sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Aye, we've only got 7 officially, I haven't had a confirmation from Alex so I don't know if he's playing. To be fair, the pace is going to be slow and the contact non existance. I have to book it this Saturday, so we've got 3 days for anyone else to get in there. Come on Gemmill and Papa Laz, no-ones going to take the piss, I thought the whole point of it was that we were shit and that was what was going to make it a laugh. Oh, and Cath, don't hurt me but I'm going to have to pull out of the meal seeing as it's now a 5pm kick off, I'm at a leaving do at the night time.

manc-mag 1 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I actually find it frightening how bad we are at football! Poor show from Baresi Fairbrass an all. Get it sorted sunshine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main reason I hate 5-a-side. I like a good Titus Bramble punt downfield from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I actually find it frightening how bad we are at football! 156150[/snapback] Speak for yourself tbh. Are you playing head height rules btw? That's the main reason I hate 5-a-side. I like a good Titus Bramble punt downfield from time to time. 156154[/snapback] I've never liked any of the 5-a-side rules and for years me and my mates played football with none of them and it was so much better and didn't require the game to be stopped continually as people argue over how high it was kicked, whether somebody was in the box when they scored or whether the keeper had come out the box etc. We played fouls and handballs as in normal footy and you could kick it as high as you want (thus bringing heading, volleying, chipping and lobbing back into the game) and you could go in the box and the keeper could come out the box as in normal footy meaning people in goal didn't get bored with havign fuck all to do. And the keepers could kick the ball out not have to bowl it out under arm! Basically 11-a-side rules on a 5-a-side ptich, footy as its meant to be played and much more fun! Anyway since you're all desperate and despite the absolute disgrace i will be and a knee injury i mentioned to Ritchie (i'm like an old bloke these days!) i will play.

manc-mag 1 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 The head height rule should be scrapped. Ditto the underarm pass rule for the keeper. Apart from that tho you cant have keepers wandering out of the box cos the mongs tend to be put in goal for a reason to start with. Attackers shouldnt be allowed in the box either cos if you cant score from six yards out you have no business being on the pitch (except maybe as a goalkeeper confined to his penalty box-for which see my earlier comment).

I've always liked scoring goals by actually tricking or going round a keeper in the box or when in goal being able to come out the box and pick passes off or maybe risk going past an attacker (this ws all back in the days when i could play of course!) Anyway we found it a much better game when played as football is suposed to be played, but i'll play whatever rules the majority want!

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 SLP Matt Craig Peasepud Geordieshandy Manc-mag Alex Scottish Mag Papa Laz Isegrim Right, provisionally that's 10. With all the injuries and fitness levels we'll play flexible rules - no head high, no running, no shooting etc... It's a bit of fun at the end of the day. We can split it as follows....Lercals V Exiles, but we've got 6 lercals and only 4 exiles...so I don't mind joining the Exiles as 'guest' player. Unless anyone else wants to. Lercals Matt Peasepud Geordieshandy Alex Papa Laz Exiles Craig Manc-mag Scottish Mag Isegrim SLP Lercals can play in black and white home tops (or all white if you haven't got one or are too kool for skool) and the Exiles can either all decide to play in the same away top (blue?) if we've got one or just turn up in any of NUFCs' away tops that aren't black. It doesn't matter too much to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the piss, I take your legs! As for 5-a-side rules: Bollocks to head height Bollocks to no-one allowed in the box Bollocks to stick keeper Play the proper football rules. BTW Locals v Exiles sounds canny... I'll probably be the keeper! (P.S. I'm absolute shite too! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
