1. Sid
2. gor
3. Ru
4. Stuart
5. YcMing
6. YegaDoyai

lol 8-)

For the rest of you... I was banned from playing in the ED CS:S league for a month. Our clan tag is now "pause.username <3 sid always+4eva" and our team is "in loving memory of Sid" :D Good times.

YcMing

1st December 2006, 20:19

we got 5 already, there at least 30 - 40 people that goes to lan, surely finding 5 more won't be hard !!! it will fun everyone, must put your name down !!!!! And i don't think skills would be matter? come everyone play for fun!!!

Sid

surely finding 5 more won't be hard

You'd be surprised. Generally, LAN participants are unfit, anti-social nerds. It's a shame the stereotype is really quite true.

Where are all the boys that play football? :(

I'm not anti-social, but I make up for it by being very unfit.

I'm 90% certain Goose (Stu Healey) will play. He loves fives. I also love fives but not in the winter, sorry.

YcMing

2nd December 2006, 13:04

hmmmm ...... if we get in the stevei's building or book the kelvin hall through the gym, it will cheap + it will be indoor ? would that attract more people ???

I think is around £6 pounds an hour or something ~~~~

GingerPrinz

2nd December 2006, 15:31

apparently caley uni's pitch is cheap as chips. good too.

YcMing

2nd December 2006, 16:13

well i don't really care where i play , as long as we can get 10 people all together :), what do people prefer , indoor or outdoor ?????

Well in this kinda wheather i would pick indoor :) , but if everyone else wants to play outdoor is also fine by me ^^

Sid

2nd December 2006, 16:19

gor

2nd December 2006, 16:29

I generally prefer outdoor but if we can't get 10 unless it's indoor then indoor is fine with me.

outdoor for the half time cigarette?

I'd prefer indoor in these winter months.

Sid

2nd December 2006, 16:48

outdoor for the half time cigarette?

I overheat playing football indoors, and I wasn't going to mention the half-time cigarette factor, but yeah...

YcMing

2nd December 2006, 18:17

well as i said, outdoor / indoor, i would play in either :) , i just thought might attract more people if it is indoor, obviously not the case ^^

YcMing

2nd December 2006, 22:41

and u do half time in a 5 aside game :O ... do u like take 15 mins break and stuff ^^?

Sid

2nd December 2006, 23:27

and u do half time in a 5 aside game :O ... do u like take 15 mins break and stuff ^^?

Nah, generally not.

3rd December 2006, 16:19

and u do half time in a 5 aside game :O ... do u like take 15 mins break and stuff ^^?

Oh Mcming, "fifteen minutes with you, ohhh, i wouldnt say no. some said that you were easily led, and they were half right"

YcMing

3rd December 2006, 22:28

lol ru :O, if there is anything you want just ask ... don't be shy , i take you abit like xander ?? When u doing your next gammy run ??

shall we keep this on topic, and me and ru shall discuss further in pm on msn ~~ (can't wait >.<).

Come on who else is playing?

goose

5th December 2006, 17:01

Ill deffinately play.

I play fives semi regularly (yes im a fat guy, yes im VERY unfit... but yes I am also half brasilian) and we play up at the town-head pits. These are fives pitches that you pay to play on.

Except on saturday, and its always empty. The only problem as I type this at 3.53 is that its getting a dark pretty quickly, so I think we would be looking at starting at 11'ish on a saturday.

Also, Dave - you NEVER play fives anymore - dont try the old "not in the winter months banter" because

a) you dont play in the summer
b) the summer can be cold too

ive got just one word for you, and the rest of you naysayers who dont want to play....

caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaan

yeah?

caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Sid

5th December 2006, 17:13

Nice one. 3 places remaining now. GingerPrinz: do you think you'll play or what about if it's indoors?

Oh also, what about the Glasgow Uni Garscube Complex? Anyone an SRS member? Know how much a pitch is? Actually, they might be 11-a-side pitches, I'm not sure. I'll give them an e-mail.

How much are the Townhead pitches. There's the Glasgow Green ones too and the ones at Scotstoun, if need be.

Strings

5th December 2006, 19:07

I'll play!

YcMing

6th December 2006, 00:12

Garscube Complex is 11 aside , but they usually split it in 3 to turn in to 6/7 aside ~~~~ , is quite big for 5s if u ask me..

