DiS v Dragon FT // 11-a-side Football // Sunday 6th October // 2 PM

aboynamedgoo [Edit] [Delete] 95 replies 13:39, 26 September '13

Islington Tennis Centre
Market Road
N7 9PL
www.aquaterra.org/market-road-football-pitches.aspx

Another team we have never played before and know nothing about. They play in the Thai UK Chang Beer League, which must mean they are better drinkers than us (not that difficult). They do have their own website (www.clubwebsite.co.uk/dragonft/257637/Home), if you want to have a sneak preview at player profiles.

As always with international friendlies, we'll have a proper FA referee (this time: the "lovely ref"), so bring your shinpads and practice those throw-ins. And try not to kick our balls over the fence/on the roof/in the garden for a change.

In other news, expect an offcial announcement on the Exeter road trip very soon. The final pieces are put in place at this very moment.

Usual details:
- we play on a full-sized astro-turf pitch
- there are basic changing and toilet facilities
- 5 min walk from Caledonian Road tube station (Piccadilly line)
- arrive at 1:30 PM for warm-up, tactics discussion, pre-match fags, team pictures, etc.
- full 2 x 45 minutes and injury time + 15 min break
- normal FA rules, but with rolling subs
- shirt colour to be confirmed (but most likely red)
- final team will be announced on the Thursday before the game
- 6 pounds per player will be collected on the day
- post-match analysis in the nearby Hemingford Arms pub

You know the drill by now: sign up below if you want to be considered for selection. Applications from specialists (e.g. goalkeepers and centre backs) will be viewed favourably.

===============
FUTURE FIXTURES
===============

Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 October: Exeter away (kick-off t.b.c.)
Sunday 3 November: regular 11-a-side (2 PM)
Saturday 30 November: Brighton away (kick-off t.b.c.)
Sunday 8 December: regular 11-a-side (2 PM)

    • Probably best to sign up for one of the regular 11-a-side matches first,

      rather than an international friendly. Looks like the next one is at the beginning of November.

  • got a bit of speed when I get going

    just very little acceleration after knackering both ankles at Uni and being too lazy to go to the doctors/hospital/physio.

    Don't wear blades on 3G guys. Real bad idea.

    Mostly played 5-a-side for past 4-5 years 11-a-side sounds a bit like hard work.

  • Draw = fair result

    Their equaliser was slightly against the run of play, so in that sense we *should* have won, but they were all over us for the last 10 minutes so we did well to hold the draw in the end.

    Thought Matt and Dave were great at centre-back, and Anthony had a good debut at full back too. Loui(e/s) had a brilliant second half in defensive mid, completely destructive.

    Highlights:
    meths' relieved/sad face after scoring
    the ref not giving any handballs
    the crab not passing to anyone, ever
    hoogy's heart-in-mouth goalline slice
    james jumping up and down shouting and punching the crossbar after said goalline slice

    Good game, lads.

    Royter-Hatfood | 7 Oct '13, 10:55 | X

        It was the sort of expression you might make if you'd just come out of a meeting with your boss where you thought you were going to get fired but you just got a bit of a telling off instead. Sort of 'Phew, glad that's over'.

      Splenic_Artery @Royter-Hatfood | 7 Oct '13, 11:22 | X
  • Decent game. Felt a bit unsatisfied, and thought we shouldve put it to bed before they got the equaliser. But given the pressure we were coming under towards the end, maybe a draw is an ok result.

    Lovely, lovely pass from Chris for my goal. Chris was great all game actually. Ben was always a great outlet and did some great running. James in goal as always was fantastic.

    Not an excuse, but I rolled my ankle in the first half, so couldnt run as fast for the rest of the game. Sorry.

  • Good game, good fun,

    Bit annoyed at myself for overthinking the shot after doing a really good 1-2 with Sam.

    Shame we conceded so near the end, but we had been soon well to keep them out. LJ and GKJames were incredible. Bens work rate is amazing as well, especially when he then told me he'd already played once that day.

    ElthamsmateOwen | 7 Oct '13, 17:23 | X
  • Thanks for treating me gently

    Had good fun albeit the rust of having not played for a while showed in some of my defending. Have to say Dave was excellent at marshaling the defence into line.

    Mattshaped_ | 7 Oct '13, 19:42 | X
  • Well played guys

    Despite the frustration of conceding an equaliser when we were well on top, a draw was a fair reflection of the game overall. Some scrambled clearances and heroic blocks from the defence and James kept us in it.

    I think we played some decent football at times, and even when we had periods of being on the back foot, we still tried to keep the ball on the floor, passing it around the midfield and finding gaps to send the front 3 through. Sometimes it didn't work and there were individual errors, but I'd rather lose the ball trying to play properly, you know? Anyway, well done all, was an enjoyable game.

    Matt impressed on debut and almost goes without saying that we relied on James. Ben was really useful as ever, great to have him back in the team. Nice goals from the Smee bros.

    Enjoyed how rubbish (for the most part) the Crab was. Didn't enjoy how high-pitched he was.

    My first experience of the Lovely Ref - found him to be as advertised.

    • More waffle:

      Louis was superb. Welcome back, L-dogg.

      We were really dangerous from corners, which was pleasing but somewhat unexpected. Joe scored from a Will floater, and I should have buried a brilliant delivery from Ben. More of that in future, please.

      waffle @waffle | 7 Oct '13, 20:23 | X
      • I should have scored a second from another Will corner

        There was literally no-one on the far side of the penalty spot apart from me, Will delivered it to me perfectly but I was at a running stretch and scuffed the shot.

        Smee @waffle | 8 Oct '13, 10:55 | X
        • We took some great corners and had some great chances from them

          so it's fitting that the only one we scored from was a terrible miskick :D

          Royter-Hatfood @Smee | 8 Oct '13, 12:59 | X
  • Enjoyed that!

    Thought we largely did well. Dan was always an option to pass to & the forward players did a lot of intelligent running. Defensively we more or less held our shape against some tricky forward play & Dave did very well indeed, aberration for 1st goal aside. James was enormous as usual. A good match-up and a deserved result; we should play them again.
