I should be able to get a couple of officials to go over to referee if needed

[Green Tribe]

Incidentally, WTF is Terschelling, exactly.....are there any ports/airports within a 100 miles/kms?

Depending on when it is, :rolleyes: I'd be up for 'managing' the rabble.....have a mere 17-18 yrs.'experience' in this respect & fancy one international jaunt, if the pocket & bones allow? & If of course you want me?

Luckily heard from Lou.today.....otherwise starting to wonder If the Red & Black hoops had found their way onto Ebay or something?!

Huh, trying to edge me out of management eh? Just TRY!! :mad: :D

[Babysis]

count me in

[Drumcondra Red]

Huh, trying to edge me out of management eh? Just TRY!! :mad: :D

In fairness, you weren't much use... I've never heard a quiter manager!!!

[Block G Raptor]

Ok so we've the backroom staff, a Referee and a clapped out keeper now all we need is a Team

http://www.welt-atlas.de/datenbank/karten/karte-1-458.gifHrmm, bit of a distance from Amsterdam but hey, I'll still go, can always get the boat:p.

[Green Tribe]

Well given your 'record' & mine......it'd be a bit like comparing a *WWGS , to say Ray Wilkins?!:eek:


*Well, 'appearance-wise';)

i don't really understand that sentence, i know who ray wilkins is though :D

[Green Tribe]

Hrmm, bit of a distance from Amsterdam but hey, I'll still go, can always get the boat:p.

That's the fun of it, you don't want to be stuck in amsterdam, you'd only go get yourself arrested within minutes, you Sligo lot! :D

[Block G Raptor]

Right Guy's been doing some research
If were going to Terschelling its a bit of a trek but that should make it more fun
looks like Flights to amsterdam Train and Ferry

Should be good. Time to start thinking seriously about this

PS. Maybe we could intergrate my stag nite into the trip?? any objections

[Drumcondra Red]

Was talking to a Dutch bloke in Riga on my way to Vilnius and he said its a great place for a younger crowd to go...

Sounds Good. Hope we can get the numbers. anyone got any prefrences for dates etc. or is it too early to contemplate

[Babysis]

Have you spoken to field etc about how they got over in April? Im sure they can recommend the best way to get there.

Ghosts from the past eh?
Arjen has told me he has moved to Rotterdam, and if some of the others live there or somewhere near there, would it not be easier to get to than Terschelling, even though it looks lovely. I will email and see if they are up for a return leg and when suits them.
Who would be up for a return leg(we're gonna win this time :D )
say sometime in the warmer months April-July? Just an idea as it was so much fun the last time!

Think they had a marathon trip by ferry and road from the craggy island to amsterdam then flight to dublin! :eek:

[Anto McC]

Provided no unexpected surprises,i'm in :)

[superfrank]

Wouldn't be able to make it over before the start of July. I've a little thing called the Leaving Cert to take care of in June.

[Babysis]

Same as, after April suits me. Better to be in the summer - not sure where i will be after that;) :D

[Bluebeard]

I'm on for it again. Late May, or June sounds good to me, work & college permitting.

This time we'll bring a full team!

[Block G Raptor]

I'll Be In If I can. Have to be after march. got the little matter of the iminent arrival of mini Raptor no2
**Note to self if i keep this up I'll be bringing my own team over in a couple of years**

Sweet Jesus! :eek: Here's the soap opera again! :D
Good stuff, well how about late July, early August? Need to check about holidays and stuff cos don't want to interupt the teaching/fishing/dutch navy season! :p
Will email field and janden, I think I have both their emails...
They probably don't read foot.ie anymore, never got their photos either! Not a hint to paste them on this site, you can email them to me!!

