organise casual games of football

[crc]

I've had an idea for something to add to foot.ie
(maybe someone else already said this somewhere before, but I can't find any mention of it)

Can we have a sub-forum where people can post times and locations of casual games of football? :ball:
I currently play one game of football regularly every week, but I'd like to play more. It would be good if we had a forum where people could post if they're playing games or want to organise games, but need more players.
I'm not talking about propper teams or leagues, just casual games of football in the park. The forums could, obviously, be regionalised - maybe by county.

[tiktok]

Good idea, even if I originally thought the thread was about football matches between 'casuals' :eek: ;)

[dahamsta]

Well, how about we start off with everyone that organises a game posting in this thread, see what kind of numbers we have. Just the basics like.

[pineapple stu]

[Colie]

Is anyone disputing Tallaghts Westness?

[onenilgameover]

Not a bad idea...maybe it ill catch on...Northside all the way!

[aido_b]

Yep Im in, prepared to be dazzled by the silky skills of the northside!

[liam88]

[ciaran76]

[crc]

Well I'm happy that this seems to have gotten a good response, no one else from Cork has posted yet :(

Does this mean have to have a dublin ref for fans games too?

;)

[ciaran76]

So is that 7 Dublin based players so far ?

[wws]

Does this mean have to have a dublin ref for fans games too?

Cork City - First team to lose with a Scottish Ref. FACT! :p

[wws]

BY THE WAY WE at pats have a fans team already on the go (not in any league) and we will gladly give any foot.ie selection a friendly or two in dublin this summer if yiz get a team together

[aido_b]

I'll take that challenge! So its a Pats fans XI ? Ah that means that we'll prob only need 9 players so ...

[monutdfc]

Anyone got the mailing list for the old eircom league message board games?

[exile]

il be up for it maybe a 5 aside el sporters teams e.g cork city fans in dublin
longford fans etc

[blobbyblob]

I could get 1 or 2 teams from waterford

Could this be the birthplace of the inaugural foot.ie cup.

I could probably get a ground to host a one day tournament if anyones interested in travelling.

How about sticking this in the Junior League section as a sticky as most leagues will be winding down now....

[Dublin12]

Good idea Exile

[exile]

well lads see if we can get teams together so i could probably get 2 teams of city exiles

[Bald Student]

Could this be the birthplace of the inaugural foot.ie cup.I seem to remember some cork fans waving a foot.ie cup around belfield a few years ago. Is it still in existance anyone?

[dahamsta]

I seem to remember some cork fans waving a foot.ie cup around belfield a few years ago. Is it still in existance anyone?That's right, there was a "Foot.ie Challenge Cup" a couple years ago. I went to a trophy shop to get the smallest trophy they had, but when I hooked up with the lads that evening Joe had procured an even smaller one. So there's actually two, but I think the one I got was actually "engraved". ;)

Anyway, I was thinking of setting up a probationary forum called "Foot.ie Casuals", but given discussion in this thread (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=24393) - that's kind of why I asked - I'm not so sure now. However I get the impression that between all the organisational conversations and the slagging and cheering afterwards there'll be plenty of discussion to warrant a forum, what does everyone else think?

I'll be a CHEERLEADER

sure Kerr's tribe and Babysis will join me but I'll have to hold trials... :D

[crc]

I'd definately be up for some kind of organised football, like a foot.ie cup (especially as I wasn't in Ireland for the last one), but my original intention was for a forum were people could post messages for pick-up games like this:

"Game of Football
Sunday May 1st, at 3pm,
Douglas Village Green, Cork
Need an extra 5-7 players."

NB - This is a fictional entry, there isn't actually a game of football organised for Sunday May 1st at 3pm! There isn't anywhere called 'Douglas Village Green' anyway!

But continue discussing a tournament anyway aswell - all football is good (well, except if its Finn Harps :p )

[dahamsta]

my original intention was for a forum were people could post messages for pick-up gamesThat was my intention too. If a competition came out of it, well and good, but it wouldn't be mandatory.

[blobbyblob]

Waterford has an annual inter firms competition called the Factory League. Ill be looking for opposotion (11 a side) if anyone can offer some competition.

A venue and ref is ready to role if any of you can provide opposition in May. Ill be managing the company's B side so the standard doesnt have to be that great. :)

[Éanna]

anyone on here gonna be involved in the setanta fans cup in dublin next sunday? couple of us heading up

[Hitman]

Well I'm happy that this seems to have gotten a good response, no one else from Cork has posted yet :(

One talentless player from Cork responding.

[Green Tribe]

I'll be a CHEERLEADER

sure Kerr's tribe and Babysis will join me but I'll have to hold trials... :D

Or I could be the physiotherapist ;) :D , but only if I'm allowed to pick the players, ahem :D

[Peadar]

Or I could be the physiotherapist ;)


Is there any thread you wont post on!?

[Green Tribe]

Is there any thread you wont post on!?

[Dublin12]

eh..................



NO!

:D

[ciaran76]

So have we got enough from Dublin to get a team together ?

[Dublin12]

Thats about 10 Ciaran,I think :confused:

[ciaran76]

Thats about 10 Ciaran,I think :confused:


Not enough to get a game going then i suppose. :(

[Dublin12]

Wouldn't think so :( ,theres always people that pull out,out of 10 we'd be lucky to get 3,might be able to have a game of 3 n' in :D

[pete]

Anyone need a goalpost? ;)

[Bluebeard]

Dublin based (northside) former inside right here ready for the call-up.

How does Saturday afternoons starting next week in Phoenix Park suit people - classic jumpers for goalposts five or seven a side stuff if need be. Surely there has to be about 15 or so of us who would be on for it, and of that maybe 10 who could make most Saturdays.

I am presuming that running in these games consists of everyone going cracked for the first ten minutes or so, before easing back to a diet of strolling, sweating and swearing.

By the way, I certainly would agree with Adam about the forum - I look forward to reading about Tiktok's fitness in the week before a critical Dublin Exiles Vs Non-Jackeen Gents clash in the next Foot.ie Challenge Cup :D

[Dublin12]

Sound..Saturday 7th May,see how many can make it and we'll confirm on the Friday before.

[Bluebeard]

I'm in anyhow :)

[Fair_play_boy]

Well I'm happy that this seems to have gotten a good response, no one else from Cork has posted yet :(I'll throw the odd bottle, OK? For atmosphere, like. :p

[dahamsta]
