Anyone play Sunday league on here?

[Lloydystark]

Hahaha. I'm sure we've all had the goalie in a pair of jeans hungover, stands there smoking with a can by the post. Thank god we were good or we would have had to get rid of him. Mind you, he was an unbelievable shot stopper.

We had keeper a few seasons ago who was and probably still is a full on alcoholic. He bring 4 cans of strong bow or an Aldi branded cider to each game and drink 3 before the game (sometimes whilst driving to the game ) then proceed to drink in the bar after then have his last can on the way home. All of this before going home and pretending to be sober to his wife lol apart from the drink driving he was a great laugh And definitely a character in the changing room.

Can you start doing full match reports every week? Your games sound much more exciting than what Everton produce. Though sadly, the results seem the same.

Haha I used to do 1 (mainly a p*ss take out of hungover players and the poor performances)
It’s certainly more entertaining than watching Everton.
Yesterday I had to ref as the ref didn’t show up haha the abuse was non stop until I told there skipper to shut the [Poor language removed] up

Putting his footy boots on to go the pub basically. Real mans man. We are a dying breed.

How did you manage to keep a side together after such a awful run? Generally these days guys quit and show no loyalty after a few losses

Yeah interesting one actually. The whole way through that bad season we were struggling to get a team together, and there was a small danger we'd break up. But at the end of the season we talked about it and all wanted to carry on.

Then the next season a few old players came back, we got a couple of new ones who fitted in perfectly, and then after a couple of wins including knocking the cup holders out of the cup (with their own dodgy ref on their side who was still making up the reason he gave them a pen in the pub after the game ) the team spirit was good and we went from there. Alot of us have played together for 10 years now which helps.

Its the characters I miss. Every team had them.

But my Sunday team had a lad called Jacko. He would play anywhere, and wasnt bad. Once wore a scarf when in goal. Anyrate, he had been a marine, and looked like one. Y'know, lithe, squat, and very very quiet. He hardly spoke a word. Literally, an "aye" to "want a pint Jacko?", and that was that.

Lived with his mum, Pearl, aged 30 plus.

So we were in the pub post match, usual crap, there was a lull in the conversation, and Jacko perked up.

"Starting college next week" Us, in silence. All look at him, literally the first actual conversation he had started.

"What you doing Jacko?" says someone.

"Communication Studies".

Scenes.

We had a lad in our team,"20 minute Del" we called him, would turn up every Sunday still half cut from the night before, for the first twenty minutes he would be absolutely on fire, brilliant,skinning the full back inside and out, then...............nothing,his hangover would kick in,Del was usually hauled off if he made it to half time and could usually be found as green as a gill puking his guts up near the changes lolthose first twenty minutes though, like tricky Trev,Georgie Best,Jimmy Johnstone combinedlollollol

@Dario Terracotta's story has reminded me of something that happened a few seasons back.

We had a cup game against a really good team from a higher division. We turned up and realised we only had 10 players, so were all on phone trying to track down another player. We got hold of someone who was "doing some food shopping with their misses", but promised to get there as soon as he could,.

We decided to try to keep it tight until he turned up..... but by the time he showed we were 40 mins in and 3-0 down.

He then chucked his guts up at half time, and got sent off 5 mins into the second half for abusing the ref.

Haha I always do a few sly tricks like not pump the match balls up or leave the corner flags in the changing room if we’re waiting in any1 and only have 10 just to kill a few more minutes

1-1 draw today. Their goal was pretty much my fault, but I made about 5 or 6 good saves after that to keep us in the game.

 

[Lloydystark]

What a game today!!! I got sent off for tripping there player up on touchline before there bloke wrestled with me on the floor and rabbit punched me 3 times haha both got reds and we went on to win 3-2. Proper dirty scummy side we played against today

We lost 7-0. I saved a penalty and IMO there was sweet FA I could do about any of our goals. We are just a shockingly bad side. Next week is a derby against a side from the same club. We beat them 5-2 earlier in the season but can't see us repeating that. That's going to be my last game. The final two scheduled games are against a side at the top of the table, they've won every game by a huge margin. We will be losing by a double figure margin in each game. I'd rather be in the club rooms drinking beer.

We had a centre forward nicknamed Apple (Alan apple), he phoned our manager on a Wednesday to say he couldn’t play on the following sunday as he had a 24 hour bug...

True story and one he still gets ripped for today

 

[McBain]

One nil to the Dragons. The other team were a dead set bunch of grubs. I got them so riled up first half and kept my mouth shut second.

Worked an absolute treat as they moaned and carried on with some World Class whingeing as the ref turned on them. We grabbed the goal and hung on, first win in 6 and now equal bottom.

 

[Lloydystark]

Lost 4-0 yesterday, easily beaten by a better fitter side, not a lot to report, a ‘new’ player got sent off in 5 mins of coming on for arguing with the ref and flagging him ( I stuck up for the ref and said sorry mate he’s abit of a mong and won’t play again) luckily didn’t send the red in so we ain’t got a £45 fine.

 

[WA Toffee]

Lost 2-1. The other team needed the win to claim the league and have now played 12, won 12. The battle for second place is still on and we have a good chance of claiming it.

You reckon the season is gonna get binned off? Was supposed to have my first league match on Saturday. Currently it’s still scheduled to go ahead but I can’t see the season lasting more than a few weeks at best unfortunately.
