If I can get players, we'll do this.

I've just been in touch with the whole team.

I'm away this weekend but can make a friendly or training session pretty much any time after that.

Whats the story frankg?

i don't know if you got any of my pm's regarding my intervarsity fight with your mate Richie in 2000.

But if you didn't, did you have any luck in seeing if he has a copy of the fight?

Thanks

Would be interested in a game Saturday if you want me...

FrankGrimes

what were the numbers that were available for this one Des?

Reckon we should try get a friendly sorted for mid next week, or next weekend at worst....we're falling into the exact same trap as last time here lads - we don't want to be going into another new season rusty. And how are we going to get new talent into the squad if we don't give them a chance to have a look and show what they can do before the new season?

Would there be numbers between our squad and interested new players for at least a 5-a-side this weekend? Who has the number for that place in Ringsend - they'll probably have availability and in fairness we really should be able to pull 10 bodies together

I'm still not available for anything but Dave has a friendly lined up with his mates. Think he's just waiting on Des

any update on this? im away for another 2 weeks, but should be back in dublin on the 6th in time for the new season. seriously though, we need a friendly, at least one.

worst case scenarion, is hire a pitch for 5 a side for 2 sessions. who ever turns up, plays. simple really.

Ok man if it's that simple, you go ahead and sort it all out. Not having a go at you personally Ed, but nobody seems willing to take the bull by the horns here. Too many chiefs...

I know I remember the discussion over the last few weeks. But until someone books a pitch and sources some opposition, friendlies won't be organised.

Speaking bluntly here for a minute, I'm like most fellas, you tell me to turn up at a given place at a given time and I'll be there, holidays, other commitments or illness aside of course. I don't want any part of arranging matches and booking pitches and the like and it seems to me nobody else does either. I don't think I'm being too unreasonable by saying I just want the football element. In any proper club, you have anywhere between 1 and 5 people who look after this side of things and right now we don't have that. Call it a committee or secretary or whatever the hell it is, some person or persons charged with the responsibility to make the necessary phone calls. Then, when the green light has been given, the players just get a text or some form of notification saying match at x time at x venue. Sick dogs aside, you are expected to do your best to be there.

That's the way it works at any team, I don't see why we should be any different. It's not hard to find 11 fellas looking for a game on a Sunday afternoon or whatever. I'm guessing Des has drawn a line in the sand as to what he is and is not prepared to do for the team, that's perfectly fine.

There is some delegation needed here, that's all I'm saying.

homerjay2005

des does a perfectly good job sav at this, theres no need to panic just yet
im sure once everybody is paid up, the organistation will start again.

the only thing worryin me, is we need to start well this year and we need some form of a get together to do that.

LeixlipRed

I have O2 free texts for live and all that **** so if Des was willing to give me everyones number I'd be willing to chime in on the organisational side of things. Though with college I cant promise I'd be available always. But id have no probs organising kick abouts even if I wasnt going
