dave, don't forget big george h who will be back on defense. that guy's effing hooge! hell, even my missus wants to play a bit of the centerback position (as a sub) ... she's petite, but she's fast as greased lightning and aggressive as a pitbull (stay away michael vick).

i know we're talking about getting there 30 minutes prior to gametime ... perhaps a good 45-60 minutes prior would be best, especially for our inaugural match.

Uhhh, thanks. Have you seen my "fat guy in a little coat" routine?

I'm most comfortable in central defense and will be there on Sat. I'm going out to Chicago for the US-Brazil game, but my flight doesn't leave until 2.

As far as formations go, I'm partial to a 4-4-2 diamond with a holding and attacking midfielder in the center, but we'll see what we have and take it from there.

Are you guys practicing at all during the week? I can't play in CASA obviously but wouldn't mind kicking the ball around with some fellow SoBs.

I want to practice but I dunno about the rest of these bums.

Dills · Sep 3, 2007

the schedule's been released, at least for the first 2 fixtures:

Sept 8, 2007 - 10:15 AM @ Edgley Fields (Field C) vs Phila Falcons

Sept 15, 2007 - 5:00 PM @ Pennypack Park (Field 8) vs FC 1776

dave, i thought we had a bye week on the 15th.

SoB Bolton · Sep 3, 2007

Wow, we're going to be way shorthanded on the 15th...wtf.

N-I-C-H-O · Sep 3, 2007

Who's our backup keeper

..if the team is shorthanded, i'd be more than happy to act as a reserve... I havent been playing very long though.

I'm on it.

OKTerrific · Sep 3, 2007

Ok, there was a misunderstanding between Tom and I.

The bye week is going to be the 22nd because THAT'S the week that the falcons are going to be away. We were always going to be playing on the 15th.

Here are our two options: we can play at 9:20 in the morning on the 15th, or we can play two games on the 29th.

What do you guys think?

N-I-C-H-O · Sep 3, 2007

2 games!

SoB Bolton · Sep 3, 2007

I'd take the 9:20 on the 15th, we wouldn't be tailgating until 3 in Camden anyway...

N-I-C-H-O · Sep 3, 2007

I won't be able to play the 15th if the game is at 9:20...

Fc philly boy 19 · Sep 3, 2007

Hey guys,

I apologize for not being around for any get togethers this w/e but I was in SIC celebrating the holiday. I don't really know anyone on the team so hopefully something can be put together this week and I can introduce myself.

I played in both HS and college at La salle and was a midfielder so hopefully if we're short there, I can help out. the last time I played competitively was at rocket sports in the beginning of the summer but i am in decent shape heading into next weekend. i will follow the board this week and hopefully i can get off of work early enough to make a practice.

I won't be able to play the second half of the second game on the 22nd after suffering a heart attack in the first half

JamesTaylor · Sep 3, 2007

Pending logistics, I might be able to warm the bench on the 29th.

George H · Sep 3, 2007

I won't be able to make the match on the 15th so a doubleheader on the 29th works best for me.

eccseth · Sep 3, 2007

either way does not matter to me.

phillypride · Sep 3, 2007

I can play on the 15th. A double-header seems needlessly brutal. As long as we can field 11 on the 15th, it would be better than having to play two with subs.

We're allowed to have guest players and I'm sure we have enough connections to field a team on the 15th with subs if we want to.

Dills · Sep 3, 2007

if we field less than 7 people, we forfeit the game. if we forfeit the game, we lose our $300 deposit. we currently have 21 (?) active people on our roster. how many people are doing the O&A thing, and what time do those festivities begin? i'll be missing the game on the 22nd, as it's irish weekend in wildwood, so it's good we're having a bye that week. i'd prefer NOT to do a double-header on the 29th. 3 hours of soccer in one day? yikes.

speaking of which, should we have a first aid kit, ice packs, etc??

SoB Bolton · Sep 3, 2007

Well we'd have the game in the morning on the 15th now, so the O&A thing isn't a problem...

fine ... but will we have enough people show up?

OKTerrific · Sep 4, 2007

I can't be there if we play on the 15th, but it looks like we'll have enough people.

celt1997 · Sep 4, 2007

I can definitely play on the 15th. I'm sure we'll be able to field a team. I don't know what is more brutal, though...11 of us playing a full game with no subs on the 15th, or 2 games on the 29th with subs!
