Was like an equaliser thing to stop scores racking up keeping someone in net forever, and forced you to take shots that could only be saved but not caught. We did this too, I forgot to include it on my list of rules. Keeper would immediately throw it up for an easy header for someone but risked the new keeper just catching it and them immediately returning to being in nets.

lxsln Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I'm looking at what Soccer Camps are available during the summer for my 13-year-old son. I'm looking at England, Germany*, Italy*, Spain* and Portugal* that don't cost a lot. If you look at the big clubs' camps, it's €3-4,000 for a week without travel. Does anyone have any tips on camps that are good and under €1,000 for 5-7 days. I suspect you're paying a lot just because the camp is called City, Bayern and Benfica. *English speaking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 2 hours ago, joeyt said: Proposition to bring back heads and volleys instead of fucking padel Would love to bring back the keepy-ups game we used to play (called "Elims") Players stand in a circle, ball is thrown to someone to start. You can have as many touches as you like, once the ball has touched three different players it's "away" or "live". Everyone has three lives. If the ball hits the ground the last player to touch it loses a life, unless someone blatantly dodges taking a touch when they could have done in which case they lose the life. The ball bouncing off walls, curbs, lamp-posts, cars or anything other than the actual floor means it's still live. Anyone who runs out of lives stands outside the circle, if they can play an errant ball back into the circle and it gets three touches from different players they're back in on 1 life again. This continues til you have 3 players left at which point people can't get back in again and it goes to a final two for a winner. Hopefully my explanation has done it justice as it was class if you played in an enclosed area with plenty things for the ball to bounce off of.

Maybe the Sweeney game I'm thinking of, was a game against West Ham, late on in the season. I definitely took part in a sit down protest in the Gallowgate! Was just thinking about that match yesterday in a discussion about Brown Ale. Its synonymous with the smell for me, the brewery nearby, the denizens, the Gallowgate bogs - walking up the steps all carried on a lovely warm pinkening spring evening about to be completely ruined by the football. It was about my tenth game and at the back of the sparsely populated Gallowgate right next to people setting fires to scarfs and shirts chanting "die United, die United" I remember Sweeney being ripped to shreds by Jimmy Carter for Millwall in the 90/91 season. Was in the paddock close to it - put you off being a footballer being on the recieving end of that. Was the worst one on one mauling I'd seen until Ginola v Cox.

ramirez Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 The amount of gutters smashed on garages round ours was insane, at one point we used the crates from 'the factories' to make a very dodgy dugout on our main field, and even corner flags for the purposes of Uwe Rosler and Roger Milla style antics., Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
