5-a-Side Football - Surrey Area

[Sir_Dave]

With regards to team selection, having organised the original 5-a-side (& now the league with Mike), i would suggest that CS regulars have a priority for selection.

However, if & when they are unavailable/cant be bothered to turn up, the subsequent order should be as follows:

1. CS Regulars
2. Normal Regulars
3. CS Randoms
4. Normal Randoms

We should however impose a 'no-pay, no-play' ruling though; its fine to cover monies for regular's/CS members who will pay eventually (ie, Tom ), but for me and/or other CS members to regularly bankroll other players is not on.

Currently availablility:

1. budgie - both games
2. Sir_dave - both games
3. Vish - both games
4. NickAsboCup - both games

5. Bigman - both games
6. hallam - both games
7. mark - both games

Thanks
Dave

 

[Budgie]

Agreed, although I would class Bigman as a CS regular now..

This week, we've got a potential squad of 12, in theory. Being that we're playing two games, we can in theory play two different sides for the second game, depending on who's still got legs after the first one, lol.

 

[Tom@JMS]

Boys I think I've damaged some small bones in my right foot, can't really walk atm

 

[Budgie]

Dropped your gay card again?

Get well soon, princess.

Nick, Keeps?

 

[Ollie82.]

Clare is in hospital for an operation on her arm tomorrow. Obviously i'll be with her.....she can't really drive herself.

So chances are i'll be unavailable for tomo night but i'll let you know if that changes.
I know i'll have missed two in 3 weeks but this WILL NOT be a regular occurence....before you start bleating!

 

[BigMan]

Not to worry Ollie, sure we can all make puns of how you are giving Clare a hand tomorrow. I hope the operation goes well for her and that she will be better very soon. Take it easy and don't forget the flowers for Clare

 

[Sir_Dave]

Agreed, although I would class Bigman as a CS regular now..

Agreed, apologies for the typo Bigman!!

2. Sir_dave - both games
3. Vish - both games
4. NickAsboCup - both games
5. Bigman - both games

6. hallam - both games

Clare is in hospital for an operation on her arm tomorrow. Blah blah blah, under the thumb, blah, blah ....

Pulborough haz no Taxis?



Hope she's ok though obviously!!

I may be able to persuade Sarah's bro Rich to come up & play if we are desperate, which it looks like we will be ...

 

[Vish]

We should have Ryan too. Messy available?

Hope Clare's op isn't serious Ollie.

 

[Tom@JMS]

Mess is abroad till Wednesday

 

[BigMan]

We should have Ryan too. Messy available?

I know Messy is away in Milan.

Anyone heard from Ryan?

 

[Ollie82.]

Pulborough haz no Taxis?

Pulborough indeed haz taxis.....but hell hath no fury compared to that of an abandoned one armed woman.

And im not that much of a heartless bar-steward to leave alone on the day of her op.

Thanks Vish....nothing too serious. An operation to the tendons in her wrist.
Although she may say its life threatening......she may not be able to use her hair straighteners for a good week.

 

[Vish]

Oh that's not too bad then. Hope it goes well. My first thought was this...

Mess is abroad till Wednesday

Damn.

I assume not being able to walk means not being able to hobble about infront of a goal either for you

I know Messy is away in Milan.

Anyone heard from Ryan?

I've just text him. Will see what he says.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Dropped your gay card again?

Get well soon, princess.

Nick, Keeps?

I can play Keeps if Toms out, however in up in Leeds at RsTuning tomoz all day with Tom so hopefully we can get back in time.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Oh. feck.

My dad & little sister are coming up for Wimbledon tomorrow, shall i get them to bring their kit as well lol ... might need them as subs

 

[BigMan]

This is Budge on Bigman's account:

Looks like we're a bit short. Invite Joe along again, just in case? Is Rich coming, Dave?

 

[Vish]

Ryan's in for tomorrow too.

Just seen the first game is the league leaders and the second is the one against the lot who we lost 6-0 to a couple weeks ago. We're going to have one hell of an evening!

Meet at 7 at the park?

 

[BigMan]

Meet at 7 at the park?

sounds like a plan to me!!

 

[Russy B]

I'm unavailable for the next 2 weeks, think of it as a 3 match suspension!!!

Good luck for tomorrow, we ARE getting somewhere as a team though.

 

[couzens]

maybe get the boosh to play?

 

[Budgie]

maybe get the boosh to play?

Just PM'd him and Saner..

I'll be down just before 8pm. Probably meet you guys at the school.

 

[Sir_Dave]

I'll be at the school just before 8 as im meeting my dad & sister for dinner.

League Leaders & people we've lost to before, & we have half a team.

Great lol.

 

[Budgie]

I'm going to call Joe in, just for the sake of it.

With only 8 players so far, we need all the help we can get!

Anyone got anyone else they can bring?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Im trying to persuade Rich (Sarah's bro), but to drive 80 miles for a game of footy is asking a lot ... well £15 a fuel to be precise ...

 

[Budgie]

PMSL.

