Sure Shane didn't score.

Who scored the first?

I'll email Kevin, Gerry filled in the scorers before I got the card.

It was Martin wasn't it? Unless I've got it wrong but I thought it was him anyway.

AdMMM

ziedth

The lad up front? Is his name Mick yeah? I thought he was called Martin. Getting awfully confusing.

Was looking at the archives for last year's FSL. Teva Wndrs finished fourth in the Premier Division. Other than that all the other teams are a mixture of 1st and 2nd division teams and some new teams. Citypro, who we just beat, were in the 1st division, albeit they came second last!

As for Teva, they had a guy called Delahunty that scored 15 of their 47 goals last year. It will be interesting to see if he got a few of the 6 the scored in their opener. If so we should just mark him out of the game and we'll be grand!

Ya Adam will look after him,

Or we just get Mick to crunch him

there should be one other top team from the premier Johnny. That's how I was told they'd be devided

Not that I can see. Unless they changed their name. Icon Travel scored 5 so it could well be them. There was a top team for years called All-Star Travel.

Night shifts plant horrible seeds in your head. Have been thinking about our play for the last 15 or so minutes of the game the other night with regards to our long and rushed balls.

Personally, at 2-0, I was happy to just get rid of the ball because I didn't want to make a silly mistake trying to play it out from the back that could have led to them getting one back and changing the dimension of the game altogether for the past few minutes. I knew I had the better of those I was marking, so I knew they'd have to try harder than they had been if they were going to have a clear chance.

I was also aware that Dylan was still working hard to try win the ball up front and with a lucky bounce or a nice piece of play, we could have extended our lead further.

I'm still getting used to playing defense and still not entirely comfortable there. I'm sure that as time goes on, I'll gain the confidence to be able to pick out a pass but until then, I'll happily play safety first

Well lads, sorry for intruding but I play for Boca seniors and we were well beaten by Teva on monday night. We held on in the first half and went in at half time 1-0 down, but we didn't have the legs in the 2nd half and they ran riot.

They look a good team and were much fitter than us, although that was no surprise as it was our first time playing the floodlit soccer league, anyway best of luck for the season.

Thanks for the scout BazBox! As I said, they played in the Premier Division last year and did well so they're a handy team. Hopefully we'll have the legs to keep up with them when we play each other.

Slksht

I wouldn't bank on that Jonathan tbh haha

Maybe a physical approach is a good option.. Dont let em play the way they want to.. Worry about that when it comes I suppose!!

ziedth

Ya thanks Bazbox,

I tell ya there is no shame in shipping 6 to one of those teams. Cheers for coming on, I'm glad we got drawn up against a beatable team first off it could easily have been against Teva.

Slksht

Looks like Ill be "back" for the next match guys.. With a new, one more injury and I need to give up, policy. Sad that it's come to that but it needs to be.. Just can't miss any more work so if I get broke up I just need to leave it for a while..

Need to win back my place now haha

Yeah you're in for some serious competition because the two lads were flying the other night.

Slksht

Not worried

AdMMM

So what's the availability like for Monday then? I'm back from Electric Picnic that day and have a project to hand in the following day, so I'm not sure. Will try my damnest to be back early and get everything out of the way in time.

ziedth

Would we be better just doing a "not available" list?

Save a good bit of room on the thread.

Also, I was gonna buy some bandages with the pool money. I have a feeling we'll need them.

Good idea. Any fall at all and you'll cut or graze something. My knee is in agony if I have to wear pants as they'll rub against the wound, and unfortunately clothing is not optional in work!

Should be alright for Monday hopefully. I'll try a run on Sunday to see how tight the skin is on the knee.

tombliboo83

What time is match at and who isn't available??

ziedth

Dynamo park @ 8 Gary.

They wom their first game 3-1 so prob handy enough.

I'll give it a miss for one more week so it looks like missing is:

Matt
Adam (maybe)

Gamer Bhoy 89

Not Attending:
Matt
Adam (Maybe)



Attending:
Scot' Dave

I also play in the floodlit league, a bit of friendly scouting I did during the week. I was out at the Dynamo Park game last Tuesday lets say there a team who try to "intimidate" the opposition to say the least.

They play a high line defensively and they have a good attacking wide left midfielder whose pace is frightening. He wears an Argentina jersey, if you can get someone to man mark him who has speed you will close them out of the game. Lad on the right wing is okay scored a cracker of a goal against Team America.

ziedth

Cheers for that,

Keep an eye here we usually have a good chat after each game so you might pick up something against our opposition.

There is a slight scummy undercurrent in the league isn't there? Playing the friendly against Kelly and dollard one of them started on scotish Dave when we were loosing like 6-0. Seemed a bit much tbh!

No bothers, I play for Boca like Bazbox so was checking our opposition for 2morrow nite, Celtic Blues. Then I said I would stay and watch what Dynamo were like. Some teams take it too seriously I suppose, I want to win but not that bad I would want to go out an kick three shades of **** out of an opposition player like.

Kelly and Dollard won the pre-season tournament didn't they?

MickClince12118

same again guys, lift needed for tomorrow

nkay1985

I won't be able to make it tomorrow evening. I'm working the evening shift and 8 o'clock is a bit too late to get off unfortunately.

I don't think we should be too worried if they try to get into it physically. We'll just set Mick on them!!!
