hi wes,

adam will post the time and address on saturday.

please tune in.

keong

Evening chaps. Missed tonights scrimmage. Anyway I'm new to down and enjoy the occasional foolish run in the heat chasing a little ball around for reasons that elude me, but I like to fit in.

It's been a while since I played at all, and I never played much. However, given I have a rotund beer gut and sweat juicing a pineapple I should imagine I am pretty awesome. I'll probably make a good rotation and I'm not that much of an arsehol_e.

Keen for Sunday the 13th if there's a slot.

Cheers,

wes

Cheers Keong.

As was said, we'll look forward to seeing you on Sunday, Wes.

Ok, with the confirmation of Tom and Brian (maybe +1), we have our minimum of 10 (counting Angus, who wanted the minimum 10 confirmed b4 making the trip from Pattaya).

Let's hope the "maybe"s, Simon P. and Keefy, plus any others that haven't yet replied, will bolster it to the optimum 12 or more.

But, yes, IT'S ON!

8pm – 9.30pm, this evening.

-Josh [confirmed]

-Fi [confirmed]

Ok, we're still a bit short for Wednesday evening (8pm-9.30pm) - need a minimum of 10 and we've got 8/9 atm...

Can we get some confirmations either way by Wed. afternoon from Rob, Tom, Brian, Simon P., Pompui, please?

And what about Chris A. & Chris B.?

-Adam (damaja) [confirmed]

Great game on Sunday!

Pretty much ideal, with very evenly matched sides and some really good football.

It was competitive while still fair and clean, with everyone giving 100%.

Subs (and goal-keeping duty for our side) was easier with only 2 extra;

but still good to see lots of fair rotation and no friction at all, as far as I could see.

Compliments to all there!

Ok, let's get the list rolling for Wednesday evening's footy now - I'll start off with a re-hash of last week's list, with a couple of additions:

Roll call for Wednesday evening (8pm-9.30pm)...?

-Adam (damaja)

-Josh

-Anthony

-Rob

-Tom (?)

-Emanuel (?)

-Keefy (?)

-Simon P. (?)

-Brian (?)

-Dazspur (?)

-Kelvin (?)

-Angus (?)

-Dom (?)

-Pompui (?)

Any more takers? Or confirmations/cancellations?

Hi Guys,

I would like to join in with your footie games. I am a little worried about my level of fitness as it been years since I kicked ball but if I don't start I will never start. So let me know if Sunday or Wednesday is the day for beginners.

Cheers

PomPui

Come along Sunday mate.

We welcome all and we're pretty mixed (up?) anyway.

Then it's up to you whether it suits you.

No time like the present!

Ok, 'tis done!

New time for Sunday: ** 5.30pm - 7.30pm **

So, here's the usual quick reminder/confirmation for this Sunday's footy...

When: Sunday 6th March

Time: ** 5.30pm - 7.30pm **

at: Arsenal Soccer School, <http://www.arsenalth...AddressMap.aspx>

17/1 Soi Pridi Banomyong 21, Sukhumvit 71 Rd., Phrakhanong, Bangkok 10110

Telephone: 02-711-1221

Google maps link with directions from Prakhanong BTS: http://bit.ly/bqhnTR <http://bit.ly/bqhnTR>

Cost: 1500 bht /hr (200 - 300 bht each)

Cheers, & see u Sunday.

hi adam,

i was wondering man u plays pool on sunday at 8.30pm, so is it possible for us to play slightly earlier, maybe 5pm to 7pm or 5.30pm to 7.30pm?

keong

Very reasonable suggestion lpk, cheers!

will try to book a 5.30pm slot...

[unless anyone's dead against it?]

stay tuned for update...

Ok, I'm afraid it looks like won't have enough for tonight guys

With several responding that they're unavailable (and I myself have reason to be so also, though I'd usually try to prioritise the footy),

the list is down to 8 and several of those unconfirmed:

-Adam (damaja)

-Josh

-Anthony

-Fi

-Tom

-Rob (?)

-Dom (?)

-Dazspur (?)

Unavailable:

-Kelvin (?)

-Keefy

-Simon P.

-Emanuel

-Angus (?)

Sorry.

Roll call for Wednesday evening (8pm-9.30pm)...?

As far as I know we can expect most that were at last Wednesday's (with the exception of Dredi and Kaj who've left now) plus Dazspur:

-Adam (damaja)

-Josh

-Anthony

-Emanuel

-Tom

-Keefy

-Rob

-Simon P.

-Dazspur (?)

-Kelvin (?)

-Angus (?)

-Dom (?)

Any more takers? Or confirmations/cancellations?

