Weekly Football game (CANCELED!!!!!)

Andersonisgod

I saw this on the Cork City board and it seemed to go down well so I thought I'd ask about here. I'm looking to play a bit of football over the Summer, just to get out and about really as fitness usually goes out the window during the Summer.

I'm 21 and I've played a bit of third division and I'm available any night Monday to Friday.

ziedth

Couple of years ago we set up a floodlight league team through the forum. Now, it didn't end well but I always enjoyed the weekly game with those who came from here.

I'm Kind of on a get healthy campaign ATM so I wouldn't be adverse to the idea of trying to set up a weekly game again.

I'm as about as close to third division standard as my 1 year old kid but I do enjoy a game.

That's what the Cork board have done and it seems to have attracted a good amount of interest. If we can get a few people on board then I think that sounds like a great idea.

ziedth

Why not,

If there isn't allot of interest through here I could probably get a few of the lads who always be up for a game and I know a couple in work would probably be interested.

We'll see How this goes first.

That sounds good. If the weather is going to be like this over the Summer it'd be great for a game of football.

kensutz

There's a summer league just kicked off in Kingfisher so we missed the boat with that one. Probably handy just to get a few lads together to play in an astro in town and then see if interest builds to get a team into Carriganore or Kingfisher.

To be honest I don't mind if it's playing in a league or just a kick about once a week during the Summer, I'd just love to be playing a bit of football over the Summer. A few games, see what the interest is like and then taking it from there seems like a good idea though.

ziedth

I'd definitely give it the year of a kick about and see How we are fixed for the summer league next year if there is any interest in it. I'd mainly only be interested in a kick about but you'd never know down the line. I think last time Ken we took on far far to much too soon.

kensutz

Yeah the last time started off well but family politics took over and the whole ethos of the team fell apart.

nkay1985

Yeah I was only thinking about this earlier today. I currently play on a Monday night but would love a second game every week, preferably on a Wednesday or Thursday. Anytime from 6 o'clock onwards, maybe 5 at a push, and I'd be almost guaranteed to make it every week.

Just a handy kickabout an hour a week without getting into floodlit leagues or anything like that, at least in the near future.

Andersonisgod

I play once a week on Friday but that ends pretty soon over the Summer so I'll be left not playing football.

So far the interest is good, with a few more numbers we could decide on a time and place? I'll admit though organising things isn't my best trait, I think Ziedth has organised something like this before though so maybe with a bit of help from him we could get this up and running as soon as we have enough people.

If we have 8-10 people on here interested, we can probably get something going. There'll always be a few odd friends looking for a game if we're short. Hopefully it works out.

Does the team still exist in some form?

Well I saw that a team with a good few people that ended up being with that team won something recently but, in terms of originals, about two I think.

jebus84

i wouldn't mind joining ye lads use to play in kingfisher last year but it fell apart with numbers,im sure i can get one more aswell

I started off with the boards team and am still playing with the team that came out of that. On the current team I think there's only me and one other that started off originally on the boards team. I think we finished 3rd this year and won the shield.

buzzinfly83

I play a bit of football and would be interested in getting involved. Im available most nights.

ziedth

It would have to be 9 mon-wed for me to be guaranteed around every week but i could be there just a little late some weeks if it was 8. So going from above How would Wednesday nights suit?

I guarantee once we get the ball rolling we'd have no problem with numbers.

The way we ran it last time was €5 a game per man and anything left over gets pooled and we bought like balls/bibs and so on down the line with the "pot"

Edit: I changed the title Anderson (if ya don't mind) just so anyone having a quick look at the forum who might be interested would see us.

kensutz

Thursday nights would be out for me for the next 10 weeks with the tag rugby starting. Other than that I should be able to play as long as the dodgy heart allows me to.

ziedth

That's 6 people interested in a day so if we can get get the 10/12/14 people who might be interrated I'll float down to Kingfisher on Friday and see can we get a time that suits us.

Jason Todd

I might be able to make Wednesdays, I'll see what day/time ye confirm and let ye know then.

Andersonisgod

Any time on Wednesday is fine for me, be it 8 or 9, so whatever suits everyone else I have no problem with. Kingfisher has a good Astro pitch and is handy enough to get to.

