7-0? That's going it some in an 8 minute game! Barely time to kick off  Yes, thing is there were a couple more chances too! How did your lad do? |

They gave a good account of themselves in a didn't win a game or score kind of way Mainly playing against sides from higher divisions, played quite well, never that likely to get out of a decent group. But they all enjoyed it which is the main thing (as you tend to say when you've not won) Day was slightly overshadowed as my eldest's mate was playing "on loan" for Highworth and we stayed to watch their semi, in which he was injured (hamstring, apparently). Particularly irking as it happened during a passage of play in which the game should have been stopped as someone decided it would be a good idea to start lining up the under 10s medal winners on the corner of the pitch! In the ensuing farrago, the players were unable to get to the ball to clear it, Shaw picked it up and scored and Joe's mate is now likely to be out for several weeks injured. But the ref saw nothing wrong  |

Glad Joe enjoyed it. Sounds like bad luck for the loan lad. Good use of the word farrago!
Oh yeah. Something that annoys me. Football tournaments with hundreds of people being serviced by a Town End kiosk with one person and a kettle (literally)
Chippenham sixes tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah it was (bad luck, not a good use of farrago), could have happened anywhere obviously, just annoying that it happened in the middle of a bit of unnecessary confusion that could have been avoided by a bit of common sense. And some actual refereeing. Chippenham sixes tomorrow afternoon.
I think you'll pass wiggy on the way out as you go in |

I'm hungover too, but I quite enjoy it as long as I don't have to do anything.

Is chippenham still the biggie, alongside the one at Wanbrough? I used to love 5-a-side season (less running) |

This has been the first weekend in a long time that I've not got drunk at the weekend for no reason, and it feels very, very wrong. |

Not sure to be honest. In the U7 it seemed to attract a few from Swindon and also teams from Westbury, Bath and Yate. Lads team won all their matches. He's getting a bit bored being a goalie as he again didn't have a save to make, second tournament this has happened. As a keeper he'd be better off in a weaker team! Still think he'll grow out of it eventually (being a goalie). |

As a goalie, his best bet of getting out of it is failing to grow into it |

True, but he was dead keen so what can you do.
It may be too late. He already has some goalie traits:
- Silly in the head: The other day the opposition got the ball and I look to see where he's positioned and he's doing press ups.
- He constantly tries to creep towards the opposition goal at corners.
- Always wants to play up front in training.
He's not mastered shouting at his defenders yet, but he's only young.

For me, 5-a-sides were always the best part of playing kids football.
Chippenham's one near the old Hygrade site was the big one but Bradford-on-Avon had a decent competition.
Our Warminster Boys one was poor as it was based in Chitterne with shit pitches. Good times.

He may well be a goner then. My lad played in goal for his first season and a half or so despite being the smallest kid on the team (and I think in his year) mainly because he was daft enough to hurl himself at the feet of onrushing strikers and grab the ball from under them, usually skittling not only the player with the ball but his mate running alongside him shouting "pass!" who'd promptly trip over the first one. He'd then run to the edge of the area and hoof the ball to the halfway line, leaving a crumpled heap of opposition attackers still trying to disentangle themselves on the floor in the middle of his box. Stopped working when he got to U8s and they started to get good enough to go round him. But he's still got no bloody sense - a trait his various managers interpret as "determination" or "courage", even though I keep telling them he's just a bit of an idiot |
