Thursday numbers still good but starting to get the old habits in which is pissing me off. Started 12 mins late tonight. 2 lads ten mins late then faffing around with their boots and gloves.

Another lad confirms 5 hours before ko he is playing then doesn't show.

Conceded a goal early on, while I'm marking and trying to help organise (not that anyone listens) I'm left one on two while three lads are standing having a chat

Few mins later I'm Again left marking two while some fella changes his bib (about 6 times tonight someone went off to change their bib and remove a layer)

Then one lad on my team of course who won't pass 5 yards to you, instead stands there flicking it to himself before trying to nutmeg someone ten times better than him, gives it away and stands there

Shite game

Anyone looking for a game at the moment?

We've struggled for numbers a bit for our five-a-side either side of the festive season - we play at 18:30 on Thursdays in South Liverpool.

Could be tempted when I've recovered, might be a while away yet though, so no good for an immediate fix!

I literally just came on here to post if there's any games going in South Liverpool. What kind of standard/age group you talking mate?

Completely mixed bag to be honest - we range from a couple of really good players, though some grafters, to me basically Mostly mid 30s I'd say, as an average, though I'm a terrible judge of that and I rather assumed organisational responsibility rather than already knowing everyone!

You just looking on your own or got a couple of mates who've lost a game or something?

Just on my own looking to do something that isn't just going the gym or running.

35 now, I used to play 5 a side 2/3 times a week until about 5/6 years ago when I had kids and stopped having the time. Thursday nights are usually pretty good for me and I'm Allerton/Garston so anywhere South end is easy for me to get to.

Will send you a message.

Give me a shout again as & when, just in case I don't drop in here at the right time!

Any togger going on in Liverpool that needs a player?

Still looking, Andy?

I am mate but not on the road as of yet (should be in the next couple of weeks though) and I am in Kirkby so would need to drive.

Will let you know soon as I'm on the road because I am definitely game.

I couldn't work out where to put this question so left it in here.

I have a question for those actively playing football in amateur leagues.

I referee local youth games and have on occasion reffed university level.

Listening to 606 they had pieces this weekend about referees and how much abuse they get and how it is hard to get people to do it. One ref said he tells coaches to tell some parents to leave, but they just come back.

What happens when players abuse refs in the UK leagues ?. My local organizations and leagues are incredibly strict. Red cards get standard 2 games bans or whatever but any genuine abuse of a ref will get players banned for the rest of the season or for 12 months. Also refs are told if problems parents don't leave then just walk off and abandon the game.

The one question that was never asked on 606 was how do the leagues enforce abuse of the refs. If a ref files a report to the league what action can get taken on players or parents .

Thanks.

Be Interested to know myself

Have heard some bad stories, mate of mine in work is a coach, said he witnessed a referee walking off close to tears one game the abuse was so bad

could go on but ill leave you with one from an old friend of mine, he said one match he sent off a teams captain, whole team surrounded him pushing and shoving him. He sent the entire team off!

His son is one of my best friends, he always told that story, finally got full sp of his dad one night, told me he reported them to the league and the team were kicked out of the league

Just giving this a bump, in case anyone's looking for a game - we're still struggling a bit (including for today!), though we get it over the line most weeks!

Back playing again tonight after the summer break. My son played too. I’m now 53 and he’s nearly 22. He takes it easy on us, he came straight from his own training and my game is auld lads so it’s like a warm down for him but a pleasure for me.

I'm sure he loves it too. I moved a couple of hours up the road from my parents a whole thirteen years ago now, but had spells of regular five-a-side with my dad's group around 2006-10, and remember feeling like it meant a lot

[paulrazor]

Been doing a lot of running lately so skipped football

did 10k yesterday but then got convinced to play 8 a side last night

played really well despite the earlier training, ended the night with 31000 steps and 6000 calories burned

I am 40, at least 2 stone overweight and I put some young fellas to shame, lads there in their 20s who barely break sweat

[paulrazor]

Christ. Played 8 a side tonight. Lost 3-1. Very low amount of goals


Honestly we should have scored at least 20

Their keeper had the most unreal game I've ever seen. Brought off what must have been 30 great saves. He was even applauded off

I would love to play football again, or I think I would love to, it's probably just ego talking. I did play some charity games in my early 40s but fella's just can't be trusted not to get too competitive. I would love the movement and the ball skills, just don't think I am interested in the contact.
