Maybe…
Hell yes. Taken a sabbatical from my league team and could do with some playing time. I’m about 4 months out but when fit I run. A lot.
Well, this week we’ve had Lou’s fire thread, now Bletch is arranging some footie; all we need now is someone to organise some greyhound racing on the beach.
Excellent, ant.
Maybe excellent, Raleighboy.
ant, can I just check the you read the bit about there being a football match, and didn’t just skip straight to the part about beer?
Raleighboy, why so coy? What are the factors that will make you a yes or a no?
Unfortunately I am unfit, overweight, with fucked knees and an agressive on the field personna that involved multiple sendings off - think ‘Benson’ physique crossed with the ‘Whacko’s’ attitude… so the fact I live 450miles North is probably a good thing?
(Sorry Bletch, is this timewasting?)
He’s not sure if his 80’s shorts are appropriate, or if this involve will ridicule or even a pasting - Here he is ready for his last match
No problem, Gay: Bletch can do your fetching and carrying; you can do fancy flicks and headers.
I’m in.
But when you play one or two games a week you’re not sure whether you’ll be walking at any given time.
And those shorts are way too long, I favour the 1980 ones that physically hurt the genitals - it gives you an edge that only pain can do.
That’s right Halo, I am Deschamps’ water carrier to Gay’s Cantona brilliance.
The only bit that delineates you from me there is the 450 miles north.
I play 11-a-side on a Monday night and my knees, through the medium of pain, are making it clear that I need to run less.
That, and the fact that they now bend backwards like a flamingo’s…
If this old and knackered frame is indeed a welcome participant, then I suggest you aquire a mannekin and dress it appropriately and stick it in midfield… given my mobility in this area, I suggest that any difference between this and the real me, will be of little significance or consequence. However, it may become evident that it is indeed only a ‘fake’ when back in the pub.
Excellent.
I’ll share more details once I’ve got them.
As I said the standard will be pretty mixed so if you’re walking you’ll likely be flying down the ‘wing’ in relation to the ‘defenders’.
Funny that Bletch because I picture you more Terry Hurlock.
Zimmerframe footie. This could be quite a spectacle!
Can we live stream it?!
Shane???

Well played, sir. Nah - I can’t think of anywhere in Eastleigh that serves decent beer anyway.

6m32s to 8m57s in this:
The boys are back in the barracks!
Even now I think I could still pace myself to play 90 minutes…not football though.
Last time I played…against advice (the missus) I had to play the last hour with a groin strain. Yes I had to…after saying I wasn’t too old there was no way I was going to leave the field clutching my nether regions.
