.....well someone had to post it - we lost 15-4 to the top of the table side and in all honesty we were totally and utterly outclassed, everyone of their players were comfortable on the ball, especially the lad in the Ronaldinho shirt, great skills and movement - no excuses, we lost to a superior team - don't make the defeat easier to take though.....:(
Crikey, unlucky lads.
Hope people don't get too down hearted by it.

I'll use this platform to apologise for my performance tonight. I'm sorry, I was shite. Gave away 2 goals losing the ball in my own half and couldn't get back to track my man when he played a 1-2 with his mate and then scored. I didn't score either which I see as my job. :(
So much for the big speech and me being well up for it. I was, honest but it just didn't happen tonight and I have no excuses I was just plain shite, sorry again.
As has been said we were up against a quality team but we didn't perform to our potentiel. Gutted again. The heads were down in the bar afterwards it has to be said. Booshie and Si looked well fucked off and I have doubts as to whether they will want to play next week. I think they were pissed off people had beers before the match. I'm a bit dissapointed in that myself to be honest. We had that thread earlier this week saying we were going to be well up for it and go from the off but that really isn't the best preperation is it?
Anyway, I know it isn't the fucking Premier league and it is supposed to be a bit of fun but you have to put a bit of proffessionalism into it! May I suggest a ban on beers before the next match please?
A bit of a warm up and a bit of a teamtalk instead? Worth a try!:D

Aye - it was 14-5.....made the score look even worse than it was :eek:
Have to say i had a couple of pints in the afternoon - at 2pm as part of a late lunch but it didn't affect my performance in any way, i'd swear to that, in fact if owt i was even fresher - i was home from work at 3pm and even managed a kip after my tea before the game!!
king billy

Spoke to some of you, but for those who i haven't - i apologise for the fact i had a couple of beers in the afternoon - as booshie said it shows a lack of respect to those who were up for the game all week!! Whilst i too was up for the game and i reiterate the fact i didn't think it had an affect on my game, if nowt else it gives a wrong impression. Sorry!!
There's an apology due by someone else on the team aswell who i know is on about quitting over the same incident - i hope not and he rethinks....

The team wanted to do well after 2 defeats & the build up was to get some belief & confidence into the lads before the game. Its a nailed on fact though that we just came up against a very good side who i reckon will walk the league. They hit us quick & that knocked some stuffing out of the team.Heads were down for a couple of minutes & i know JonnyD looked really demoralised by what was happening & afterwards Boosh & Si were not happy but its gone now so the team has to go on to next weeks game knowing we probably won't come across a team as accomplished as they were. Congrats to SFB on his first goal of the season, i saw it meant a lot to him

Why not have an alcohol ban starting 24 hours leading upto the game? It allows it to get out of your system and if someone breaks the rule maybe they miss a game or two as punishment?

It is mate, but its also demoralising to turn up and get a shoeing week in week out especially when your taking it serious, but you don't feel that someone else isn't (which is what the team felt last night about me and someone else).....i understand how others felt and after speaking to Booshie know that him and Si were close to quitting over it, it might be a bit of fun, but at the end of the day winnings great - loosings shite so if taking stuff a bit more serious makes us win more then its worth taking it seriously - is it not??...

On the other side i see their points and they obviously feel aggrieved, but remember you lads there are people like me who would give a left bollock to be able to play week in week out and wouldn't take it for granted! IMAGINE BEEN REPLACED BY ME OUTFIELD FFS

I think you guys have to decide what this is for you.
It's either
a) a bit of a laugh and the result isn't important, in which case the fact that someone had a drink earlier in the day doesn't really matter, and everybody should get a game regardless of ability
or
b) You're taking it seriously and the main thing is the result, in which case you need to buckle down to it a bit more and look at things you can do to work towards it - alcohol ban for 24 hours before, playing on merit rather than just turning up, possibly extra training sessions on top.
I get the impression that at the moment most want it to be b), but it's being treated like a).
If you want success at it you have to work for it, same as with anything. You need an organisational structure that works towards it - a captain and a manager, training sessions additional to the matches themselves, and tactical meetings to review things.
I'm not saying b) is the way you should go - it's just as valid to say it's a social event and a laugh - but you aren't going to get results unless you are prepared to do the things that provide them.

