To go slightly off teh current run of the thread into a rather more prosaic world, I have two questions.
1. Is there a ref sorted - I didn't feel one was vital prior to the last fifteen posts, but now.... After all the flair players (also read lazy and refuse to run for the ball) like me will need protection!
2. Who are bringing footballs? We probably need three. I have two, but they aren't up to much and certainly need pumping - which lead to the question, does anyone have a pump?

I am reckoning on all available foot.ie-ers meeting up there at about 15h15, partly in order to get to meet each other, partly in order to see who is there and able for what, but largely as the gaffer will have researched the opposition team heavily by now and will be able to tell us their strengths and weaknesses, and give us an idea of our tactical approach.

No pressure GT;)

I can bring a recent adidas ball in very good shape.

I'm sick today, don't worry I'll be fine in time for the match. i'm going to use my day off to clean my boots.

I can bring a football too and I have a pump aswell!

Note: everytime I refer to myself in these posts I actually mean Caolan, only he's too lazy to either read or post so I do it instead!

Anyway, thats sorted, so next is the Ref.....

Hello all

I posted a little back that Reiteoir and his team were unable to officiate and that I had PM'd a Foot.ie member to see if he could muster a replacement team but I have not heard back from him. So it appears that we still have to get one.

If anyone knows a referee who would be available please post details or PM me and I will arrange to make contact about arrangements.

P.S. We will be playing on Pitch 2 and nets and corner flags will be available for us. It appears that we have (are?) a load of balls ;)
