WTF? Boards have a football team?

Yes! Boards.ie Football team.

Eh? Where do you play?

We play on the Southside of Dublin, in Wesley College Dundrum,

We play in the www.astro.ie Leagues, eleven a side.

We play on Tuesday nights.

Are you good?

Yes, we are a decent football team, who do quite well. We've been in tghe top 3 in our league for the past five seasons or so, winning it once and finishing 2nd last season.

Will I get a game?

If you are good enough, yes you will, Simple.

I usually have a squad of about 16-18 lads, covering injuries holidays and that. There is Roll-on-roll-off substitutions too.

Sounds good, how do I sign up?

First, I'll need to see you playing.

We have a friendly at Wesley College this evening at 7.30, and one next week also another one next week at Colmcille's Knocklyon at the same time.

If you are interested you can post in this thread, or PM me.

Tell me your position, that's the most important thing, I don't want someone turning up for a game who is a right winger, and me sticking them on at left back and me thinking they are shít.

Please do not tell me "I'll play anywhere really". You must have a preferred position.

Thanks for reading,

Des

Is there any chance of seeing if there would be enough interest to get a northside team going or has it been tried and failed ?

In my previous playing experience with the team there were plenty of Northside players including myself and the manager is a good Northside man. You'll get sorted with a lift most of the time if you want to play.

How do you feel about someone coming along to "watch the level" before deciding if Im good enough to play. Im a big lad, but would rival even Jan Molby for covering a patch of grass about 5m x 5m..

So its every tuesday at 7.30 in the same place ?

The game is 1 hour long ?

Is it 11 aside?

Are sliding tackles permitted or is it physical but not too physical ?

Edit: Is it a bit of craic or serious stuff?

Would definitely consider returning if the games weren't miles away on the Southside....and my general allergy to M50 tolls.

Northsoide rulez.

Same place every Tuesday, games in the season are at 715, 815 and 915

games are an hour, it's 11 a side, on astro so no sliding tackles, except for the keeper.

We lost 0-1, but that was an excellent result considering we had 7 new players all starting.

Can we leave this thread open? I want to bump it on Friday and Monday for the friendly next tuesday.

We picked up some excellent players last night thanks to this thread, and our own one over in our forum.

I've no problem with leaving it open anyway and bump away when game time comes around.

If it actively encourages people to get involved in the sport and ye pick up some players through the main soccer forum due to the greater exposure then its a good thing in my eyes.

Yes, it's an organised league with games taking place at Wesley College, Dundrum.

As it says in the OP.

I cant view that link when I am logged in (it says I do not have permission!) . . Do you need to get some sort of clearance ?

Also, I see you are playing a friendly next week, might be able to drop down and either play or have a look. Im unfit (just started 5aside again after summer break) so would be happy enough to give goalkeeper a shot if theres a spot going. . . .

It's just the Boards.ie team subforum and there is a thread where you can post if you are looking for a game.

So if anyone looking for a team or game but Dundrum on a Wednesday doesn't suit you should post there with what you're looking for exactly.
