I'd be willing to bet BHW could do a job in there Ricky.

BHW

I can play in the middle, u gettin a ref? i think it b worth it, only a 5er a head if someone could organise it. i lookin orward to it, havnt played in ages.

ditpoker

whats the cost of the pitch so far ricky? i.e for the 2 hours. i think it was something like 180 last time out, so each team was 90. with a ref at €50 c ost per team becomes 115.

do we want to sort a ref internally? i.e one of each team ref's a half, or what?

Jeff is so annoying. I will kick him just so he knows he has been in a game even tough im on his team.

Not too worry Ricky, I play midfield on my own if I have to. Battle on.

TBH I'd rather have Steve then either of you two pansies. Both Fran and Donal will be missed

We're going to destroy you

Pitch is 180 - I think the guys would prefer a ref if you know one?

ditpoker

i'll make a call about a ref tomorrow. usually 40-50 euro. Last time out we had one of our injured players ref and he was fine (in my opinion - if anything he'll lean towards the poker lads). can probably get him to do it for 20 or nothing depending on how many we have out. if one of our lads isnt available i'll sort a ref.

also, 3 3rds or 2 halves?

If you can get a ref we'll play offsides, if you can't we won't.

Let's play thirds again, it makes it easier to rotate players.

sorry lads i cant play i forgot all about the team event this sunday in molloys, jps game, i think brian is still playing anyway. good luck

The_Chopper

I've gotten 2 replacements, 1 for Fran and 1 for Donal as I feel our midfield is light.

We'll be playing a 4-5-1 formation. My thoughts behind that is that are very strong in there and don't give much away and I don't want to be overrun.

Attacking:
When we have the ball I want to build down the flanks with both our full backs supporting the wingers. We'll try work an overlap and get the crosses in where we'll try get 2 midfielders in the box to support the striker. Also I want to see plenty of shots, try and get them away early as you will be closed down quickly.

Defending:
We'll tuck the wingers in and try and force them wide. I want to make it hard for them to play through the centre - and we've a 2 excellent full backs and a big defence. So scoring in the air will be hard for them. When they have the ball around the middle of the field let them have it. They'll be trying to draw us out and I don't want them to pass it through us - so keep the positions and shape. We've played together long enough now to know the strengths and weaknesses of each other - so play to that.

how much you're going to lose by!?!?!?!?!? hmmmM!?!?!:pac::pac::pac:

shoutman

I'm a definite for sunday, I don't mind playing for either side, just want a run out, that might change depending on my rugby match today, but either way i'll definitely be there

The_Chopper

Cost for tomorrow will be about 10 each (90, pitch + 25, ref + 25 ball).

See everyone at 3:30 at the same pitch (leicster celtic)

We're wearing red, so please can everyone bring a red top.

50/50 for tomorrow, went over on my ankle slightly there in a training session. Will let someone know before 12 tomorrow.

Also, does anyone have a decent pair of size 9/10 astros? I dont really wanna wear my running shoes cos it could be pretty slippy.