GingerPrinz

6th December 2006, 16:53

Me = in my place

But I'm getting fit-ish again so who knows. I can't commit to a fives game right now, way too much on, sorry.

6th December 2006, 22:07

(yes im a fat guy, yes im VERY unfit... but yes I am also half brasilian)

You punchin the meat now?

GingerPrinz

7th December 2006, 00:36

Dude he punches the meat like 5 times a day :roll:

7th December 2006, 01:05

aaaadrrriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!

YcMing

9th December 2006, 15:08

right any news on this ????

Sid

9th December 2006, 15:27

Well, we've just got 8 names so far - still need another 2. If we can get 2 quickly then we could think about doing this before Christmas. Failing that, I think we'll need to think about doing this in January.

Larry? Sideshow? Pixie? Phizz? Strings? Jan? Anyone?
Does no one like football or something?

If there's no one else from the club then I could try to get a few non-club folk, but I'd rather not.

YcMing

9th December 2006, 22:14

right, i understand we have lack of people, but where are we going to play ??

14th March 2007, 00:50

k, just going to post in here, to bring peoples attention back to this!

so far i know that at least the following are up for it

ru
larry
sid
gor
ycming
ray
peter

Strings

14th March 2007, 01:42

and me.

Sid

14th March 2007, 01:45

Muppet, Healey and Mitchell and that's 10 - I don't think Larry wanted to play.

YcMing

14th March 2007, 09:38

Righto :), seems like we may have got the ball rolling :).

Now indoor or out door ? out door iin garscube , is 6 or 7 aside, indoor kelvin hall is 5 aside. I'll got no idea how to book garcube (is that what's it called :P)?

Is sunday a good day to play , or any other time you would prefer ??

I think is around £6 an hour to book kelvin hall through the gym.

the list is:

ru
string
sid
gor
ycming
ray
peter
Muppet
Mitchell
Healey

Sideshow

14th March 2007, 10:47

There are 5-aside pitches a few blocks NE of strathclyde Uni. Mitchell and Healey know where

Stakhanov

14th March 2007, 15:34

I'm interested in playing if there's any space. The free pitches north of the Uni are called Townhead Pits (I think). We used to play there a lot. Easy to find.

GingerPrinz

14th March 2007, 16:24

Yeah but they're only free on Saturday afternoons, and are otherwise pretty busy. To be honest I don't think I'm gonna be able to do this, I might make the odd game but couldn't commit to a weekly or fortnightly event.

Sid

14th March 2007, 16:25

I think it was just gonna be a one-off, Dave.

14th March 2007, 17:13

no! it could be regular if its decent. these two fools Chris and Mark are in too

GingerPrinz

14th March 2007, 18:14

Lol ok, a one off I am so deffo up for.

Chesire Cat

14th March 2007, 19:32

count me in.

Sid

14th March 2007, 20:00

Cool, looks like we'll have more than enough folk. Someone wanna phone round a few of the places and book us in. Next Saturday maybe?

If we have more than 10 people we can just have rotating subs every 5 minutes or even just play 6-a-side etc.

Chesire Cat

14th March 2007, 21:50

if its next saturday then i can't come... :( will be in croatia. any furutre ones will definitely come

YcMing

15th March 2007, 00:07

As i said, i only know how to book kelvin hall, from the Gym, may be some one can find out how to book garscube or any other place?

If you guys fancy indoor, i can get it done for Saturday ( if there i slots), but i did see alot of complaining last time and either is fine by me.

GingerPrinz

15th March 2007, 04:05

If you're talkin 17th I will be in the pub from 11am for St Paddys.

YcMing

15th March 2007, 10:53

I think he ment the next saturday (24-03-2007)and this one coming (17-03).

Sid

15th March 2007, 16:56

Saturday 24th March - can someone go ahead and book this please.

I don't really care where we play; just want a game of football! :D

YcMing

15th March 2007, 20:41

From my experience, i think it will be before 1 pm , is that ok yeah ???

Sid

15th March 2007, 20:55

I can play any night of the week but I can't play on Sunday at all - work every Sunday.

If we can't get Saturday I'd say go for Thursday 22nd evening.
