Unavailable - in Germany.

I'm in.

In.

The rate my knees are taking to recover I should be just about ok. I'm really considering packing it in after this season dont know if it was the forthbank masisve heavy park but i aint felt this bad in years after a game, Have really struggled at work this week and i do need to consider my long term mobility. wont rush into anything but thought i would give fair warning, whatever, i would still be involved in some way even if it's fetching beers!!

I'm out for this.

...Which is unfortunate, as I would rather like to get a few more hefty (yet fair, of course!) challenges in on these fellas. I'll trust Neil will have his knees (and masculinity) back in time to oblige?..

We need ya big guy.

For skill and to keep the average age up.

I should be available for this one, I'm at a mates wedding the previous day though so will probably be rough as. Although I hadnt been out last sat and was fucking shite the next day so suppose it doesnt matter anymore.

That pitch is roten for hurting the next day, not sure why.

I agree. The mrs basically had to boot me out of bed on Monday morning, cos there was no way I was getting up unassisted.

Stop taking every chance you get to remind us you actually have a mrs.

Out, in Aviemore all weekend. Apologies

Unless I get injured in the next 10 days, I'm available again.

What's up with you? Your 14 year old dump you aye?

School holidays.

i feel the blades are too long and the ground too spongy which may be a factor , grass is not only good for my knees but it also gives you a stoner too

peace

14 and a hawf, I'll have you know (or 19 for truth and legal purposes).
.. and there's no fear of her dumping me.
.....aaaand just wheesht in general or i'll be forced to use the "I've practically had your bird" line. Fair enough her twin sister is technically not the same but there's no tellin who I was thinkin about at the time.




What sense does that even make? Surely I'd be seein more of her if that applied?.. .. down the playpark most likely.. Lol.

Most parents tend to take family holidays at the start(or at least during) the school holidays.

now now children

would you numptys like a friendly match with an elite league side ?? i've got a free saturday on the 26th August that i need to fill home or away

with you each day

Dealth me in. I think I might be playing the day before too so not sure what my physical condition will be - will confirm nearer the time.

Budgie (the other ringer last Sunday), also said he'd be up for playing again if he was wanted.

Get him involved. He was good too. Good link-up play. I hear he's a goal-getter though.

Maybe - Might be working that day, told my boss that ideally he should allow me the day off or at a push get me working the early shift.

Was a goal getter, WAS. I distinctly said "when he played for the same boys club as me".

Bit unlucky with that one that hit the post mind. Budgie is always up for a game of football, he'd likely be available most weeks. And he drives, which is a bonus obviously.

Edit: Spoke to Budgie there, he says he'd be up for playing with us during the summer if we wanted him. Would give us more options up front, no offence to Tom but when Dubs and Gogo aren't available we are kind of one dimensional up top. What do people think?

He's also available for the 20th.

Definately get him involved. Good bloke to have upfront in a 4-4-2.
Get him in somewhere and Jonny Reid back, yer man Ravin' Kev, slot Gogo in and we've got a team.
That sounds alright actually.

Just to confirm (for about the 3rd time) Budgie is definitely in. He's scored his share of goals for Bilbino last season and has was playing out wide for the most part.

Nice one mate, consider yourselves both in the squad

Im most probably out for this one

I'm un-available for this one.

I'm back, but I'm working 7-4. However, there's a strong chance I could get out early. I need to get back to work and assess the situation.

I'll let you know on Wednesday whether I'm in or not.

iam in

There's a strong possibility I'm out for this one, Our 2nd team skippers away on holiday and I'm his stand in, the game was meant to be on Saturday but I've just had an email that says it may now be saturday.

David W text me earlier saying he's playing. I'll take the car from Glasgow (presume the game is in Edinburgh?) and he's requested a lift, so I have 3 spaces left for those requiring.

Looking increasingly likely that I'm going to be working. My boss is trying to move things about to get me an early shift but I have my doubts. Think the earliest I can get out is 3, which pretty much screws me over unless I get a taxi for the final 15 minutes or so!

Game confirmed with 12.30 Kickoff at saughton enclosure on pitch 3G. Apparently we played them there last year, I don't know directions etc, hopefully Codfish will display his expertise in this department

Pitch is 3G rubber crumb, btw.

we played them in Dalkeith last year, i'm no expert on the east but i'm sure saughton is nowhere near Dalkeith

incidentlly i'm fcuked I will get stripped and do the warm up but it's not looking good and i dont just mean this game

Here's a link to the Saughton Sports Centre:

http://www.edinburghleisure.co.uk/detail-171

There's a link to a map on there as well.

I'm not looking good for this one either - had a niggling foot injury for the last few months and it's getting progressively worse.

I'll be there and stripped, but I'm not fit to start.

We've never played at Saughton before. I'll have a look into it though and get advice from my Edinburgh-based travel planner before posting further information.

And i'll be rough as the preverbial badgers anus.

I've forked out cash for a kilt n that and i'm going to get my moneys worth. 8some reels, dashing white sergeants, gay gordon (flower)s. The lot.

You gonna stand up straight?

I am out then.

Good Luck on Sunday guys!

I am now 100%





































OUT

I've got a couple of guys coming along to play. A centre-midfield and a centre-back; both played with Athletic Bilbino regularly last season.

EDIT: We'll all be coming off the back of a 2 day bender - might not be at the peak of our form.

Cool, thanks mate. Should at least mean we have a team! I'll try and get another couple so we have cover for the crocks.

We've padded out the squad to get enough numbers, which should also hopefully cover our crocked players.

I reckon this topic should be Boroughmuir v Athletic Bilbino

A perfect example of the flaws in this league!

I didn't think there was a Bilbino anymore?

To be honest I'm embarassed that we're looking at a squad that only has 8 out of 19 of our squad (not including Robin), and 2 of them aren't really fit to play.

It's a problem with the league yeah, but I think it's more our problem - we've had to cancel a friendly next week for lack of numbers. It's hard to get a fairly casual team to be available all the time, especially during holiday season (another problem with the league!).

we could have of course cancelled the game alltogether leaving Boro out of pocket and the ref well fcuk him he shouldn't get paid till we are satisfied with his performance
