league.

good place for 5-a-side is www.kilians.com , you can get indoor pitch for 50 a week, proba have to pay for 20 weeks up front, if you get 20 people to put 50 quid up, most weeks you;ll get 10-12 playing. best indoor place in dublin.

The_Chopper

I know Sam, Reggie and I are occupied every Tues and Fri,
I think Wed or wkds would be good as Thur is out for me and I think Mon is out for Reggie also

Theresalwaysone

OK well looks like we have a bit of interest.

What day suits lads?

Who can play Wednesdays?

bohsman

Coolock astro park and Im definitely in. Wednesdays sound good but Im not travelling way out the southside.

cooker3

Wednesday seems fine for me. As long as it's not too out of the way

RoundTower

wednesday sounds good, ucd or st. killians wouild both be good for me

Theresalwaysone

So far for Wed we have:

Me
Bohsman
Roundtower

Anyone else for wednesdays?

Trippie

The_Chopper

As said above i'm free wednesdays

I'd also like it deep in the southside

Not because you like it deep in the southside?

ditpoker

also try st raphaela's school between sandyford and stillorgan. think you can get half pitch for €40. southside is better... and safer!!!!!! :P

u can get full 11 a side astro/grass ucd pitch for 100 yo yo per hour.

i can play any day between now and june 3rd, not this wed, champions league final.

Yeah obv not this wednesday, perhaps I picked a wrong time to organise it.

5 a side is better, no where to hide.

Van Dice

Wednesday's fine. Especially this Wednesday around 8, I need something to do!

NIGS to having Van Dice on my team.

ditpoker

meh... season ended in february after the carling cup final!!

5 a side football in the footballing equivelent to turbo sit and goes... anyone can get lucky andthe gulf in class is barely obvious, if it all.

YULETIRED

i will play in 3 weeks on wednesday

jbravado

Id be in for Wensday(obv nxt wens champo league)-somewhere in Ucd vicinity would be acceptable.Be great if this got going regularly.

Damn I might be up for this, but I do play a 6-a-side league on monday and another regular match on tuesdays and then fridays. If its in a handy southside location and at a good time, theres a decent chance I'll play

I knew the bit about putting up the money up front would put you off

Iago

I'd be up for this, but only if it was on the north side. Too much hassle trying to get southside from work and get home afterwards. DCU or Coolock would be perfect. Sportsco wouldn't be bad for a weekday night but they're always booked out.

Goodluck2me

somewhere on the southside, ill play wed too. UCD preferrably.

I hope you play football better than you do top set.

bohsman

Is there anywhere central people could play? Do St James Gate rent out the astro pitch?

they do, and whilst you are playing the locals rent out your motor car.

The only time Ive played there was a qualifying match for the homeless world cup squad. I didnt make it Trip to Austria would have been nice.

Wisesmurf

Sign me up. dependant on time/day/place


edit. Sorry just saw its Weds. Still in. How about the astro pitches in st benilda's school Kilmacud?

carfax

inski, Northside preferably but Southside or City Centre is good too.....Where do I pay, when does it start, does it matter if you are not particularly good (by any stretch of the imagination) at football?

cardshark202

Well if you could get sportsco that would probably suit most people

Marq

I'll play if the time and location (ie southside) is right - can't do wednesday afternoons though as I already have a game then.

Requiem4adream

i'll play but i might have to throw in a James Morrison special in honour of Trippie. (not a slow ballad!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er1ev18h0EI

just kidding!!!

I'd play anywhere that doesnt have stupid nets hanging from the ceiling...

Jim McDaid (Mr.Plough)
Im pretty sure the nit that is Tommy Gunne will play too if he is around.

Now for a venue. Southside seems handiest.

I dont know many places tbh, so suggest away and I'll look into it. Should be up and running by next Wednesday.

RoundTower

here are some places that have been suggested

Sportsco (very central)
UCD (on lots of bus lines)
St Killians (right by UCD)
St Benildus (on the green line Luas but might be hard to make for some people)

All of those are good for me
