If we start struggling for numbers, especially as the weather gets colder, we might need a few extra. But if everyone was available we would have a squad of about 18 players so we might have to refuse membership to our prestigious team!
3 in total - to be honest its probably the only 3 on the team that had any real interest in playing the fair way (regular people playing matches and not bringing in a load of newbies all the time). It started out as a group of friends playing together and quickly turned into competitveness as to who they should drop to start the newbies.
I played right back myself against ye but its not my favourite position - i played as a striker in the pre season tournament and managed 6 goals in 4 starts and with mooley you have a great left wing/left back who isnt afraid to put the foot in.
And at the end of the day we're all Boardsies here
- a bit of healthy competition for a run out on the pitch would be a good craic

It's out in the new pitch out by B&Q it's suppose to be like playing on a fairway.
Stupid IMHO though having two leagues because there is going to be one group of teams loyal to Kevin and the ther sick of the pitch in waterpark. So what I see happening is only each league having about 10 teams.
My advice on the 3 lads is to get them down. It's a long long season yet and the boys seem sound.
Think my days of playing might be numbered but hopefully not. I def won't try anything this side of Christmas and start from scratch in the new year. Sickening to be honest but in the meantime I'll go down to the games and shout yee on when the weather isn't too bad 0 -

Thought it was a good game myself lads. The team is starting to gel fairly well now just need to try and up the fitness for the latter parts of games and try to cut out the small errors. 1-1 was probably a fair result and shows ya can never rely on a 1 goal lead. Had a fairly poor game myself which may have translated to the defence. Ill up it in training and make sure that dosent happen again.
P.S.hows it going lads, im involved in running oceans eleven and we are 4th in the league, however our goalkeeper has got a long term injury and as a result we've lost our last 3 league games. we have looked everywhere for a new keeper with no luck so i said i'd give this a try, so if theres anyone out there interested please get back to me.Mr check raise wrote: »I propose a lifetime ban off boards for celticutd87 if he replies to this:D

Kicking off next Thursday. The pitches are miles better than Waterpark although that's no surprise. Cheaper to play out there too and registration has closed.
In fairness the pitch is the downside but that will sort itself out in time when this new pitch out there gets up and going.
As regards the running of the league to be totally honest i think its worked out really well and in fairness Kev has done an excellent job at it. I know myself how much pressure it is to run something like that as i was running the Tweedy Group league for 4 years (G'wan Muldoons ) so when you see the professionalism gone into this with the website etc its great.
As regards the price you also have to think of the overheads - Pitch, referees, floodlights, website, cash prizes, free games etc so when you think of it that way...........0 -

The pitch is a disaster ( cuts and bruises after a simple fall).I'd prefer this new league with fifa rules etc seems like a huge migration will occur next year unless the pitch is sorted. For 220e per match you should expect a decent surface0 -
an update on the new waterpark astro pitch would be handy ,
the wit league thing seems a bit iffy in the least with the big blue appeals button on the payment page ,this could be where they intend to make an extra few quid like the old astro 5 a side used to do with fines for everything going it also runs alongside camogie,hurling,& gaelic fb...
and your only savin a tenner a team with the risk of a sliotar flyin in on the pitch
have no problems with the wp refs cant knock em its no easy task there some nights ,if everyone stuck to playin good football ya wouldnt even notice them on the pitch..0 -
