I'm not bad, I think.
I'm pretty average at everything. Apart from cricket, which I am officially brilliant at.
Game One: Bowling 4-0-34-2; batting 13.
Game Two: Bowling 4-1-11-1; batting 10.
Game 2 bowling
good work soldier. Roll on thursday!
in my younger days
I was compared to Maradona and more recently Darren Huckerby.
improving then!
I had a Mickey Quinn
phase between those two but I don't really like to talk about it
I was once
but then I stopped playing. I once Cruyff turned some sucker so bad he fell over.
:D
i played for chelsea's youth team
ps
it was overseen by celebrity paedophile graham rix
I was rubbish as a teen
I'm a bit better now- after going to watch games I've learned a lot more about positional play and stuff.
I've got pace to burn, but no physical presence.
I was alright
slow as fuck but I had a good 'footballing brain' a la Teddy Sheringham. I did a lot of goalhanging, basically.
only in the sweeper/libero role.
yes
annual request for a DiS football match
Are we actually going to do that this summer or what?
Is everyone around the day after Field Day?
people listen to you
just pretend it's the next zonino or something.
^ this
I have the mind for it
but probably not aginle enough. I have the stamina now that I didn't have when I was a kid.
I like a good tackle though.
I'm alright
my ball control skills are pretty good (sorry), but I haven't been able to run for shit since I started smoking
I was 'The White Andy Cole'
in Junior School - post Newcastle, so pretty turd.
absolutely chuffing awful
the ball never goes in the direction expected when kicked and the harder i try to kick it the less it goes.
thanks for reading
^this
i am OK
very unfit, and guilty of dawdling in front of goal. But i can pass short and long to a decent level, tackle pretty well and can foul for England. i am also perfectly 2 footed, however, this can easily be construed as useless with either...
*both.
i am better at football then i am writing coherent sentences
:D
That doesn't say a lot.
I used to be half decent in goal
Played a few games at reserve team level for Non League sides and a number of trial games at pro clubs when I was 17. Out on pitch I can pick a pass but be left standing in a sprint with Jan Molby.
Bamos' cricket stats up there ^ reminded me of my one and only over of bowling for the school team.
1-0-14-0
Our teacher made me feel much better at the end of their innings by telling us that if I'd bowled all 20 overs we'd need 281 to win rather than 114.
My worst ever figures
were
0.4-0-22-0
I'll always thank that captain for allowing the best player in the league to hit with the spin to the shortest boundary in the district with 20 to win. Fucked my average right up.
Reasonable goal keeper
mainly due to being
a) very tall
and
b) good at shouting meaningless phrases of annoyance at the defenders in front of me.
I'm ok
I had *trials when I was younger.
*Football and Criminal
Yes
I can play Winger or Up Front, and i m left footed. I used to play in goals as i m pretty good but dont really like playing in goals.
Yes
I like to think so anyway!
Yes
I'd like to think so
22 goals in 25 games for the past two seasons says I'm certainly decent for the level I'm playing at, anyway. No physical presence whatsoever though, and pretty woeful in the air unless I'm unchallenged. Can't tackle for shit either.
I'm playing in the BSM 5-a-side at the weekend, so I'm sure some people who post on here will be able to judge for themselves.
yes, although not as good as i used to be
I used to be a bit like that guy from the mighty ducks 2 who was all pace (mendoza?)
I could do the 100 metres in 11.24 seconds when I was 15 so I just had balls nocked over the top and I scored many goals
if a DiS kickaround ever happens
shotgun not marking Bagelheart. I think my best time for 100m was 15 seconds. Back in the day i'd have put one on a nippy bugger, but in a friendly environment i am not sure that'd be on...
my best time
was 11 dead dead :D
I have to say we were quite the formidable duo
back in the day for Reckitt. Senior House Football 2004 Championes!
Ah yes, heady days
I now play upfront however. Not entirely sure how that happened, but it seems to have worked out in the footballing hotbed of St Andrews.
I'm OK
playing tonight. I used to be good, I won the 'Redditch footballer of the year award' for U16s when I was 11 (fair few kids), but then i went to a high school where they played almost every other sport except football. Carried on for my club but slowly got worse and eventually quit.
Now play once a week (tonight in fact), and occasionally twice or more.
I didn't touch a ball for 20 years.
I've only just learned the most basic ball control. :(
i was phenomenal
but then smoking & drugs became more important.
then i started playing again 2 years ago (after 15 yrs of not playing); getting back in shape was a BITCH. now i have two busted acl's..... stupid knees.
i'm shite at it
i'm good at curling though
I used to be pretty good
I still have decent touch but I can't run more than 10 yards without needing to stop for breath :(
Top end of most of my friends
but I know that I'm not really.
^This
Though I did play with a guy who's played for oldham at high school and he wasn't much better than me.
Though I also played at uni with a guy who got dropped crewe youth. God that reinforced how average I actually am.
The worst thing about Conference football
is that you know that the worst player in the worst team in the Blue Square Premier was the best in his school by miles.
25 senior players * 114 teams = 2850 in Prem to BSP.
That's about 1 in 10,000 men in the country or 1 in 2000 of the men aged 18-35. Pro players are probably the best in their school's all time history.
yes
but i haven't played for a couple of months so i'll probably be really sloppy next time i try.
i'm alright at football
Yes.
I am very good.
I am the closest Sutton Coldfield has ever produced to Johan Cruijff
im a bit good these days but i used to be actual good
i used to play on the school team in primary school. i was one of 2 girls. but i looked like a boy so no one even noticed me rly.
Apparently
I play like Kanchelskis, but you know, not as good. Awesome.
I did 11 keepy-uppies today
and breaking my previous record in the prcess. The last time i attempted sustaning a ball at altitude i managed to complete 5.
I conclude my coordination with both lower limbs has improved since i set record when i was 10.
Minus 'and' *process
i thought i had conquered this :(
oh fuck it
i've spotted a load more. I shouldn't get overexcited when i spot an interesting thread.
i used to at school, i was on the team.
i was alright, i suppose. now i'm not as good.
I make Titus Bramblol look like Franco Baresi.
It's quite an acheivement.
i think i'm half decent
whenever I'm playing with friends in the park, but as soon as I come up against someone vaguely skilful I realise I'm actually pretty crap. I'm definitely more of a cricketer.
I do have good memories of my performance in the DiS vs Rest Of The World football game in the mudbath at Truck Nine though :D
I'm pretty rubbish.
I'm an unthreatening winger or a shakey right back.
I try hard but then I run out of steam. I think I should play up front.
