Although I would love to see this match-up, I don’t think I’m fast enough to keep up with myself.
In light of the fact that almost none of the Reds can make it tonight, I’m taking the night off as well. If you’re from another squad in the club and reading this, we have the space reserved from 830-10, so if you have numbers, please use it.
Gee Gonzo, just when you decide to turn over a new leaf . . .

I’m trying to reserve a place for a Reds squad in the MetroSoccer Winter League at Pier 40. Please let me know if you can commit to playing 8-a-side one night a week this winter (no 11-a-side until summer) and paying up front. Also, let me know if I can put your name, cellphone and email down as a second contact for the squad.
Cheers,
Charlie

TEL AVIV (Reuters) – An Israeli entrepreneur has decided the time has come for football fans to show they know better than the coaching professionals.
Diehard football fan Moshe Hogeg was so upset when star striker Lionel Messi was left off Argentina’s side for a World Cup match against Germany last year that he teamed up with an online gaming company to buy a club where fans decide over the Internet who will play and in what position.
“Millions of fans around the world wanted to see Messi in the starting 11 but one man thought otherwise and destroyed all our dreams when they lost,” the 26-year-old Hogeg said. “So we decided to do something about it.”
Hogeg’s company, Web2Sport, and its main backers, online backgammon Web site Play65.com, paid $500,000 (244,000 pounds) for the rights to a small Tel Aviv outfit, Hapoel Kiryat Shalom, of Israel’s third amateur division.
Internet fans can use the team’s Web site, www.web2sport.com which is predominantly in Hebrew, to vote on the starting line-up and to give instructions to the coach.
“Most of our surfers like the idea that they can decide what the team will do: who will be in the first 11, what formation they will play and who will be the substitutes,” Hogeg said.
The Internet fans can drag players they think should play into their preferred positions on a pitch diagram by a deadline. The information is then collated and the players who get the most votes will line up for the next match.

Hi guys
No game this weekend as it’s cup weekend and we were knocked out. Efforts to bring forward a league game have been unsuccessful as has efforts to get a scrimmage with another team. Fields are still an issue and no-one has confirmed availability for a field for us to have our own scrimmage, but stay tuned. Loads of footy on the box on sunday so perhaps a good chance to watch, drink and yell at the piece of plastic mounted on the wall. Slainte for kick-off.

Gentlemen – I don’t know if you noticed, but we didn’t have a match yesterday. Seems like everyone should be dying for a scrimmage this evening.
Try and work it out so we can get in a good run tonight (Alex, bring your friend).
Cheers,
Charlie

Looks bleak, boys – no doubt due to the late games on Sunday. With the usual additions from the other squads, you should have enough for five or six a side, but I’m not going to do team sheets for the four of you. Sorry Mazzi.
Good luck tonight. Sunderland/Man City at 3PM tomorrow at Slainte. I’ll save you a seat.
