I'll come along if in Watford on whatever day you choose, but I likely won't be I'm afraid.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 10 May 2012 12:20 (eleven years ago) link
i likely won't be myself, tbh. watford/london trips tend to be shopping dominated affairs

i played football (and tbh exercised in general) for the first time in over ten years last night. haven't tried to drag myself out of bed yet today, i suspect my legs won't be able to take it. don't think i SCORED A GOAL actually, amidst goalkeeping incompetence it seemed that i was the only person having shots saved. that rvp-style volley from a long ball falling over my head would've been a cracker too.

Any ilfers who fancy joining my weekly game (Ken, I'm looking at you esp) in Regent's Park on Monday nights are more than welcome.
As Ronan can attest to the standard, a guaranteed way of increasing your post rate on this thread.

filling my boots with long range volleys, half volleys and turn-and-hits this past few weeks, joined a new game in dublin and am surprised and pleased to have been marked out as a player to watch each week. What age was kevin philips when he made it?

Black Irish is an ambiguous term used mainly outside of Ireland.[citation needed]

john giles is black irish imo, succeeds on his wits and skulduggery, finding his antithesis in the lowland british game lads with their sense of fair play, protestant work ethic and self-righteousness

99.8%!
A new book investigating the myth of Atlantis says that the mythical land was actually the island of Ireland.The claim is made by geologist Ulf Erlingsson in his book 'Atlantis from a Geographer’s Perspective: Mapping the Fairy Land', who is to visit Ireland on August 11 to 13.In his book Erlingsson bases his evidence on Plato's desription of Atlantis which, according to Erlinsson, matches Ireland perfectly. Statistically, the scientist claims, the probability is over 99.98% that Plato was describing Ireland.

Playin three games a week. Gets tougher and tougher and you get lung fitter and leg heavier until about six weeks in, when you finally lose some fuckin weight and the body bows to mastery of the new schedule and normalises.

Scored my first goal in weeks yesterday. Defence totally failed to deal with a hopeful punt in my general direction. Managed to flick it through the keeper's legs with the outisde of my boot like a boss
