Did you do him? We had a game the othe week,the other team had this youngish lad, looked a bit like Tracey chapman in fact, "oh he's a great player, blah blah blah he was on chelseas cards as a youngster, blah blah f***ing blah" he thought he was the man twists turns step overs the lot, every time he got tackled he was in the players face squaring up, I was wanting a piece of this First 50/50..... We'll be was displeased to say the least! 100% won the ball but it was one of those where the ball just doesn't move and spins in the same spot? And his face hit the turf before his feet did! of course he squared up, tried a sly head butt, but as he's moved forward, I've "pointed" at him and got him right in the eye....... Fun fun fun 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 8,119 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Thought seeing as I'm up I'd go through old threads, had a game Tuesday there, playing against a team that are a bit physical (just how I like it) anyway I started, (and scored btw lol) they had this big boy who went through one of our wingers, wee bit of a tussle I went over told our player to get tae and then sort of grabbed their player told him to get in his own half... He's " like get your hands off me, you don't know who I am " I was like "do you think your robocop, get yersel tae f**k ye trumpet" so refs calmed it down (he's one of those refs who's no got a clue) I see the boy running round the back and next thing he shoulder barges me, I just get the red mist and run after him and boot him lol, next thing he's pushed me i push him, he comes up to me so I just nudge my head forward and catch him on the nose, it's bleeding but hardly if that makes sense? By this time the refs there their captains there, our captain is there, it's all kicking off.... The refs no got a clue what's going on, he asks me what happens, tell him the truth, he winded me off the ball so I give him a wee kick, I thought he was going to hit me, he was taller than me and muscly, (I'm just fat) next thing I've got a yellow card and he's been sent off!! how that works I don't know...this is in the 64th minute, Anyway I get a club fine anyway and I'm not allowed to play tomorrow which suits me as I pulled a muscle between my calf and knee when I kicked the boy, as the manager thinks I'm a bad influence?!? That's how it was when I played 10-12years ago? If I wasn't getting/ been paid, (a small signing on fee) I'd seriously think about jacking it and trying to blag my way into the over 35's leagues which seem my cup of tea... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,786 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 There's some good lads playing vets mate, you would like it.....it's still plenty edgy enough. I was playing vets in England before I moved, no vets here so I have play standard. They quiet like the slightly aggressive style of English play as they are all pretty gentlemanly when they play football here. Keep it up mate, your a long time dead Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will do mate, I'll start a proper thread once we have everything sorted. I didn't think about all the "bits" that make it work, there's more aggro in organising it than doing it I reckon! But in for a penny in for a pound and all that, we have a couple of local businesses that have agreed to give us their next years marketing budget, the plan is to sale advertising space on the boat to raise the big chunk needed.. Got a couple more to tap over the next couple of weeks, then it'll be launched properly with the sponsors and charity on board. My mates uncle owns a smart pub up town offered us the downstairs for a launch night with local papers etc... Then it's just the small matter of learning to row and getting fit!! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
