FTYLIST

Sunday 6th April - GAME OFF - Not enough players

Footylist should now tradtionally switch to Tuesday/Thursday evenings at 18:30.

We will have this up and running on Tuesday 15th April, please check back before then if you are interesting in playing.

Location is (as always) the astroturf at Brunau, check the links to the right if you have any questions.

No need for existing Footylist members to re-register, would be nice if those new to the community did.

Goals (7s and 11s), ball, etc will all be available.

Fellas,

Apologies if the attendance towards the end of summer suffered due to the FC Hard project but fear not, we are in discussions with a few parties (one major one which could be very exciting indeed) about a co-operation which should make for a pretty exciting March-October 2008 (possibly even the prospect of winter football in 2008 too!) so stay tuned, stay interested and keep spreading the word, the more interest we have the better placed we are to maintain and build the Footylist community.

Anyone keen to help us take Footylist to the next level (whatever that may be!) contact us on the links to the right.

Colin

PS - The Reds mentioned below are, of course, the mighty Man Utd, just in case anyone was confused by that.

Would there be any interest in a Monday and/or Wednesday game, at the same time/venue as the current Tuesday/Thursday setup?

Thinking that with the FC Hard training it might be worthwhile?

I'd play them all.....

After many attempts and lots of talk we are moving forward with getting a team entered into the Swiss football league.

Latest update and what you need to do to sign up!

Have a read above and please sign up/get on board if you are interested.  Here is the history of how we've gotten to this point and the answers to lots of your questions:

Thread on EF - Cheers - Colin

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. Even Colin scored - but the 21 other players and referee conspired to stop him getting a hat-trick.

Citi sported many changes since our last meeting which did bring the suggestion of "Ringers" (Rory!) and the fact that many of their players were half the age of ours, we imagined we would be in a spot of bother.

In a first half spoiled only by persistent rain and the inept referee, Colin managed to somehow bag two goals. Another was added before half-time - and during that pause, we did discuss how we could forsee an onslaught in the second half.

Citi changed formation to 1-5-4 in the second half (aka "All Out Attack") and for the initial period, it seemed that this approach might pay off - but alas, as they tired, they relied on their defender plus the referee (again) to keep chances to a minimum - so we only scored 5 more.

Notable mentions - Dave D: everywhere he went, the ball went the other way; Colin: two teams so happy to see you not get a hat-trick; Kev - nailing Peter when he was in goal (suppose it saved me doing it ); Brett - 'bout time you got two mates to play linesmen (); Rory - every thought you picked the wrong girlfriend?

List of scorers to come, despite me playing up front and Colin's excellent delivery, I'm not on it.

Thanks must go to Swisslinx who picked up the tab for the pitch cost. It was so expensive as we needed a wide one to cope with Colin's crosses.
