we have a 7-a-side on a sunday at 9 on the astro beside tesco at the headford road roundabout, we've lost a couple of players to emigration. Its a mixed standard: some lads train with mervue... while some are works buddies and some are just unfit guys who play between drinkin! its €5 or €6 a game, PM if interested,
thanks,
Cillian

FrankWalter · 08-03-2011 7:38am

No problem. We just need to get the fitness up a bit...

You were playing soccer right, not doing something else?

Most of the people there will probably say I wasn't playing soccer, but in my mind I was.

dinneenp · 21-03-2011 12:38pm

Spaces available for this Tuesday, 22th March 8:15pm, Mervue cages.
5/6 aside, €5 per person.
PM me if you want to play.

@Mod: can you change the title of this thread? it should something like 'Want to play football' or similar. Someone browsing thread titles mighn't know that this thread is for people who want to play.

willyastop · 22-03-2011 9:14pm

Myself & few of the lads are looking for teams of 5 to take on in drom soccer park/corrib village cages or anywhere that suits them in a decent level 5 on 5 game.whether it be for the craic or for money is fine with me.the format we usually play is first to 3 sets(each set is first to 5 goals) to keep the scoreboard manageable & keep it competitive.was hoping to get as much match practice behind ourselves for salthill fives & derek crowe sixes in the summer so please get back to me guys.mondays/tuesday/wednesday nights preferably after 7pm.

Diabhal Beag · 22-03-2011 9:23pm

There's a thread for this already.

BTW is anybody from out west interested in having 5 a sides in Drom?

Sniipe · 23-03-2011 1:20pm

So dinneenp's 5 a side is over. Any one else have a 5 a side that needs more people?

Malice · 23-03-2011 2:03pm

By my reckoning between this thread and the other one there are the following fourteen potential players from Boards alone:
keltoms05
civis_liberalis
HandsomePete
markesmith
Im_No_Superman
Shooter_galway
DonkeyPunch
Suza
Average-Ro
OldAtHeart
conor mc namara
FrankWalter
Sniipe
Rony76

It might be worth seeing if the Mervue slot can be kept going. Someone will of course have to take over the fun of the organisation.

Does not compute...

Just curious, does the organiser have to pay himself if there isn't enough to play or whats the story?

Shooter_galway · 23-03-2011 2:18pm

Definitely up for that, but begs not doin the organising! ha!! with work i am not back in galway untill around 730 so 8 kick off would be good. Pitch in oranmore is good pitch if anyone knows someone who would have the number

Sniipe · 23-03-2011 2:25pm

Well I think dinneenp's slot may be up for grabs still... Tuesday @ 8.15.

Just speaking from the experience of organising games in the past. Between e-mails and texts it gets quite time-consuming and people tend to get ratty if you tell them "Sorry, we've already got 10 tonight". Although that might have just been the way with my cranky mates

.

I've been playing in Mervue and Drom on and off for years and we've never had to pay any time we had to cancel. Now, I'm sure if you cancelled four weeks in a row or something they might give your slot to someone else but otherwise I think they understand that shit happens.

Rony76 · 23-03-2011 2:57pm

Hi Lads

Just moved to Galway area and looking for a social kickabout. Wandered if you still played and if spaces are available or if you know of any other groups where a person can pitch up and play.

civis_liberalis · 24-03-2011 7:25am

Me too. Haven't played since last year.

Might only stand in goals for the most of it (if i'm let), but I wouldn't mind a run anyway.

ianburke · 24-03-2011 6:04pm

a few of the lads were hoping to play a game next week and are looking for a team to play. we have 5 so if you are up for a game give us a shout. we are from the galway city area so drom or corrib village suits fine.

Same for me. Will be able to play in a few weeks time (mid to late April)
hoping to join an easygoing but semi-competitive 5,6 or 7 a side to help get fit and to train for stepping up to 11 a side in the summer.

