Match v Soccer Forum

Waylander

Whatever happened to this match we were to play? The soccer forum played against the poker forum over the weekend and got well and truly stuffed. I think we should get a game going, forget all the nonsense about training and stuff cause it will never happen if we try to do that. Pick a date and play the match, if we get to meet before it to kick around and familiarise ourselves with each others games, then good enough but if we dont we dont.

Blackbelt this was your baby, where was it left?

Poker forum won something like 10-3, this was against the soccer forum not the Boards.ie team!

homerjay2005

yes, i was playing a key role in negociations on the soccer side, but it was the boardeaux team, not the forum. never did happen, but no reason why it cant. Most of the Boardeaux team dont post on the soccer forum, alot of them actually hate it!

im permanantly banned off the soccer forum for almost a year now, so f*ck em, i will play with the GAA board, if im allowed

can somebody post a thread on the soccer forum??

im in anyway with the GAA team . getting them to play gaa though is going to be hard, boardeaux would be your best bet. which team you want to play? i say play against the soccer forum anyway, theres about 2/3 of the boardeaux team on it i think.

Apaarently there's plans for another Soccer v Poker game on the 22nd of Fed.

How about one before that on say the 8th or 15th? (Cause I'll be home then )

To be fair I would expect Boardeaux to kick our asses, being a legitimate team and knowing each others games etc. We might be able to beat the Soccer forum though, as the poker boys really stuffed them (No harm in rubbing that on e in). We could also arrange games against other fora too afterwards.

Damn right. I might even wear an AFL jersey for a bit of extra spice!

Yeah I can start a thread if you guys pick a date.

BTW, you coming to a few Boardeaux games?

Ah yeah I'll be down to have a look.

I think the problem the last time was getting enough people from the GAA forum to play. Poker and Soccer are busy forums. GAA is a little quieter so I would say wait and see how many people are available before challenging the soccer guys.

If I was in Ireland I would be interested, but I am stuck in cold, rainy Glasgow But I am in Dublin for the two home 6 Nations games, so I could play on either Sunday if there was a game.

Daysha

I wouldn't mind getting involved actually. I go to college in DCU so I'm up in Dublin most days a week. But I'm not back until the 8th February so I won't be able to do anything before then.

I post on both forums pretty regularly but I'd still choose GAA or soccer any day of the week

Yavvy

right now we couldnt put a jigsaw together ..never mind a soccer team

Frisbee

Lads I organised the soccer forum for the match against the Poker Team.
I'm currently organising a rematch. However if you's wanted a game I'm sure I could get a team together.
There's an idea going around of having an inter forum tournament.
Four forums that play off in one day.

Poker
Soccer
GAA
AN Other

Would you's be up for that?

Sherifu

Tournament sounds good. Any pics around from poker v soccer?

Unfortunately I don't think any were taken

Waylander

Frisbee I like the idea but we have not got the numbers of posters that you guys have. Leave it with us and we will see what we can do.

Lads,in the last thread the following expressed at least a firm interest

Blackbelt
Tom The Post
Pride Fighter
Waylander
Alany
Nalced IRL
Gerire
Aidan 24326
Homerjay 2005
holymoly hs
Villains77
Delta Bravo
An Citeog

Only read the first few pages so there were probably more but anyone know if some of the lesser spotted names above would still be interested? Any other forum regulars interested?

homerjay2005

i could get a few gaa heads off the boardeaux team to play. i defo could get 3 lads, if not 4 to play.

An Citeog

I'd be up for this anyway.

Frisbee

I'd hold off on trying to organise anything just yet.
Will be very hard to try and organise two matches at the same time.
I think one of the Poker lads put forward the idea of a tournament so we'll see where he takes it

At the minute we are only trying to establish if putting a team together is feasible. Dont worry we are not getting carried away, I doubt we have enough regular posters in the forum to get a team together.

Yavvy

a lot of you will have read my pre season post so hopefully expectations are realisticly low ... but .. Im in ! lets do it !

now where did those last 2 jigsaw bits go

If it came to it I'm sure someone could wrangle a mate or two into playing..

Waylander

1)Waylander
2)HomerJay2005
3)Deise59
4)Alany
5)An Citeog
6)TomThePost
7)Blackbelt

He is until Waylander is replaced as organiser

blackbelt

I'm up for it.Always was.I tried to organise it last year but couldn't get enough numbers or interest and then I had my finals which put in a spanner in the works.

