Title: Re: Futsol Post by: yeo on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:10:47 whats the glorification bit?
Title: Re: Futsol Post by: Batch on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:13:36 But not even that glorified. I don't like the idea of the game stopping for throw ins or whatever you get when the ball goes out (and the clock stopping)..
The Swindon facilities are meant to be good though. Title: Re: Futsol Post by: Fred Elliot on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:13:49 http://www.futsaluk.net/thegame.html
fuck all evidently Title: Re: Futsol Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:14:14 Isn't it indoor football?
You should play some TEF/L&P outdoor 5 a side DRS. The only problem is that the standard is very high, you might struggle. Title: Re: Futsol Post by: Weasel on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:14:46 Isn't it on a smaller pitch, with smaller goals and a flat football?
Doesn't sound very glorified to me. Although at the one in Kembrey Park i think you can watch your goals back on a tv afterwards. Which is better than up the Oasis, granted... Title: Re: Futsol Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:15:56 It's a smaller, heavier ball which is supposed to put more focus on touch & technique.
Title: Re: Futsol Post by: DiV on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:22:09 its football with a flat size 4 that doesnt bounce as far as im aware.
Title: Re: Futsol Post by: Ardiles on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:24:33 The passage below is taken from the Adver when this started up. After reading the bold bit, I damn near spat my tea out, and then reported Mr Rodriguez to the police for his unprovoked, verbal assault on the English language.
It is reported to be the world’s fastest growing indoor sport with more than 30 million players worldwide. In Swindon there is a full-size and training pitch with hi-tech flooring, electronic scoreboard and live video. There is also a cafe and bar and an interactive learning and conference centre. Managing director Frank Rodriguez said: “Futsal is a lifestyle experience catering for multi gender and age groups. Customers can expect a state-of-the-art arena with modern facilities. “The facilities will be used free of charge by local schools and colleges during weekends. It will also offer an interactive learning centre for players, coaches, teams and Futsal development in general.” Title: Re: Futsol Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:24:42 It's a smaller, heavier ball which is supposed to put more focus on touch & technique. Wouldnt a heavier ball be easier to control? In my day it were all laces and dubbin... Title: Re: Futsol Post by: yeo on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 11:34:12 I thought it was gonna be Wheel Chair football..

Not so generous either offering facilities free to schools and colleges at a time when they cannot sell the facilities otherwise and everyone interested is either out watching or playing proper football anyway. Now if they offered free facilities between 5pm and 10pm on weekdays then that would be generous !