I took that he meant does the person who's collecting the money have to make the shortfall himself if people don't show, as opposed to cancelling.

I've often played games where 2/3 went without paying, I'm not sure did the organiser make it up himself or go in and say ''look I was left short this is all I have'' I know from the Drom anyway of this happening once or twice and they didn't say much tbh.

If ye play a night I'm free I'd come along.

I'll see will the lads play, we play in a 5's league up the Drom on Sundays so we already have the team organised

Fair point. When I organised games before we'd usually cover someone if they didn't pay or forgot money or whatever with the understanding that the person would settle up the following week. It was awkward for a while when Drom upped their price from €50 to €60 for the hour. It meant that you couldn't just bring a fiver, it had to be a fiver plus change.

Sniipe · 25-03-2011 1:51pm

We are taking the pitch over from dinneenp in Mervue which is Tuesday @ 8.15pm. Getting a core team together first then we'll look to make the shortfall up with people from boards. Should know soon how many we need.

that time slot is good for me, played my first game in about a year there last Tuesday and still have aches and pains from it, i am doing some jogging but 5 a side really ups the fitness especially coz there are hardly any stoppages, i was thinking after the game, ya it'll take me a few games to get up to speed but then Pa said he wasn't covering the time slot anymore as he is entering a league so glad to see someone has taken it over, count me in if you are short

Shooter_galway · 30-03-2011 10:23am

Hi folks, just been onto a guy in oranmore about availability and want to know whos in before i go ahead???? can u let me know asap, will try to get a slot around 8/9pm

Wed 8-9 would suit me best.

Rony76 · 30-03-2011 2:52pm

Tuesdays and Thursdays are out for me at the moment. 8/9 any other night is good. Don't mind how many a side and I am out of shape so it's all about the exercise for me. Are there pitches for hire in oranmore?

dinneenp · 30-03-2011 3:02pm

you could also try Corinthians, they have a nice pitch. We used to play on half of it, nice size for 5/6 a side.

30-03-2011 4:52pm

Very short notice but might be a few short for 6 up the Drom..... We have 3 confirmed so far, but another potential 7/8 who have yet to reply.

I only got word from the organiser 20mins ago, so I was left short to make up the rest of the numbers.

Rony76 · 30-03-2011 5:36pm

Just saw this - too short notice at this stage sadly

Hope you have a good one

By the way where is the drum

Drom is here.

gandroid · 31-03-2011 2:01pm

I would be interested in a game. I am not looking for anything at too serious or high intensity right now as I'm just getting back to some fitness after knee surgery.

I also live near enough Drom so could take up an offer of a game on short notice if anyone is stuck for players. PM me if you like.

Shooter_galway · 31-03-2011 7:44pm

wed night at 8 in oranmore, whos interested?

Ill PM you my number anyways if ya wanna ring us when you get up. Its the last pitch on the left when you turn right down the pathway and then go down to the back.

gandroid · 07-04-2011 5:32pm

Would be interested in a game at Drom. PM me if you have any free slots for a regular game. Thanks.

If you're talking about the Drom pitches it's €60 for the hour so it works out as €6 each if you've got 10 players.

Sniipe · 12-04-2011 2:08pm

We are short a few players for tonight. Playing in Mervue cages at 8.15. Anyone interested please PM me.

For anyone thinking of playing don't forget the Champions League is on tonight.

civis_liberalis · 13-04-2011 12:19am

Looking for a game in Mervue or somewhere accessible i.e. not Drom (unless you can give a lift

) tomorrow or Thurs.

Will likely run out of steam after half a minute and want to stand in goals, but if that's what you're looking for, I'm the man for the job.

Funkygreendogs · 13-04-2011 3:30pm

hey lads, playing tonite at 6pm up the drom again, I lost my contacts though, as my phone broke so I cant text anyone back.
Its a €5 each anyways, and its on this time every week

Malice · 13-04-2011 4:53pm

We're looking for 1 player for Drom tonight at 9. PM me if interested.
