I've changed my mind about the starting XI lads and I'll see how we are tomorrow and make the final calls. Drop outs etc have left us a bit short so I'll make the call when I see what we have.

We should be ok but if you can bring a CB that might make life easier.

Hey lads, looks like Im taking over for Keith managing this as he has asked me too. He has to collect the Rooney's from the airport.

I am probably not playing myself.

Same as usual though, money before the game and the team will be picked around who has been playing regularly.

Daragh bring along those players Im sure Ill get them on somewhere it looks like numbers could be tight. Cheers.

Sorry lads have to withdraw thought family dinner was next weekend :rolleyes:

Theresalwaysone · 18-04-2009 9:40pm

Balls.

Theresalwaysone · 18-04-2009 9:58pm

May as well stick up the team:

Breifne

Roundtower

Jay

Dave(HJ's mate)

Gordo

Frandawwwwg

Donal

Paudie

Kweveen

Ricky

Daragh

Subs: Me
Reganio
Mr.Derek

Like I said, Im being loyal to the heads that were here from the start, I dont expect to play myself given my knee injury but if I feel up to it I might. Reganio and Mr.Derek will get 45 mins each hopefully, although gameflow dependent but definitely 30mins.

No cash before= no game.
10er a man.
Be there at half 12 for a warm-up and to introduce the new faces etc.

Good luck see you all tomorrow.

mrDerek · 18-04-2009 10:05pm

ehhh i dont mind being sub but i really dont want to pay 10 euro for just 30 mins of play.45 is grand tho.

It is highly likely you will get 45 mins but I just can't guarantee it. It is the same as all the last games and I have to be loyal to the regulars while also wanting to win the game.

If this doesnt suit I am sorry but thats the way it is and has been.

Note: I do not have a decent ball, can Ricky/Daragh or someone bring a ball please?

The_Chopper · 18-04-2009 11:42pm

I have a friend who came a couple of times inc. the last time that will be down again (Fintan).
He doesn't mind which side he plays for as he just wants at least a half on one side. He's an excellent defender and can also play as a mid if needed.
Whichever team wants him let me know so I can tell him.

Kevin will only be there for the 1st half of the match. He has to go away for 2pm.

Reganio 2 · 18-04-2009 11:44pm

Cheers gaffer 45 mins is grand anyway. I play ball reguraly (Spelt well well wrong btw

) so should be good for however long you need me for anyway. Looking forward to it as well. Should be a good laugh, oh and I agree with the regular posters getting 1st preferance btw only way to do things.

I may be able to get a lift out but all things failing, whats the best way to get out their from Artane/Coolock area does anyone know? Cheers

Neither team needs him Ricky. We are ok with Daragh bringing Dave and Olly.
Cheers anyway.

Reganio 2 · 19-04-2009 12:29am

Lift is sorted so I will be there alright

Reganio 2 · 19-04-2009 1:00am

I shall still be there though half of them are done

The_Chopper · 19-04-2009 1:37am

Yeah sorry lads, I just came on to day anyone on our team wear red but I see Lloyd got their before me.

Hectorjelly · 19-04-2009 3:37pm

Good game lads. We started very poorly and paid the price for a bad 1st third performance. It was encouraging that we got back into it from 6:0 down. If we had started like we ended we would of won easily. It ended up being enjoyable.

MOM was Lloyd I think, made a few wonderful saves.

Jayminator · 19-04-2009 4:05pm

Lads apologies for missing this. I was let down on a baby sitter.

5starpool · 19-04-2009 4:21pm

Poker lost? oh noes....

Theresalwaysone · 19-04-2009 4:39pm

Enjoyable game even if I did switch from CB to Ref to CM.

My man of the match was Daragh for sure and by a country mile.

mrDerek · 19-04-2009 4:48pm

sorry couldnt make it.had problems with the missus last night which resulted in me gettin to bed at 5am.maybe if theres another game soon

Trippie · 19-04-2009 7:38pm

good game lads, we showed some decent spirit to fight back, whether or not we should of been so far behind is debatable though and after the little spat we lost the heads and fell to pieces for the first while and it was only when we started playing together that we got back into it.

Breifne was a little unlucky to let in some of them but knows himself could of done a little better as well. the defense was slightly shambolic near the end but because of the way we played with the midfield pushing up to win the long balls it left us very exposed and with a lack of communication and mobility on my behalf we struggled to deal with jeff and his galloping runs. In the end we were just pushing him wide in the hope that he'd outrun the rest of his team which he did but we really did fail to contain him. We didn't have that problem in the first third with Lloyd and the other guy up front so to let in the goals we did then was disappointing.

just an aside but the whole point of these football matches was for the craic. this one was organised with beers and food etc in mind and while i know that fell through we need to lighten up as its a game for fun so no need for the theatrics in future

RoundTower · 19-04-2009 7:46pm

good game all round, it would have been amazing to come back from 6-0 down and it certainly didn't seem out of our grasp. When you consider that they got one goal from a rebound off the wire and one from several yards offside (think we had a dodgy one as well) it really could have gone either way.

MOM for me was Dave the centre half, he dealt extremely well with balls coming in from every direction, even if nobody could totally contain Jeff. After about 65 minutes I could hardly move so he was doing my job as well as his own.

I guess those who weren't there should know that it ended up being a Grosvenor Lane/soccer forum select, we didn't actually lose to the crowd who turned up the first time the soccer forum played

I was hoping someone else would say something, but this really isn't on. We ended up being short players and having to start late, and then playing most of the game with no subs. And this is after turning away people who definitely would of shown up. At least Jay's excuse is somewhat understandable. If I was in charge I wouldn't let either of you play again.
