Title: Home nations football !!
Post by: scouse3465 on March 29, 2011, 21:57:46 PM
We did this once before a blonde bash and it was a cracking laugh !
The first game in casino starts at 6 if we could organise it who fancies a little 5 a side game first maybe 3 or 4 ? With only 8 to choose for each team may be tough but that would make it more fun if we have a few players who would basically stand round and try and kick ball !?
Could be a cracking laugh to the start and we could even rope Des for Ireland , tighty for england,  leigh for wales and there bound to be a big issue seller around he bound to be scottish ;)

Ha, I used to play and coach, but that was 6 years and 6 stone ago (and pre-injury).

So why not? The real England have a liability as a holding midfielder.

Would meet there at 2 ready to go for first kick off at half 2. All being well will get enough players for each nation if not may have to have joint team but will see how many we get. England have 4 players confimed so far so all being well we will have enough and hopefully subs because we aint as fit as we used to be lol

If tighty wants to ref sound , or anyone else for that matter. I could do games i aint playing in and i am a qualified ref btw !! But happy for anyone to do it. maybe Des too seen as though he bottled playing ;)
Can hire a ball off the place for a quid or i may just bring a couple up.

England, Wales and Ireland have confirmed have enough people to play (notice i didnt say players lol )
Just scotland struggling but sure if they short could have plastic jocks play for em to make numbers up.

If team can wear any top matching there country be good too.
England = white
scotland = blue
ireland = green
and just for mr owston wales = PINK !!! (red for rest of team )