10-20-2006, 09:46 AM
To be fair BB, its the first and after last night, probably the last time people will have a drink before playing, the other lads made their feelings pretty clear during & after the match. It didn't help that the opponents were a top class outfit who had obviously played a lot together. This exaggerated the poorness of the performance imo
baldbantam
10-20-2006, 09:51 AM
I'm not having a go at anyone for having a drink. I'm talking about the bigger picture of where people want to take it.
End of the day it's not a lot to do with me, and I'm not personally bothered how people approach it. I just think it will make for less conflict all round if you guys decide on what the actual ethos of the team is and act accordingly.

My view from far away is I agree with Bald Bantam that it is up to you guys to choose the way you want to go, A or B. Sounded like the first couple of games were a breeze and the confidence and feel good factor were high. But these last three games have knocked a bit of stuffing out of you. Reading the comments about the first 2 defeats it would seem you lost because you haven't had enough time as a team to gel and practise together. This last game sounded like Chelsea playing Liverpool:p.
I really admire this will, desire and ambition to win, there's nothing wrong with it. However just the fact that the team has come together and actually competing in a league is an achievement worth being proud of.
Sounds like the worst game is out of the way, so now you can concentrate on the direction you'd like to go. Win lose or draw I'll still follow the CBs tup: Even if I have lost 3000 points on you up to now :eek: Good job it's not real cash tup:

I have no doubt the results would benefit from taking a more professional approach to it, if that's how you want to go about it.
You can't practise anything during match conditions, or work on tactics. You need to step back a bit and figure out your gameplan.
Another option is perhaps getting there early or staying a bit later to scout out next weeks opposition. You can't formulate a game plan unless you know what you're coming up against, and as there are loads of different time slots the chances are you would be able to either get there earlier and watch them or stay later.

I was only saying what i could bring to the team, i admit im shite though and not worthy to rpelace anyone! I ALREADY AGREED TO STOP THE PISS TAKES!! DONT TAKE YOUR PRAWNAGE ANGER OUT ON ME!!
The whole thing is blown out IMO, im sure whoever was there played as best they could at that time and who can ask for more?? FFS STOP HAVING A GO AT ME MATT I ALREADY SAID THIS MORNING!!!!
Ok, this is how it was to me.
People were up for this during the week. fine with me.
Whenever i've played football i've always had the attitude that i can beat whoever i play against. That's not to say i don't respect other teams but i have the attitude that my team is better that theirs (even if it's not). Some of the comments on here give me the impression that they didn't believe they could have won. If we go in to a game with the belief that we can win, sometimes it will usually rub off on the pitch.
Matt, you have appologised for you actions to which i thank you. My problem was that i'm putting in my effort and shelling out my money to play and all i expect is that people put in the same effort. If we all put as much effort and possible and we still lose then fair enough. no problems there. If people are turning up having been drinking or turning up not arsed and not up for it then my attitude is fuck off (maybe that sounds a bit harsh but ah well).
Training is not the answer as you need to playing against other teams to gel properly (besides i don't really have the time as play footie quite a few times a week). We will get to know how each other plays and will improve with time.
i bear no grudges against anyone and if i looked pissed off with anyone on the pitch, it was because i was frustrated with what was going on and felt we let ourselves down.
i don't care about individual mistakes. forget them. it happens to us all.
all i would want to see is everybody makes their best effort. if our best effort is not good enough then fine. we can all come off the pitch with our heads held high.
i feel i've ranted on too much and when i read back on this probably won't make sense. i hope i've got my point across.
Anyway, Onwards to next week!!

Other folk obviously had and it affected them more than you,and after all YOU failed to mention his name. I just followed suit cos there's no point in pointing the finger is there?
As I said to Jantjeman trhere is not much point in looking all good and professional but acting like fucking amateurs...look at the other team all in different kit and looking like ragbags...then look at Claret and Banter team looking like Man Utd but playing and acting like Chavs.
You may play for the best turned out team but that aint good enough.
If something is worth doing its worth doing the best you can and if that means training together during the week ect ect then thats how it should be.
Boozing and smoking right before a match is just shoddy Matthew and you know it.
But its acceptable if you lot are just doing it for "a laugh",and if thats so then so be it but it could and should be alot better.
And no I wont air my views on certain subjects for I'm too nice a man to do that.

