yes, i can confirm for thursday.

Played benildus last friday, surface is fine and pitch quiet wide so 12 players their is still alot of space. Although the rebounds are annoying with goals outside of wall.

Tell me this what rules do we play if any?

Presuming the goals are the ones I am thinking of, quite small height wise, then I assume the only rule really will be no shooting inside the goalkeepers semi circle area, i.e. For tap ins. That's the only rule we used to play in a 6 a side league with those style goals before

Only scoring inside the box is far more enjoyable I think..makes for a better game.
keeps the ball on the ground and better passing game

anyone can toe bog from the halfway line

I'm not in favour of either of those rules tbh.

Luckily, it will only be an issue for this one game.

Let's see how we get on Thursday.

You'd want to be an awful keeper to let in a goal from the halfway line in those size goals! :P

Ya sure I was only coming from experience. To be honest, there was only ever 1 or 2 goals disallowed throughout the whole league for goals scored inside the box so it's not too frequent anyway. Also I dunno if I'm explaining it clearly but the goalkeepers area was tiny, as in you could step out of the box from your goal line with 1 big step

manafana

think that box rule is to stop those awful rebound shots from way goals are that result in crappy goals, as mentioned boxes are much smaller.

Those rules are such a pain in practice as there's always arguments as to whether "that shot" was inside or outside.

played a game for two years with these rules, you get used to them...but its whatever is best for the pitch in use, player ability and consensus etc.

long balls/long shots in 5/6 aside kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion

Karlrocks23

I can definitely see the pros and cons of rules and having/not having rules.

When I play indoor 5-a-side on Tuesdays with a few friends we play the rule that you can only shoot inside your own half. It works very well. It encourages more of a tactical approach for attacks, but you can still have an opportunistic shot.

To start I'd probably play a completely open game, but if I was to bring a rule in, it would be that one. I'd get frustrated only being able to shoot inside the box. But that's just me!

Thanks lads, another good runabout tonight. Not a fan of those goals and the hoardings though! It's like indoor football.

Next match... we're home!

Singer73

I'm self medicating with wine at the moment. Should be ok for next week.

Yeah it was good craic alright, thanks again Josh! It'll be a nice treat going back to proper goals next week! Looking forward to playing at my home turf....

Watch out!!

Exclamation Marc

Cheers again Josh, was a good run out.

Yeah I'm gonna blame the pitch for my groin muscle pulling early...

Looking forward to the new pitch, Wesley is a great catch.

superfurry1

Great game tonight lads thanks for organising my legs hurt.

Colemania

It was a good run out alright. The goals were a right pain but it was a fairly wide pitch so it was actually grand for a run around

Astro.

Barry Badrinath

How was the pitch?

guile4582

I loved that pitch last night (astro with hoardings and half goals), no issues with the goals etc. but thats what I am used to

different strokes as they say..generally happy out with astro in any form. played a league on hockey pitches, wet winter nights forget about it, games are not enjoyable at all

martineatworld

Cheers for the game last night lads!
