18/03/09 Allstars Match

Our director of football (Smiley) down at the Allstars Superdome has not been informed of the KO time yet. As it's Monday night I think we need a show of hands regardless.

I'm available subject to a lift.

I'm in.

 

KO is usually confirmed on a Tuesday afternoon.

But I'll call them shortly.

I thought KO always progressed by 45 minutes each week. Maybe I'm wrong.

7.30pm KO vs Gymnastique

That's 7 + Andy if AWO brings him.

IMO 8 is too many - think we all agree on that.

 

What do you all reckon?

 

Miami is injured.

Doing the maths.....

 

Think I'm right in saying.....

 

40 minutes x 4 outfield players = 160 playable minutes

 

8 PLAYERS = 3 SUBS

If we have 7 outfield players available = 22.86 minutes

Or, 4 players get 25 minutes, 3 players get 20 minutes

 

7 PLAYERS = 2 SUBS

If we have 6 outfield players available = 26.66 minutes

Or, 2 players get 30 minutes, 4 players get 25 minutes

 

6 PLAYERS = 1 SUB

If we have 5 outfield players available = 32 minutes

Or, 3 players get 30 minutes, 2 players get 35 minutes

 

In the first instance, getting 20 minute run-out (only half the match) is hardly worth getting changed for.

But on the other hand, fresh legs every 5 minutes is often the only way* to beat the younger teams who turn up with only 5 players and get tired during second half.

 

*There is another way but it involves hurting people and stuff.

3 subs is to much,

7 is the Magic number.

Who's timing these 26.66 minute spells?

I agree. It upsets the balance when half the tean can change every 5 mins. But if we have 3 subs we've got 3 subs and everyone deserves a game.

Says you who is either ( A ) in goal and playing all 40 minutes; or ( B ) never takes his turn to come off the pitch

You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

 

Anyone else who wants to do 40mins in goal can have the gloves :roll:

Strange that. I thought of you as I wrote it! :pardon:

Also strange is that nobody has done a write-up on last night's game. 10-5 up at half time and coasting. End result: 12-12.

 

talk about taking your foot off the pedal!](*,)

Think it was 13-13.

It was all my fault though.

My half time team talk of - "let's have a scoring competition" - kinda backfired.

We went 11-5 up and we're playing like Brazil. Then it went t1ts up.

Last 2 goals were shockers. Even then, I thought we still had 5 minutes to resurrect it.

 

Gutted.

"You're just like Alan Brazil!"

Looks like you need some extra quality on the park bud :roll:

Some of the best football we've ever played last night. Although we all played our part for letting the opposition crawl their way back in to the game the way the last two goals came about was absolutely scandalous. Name and shame bwfcRyan & DannyG :pardon:
