there was a five week period of work games last year that had three or four fistfights, and it was awesome in many ways but in terms of enjoying the football not so much. a lot of out better players fucked off out of it and set up another game, i hope they're enjoying screaming at each other and the occasional headbutt whereever they are now RIP big men

tonight: standing straight in front of goal, lovely ball played squarely to my feet and i lean to my left and completely miskick it 'footballs biggest bloopers' style. sheepishly run back to defend and stay there for the duration of the game. we ended up losing by 3 goals.

scored 13/14 goals in one hour of 5s about a month back, everything I touched seemed to hit the net. it was kinda incredible.

A pretty compact execution with my right foot over the keeper's shoulder. Happy that my run was able to do justice to the through-ball and a better finish than it probably needed to be against a pretty awful keeper.
I'm left-footed btw.

got to keep it a tight, sure motion on yr bad foot imo.

All of which smugness should not overshadow the fact that it came amidst a fine team performance, a 7-3 victory including a hat-trick for an aging scotsman and a result that hopefully maybe means my team is no longer bottom of the league.
― Upt0eleven, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
hate competitive games tbh. it's 'not me'.
took a long ball over my shoulder on the left this week, said deft touch switching it non-bouncing to my right for a le tiss faux-cunt into the goalie's near side.
well, ok, the first touch came off my foot but i recovered so's you'd never know and meant the rest.
― Goths in Home & Away in my lifetime (darraghmac), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
"competitive" I can enjoy, tonight being a fine example, but if i'm not having fun - generally when members of my team or theirs are taking it far too seriously - then I struggle to see the point of being there at all.
your goal sounds glorious btw.
― a le tiss faux-cunt (Upt0eleven), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:17 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it was half zamora that time, half le tiss that time, more that norn irish dude that'll never do it again and everyone's wondering 'now, i know he meant that but did he mean that' tbh.
ah yeah, that's the competitive you can always do without- a close game with a good vibe is the perfect setting, two mins to go and it's 19-18 kind of thing
― Goths in Home & Away in my lifetime (darraghmac), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:20 (thirteen years ago) link
to be fair to our opponents this evening, they had to play the whole match with no subs where had three in the second half (and rolled them on and off at will) so i'm fairly sure were exhausted by the end. we also went ahead in the first minute when their 'keeper made a shocking rob green-esque fumble on the line.
in the end we probably should have scored a few more.
― a le tiss faux-cunt (Upt0eleven), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:49 (thirteen years ago) link
you have to take those nights tho, cos sure as anything one of the times you'll be facing some shorter version of dolph lungdren that destroys you with ease. lyfe is balance imo
― Goths in Home & Away in my lifetime (darraghmac), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, experienced one of those the last time I played when another agency spanked us 10-1. I don't think we're under illusions that tonight was any more than a West Ham versus Wigan affair, and I enjoyed every minute.
― a le tiss faux-cunt (Upt0eleven), Thursday, 18 November 2010 00:10 (thirteen years ago) link
last night: ball played at my feet, im 10 foot from goal try power it past the keeper at the near post. rebounds off the post and onto my head. YEAHHH GET IN
― decent skinsmanship (Michael B), Tuesday, 23 November 2010 16:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Scored a couple since then. Last week's was a fine team effort, a product of a series of short first time passes to neutralise their defence followed by a single motion shot to beat the keeper at his near post.
Assisted an almost identical one for a teammate a few minutes later. We still got stuffed 10-4.
― DISPLAY NAMING RIGHTS (Upt0eleven), Tuesday, 8 March 2011 11:15 (thirteen years ago) link
scoring too many to count in these glory days of five games a week good weather, but last night i hit an absolute pearler full on the run across the keeper rising in a straight line into the far top corner, a once-a-year or better strike tbh.
From the right touchline, prob 25 yards or so? I dunno what yr avg 7 a side pitch length is
Off to another game now. As i said, glory days

neither ilxor scored a goal last night in regents park, though both kept clean sheets. think nick actually saved some shots with his hands unlike me, didn't use my hands once in that amateur keeper way

pretty sure i didn't even have a shot on goal, unless you count the fauxver head kick that went upwards and nowhere near the goal.
it was a bit of a one-sided affair with ronan contributing a sterling performance and, unlike myself, an admirable work rate.

"admirable work rate" was more like "shit my close control is horrendous from lack of play, but I think I am fairly physically fit so I can try my best to do something which in my mind can constitute 'breaking up the play' and thus at least feel i've contributed"
had a few wild shots at goal too...