Well, If he does come down, I'm sure we can chip in for his football, and a pint after!

Don't forget boys, it's 2 games tonight, so two lots of match fees. £6 each, f**kers.

 

[BigMan]

Don't forget boys, it's 2 games tonight, so two lots of match fees. £6 each, f**kers.

I best get to the cash till!

 

[Budgie]

I also suggest everyone brings a chocolate bar or something for the break.

I know I'm going to need sugar!

 

[Ollie82.]

Ominously quiet today....how bad was it?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Ominously quiet today....how bad was it?

Well, we lost, but we were the best we've been so far. Did incredibly well against the league leaders, including scoring our 1st goal!! Thanks to Rich (Sarah's bro) mind you ...

An overview:

Goalie
Nick was great, a few awesome saves, but somehow ended up with his trousers around his ankles at one point. Worryingly, Mike was nearby, grinning.

Defence
Pretty rock solid in general, apart from when certain, non-CS members forget that they are left back, not striker, leaving a ruddy great big gap in the defence that even my 'powerz' cannot fill :nono: Other than that, Ryan/Mike/Hallam/myself are working well together.

Midfield/Attack
The main problem we have is that not enough people are playing regularly meaning that the midfield/attack arent gelling together yet - as every week the players are different lol. Rich, Hallam & Carl (Bigman's cousin) were linking well, but quite often after a break, they are left up front by themselves, with no-one to pass to. Had quite a few shots last night though, some epic saves from the opposition keeper.

The Referee
Didnt notice any of my bullying, well except once (a slide, on astro), which is always useful.

So yeah, it was a great night. No game next week though, so practice is required instead!!

 

[couzens]

that second game we were amazong there goals were toatally against the run of play, im liking playing defence too, but as dave said, mark needs to sort it out wen covering me at LB

 

[Tom@JMS]

Sounds good chaps

 

[Ollie82.]

Well im not going to be missing again anytime soon so i'll be there if needed.

So are we going to have an epic training sesh next week instead? Can we invade the neighbouring pitch where we play as it will be useful to get some practice on the surface we play on and in the goals we play in.

 

[BigMan]

that second game we were amazong there goals were toatally against the run of play, im liking playing defence too, but as dave said, mark needs to sort it out wen covering me at LB

See I have a good idea now and again. Ryan, once you got the rythm you were well adapted and I consider you to be on top form last night.

I must say everyone played well, a really great performance and without meaning to sound biased I feel most goals we conceded were unlucky and totally against the run of play. Of course this is Football.

The big problem was our other left back/midfielder or where ever he bloody wondered off too. I did have a chat with Mark about this straying business that fustrated the living Jesus out of me yesterday. I hope the message would have been drummed in now.

On another note Carl asked me to say he appreciated the run out. If ever we are stuck and he was back from Uni, he be happy to fill in. Also I think a thanks is in order to Rich who travelled 80 miles to come and play plus enduring Dave's wonderful company

Ollie, I agree with your idea of asking if we could use the other pitch next week. I know Mike receives a call from them on a weekly basis, I am sure he can mention it and ask. I would not see why they should object?

Come on FailSport...

 

[couzens]

wen we say training its actualy gota be training lol not just a little game

 

[Ollie82.]

wen we say training its actualy gota be training lol not just a little game

This. Just look how disciplined we can be though. Before the famous 0-0 draw we were properly training, not just firing shots at the goal (although practice in this area is needed as well ).

 

[Budgie]

Much better attacking play this week, but in all honesty, we did miss Tom in goal.

As much as Nick and I filled in reasonably well (for Nick, at least), we need spaghetti legs Lewis back!

Also, I had a shocking game at CB. Shocking.

Overall, a much better play. Just need to learn to go forward and defend at the same time, lol.

 

[Budgie]

Who's in for tomorrow then?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Me, although Saner might need us to help out with the saxo before hand ....

 

[Tom@JMS]

I'm there -my foot isn't 100% but it'll be rite

[BigMan]

Only a training tomorrow. We are not fixtured to have a game tomorrow, unless this has changed?

I would suggest if we cannot get on the pitches that we just go to the park just near the Harvester. Plenty of parking and very open. I know that Ryan was discussing using the method of Fartlek training. According to Wikipedia they have given the following example.

Warm up: easy running for 5 to 10 minutes.
Steady, hard speed for 1.5–2.5 km; like a long repetition.
Recovery: rapid walking for about 5 minutes.
Start of speed work: easy running interspersed with sprints of about 50–60 m, repeated until a little tired.
Easy running with three or four "quick steps" now and then (simulating suddenly speeding up to avoid being overtaken by another runner).
Full speed uphill for 175–200 m.
Fast pace for 1 minute.
The whole routine is then repeated until the total time prescribed on the training schedule has elapsed.


Who is up for doing this for the first part and then having a kick about to try and unwind for the second, and enjoy the beautiful game

Of course suggestions are what we need and variety is the spice of life. So post up your ideas and I be happy to try and organise a training programme if everyone is happy for me to do so?
