Alright. I'll just bring him down to one of the games we've got left so will I?

I think this Collie lad has already shown himself to be a bit unreliable without him actually having turned up. I'm not saying it's his fault or anything but we really need people we can rely on to be at every single game. What's the story with this Connor lad? Also my mate Eoin will hopefully be down next week. He's a winger. When Lepo missed a couple of games we were only down to Dave and Gav on the wings so a bit of cover there would be good. Also, I think Des said Derek is out next season so getting a new centre mid in is essential really. Also, I assume at this stage that Larry, Mark and possibly Gar won't be down for the new season.

homerjay2005

right, looks like we need 2/3 players in so bigtime if those lads aint playing.

losing 2 center mids in mark and derek is a big blow, thats the one area we cant afford to lose players. looks like Ian is in and hopefully conor, but we defo need one more there. try get that collie lad down anyway, once he joins up, he would commit im sure. the first game is always the hardest.

will i go ahead with that friendly on the 31st?

Mark is actually a centre half. Did anyone ask him that at the start of the year?

you missed preseason martin, we played 7 games . he was CH in a few but when he played in CM, he was excellent, against some really good sides.

I haven't talked to Collie in years bar that game we played against him last year. Gav sees him a bit through Kenny and it's Gav that has been in touch with him, so I'll ask Gav to suss out what the story is and what Collie's ability to commit is. There would be no doubting Collie's committment but if the work stuff makes it difficult to predict availability and prevents him from showing up I can see it being a bit of a problem alright. Best find out what he reckons cos we could definitely do with that kind of player.

That wasn't my point but anyway. Never said he wasn't any good in that position. Anyone talked to Mark and ask him if he's interested in playing next season?

Cheers Jules. He was a quality player alright and if he can be available for the majority of our matches that'd be excellent. Any word on Kenny for next season?

Is the 6th April still the start date for the summer league?

The 7th

We will be Tuesday only for the Summer (plus Friday cup matches)

LeixlipRed

Ah the cup. We should try win it this year. Without playing a match of course. Walkovers ftw

homerjay2005

look how far we have come from that 8-0 defeat to microsoft. probably the best thing that ever happened! we realiased that we didnt have the quality and got in new players, all who have made us a better team. we have played 25 games since then including 8 friendlies and only lost 3.

LeixlipRed

When was that game? Don't remember that! Think I missed a cup game last season. Was it that?

our last game of the summer season last year. we had the bare team, a poor team out really, we were 3-0 down after about 3 minutes. was a bad bad night, but has helped us in the long run.

Yeah, it was a cup game.

Bleedin' horrible night.

FrankGrimes

Jaysus lads, don't mention the war!

Would be interesting to see how we'd do against that crowd now though...

I'd be well on for a friendly between the seasons by the way.

LeixlipRed

Ah, I remember now. I'd just broken my hand so couldn't play.

homerjay2005

well we played iona about 7 weeks later and drew 2-2. that should be an idea of the standard. we defo would run them to a goal or 2 anyway if we played them again.

Geoff broke both his hands during that game.

He could hardly drive to the hospital.

LeixlipRed

Another thing to be mentioned is the luck of the draw when it comes to the teams in a league. In the 3 full seasons I've played now there's been a vast difference in quality. Winter 07/08, the teams at the top were Glenwood standard but the rest of the league was rubbish. Last summer then their were 5 or 6 Glenwood or above standard teams then a few terrible sides. Then this season you have every team bar a couple being fairly decent to good. I reckon our team now would have won the last winter season but not the summer season. It's all just luck of the draw stuff. So fingers crossed

Eleven paid isn't good enough lads, the money has been taken from Jules' Credit Card, so we will have to use some of the subs to pay the interest on that too.

Ed, I'm not putting anyone as Confirmed, until I have seen the hard cash.

That's the way it is, nobody who hasn't paid will play or this team any more.

End of.

have more than 11 paid or is my list correct?

maybe we only will have 14/15 of the current squad back for one reason or another and need to get more players in, hence why theres more money needed in.

I still haven't decided if I'll play for the next season. But I'll leave my money in there until you have enough. Just in case.
