foot.ie xmas party in dublin

[Don Vito]

The first foot.ie wedding!

[Sinéad]

So is the 16th decided then???

[Peadar]

So is the 16th decided then???

That was the idea.
We were trying to get all the parties on the same night.
Could you not get one going down in Blazers? ;)

[Don Vito]

The 16th it is Sinead. Starting off in the Village and ending in Tramco. If everyone from foot.ie could drink in the same area it would be great. I'm not too familiar with the Village so someone else can suggest an area, but with reagrds to Tramco everyone should hang around the upstairs windows on the front of the building that look onto Ratmines Road. If anyone is confused it will be the area directly over your head when you walk into the club. Should be a great night!

If only I was in Longford - I would!

Try get on to Xlex - He might be able to organise a Longford party in Blazers!!! :rolleyes:

[max power]

[Peadar]

Is he gone from Dublin?

It might be an idea to have a party in Longford for the fans of Regional clubs. :D

[Sinéad]

Yeah, hes gone from Dublin :(

JJ's might be an idea - was wondering why it wasn't on the list??

And why did the Glenroyal (or club Fizz) not make the list??? :D

[$Leon$]

And why did the Glenroyal (or club Fizz) not make the list??? :D

one reason sinead FARMERS da glenroyal is the biggest hang out of young farmers in the south meath-north kildare area would go der even if max was on the decks and dey bused all da fit wans from bondi down for the night and served free drink all night.

[$Leon$]

So is the 16th decided then???

[Don Vito]

Was in Tramco last night, feel its my duty to keep an eye on the place until the party. I'm gonna go every Wed & Thurs to make sure everything is ok for the Big foot.ie bash. Have to say it was savage last night-nice crowd, not too packed and a loada gorgeous ladies! Dillo was there too I believe.

[TheJamaicanP.M.]

Struggling to make it at the moment. Have an exam the next day. No doubt, our new member JoeSemi will make an appearance. Actually, on second thoughts, Tramco is over-20s. Not JoeSemi's target market at all. :D

come early in the night and meet da lot of us. head home then and hit da books. u should be able to study enough then meet up with us again for a feed in they think its all over (aka hit the spot)

[b_mcsweeney]

i'll probably try and call in if i can. will everyone be wearing their colours, or will the prohibitive door policies demand some form of secret handshake type mechanism?

[carrickharp]

It will be like when Homer joined the Stonecutters in the Simpsons :p

tom runs a tight ship in tramco so if we all just gather ib the same spot. balcony above the door we can all hang round there. lets face it we'll all be able to figure out who's from foot.ie fairly handy

That won't deter me P.M. I'm only a recent signing to Tom O' Neill's club and Tom expects big things of his new recruit in the forthcoming weeks, after the initial settling in period. Tom reckons JoeSemi will be at full fitness when the party comes around!!!........ The Green Hen and I will form a formidable duo up front that night with Max and Dillo pullin the strings in midfield and Leon keenly contesting every ball at the back alongside Don :)

Is this a seven a side team?

Would much prefer to see you at right back, Don Vito at left back, Max pulling the strings in midfield, Dillo on the right flank, and $Leon$ in the hole behind the front two like Kakka of Milan. We might have to put your mate Anto in goals. That leaves us short a striker. Anyone you can think of that's been in good scoring form of late? And we aint talking about scoring against the Cats. This is football, not hurling.

[Don Vito]

The Trevster is always good for one, not necessarily stunners everytime but a score all the same. If only we had the Don Vito of the 2001/02 season back-he was a serious player in the CAmden St. area.

JoeSemi at full fitness?! We've all seen what he's capable of so far this season in Rafa's Red Army! Compare him to young Hibbert across Stanley Park- like chalk and cheese the two of 'em! Just like Heskey, it could take him half a decade to settle in! Word has it though that Dillo will have regained full fitness for the forthcoming night in Tramco- even at 50%, he can be a right handful! :p
As for the Tramco team Joe, your players are totally out of position! You're the lad who wants to follow in Mourinho's footsteps?!
Up front, I'd have the PM alongside Don Vito. The PM is a proven natural goalscorer. As he regularly says on nights out, "I have to finish this wan off!!"
Myself and Max would form a formidable midfield pairing, Max of course been the holding midfielder. ;)
Yourself JoeSemi and $Leon$ would form the two centre backs and put the fear of God in opposing attackers, providing a resolute defence!
The Green Hen on the other hand, although a proven talent tends to drift in and out of games, resembling a certain Harry Kewell :p and his place in the starting line-up would be up for grabs!! He has an attitude problem and rarely tends to show loyalty to any one club for too long!! :rolleyes:

[max power]

what in the name of jebus are yee lot smokin or drinkin....