I originally came on here a few months ago just to try and disagree with everything you and rambo said.
Now theres a reason to come on here properly and post.
Anyway mate, No grudges held. Same for Gaz. We're all mates together. Lets just see a better attitude next week. Forget last night. It's all gone.
Onwards and upwards.

Hi guys If you want a training match against another team, my team Windhill who your playing next week would probably be happy to help out, we have been wanting to do some kind of training like that anyway. Think the pitch is like £40 for an hour so if you pay £20 we pay £20 bring 8 and we bring 8 its only £2.50 each so cheap way to get a full hours practise and have a competative game. Upto you lads but let me know if you would like to do it and what day you would be able to play. This is the first time my team has played together and your right with the deciding if your taking it seriously or not, we had a sit down b4 he league started and said who wanted to take it seriously and who didnt, only 1 player didnt and they have ended up not playing for us. If you dont take it serious you end up winning 1 or 2 games a season and get hammered in the rest, if you take it serious you might suprise yourselves at how well you can do. We also had a lad who turned up a couple of weeks ago and he had come from the pub, he played the first 2 minutes and then we took him off and told him he couldnt go back on cos it wasnt fair on the rest of the team, he'd only had 2 or 3 pints but it effects your energy levels big time. I reckon you shouldnt put all your responsability on the captain aswel, we dont have a captain and i think it has worked out better like that cos we have 8 ppl who take responsability and its made for a great team spirit. We win 2geva and lose 2geva and nobody has blamed anyone else for anything. Let me know about the game lads cos I know my lads would be eager to get summot sorted.
Cheers

What a thread!
I'll write more later but first thing first, I don't want anyone quitting over this. Too much is being made of the drink incident. Matt has apologised for it and I have no doubts we will get the same from the other guy (still not naming names). It is a lesson we have learnt, we pick ourselves up and get on with it.
For what it's worth also, I put it in, I was up for it and I feel I got my personal reward in the goal. I am trying to arrange the open-top bus parade and fireworks in centenary square to celebrate my long-awaited first competitive goal! Get in there!
Training may help, but I still don't think it's a fitness issue, that was mentioned last night. It's the simple things that we are not doing. Shape, marking, discipline, taking the easy option, these are all things that we were lacking last night.
And hey JD, get your head up, man. You don't need to apologise for your performannce - you made one obvious mistake, but name anyone who didn't make a mistake last night. It'll happen.
Anyway, more laters, off to meeting! Even I have to work sometimes!

Bantam Menace made some great points, you need 8 captains out there & a manager can't do anything once the whistle goes apart from sorting subs out. Its a team collective and everybodys in it together. We can cheer you on & give encouragement & if that helps , great. Time to all stand together, win together & lose together as BM says.

I take it you guys agree with what Bill Shankley once said?
wow, thats a lot to read!
Most of it i agree with, although matt played well, as normal, so should perhaps always drink before a gamejawdrop:
No one had a good game, although some had a bad game. But in old football cliches 'one man can't control the game.'
I'm not gunna point and name, if you think you had a bad game you probably did.:eek:
Personally i wasn't happy with my performance, but never am!
I don't think training is the answer, just more matches. As mentioned we are quite a new team, and should:) get better.
No one should be quitting, its up to anyone who had a bad game to show what they're made ofjump:
Substitutions were not very good, i deffo think a manager is needed to sort this out. I don't think 1 off then 2 off worked IMO.
Anyway, this is eating into my Friday afternoon masturbation time, so i'm off:rolleyes:

Come on, you lot are taking this too seriously. Just because some people turned up after having a drink doesn't matter. Look at George Best, he did it every week!
I'm going to pick on KB's comment about having 2 pints at 2pm, cos I can't be arsed reading the rest. But as he states he had 2 pints at 2pm, was home at 3pm and even managed to have a kip before the game. Technically he was still legal to drive a car, so I very much doubt that would have affected his performance.
As for the other person I assume turned up having a drink. Surely other players were available "if" the team were not hapy about the fact of this? If not then surely it would be an idea to have at least 2 players on stand by. As for him quitting, I can't see the point of that. OK the person may have had a drink, but there is no need to quit over it.
People make mistakes, they learn by them
