[garlick]

If you are planning to enter a five-a-side footy team or enter the PF07 games (team of four needed)at PistonFest, can you please respond to this thread with:

Your team name
The names of those in your team
Highlight any team member who has yet to buy a ticket

I'll then draw up the match times and let you all know.

The Mighty Goodfellaz will be entering a team. Not sure of the exact line-up, but it will probably involve

Raj
Mark
Maybe Pete
Me
Possibly Danger Mouse or Venom...


Are we allowed subs?

Although I could be lured into playing for a yorkshire team ahead of this one though

I'm starting to wonder about this tbh.

It's all getting rather serious and I'd rather not get a stupid injury the weekend before me 3 peaks thingamy.

[Robatr0n]

Pfft, if we play someone who takes it too seriously then we can just let them win it.

I'm in it for fun!

Shouldn't this thread be renamed Murderball in the normal tradition of Pistonheads?

This implies that there will be modicum of skill involved in playing?

[garlick]

Ha, no skill expected or needed! No ref's just the two teams on the pitch! There will be Sat afternoon matches with the winning team winning a prize- rest of the time the pitch is open for random kickabouts, cricket whatever....

Murderball is a distinct game all unto it's own, formed and played (if we're not all too drunk/don't get kicked off the car park) at the quarterly "anyexcusetogetdrunkhoon"s.


Any attempt at officialdom, organisation or any pretence of skill or ability immediately renders it non-murderball.

Okay then, who wants to be in a "Northern Types" team?

I am surprised no ladies have suggested a girls team yet.
I wont be suggesting it, I dont even understand 'the offside rule'

The Offside Rule Explained for the Girlies...
You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop
assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you
must have.

The shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with
desire.

Both of you have forgotten your purses.

It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no
money to pay for the shoes.

The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and
sees your dilemma.

She prepares to throw her purse to you.

If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper
and buy the shoes.

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst
it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and
buy the shoes.

Always remembering that until the purse has *actually been thrown* it would
be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.

Absolute belter

I'm going to remember that next time I'm met with a blank look when I shout at the telly "off-bloody-side! Did you see that?"

2 MORE NEEDED, who's with us? Anyone accepted, as long as they have the vision of Pele, the left foot of Giggs, the right foot of Beckham, the speed of Henry and the finishing of van Besten (I think that's it for requirements)

I really don't see the attraction to oik-ball, but aren't I right in thinking that wench number one couldn't move ahead of wench number two until the purse had dones so (as opposed to moving ahead of wench number two at the moment wench number three actually threw the purse).

Anyway, setting that one aside, I love rugby, and watch it at any given opportunity, but can anyone explain the offside rules that apply there in ANY words that make it comprehensible?? At the moment I can't risk trying to persuade Mrs Kermit to go with me in case she accepts and then asks me how the offside rules work!