[$Leon$]

what in the name of jebus are yee lot smokin or drinkin....


just as long as ur not smokin r drinkin before the match max u'll be all right. need u and dillo to do a solid job in mid field

[Terry Phelan]

Duno what ye are smoking or drinking but i'd love some of it. :confused: :)

[max power]

just as long as ur not smokin r drinkin before the match max u'll be all right. need u and dillo to do a solid job in mid field

when is this game :confused:

[$Leon$]

nothin fixed yet max but well let u no asap

[JoeSemi]

I'd have to agree with ye Dillo about the P.M leading the line for us. Saw him in action y'day and the man definitely has a predatory instinct in front of goal. He took 2 or 3 goals with great aplomb when all around him were losing their composure. If the P.M can transfer this form to our proposed team I can't see many people stopping us. :D

Thanks lads. Appreciate all the praise. After just over two years of persistent injuries, I finally returned to first team duty in late July. It took me some time to hit full match fitness, but when I did I felt I was doing very well. Ive scored 9 times since my return to first team action. This included a cracker away in Paris, my first European goal. At the time, Don Vito commented that I was at my peak. However, I feel that I have a lot more to give. Unfortunately, I am out of action again until January. However, I am confident of making a swift return to first-team action when January comes. While I never get spectacular goals, I feel that the quality of my finishing has improved substantially this season. Im confident that I can hit the 20-goal mark by end of season in mid-May. With you lads providing the amunition, anything is possible.

On a seperate note, there would seem to be some disagreement regarding $Leon$'s positioning in the team. Is he gona play in the Kakka role in the hole behind the main striker or the George Costa role in the centre of defence??

Leon is a more rounded footballer than Jorge Costa, with a lot more to his game. Leon's versatility can be used to benefit the team in a number of ways. He is undoubtedly a player that commands respect and could be deployed better as our own Fernando Couto- Dependable, good communicator and not afraid to stick the boot in. On the other hand we would be leaving ourselves short in creative talent in the attacking third, and like any world-class player Leon can thread a pass through the eye of a needle. Similar to Kaka, and not too dissimilar to Jorge Cadete, Leon could bring that continental flair to a team that can, sometimes, flatter to deceive.

Max is somewhat of an unknown quantity at present, and until our scouting report comes back Max might have to be content with a place on the bench. The line-up as it stands:

?

JoeSemi Dillo

Green Hen Leon


JPM Don

[$Leon$]

thanks for the kind words joesemi.
stickin me in mid field could be dangerous.
back in the day i was more used to playin a gary doc role either upfront or in defence. equally skillfull in either position. well that was in the yard at school where ther were no lines men to rule me off side which most of my goals were in fairness. used the brute force and ignorance style rather than any honned at any contenintal super clubs. box hatcher goal snatcher was a more accurate description.
glad to hear u have such confidence in me playin mid field prob.
prob try and play the roy keane style hard man role.
just don't be expectin a creative winger

[Don Vito]

What has this cack got to do with our Christmas Party lads? Can you keep this sort of chat to MSN please.

[Dillo]

Got to agree with you there Don! The way this party is shaping up, there'll be nobody at it only The PM, $Leon$ and JoeSemi! :)

Having said that however, I must say I like the look of that backline JoeSemi! ;) Solid as a rock! The PM after his long sustained injuries has been a revelation this season and his place up front in the starting line up is fully merited. He has put in numerous 'Man of the Match' displays this season and could well prove the difference on the night. Midfield, I feel could prove problematic. There's no doubting the quality that both The Green Hen and $Leon$ possess but as they are two conflicting personalties I believe this could adversely affect the teams performance. Fingers crossed! :cool:
