You didn’t fall asleep you c**t. You didn’t just forget the game you’ve been playing at 7pm every Thursday for the last 8 years either. You’re just a fat, selfish, lazy, spoilsport c**t. Then when the names are going in the hat for next weeks game, some c**t is nightshift or working away or something, and previous weeks no-show c**t shamelessly chucks his availability in there. Then every c**t in the groupchat instantly forgives the c**t and welcomes him back in with open fucking arms! I fucking hate fives. Five-a-side c***s are honestly the worstcunts. f**k off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Names going into a hat ?Every monday I send a text out to my original 10 to see who is playing. As soon as call offs happen I go into reserves ( see the two arseholes on this forum) and that is me set for Friday. Illness can creep in or maybe some dont know until Wednesday if babysitters etc which is fine as still two days to sort it.Sorting out numbers for five a sides is straight forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 We used to play in a 6 a side league on a Sunday night. I had to organise it and it was a nightmare. Started off with about 10 guys saying they'd play, and it just kept whittling down until we'd have about 4 actually turn up by the end of the season. I chucked it after that, wasn't worth the hassle. Arseholes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I organised a game and did this - building up a kitty. There's an element of trust needed but it allowed us to buy a couple of new balls, and there was a nice wee starter kitty for one of the nights out. That’s no a bad idea, but our price increase came from the actual Powerleague putting up their prices by a quid. Fiddling about with ten pence pieces is not something I can be arsed with. From abdy’s fives-based annoyance, it seems my work fives game is a bit of an outlier. Regular as clockwork, straight from work so usually noone’s late, and we can draft from a reserve list if there’s a drop-out. Fair brightness up the midweek when you know you’ve got a decent game to look forward to on a Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Not actually petty at all, but groups of students at bars that all want to order and pay for their drinks individually. Introduce a minimum card payment of £5 to cut this sh*t out IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 You'd rather they spent more time counting out cash, waiting for change etc? Card payment is obviously the superior payment method for a hassle-free trip to the bar Them paying by card isn't the point, more that they could easily buy somebody else a drink if they're going to be there for at least a couple. Minimum payment would make them think twice and help resurrect the lost art of the 'round'. I was with a large group of PhD students last week and despite being there a couple of hours, not a single one asked their peers any variation of "anyone need a drink whilst I'm going up?". Don't get me started on coffee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 We have a what’s app group and the 10 that played get 2 days to confirm for the following week and then it goes it to anyone who is available, some people put themselves as reserves but there’s not much you can do if someone pulls out an hour before kick off or just doesn’t show up. If we don’t have the numbers with 48 hours to go then it’s cancelled so no one has to pay for the pitch and if anyone who is confirmed then pulls out it’s up to them to find the replacement. subhuman. Basically that’s exactly how our WhatsApp chat works. There’s a pool of about 16/17 folk but now and again it goes right down to the day before we play to get a confirmed 10. On the rare occasion it has to be cancelled, the place we play at let’s us cancel up until midday on the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