Soccer and gaelic football...count me in.:D

Lets do it one step at a time for now.
We will worry about getting a one off soccer game in first. Then we can try for more.
I dont think we will get much competition in the GAA, maybe we should play the Aussie rules forum in a compromise game :-)

blackbelt

Right I'm off to get a metal bar inserted in my arm.:)

All comers are welcome Reg, fair play to you!

Yavvy

yeah we are real picky* around here..feck off* to where you came from !
..unless..your not really Ciaran Whelan are you ?




* thank god fresh blood
**Please stay !

blackbelt

I'll play full back.That was my natural position for soccer otherwise I roam up further up the pitch in the dizzying full forward line for the real game.:cool:

Yavvy

Corner Forward... leave me there and dont fuc king pass after the first 10 mins cause im knackered

Don't worry Al,by that time you'll have done the groundwork with 4 or 5 beauties and the defense will be taking a more attacking role to get warmed up.The goalkeeper will be too busy picking the ball out of the back of the net.:)

Reganio 2

Cheers lads. I am not Ciaran Whelan but I have scored against his cousin who is a fine goal keeper

Daysha

If we're talking soccer, I used to play left wing with my local club until I quit a few years ago, so that's probably my most natural position, but I can move into the middle of the park if needs be.

Tomthepost

Up front if possible for me. None of that offside rubbish I hope.

Pride Fighter

Why did I get a load of PM's regarding this? I have not even posted in this thread. If you want me that bad I'll play:cool:, I normally play Centre Mid but I can only play on sundays.

Yavvy

yay spam works... I have been doing the same to Shane Ryan ... no responce yet ..keep your fingers crossed people.... I have penciled in for Mid field ( both positions )

You got PMed because you previously said you would be interested when Blackbelt was organising the Soccer\GAA games against Boardeaux.

If you are not interested that is cool.

No no he's in - its a binding contract. If he doesnt play we will sue his ass

Reganio 2

lol this team is looking good its like a shotgun football team. I can play where ever you need me, although I am not the fittest guy in the world but just call me Darragh O'Se I stand in the middle and hit anyone that walks by me . Nah I can pass the ball and am a lethal finisher so I can do a job CF or CM but can do a job anywhere I am needed.

Waylander

Sadly it is looking like we dont have the numbers or interest to go on with this.

Daysha

Rather than a full 11 vs 11 match, would it make more sense to do 5 a side? We could have 2 teams representing each board playing 2 matches against each other. That way if we end up short on the day we can have some players playing for both teams, assuming the 2 matches aren't playing at the same time.

Just a thought.

blackbelt

What?I just checked the team listing and we have 10.Can't just give up when you are 1 short of a full team in the early going.Anyway,that ace I was talking about,it might come to the table and then we'll be sorted.The only problem then is getting 4 more players.:);)

Reganio 2

We don't even need the subs, we will be playing on smaller soccer pitches we should be fitter .... Ok we need loads of subs actually

We have 10 players now, but that means even if we find one more, we have to play at a time that everyone can make it, and ensure we have no injuries for any match. To be fair, this is just a kick around and we are unlikely to find a time where everyone can make it. I just dont see it as realistic.

Deise your idea is not bad but I think their will be plenty of boards able to get 11 players, and some of them already have, so I am guessing they are unlikely to want a 5 a side format now.

homerjay2005

well as i said, i could get a few ringers in, well, gaa players that play for boardeaux. that qualifies them doenst it? sorta granny rule or something like that.

Yavvy

yep Im all in favour of the granny rule.

I think I might be able to get a long time reader...never posted member of the forum to come out to play to

so if we have

10
Plus my one
Plus Blackeys one
plus Homers two or three
Plus Im still waiting on Shane Ryan to get back to me

That makes a squad of about 23 by my reckoning
may need to trim that down to ..say 14/15 or so

actually a 7's match for both soccer and GAA might be an optioin ??

Xavi6

Would anyone be interested in turning out for the Soccer forum against the Poker lads on Sunday? We've had a few drop outs in the last few days.

The game kicks off at 4pm in Leicester Celtic's grounds which are located near Nutgrove Shopping Centre.

Yavvy

sorry I missed this ... I would have loved to play ..oh well
