@HTT II I hope you get yourself feeling fit ASAP and though it wouldn't be the same without you and you'll be missed, your health is obviously absolutely paramount!

 

If it's any consolation there's nowt for anyone to retain cos the teams WILL be getting a shake-up! 

 

The vote currently is for three teams so that's what we'll be going with assuming nowt changes there (six 15-minute matches is what I'm picturing, with everyone playing each other twice, but open to alternatives). 

Thanks mate and aye the teams badly needed shaken up, Cats Piss will still be available even if I have to get an Uber to get him there ha ha. 

[Yorkie]

Spot on. 

[TaylorJ_01]

Yeah hope you feel better soon HTT, you've had a really rough time of it lately. For avoidance of doubt, I certainly wasn't taking the piss

We're a month away from this now so we need to get 'er booked. It would be useful to get a clear idea of numbers so I've tagged everyone who indicated some availability for the 30th, either in this or the previous thread, or directly to me over WhatsApp. Apologies if I've missed you off. 

 

Please either like this post, do a vote above, or just say so regards your definitive availability for the 30th (unforseen change of circumstances before then notwithstanding!) Colin I know you've already confirmed so cheers for that. 

 

Anyone who hasn't yet indicated but fancies it, you are of course welcome. 

 

Admins/mods, just gonna sticky for a couple of days if that's areet so we can get sorted. 

2 pitches 4 teams and a league, or 11s even? 

[Yorkie]

We don't have the pitch for 11s so I haven't included it as an option.

[Yorkie]

Two pitches means two matches being played concurrently, obviously. But we'll do a two hour slot so plenty of time for breaks.

Just seen you chaps have done votes on this poll. Are you wanting to play and if so are you okay for the 30th?

 

Also realised I missed @Stifler off the last bunch of tags. 

 

So this is what Russia feels like.

30mins games. Everyone plays everyone once and 10min break in between?

Yes I think this checks out. 

 

[Slim]

How you picking the teams? Can i request me and Mandoon are on the same team.

Fine with me but is he definitely playing? @ManDoon

 

My suggestion for picking teams would be to:

 

A, accommodate any specific requests within reason (as per the above!);

B, objectively pull out the best players among us and keep them separate*;

C, pull out any goalkeeper volunteers and keep them separate;

D, draw the rest. 

 

 

*@LFEE and I could work on this bit if he's up for it and no one hates the idea.

No idea sorry

Are you even playing after your WhatsApp message?

[Slim]

Currently yeah and will try my best to make it work.  Just depends how bad the situation gets.

[Froggy]

Why would you want to be on the same team as your mate? Opposite sides surely so you can crunch them.

[Yorkie]

We're at a whopping 24 definites atm (though I appreciate circumstances can change, and that is fine), and still waiting on confirmation from a fat handful of others as well. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Wow, massive. 

[LFEE]

24 you say? Welcome to the Clique… (insert the Mick McCarthy gif)

I know lockdown has been hard, but this is unnecessary… I am trying to shift it.

[LFEE]

Just something to ponder @Yorkie

 

More than 2 teams need more than 2 GK’s. Never been an issue previously as usually have 2 willing GK’s. Not sure if we have 3 or 4. Might be worth asking the question.

[Wullie]

I'm good to play.
