Thought that was a great game tonight lads, definitely improving every week! Headin him for a few days so won't be here next Tuesday.

DrPhilG

Aye good game.

Apologies if I broke the rules by staying in nets too long. Can somebody clarify, some nights I get turfed out after 2 goals, other times I'm told to stay as long as I want.

I'm only new to the setup so I'll do as I'm told.

Mind you I let in some howlers this week, especially second time in.

Not sure what's happening next week yet.

KERSPLAT!

It was 2 goals and your out but it's not that strict, I wouldn't mind 3 and maybe even 4 but I think everyone should have to go in goal and obviously that would mean everyone goin out for a while too, jus my opinion

Fair enough, do me good to have to run a bit anyway and I scored a few when I was out too.

tbh, didn't know about a 2-goal rule/guideline

My view was that if someone wants to stay in goal for longer then that's ok, otherwise it would be 5-10 minutes in goal rotated around the team, but really it's up to the team.

Anyway, it's homer's ball so he can make the rules...:D

Flibbles

I didn't know there was any kind of rule for the goalkeeping, all I know is I make sure I'm in at least once for fairness (and usually not for very long [woeful keeper!]).

That was my thinking too. Normally people don't like going in nets so the reason for forcing rotation is so that the same person doesn't get stuck there half the night. If the same person wants to get stuck there half the night then let them IMO.

But last night people on the other team were complaining that I should go out (ironic since the complaining started right after I let in a soft one) so that's why I was asking.

If Homer is the boss then I'll go along with whatever he says. Like I said I've only played 4 or 5 games so I'm not looking to rock the boat.

My other concern is that if I go out I've got about 5-10 minutes before I'm gasping for air and need back in!

Ocurred to me last night that I still haven't a damn clue who most people are.

Lad's since I have started playing astro I have played to the sames rules... 2 Goals and your out, or if someone comes up and says I'll go in the keeper goes out (or on the odd occasion, like me last night where i let in 2 goals within 1 minute I stayed in for another goal). I was kinda the person who set the game up, not the boss of the game we all play and should have a say, but it was asked of me whats the rules on the first night, and we have played like that since week 1. There has never been bother with it either untill recently....

When we used to play in St,Johnston (long before boals opened) we had a keeper who played with us but always played along with the rules of 2 goals and your out (or if there is a spell of no goals being scored) someone comes to the keeper and says do you want to go out (becuase we don't all know each other thats a nice way of saying I want in :pac:) the keeper went out.

I'm the person that said that (two weeks now) that the keeper should be out because the keeper was in, what seemed like 25 odd minutes from the start of the game and it didn't matter what side i'm on because i was thinking the outfeild players need a break too, its not about how good bad you are in nets its a matter of it being fair for everyone and also because we don't know each other that well again some people don't wana be cheeky and say here i'll go in.

If people want to change that thats fair enough, if someone wants to stay in for more than 2 goals fair enough but staying in nets for half / most of the game shouldn't be an option IMO...

Anytime someone has said that to me because there hasn't been a goal in a while I've said the same thing, "I'm grand to stay in, unless you want in". If they genuinely wanted in rather than just being polite then I've gone out. The only people who have ever taken issue to me staying in was the other team.

Changed your tune?

You can stay in nets all the time every week, some unreal saves ya made (unless I'm playing against ya that is :pac:)

homer_simpson wrote: »

Well that's me told!

Like I said I'm not out to rock the boat, I only started recently. Just seemed to be getting mixed messages about whether I could stay in or not.

Apologies for any hassle caused.

as for the whole nets thing i can see both sides here. it can be very annoying playing with someone who is always in nets especially if you are tired/injured or whatever. I can also see the positives to it though as it means that the team is not constantly changing so you get to learn how others play and quickly get used to it. when its constantly switched it can mean learning a new rhythm again and you can lose the flow of the game.

If a player wants to spend more time in goal it should be added to the team picking process, need a fitter 4 or 5 outfield maybe compared to the other team whereas the opossing team maybe should be made up of people who have played together a few times before so they know each other and can quickly adapt every switch.

does that make sense?