Have a couple of English lads that would like to join in if that is okay. Rooney like guys...only in the looks department

No worries, bring them along. Shrek-a-likes or not

The pitch is astroturf. It's better with proper astro trainers or boots, but it's pretty short length, so it's manageable in running trainers.

Guys, big news this week is the time we play on Sunday is now

*6pm-8pm*

It's in anticipation of the impending hot season, plus the sun coming through onto the pitch is becoming a major irritation.

So, I hope the new later time will be okay with everyone.

Also, I've created a Facebook page, in the hope that even the iPhone and Blackberry users will find it convenient enough to use rather than emails for responses & conversations etc., here:

http://www.facebook....55370049?v=wall

Any of the regulars that join it I'll make Admin status so you can post pics/vids/links whatever.

Not sure if I should make a Facebook 'Group' also/instead, any advice as to which would be best is appreciated.

For a while I'll post reminders on all 3 (ThaiVisa, Facebook & Email), but hoping pretty soon one will prove popular enough that I can narrow it down again to just 1.

Ok, so, the usual reminder/confirmation:

When: Sunday 27th February

Time: ** 6pm - 8pm **

at: Arsenal Soccer School, 17/1 Soi Pridi Banomyong 21, Sukhumvit 71 Rd., Phrakhanong, Bangkok 10110

Telephone: 02-711-1221

Google maps link with directions from Prakhanong BTS: http://bit.ly/bqhnTR

Cost: 1500 bht /hr (200 - 300 bht each)

As always, it'd be good if you get a chance to post a reply here on the ThaiVisa forum or the new Facebook page whether u can/can't make it:

Cheers, & see u Sunday.

A.

Ok, how about this:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bangkok-Footy-Giants-SoccerFutbol/180087055370049

Not sure if this is the best thing to set up (or a 'group', or an actual 'user' page), but can see how it goes...

Hope we got enough for tonite, im comin down for sure thou. About the communication I would prefer a facebook page, find it way more efficient and user friendly than haggling thru email...but I guess that requires

all of us are fb users....

I agree - get tons of emails already and could do without dozens more.

Plus I believe it's easier for everyone to see status at their convenience rather than me tracking email threads and sumarising etc.

This is why I started with the forum thread, along with the very important fact that potential new players find us through searching the internet and getting results that link back to here.

No way that would happen if we just communicate by email alone.

Anyway, I'm setting up a FB page now... just hope *everyone* will use that

Ok, after getting emails, the list for tonight is now:

-Adam (damaja)

-Josh

-Anthony

-Kelvin

-Emanuel

-Tom

-Keefy

-Rob

-Simon P.

-Angus (?)

-Dredi (?)

-Guiy (?)

-Dom (?)

So, let's give it a go!

Ok, last Wednesday was a pretty low turnout of 8, so this week, unless we can get definite confirmations of 12 I'll cancel.

So, extras called for please...

I'm assuming all that came last week will be on for it again (with the exception of Dave -Marui- who's already confirmed he can't):

-Adam (damaja)

-Josh

-Anthony

-Emanuel

-Tom

-Chris A.

-Dom (?)

So, assuming all those 7 are confirmed, we need at least another 5 please...?

Hi all, I was looking for some football.. because my gf says im getting fat.. and lazy... im not sure if you guys can use a lazy , smoking, with a belly guy on the field.. but i sure like to play as i think its good exercise and fun as well... im not really good, but if i am welcome, please let me know all info i need... and does it contain training as well as i see like 200-300 thb each per hour ? so there is a coach as well? looking forward to any usefull reply

ps. im 30 yo, dutch, like i said.. lazy lol, like soccer and live near on nut. not sure what the ages for this is.. only 60+ yo? anyhow, would still be fun, social and healthy

sorry, just noticed the THB is needed for getting to play on the field...

I was wondering if this is a once per week thing, or also like 2 or 3 times per week? The more the better.

Perhaps I can invite a friend with me as well.

Another question. What is the level of the people playing ? I mean, I am not even an amateur, still worth to join ? Or will I never touch the ball, lol

Hi Hansje,

Sure, you are welcome to come and play, as is anyone. It's for fun, and the age and skill/experience of the players is mixed, so it's up to you.

We have players that are fit and some that are not so fit (myself for one), and some are in their early 20s while some are 40+.

We don't train or do any coaching as we are not a team competing in any competitions, we just play a game.

We try to make sure that the playing time is spread evenly for everyone that comes and the fee is simply the cost of hiring the pitch split equally by the number of people that play.

We are now playing 2 times a week, on Sunday afternoon and also on Wednesday evening.

Come and play, then you can see for yourself if it's what you want.

-Adam.

Yep....
