Think this was the tournament last year where we were robbed in the semis just before the penos by a goal the opposition scored from winning the ball with such a blatant high foot that we kinda half stopped just taking it for granted the ref was gonna call the foul (can't remember who the foot was up against but I remember making the point to the ref that he was about 6'2" and the foot was at his chin so how could it now be a high challenge)....ah bitterness never dissipates with time.

Pity I'm away at a wedding that weekend cos I'd defo be on for it otherwise - we were about on the same level with the winners and that was only after scraping a team together from our squad.

LeixlipRed

Well I'm definitely up for it. We can talk about it tomorrow.

20 euro each is a bit steep but I suppose it is for charity. Count me in also.

How's it looking lads?
Will ye have a team?

LeixlipRed

Not as this stage no.

homerjay2005

maybe send a group text and see who is interested? i cant make it anyway, wont be back up in time.

LeixlipRed

Haven't had time to set up that group text thing yet. I'm ridiculously busy at the moment. There was no interest last Tuedsday anyway so don't think it'll happen.

Gileadi

kramerica

No, wait... :eek:

Went to consultant today about my wrist. Out for 3 months minimum. ****ing sucks ass. Broke a bone in my wrist joint and if you come back to early supposedly there's a risk of arthritis and lifetime chronic pain :eek:

Well, in the end there were only 8 teams there, and the team i was on (Sporting Hangover) won it. Only had to play 4 games too, since one or two teams went home after losing their first two games. The conditions were, as expected, awful but it was good fun in the end.
