Thistle_do_nicely Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Well, that was fun! It took me about 20 minutes to even get into the game! However, by that point we were at least seven or eight down. Teams were a bit uneven, however you aren't really going to know this until everyone has already been picked, are you? Thought the stand out players for our team were McGowan and Sao Paulo. I don't think we were talking to each other enough, and that is where we went wrong IMO. The other team were shouting to each other for the early pass, whereas we were just standing about hoping that it would come to us. If I wasn't in the opposition team, I would have liked to have stood and watched Chrissy Muir's team with their link up passes. Even though we lost, I still think we all played OK. I'm very unfit at the moment, but I am going to start going for a run in the morning to try and improve my level of fitness, and will hopefully be along most weeks from now on so I should hopefully see some sort of improvement. And Chrissy, I forgot to ask. Just before the lights went off, when you were trying to get the ball off of me in the bottom right corner, were you intentionally trying to feel my arse? I loved it. Fair assessment. I had a bit of a shocker, but I got a *relatively* good amount of running done all the same, so at least it was a decent workout. Heads seemed to go right down early on, but for the 2nd half of that game I think pretty much everyone was giving their all, so that was good to see. There was one goal in particular later on where we got carved apart by a series of 5 or 6 one-touch passes which pretty much summed up the game. I could barely move at some points, too, so not only was my all round play shite, I couldnt even run about like a headless chicken to make it look like I was doing something useful . Playing 5'es for 2 hours on Sunday evening probably didn't help, especially since there were only 9 people who turned up to that one, so everyone had to have a stint on a team with only 4 players, which was exhausting to say the least. Don't think my being a chronic smoker and eating shite food helps my fitness either, to be honest. Good fun, all the same. Hopefully they aren't fully booked at 9:30 next time, though, didnt get back in to my house till about 1AM or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said though, the heads just started dropping when we went seven down quite early. Still, we kept at it and never really gave up. Looking forward to next week already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it was me? Because just before the lights went out was when Fudge chipped it in and I headered it over the bar from the edge of the box. If it was me, as much as you'd of liked it to of been, it wasn't intentional. B) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam_Wee Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thought we could maybe start early this week with the names (that, and I am really bored). I'd like to come out to play again this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sao Paulo Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Aye, I'm In and that no? Should stress that anyone reading the thread who wants a game should simply post their desire. Always see folk looking on, whether that's just nosiness or what I'm not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 IN Adam Wee Fudge Shakey Sao Paulo I get the feeling we're going to have more than enough people this week. Maybe we should make the booking today so that we've got a better chance of getting the 9.30pm slot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 My ankle's still not perfect but I'll play. Desperate for a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_Wee Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 So that's us at five (possibly six if Kev decides to play). Could we not get it booked a wee bit earlier today and see if we can get an earlier slot? It was brutal last week finishing at 11! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam_Wee Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 BUMP! Anyone else interested? Cannon, if we don't get enough numbers will you be able to get some of your mates to come again? Ask Brian, he was great last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 After the offering of financial incentives, Kyle is going to play which means there's every chance Mick (Lambie's Apprentice) will also play. It looks like we'll be needing a few of SP's generic friends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