No problem Ziedth, the title change is grand and hopefully attracts even more interest. Also thanks for taking on organising it.

jebus84

Wednesday is fine with me i might have some bibs we could use not many but enough for one team any way

Perfect, it'll do nicely till we get enough the pot for another set.

PremierDeise

Oh and I'm also in

Whatsisname

I'd be interested, I'm dying to get back into football cause I haven't played for a few years but ye all seem to know eachother so I'd feel awfully outta place haha

cococoady

I'd be interested aswell but depends on what time and night it's on.

I think a couple know each other from the last Boards team. Im in the same boat as you, I know nobody but I'd love to have a game of football every week over the Summer.

buzzinfly83

Looks like there is a nice bit of interest in it. Should be no problem making up the numbers for a decent game of ball.

cococoady

I see lads getting together in De La Salle College pitch, the park and Bohs pitch on the cork rd. Would it be worth getting together somewhere like that if astro or indoor times don't suit?

Ye it's not a bad idea at all, I suppose we'll wait and see how Ziedth does in asking Kingfisher if there's a regular spot available, what time its at and see if that suits everyone.

The only problem with DLS, the park and Bohs is that they aren't booked so if somebody is on those pitches we are stuck for a place but they're a good back up plan.

Ya, I'll chance Kingfisher tomorrow cause we'll surely have 10 at this stage. I'll try it for 9 Wednesday or Tuesday.

I really wouldn't worry, out of those who have posted only 5 would have played before and we wouldn't have all been together in nearly two years. apart from myself Kensutz and Lassykk everyone will have met through the forum to my knowledge.

I'm delighted we're getting this rolling now. If it's a success we could even swap to indoor for the winter.

buzzinfly83

Yeah I see a lot of people playing in de la salle every evening. Great when the weather is like today. Is it going ahead for next week if there's enough. Does everyone play a lot of ball like junior lge level or just casual.

ziedth

Going by last time we were a real mixed bag but if you approach the game in the right spirit it won't matter.

I for example would be quite poor but I wasn't left for dead or anything.

stefan idiot jones

Just as a matter of interest/nosey, will you all be introducing yourselves and playing under your anonymous user names ?

If so, there could be some crunching tackles going in and also all the over reactions and histrionics that occur on the forum, you may need a CMod to referee it.

It's probably safer for him with all the abuse he gets and he'd be used to it.

alphapa

id be up for a game aswel lads trying to get the fitness back after a season off threw injurys!

nkay1985

The thread has gone from strength to strength in 24 hours. Great to see it.

This is really for anyone at any level. If you're willing to come down and have a kickabout for an hour a week, that's all that's required. Perfect for people who are coming back from injuries or whose games have fallen apart and have just struggled to get back to it.

buzzinfly83

Judging by the responses there will be enough there for an 11 a side.

Jason Todd

Just to reiterate what Stefan said, would ye use usernames or actual names?! Usernames would be pretty funny!

tbh I don't mind telling people my username and my real name when I meet them, I'm not expecting people to shout "AndersonisGod" everytime somebody wants to pass me the ball but that's just me, it's everybody's choice.

nkay1985

Ah it'll be real names but not necessarily the corresponding username - not for any privacy reasons or anything but it just might not come up! Same as meeting a new group to play sport with anytime.

Whatsisname

Just outta curiosity, being 18, I'll probably be the youngest or so there if I do go, yeah?

If for some reason you are worried about keeping your anonymity PM me and we'll sort something out k?

Like Nkay said it won't come up. It's the same as just starting a new kick about.

Where does this game get play and is it only for men?

We will find out later if Ziedth has managed to get a regular spot in at Kingfisher. I don't know what everyone else thinks but I'd imagine no, if you want to come down for a game I'm sure you'd be more than welcome.

And there was me thinking u were a fella by ur username lol

I wouldn't have a problem personally if you wanted to play

daaave

should be able to pop down for a game from time to time.
there's plenty of young fellas in my class who'd be available too should we be stuck for numbers which seems unlikely at the mo.
looking forward to catching up with some of the old boardsies (except for kensutz and cococoady!):p
