International friendly

[Drumcondra Red]

All we need nw is a pitch... Gaffer (KT) you sorting that out??? Maybe we should play this over 2 legs, home and away??? :D

[field]

Defenders badly needed, especially if Field's boys are playing total football[/QUOTE]

Don´t be scared. I told you allready about the dissonant, our Englishman. He doesn´t understand this Dutch system. :rolleyes:

[superfrank]

Eh.....who's the gaffer KT or Bluebeard??

[field]

What does the word gaffer mean? Something like the leader/contactperson?

[Dublin12]

Gaffer = boss

[superfrank]

Or big-headed eejit who thinks he/she knows everything bout football and can shout at you whenever they want...

Sorry, I had some bad managers at schoolboy level... :o

[Drumcondra Red]

Its about to get a hell of a lot worse with K "the real hairdryer" T at the helm!!! :D

[Drumcondra Red]

Oh and superfrank, bluebeard is the selection commitee...

[field]

Now putting together a selection seems to go smoothly, you must think about a place to play. Is Landsdown Road available that particular saturday?

[field]

Can someone tell me more about Ely Rangers from Dublin?

Maybe we'll have to settle for something a little more low-key.

[Green Tribe]

Ok, Bluebeard will assist me on matters, he's good at organising these things. Eh, a pitch, you locals have any ideas about that....?? :confused: :eek: :ball:
How come I'll be playing alongside the dog FFS? :mad: :D

Although, I remeber a very young Dutch national team, that later on were the European Cup Winners, playing Ireland on Landsdown Road. After 2-0 down, they won by 2-3. Van Basten: those were the days! :D

Precisely, were. Don't think you can come over here and walk all over us! :D ;)

[field]

That´s the spirit! The only thing we are scared of is this Tram14-dog though! :D

[field]

And about searching a pitch: it would be very nice if there is a cantina (is that the right word?) next to it. We think a glass is a must for the body!

[superfrank]

That´s the spirit! The only thing we are scared of is this Tram14-dog though! :D
So am I!! ;)

[Tram_14]

That´s the spirit! The only thing we are scared of is this Tram14-dog though! :D

No need to worry about the dog, in fact I'd ask you not to worry about the dog at all, he picks up on fear very easily & then it won't be the football he's concentrating on.......field.....as long as you can run it should be fine... really....

Anyway hes only a small fella.

Note to self.....check religious cults called "The Westsiders" from isle of Terschelling.... :D

[-lamb-]

what about playing some clubs' supporters teams, field? surely there must be some, and its likely they won't be the fittest either!

[Drumcondra Red]

The Shels and Rovers ones play in a league, besides, he's playing us!!!

[field]

The only religion we believe in is Bachus-ism!

The first contact about a friendly is with KT´s/Bleubeards squad. If they get it going on, it seems fair to me we play them. I also have got an e-mail from a guy from Ely Rangers (do you know that team?), they maybe want to play us as well and they are interested to visit Terschelling as well. But they are second in the line-up. It could be an idea to keep an Easter-International-Soccer-Tournament, but it has to be organised and maybe that´s asked to much? :confused:

[Drumcondra Red]

Way too much!!! Ely Rangers??? Who the fook are they??? anyway can you not squeeze in 2 matches? no? wheres our invite for an away leg then field???

Two matches? We arrive on friday late in the afternoon and leave on sunday early in the afternoon. Where do we squeeze in drinkingtime then? :cool:

[field]

First things first. After the game we maybe never want to see eachother again. Tram14 his fear for our religious team, that may ritualy sacrifice his dog to Bachus for a bit of good luck, might be right. And how would you respond to this hypothetical incident? ;)

[Drumcondra Red]

I'd probably just go out on the píss!!!

Why you lot weirdos, are you???

[field]

Islanders always are a bit weird, don´t you think? No, of course you´re all more than welcome for a game over here. We would welcome you and you would have a great time here for sure. Terschelling lives from tourism: beautiful nature and beaches and nice towns with lots of pubs (not unimportant)! :cool:

[Drumcondra Red]

Look field, are you weird rake worshiping, dog sacrificing psycho's or not??? easy enough question to answer :D

[Bluebeard]

Jaysus, what do ye boys do during the half time break then :eek: I'm beginning to get worried about this overly professional attitude from ye boys.

To be accurate, I'm just wanting to make sure that we have a squad to play the game, and so will happily do whatever is necessary to get it together - outside the pressurised world of mangement if I can avoid it. In other words, I am just the big-headed eejit who thinks he knows everything about football and can shout at you whenever Kerr's Tribe tells me to... ;)

I reckon a small round robin type thing with three games of 45 minutes could be managed (i.e. each team plays 90 minutes in total), if the rest of the good burghers of the international foot.ie squad are on for it.

As regards a pitch, there is always the Phoenix Park, but as Field rightly said, it is a rather long way away from the real reasons for such matches. I would suggest the pitches in Fairview or in Hampstead / "Albert College" Park by DCU, though neither have changing facilities for our guests. I do think that it would probably involve Corpo permission - does anyone out there have good connections in the Corpo. Better still, does anyone know someone some club with a pitch we can use, ideally for nothing?

Oh, and KT, the only reason you were down with the dog is that you haven't given me a preferred position yet... (sorry, I could think of no way of saying it that wouldn't seem more appropriate in the Totty section :p ) Anyway, I have rectified that failing

Anyone else to join the squad then?

[Drumcondra Red]

The only thing I can thik of for changing facilities is to play on Astro... Hows about Dundalk!!! :P

When the posters on shelsweb play, we use the pitch beside tolka there, where Drumcondra play, Clonturk Park, but you see its also going to be in the middle of the season too, KT can sort it out, being the gaffer and all!!! :D

Sorry, I'm back, i was otherwise occupied.

:eek: Preferred position? Bluebeard, please use the PM funtion for those questions! :D Well, stick me down for somewhere in defence, but I'm only playing if we're really stuck for a player! :o
Ah sure don't worry about the lack of changing facilities, Babysis and I will keep watch over ya all! :D