[Block G Raptor]

Thanking you sir !
Good to see you back on the site you've been missing for ages

Seconded...I can leave important Boez rivalries to one side for miniRaptors' first few years..;) :D

Due to final year commitments, I couldn't possibly be able to give a sort of time if I was able to depart...even up to October so that's me out :o

Cheers man (I Think)

* reminds me of a line from a great movie ID "I'll teach my Kids to come around and eat your kids"

[Babysis]

well GT, if its ok can you make contact with the dutch lot and see if they are still up for a rematch, and if so see if they can give an idea of times, dates, location etc, thanks :)

Will chat to you about it Friday week (see if we can persuade the others to sign up :D )

Okey-doke, sending the email to field + co today...:D
Yeah, we could sign up a few new recruits now, couldn't we!? :D

[field]

Hi there,

Some of us make babies in summer, others are stupid enough to move. I´ve left Terschelling, but I think it´s great that you would like to come over to Terschelling. If you do, I´ll surely come as well! I´ve got Julie´s mail and send it through to another Westsider. He´ll probably contact you. Looking forward to the next win :D .

Arjen.

We have been working on our tactics - the win will surely be ours this time. We promised you all a rematch, its only fair :D

Good to hear from you on the website Arjen, I replied to your group email that was all in Dutch so I had no idea what I was responding to! :p
I would love to go to Terschelling, I think it would be so much more fun than Rotterdam etc. See what everyone thinks! Tell Jan to get his fishing boat out! :D
One correction though, it will be us winning this time. I only had a few hours sleep the night before so my coaching skills were not tuned in! ;)

Did we actually have any tactics in the first game....! :D :eek:

I'm starting a player's mutiny. Replace GT as manager!!

GT OUT!! GT OUT!! :D :D :D

[Green Tribe]

Cut it out you! I only had a few hour's sleep! :mad:
You want Staunton instead then!? :p :eek:

[Bluebeard]

You want Staunton instead then!? :p :eek:
GT forever, GT forever!

[Green Tribe]

GT forever, GT forever!

Heh heh, that's more like it! :p
Ok, as Field said, he has sent on my email to another West-sider, so let us hope we hear something soon!
This'll be fun! :D

[Block G Raptor]

At least GT has more experiance than staunton
and she's something in common with him ! we both got stuffed by the dutch

oh my god, i had to re-read that!

[Block G Raptor]

Sorry that should read both their teams got stuffed by the dutch:o ;)

[field]

After waiting a week I still haven´t got a sign from the north. Probably a not working e-mailadress or something like that. So, I know it´s not giving much hope, I now have send Janden a e-mail with the message to contact you. :eek: Until we post again!:cool:

[sligoman]

we both got stuffed by the dutchThat's not the only thing they have in common! They're both red heads with horrible accents:p :D

*runs away quickly*

[dfx-]

I now have send Janden a e-mail with the message to contact you. :eek:

There's only two Nick Nolte's...........;) :cool:

[superfrank]

Anybody know what the latest on this is???

Any return leg? I think we can overturn them on the away goals rule. ;)

[Bluebeard]

I'm one of the exiles now, but if I get notice enough, I'd be happy to travel over for it!

Granted you might not want me playing, but I'm one of about 4 who have two caps for the "International XI".

By the way, when do I get those caps?

[Green Tribe]

Oh God, to see this thread again! :D
The last email I got Field said he'd moved from Terschelling to Rotterdam. Jaanden does not write to me :(

For me anyway August looks to be the free month... Maybe it would be better to play somewhere in mainland Holland, easier for everyone to get to? I can mention it to Field? They may be busy, but I'll see what they say. Bet they are scared of being hammered at home! :eek: You abroad now Bluebeard???

[sligoman]

As always, I'm easy*;)

*As regards travel dates that is:D.

[field]

What a coincedence! First time since october on foot.ie and this thread is started again today. I´ve been on Terschelling in february and spoke some of my former teammates. It appears to be so, that no-one volunteers to organise the game. Some are to busy, others ... I don´t know. It´s a shame.:mad:

[Green Tribe]

As always, I'm easy*;)

*As regards travel dates that is.

Jaanden told me you were easy! :eek:

Shame Field, can you not get some more recruits??
How about the Dutch National team, they must be desperate for some decent opposition for a friendly! :p

More recruits? Well, I´m playing now in Dordrecht (www.oranjewit.nl). But the team I´m now playing in is a lot better than the westsiders.:cool:

[Green Tribe]

OOh a fancy website for your team! :eek: So we won't be playing the Westsiders then, is it this team instead?? Oh we're really in trouble now! We need proper players :D

[sligoman]

But the team I´m now playing in is a lot better than the westsiders.:cool:How'd you get playing with them so?:p
