Ehhhh hey guys any GKs here?
We really need one.

Hi Gordon,

We'll put your friends on the PENDING list first... depending on whether the regulars can make it. I'm trying to limit the team to about 13-14 players so that everybody will have enough playing time.

GAME CANCELLED!

Sorry guys for the bad news. My friend, the organizer from the other team has a member just passed away from a cancer. So their team will be attending the wake to be held at the same time.

Hi guys, in the chance that this session may not take place due to a lack of attendees and/or rain - would you guys be interested in a futsal session instead? Just fill your names in the futsal thread and we'll get a session going.

Chances are much better to organize a futsal game at this time rather than football, especially since it rains a lot nowadays.

Good suggestion - I could check with the other team on this first... we'll follow suit if they agree to it. Not sure how close they are to the deceased coz from my understanding their team is a hodge-podge of last min call-ups :-)

As for the futsal - I've yet to hear any offers from your team. Only from what I read in the media but I want some black & white offers dammit!

Hold it first guys; I actually managed to line up a friendly this weekend with the same team, but need to find out whether it's Saturday or Sunday evening.

Passion, determination, and a lot of luck... hehehe... that's why our team have been on a losing streak lately! Anyway confirmation on the friendly:

Heyyy I remember doggyjames said he could play GK ya.... James where are youuuuuu...

Yayyy... sexcellent!!! Looks like we've a complete team now.
Usual formation is 4-5-1, so depending on your positions, most of us will be taking turns substituting one another. Especially the upfield players! Eg faisal & vampireeffect will take turns playing; and all the midfielders too.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

1. The game starts at 5pm sharp guys, not 4pm. But do come earlier for proper warm-ups so that nobody needs to go back with pulled muscles and such.

2. Opposition will wear blue, so we'll come in RED. Liverpool RED!!!

Hey guys in order to avoid any confusion later this is the starting line-up. I've arranged it based on player positions and the order of confirmation.

Game will be played in 3 periods of 30 mins each. Due to the number of players, there will be 6-8 substitutions in the 2nd period. 3rd period we will make changes after 15 minutes so everybody will have about equal playing time. So play your best and run like hell, coz your total game time will average only about 45 mins.

Gordon: Please take note of the DF, coz I'm officially appointing you as the defensive captain :-) So you decide who plays center, left, right, subs, etc.

STARTING LINE-UP (4-5-1)
1. Jonno 2 (GK)
2. Jonno 3 (DF)
3. gordon (DF)
4. fauxhawk (DF)
5. miketee 4 (DF)
6. miketee 1 (MF)
7. miketee 2 (MF)
8. miketee 3 (MF)
9. zhunzhun (MF)
10. jonno 1 (MF)
11. vampireffect (A)

2ND PERIOD
12. TerryTang81 (MF)
13. boundaries (A)
14. Notoriez (DF)
15. Ponomariov (DF/A)
16. seed84 (DF)

No worries man. We all understand the situation just now. It got a bit physical but that's football! FYI guys, Zhunzhun lashed out at the opposing player who fouled him, and the ref sent both of them into the sin-bin for 5 minutes :-)

The game wasn't pretty for us... we got trashed like 5-1...!!! 2-0 down in the first period where the game was played practically in our own half. 2nd period was the best, as our team pinned them back for long periods of game play. Scored one, conceded one. Third period was so-so and we conceded another 2 goals.

No excuses with this game; they were clearly the better team and outplayed us in all areas of the field.

I actually had a long chat with the keeper at the end of the session; we stayed back for almost an hour I think... it was a good learning experience as he's played for numerous clubs and has a lot of experience.

We spoke about how teams usually play and how coaches employ their tactics and even all the basics which we all lack and was crucially exposed during the game. Eg player positioning - a lot of us didn't know where to run or stand, and the whole team were running around like headless chickens. Wingers always closely with the right/left backs (watch the EPL games, eg Dossena-Riera and Arbeloa-Kuyt). How center-backs must command the line, etc. A whole load of stuff... footballing knowledge that is, that cannot be learned by just banging balls on the field but instead must be taught!

I'm not exactly keen on the $ idea for the simple fact that we have a grand total of 5 committed players... everybody else only appears during friendlies! I think the chances of building a team for MyRAWK is much higher... at least MyRAWK is a proper setup with a committee team that can get things done over a long period of time. Things here are a bit too "loose" if you know what I mean; and I'm doing jacksh1t for the team!

To take your idea just a step further... we can organize our weekly Sat games with players from both parties. That way we can slowly build up the numbers. Players who are in it seriously, or just casually, all are welcome. An "official" squad for friendlies can be selected based on the committed players that show up.

Anyhow there will not be a game this Saturday as there's our LYN-MyRAWK futsal thing going on. We can get started with field games the following week.

Not sure if we'll have enough numbers considering that it's the holidays and all... but worth a try:

No friendlies this Sat, but we can do our own session.
