ZGeek Football Match?

[kré]

in honour of the heroic socceroos who have done us very proudly in germany and inspired by nerds fc, i would like to suggest a zgeek football match. depending on interested numbers this could be anything from a friendly kick-around to a semi-serious event.

assuming enough people would be interested, i've tapped out some ideas and some possible ground rules, which, of course, are completely open for discussion.


suggestions
------------------------
+boys and girls are all welcome to play. hermaphrodites can peel oranges.
+teams to be chosen by all interested players posting details about their physical abilities and sporting experience, then nominated team captains will choose players one by one.
+teams to decide on a colour shirt which all members of that team will be required to wear on the day.
+if amount of interested players is:
"less than 9": we could just get together and kick the ball around.
"9 to 14": game will be 4v4 played in an 18 yard box.
"15 to 24": game will be 6v6 or 8v8 played on a half field.
"25 or more": game will be 11v11 played on a full field.


possible regulations
------------------------
+sneakers/trainers only, studs/cleats not allowed.
+shin pads encouraged, but not required.
+unlimited substitutions.
+players must have registered on the site before june 28, 2006 to avoid ringers.
+at least one informal "training" session is encouraged.


other points
------------------------
+if we get enough people interested to have a full 11v11 game, it would be a nicety if 1 or more people volunteered to referee, however, we're all generally good people and could more than likely play fairly enough on an honour system.
+spectators are encouraged.
+spectators with still and/or video cameras are encouraged even moreso ^__^.
+a bbq and pissup afterwards is essential, so a saturday is the preferable day.
+suggested dates would be either mid september or mid to end of october, when it is usually warm but not facemeltingly hot. or, if we're really enthusiastic, we could tie it in with the global zmeet.

now, would anybody actually be interested? does anybody have any suggestions?

let's footballing!

Bishi should be here :mad:

[Cassa]

Making that a zmeet thing could be a fun idea I think.

I'd love to play but I forget how to (it's been about 8 years since I last played anything kicking balls that aren't DumHed's)

[BlueBoy]

I have a participation trophy from 1986. I'm in.

[kré]

excellent, and yes, i agree, making it part of the zmeet would be pretty cool

[Movius]

I will participate in this game of Association Football if I am in the area at the time.

[kré]

superb.

[excalibur]

I heartily endorse this product or service.

Zmeet would encourage more participants, and stuff.....

[DCenT3]

Where are you thinking of having this so called soccer match?
I have about 11 trophies and 3 medalions under my belt. I havent play the last 2 years. I also got 1 basketball trophy and a chess trophy from primary school. w000. Ill volunteer for the referee role and/or still camera man.

[pliskin]

sound like a winner.
i agree, zmeet would be a good time to organize event.
last time i played soccer was at our chef's christmas party a few yrs ago.
imagine 20 guys, drinking solidly for 3 hours, when some1 says. " hey i have my kids football in the car "
ppl were running off the field, scolling half a beer then running straight back on, made for an interesting afternoon

[MisterBishi]

:(

[MasterFarter]

The farter is a possible depending on work and timing of club matches. Must be Sydney.

Me as a player......
Currently play over 35/5's, although I have played (keeper) as high as Amatuer Leage 1's.
Have been a goalkeeper for about ten years
Won my first ever grand final last year (by stopping two penalties in a shoot out)!!!!!!!
NOT fit, dodgy knees and could not run out of sight on a dark stormy night!

[Glompbot]

Last time I played soccer I kicked a guy in the nuts.

[BlueBoy]

Last time I played soccer I kicked a guy in the nuts.
You're on my team.

[Pagey]

Last time I played soccer I kicked a guy in the nuts.

I'm not playing then...

[MasterFarter]

Last time I played soccer I kicked a guy in the nuts.

I'll keep and you can be my central defender!

[BtrFly]

sounds like fun! thank god i dont have nuts.

if i am in the area, count me in. i will have to get some pointers from the football crazed guys here

[Glompbot]

Actually, I should clarify...
It was indoor soccer in high school...
I told the guy i WOULD kick him in the nuts unless he gave me the ball.


And then I accidentally kicked someone else in the nuts when trying to kick the ball later on.. it wasn't on purpose.

possible dates are in the first post :cool:

if we get enough interest in doing so, this could turn into a zmeet thing, which would be excellent as far as i am concerned.

[Ic3]

Where abouts would this soccer match take place?

[primus]

what city would this game be held in?

[kré]

Sydney of course!

as to a location within Sydney, i haven't got a clue, that's something i'll need some suggestions on

[dwarfthrower]

Shirts v Skins?

If I was there, I'd happily play... but that seems unlikely. Event must be videotaped for posterity/mockery.

[Ic3]

Sydney of course!

Maybe we could do two matches at once, one in syd and one in melbourne and then compare the scores..

Now that would be fun...who in Melbourne is up for some soccer?

[RedMaN]

Weeeeeee! It's all about the nuts ;)

Put me down as '"a possibly interested party". I'm alot unfit (as opposed to a little :) ) but it could be good for shits and giggles.

I thrice this notion for this event to be involved with zmeet.

[kré]

:cool:

[excalibur]

I vote Guys Vs. Girls. Skins being the Lady team.

[King_Crud]

Last time I played soccer I kicked a guy in the nuts.
I think you'd only be able to head me in the nuts.

I'm in. I was leading goal scorer in my team in under 10s

[-=[BB]=-]

You're on my team.
What makes you think the guy she knackered was on the other team?

[PhilDude]

i'm in homeboys and homegirls

[Glompbot]

=-']What makes you think the guy she knackered was on the other team?
He was.

And i'd never kick bluey in the nuts, he'd go all chewbacca on my arse.

[Girl.]

Put me down as a maybe -- I'm really uncoordinated and have never played before though, will that be a problem?

[kleph]

not if the rest of them start drinking early.

[durus]

I'd play....
IF I were in sydo-knee.
which is not terribly likely.

[King_Crud]

Put me down as a maybe -- I'm really uncoordinated and have never played before though, will that be a problem?
you'd still be better than blunt. He'd be standing on the field with a playstation controller wondering why he's suddenly not doing bicycle kicks

[kré]

Put me down as a maybe -- I'm really uncoordinated and have never played before though, will that be a problem?
not a problem at all, the more uncos the merrier :)

[Whiskers]

I'm in.

[BlueBoy]

I'm in.
Skins.

[Whiskers]

When I put you to shame, I'd rather say it was because of skill rather than you being distracted by my beautiful bouncing breasts.

[MisterBishi]

I have always dreamt of playing on the world's biggest stage, the Global ZMeet kickabout.

No, really.

[BlueBoy]

When I put you to shame, I'd rather say it was because of skill rather than you being distracted by my beautiful bouncing breasts.
I speak for everyone on my team when i say we'd all be ok with it.

[Pagey]

I'll be an Italian Stalion and take a dive in your box...

[tomsyman]

I'm in. I once scored 7 goals in the under 7s. As for location, prob depends on time of year and whether the grounds are being used by other sports... I would also recomend Centenial Park, we can commandeer an area to play and then have a BBBQ afterwards.

[Kez]

I'm in, cray = win

[kré]

you guys rule *sniff*

[sperm]

dammit I wanna play ! :sulk:

maybe there can be a second round in melb when im there next, since bluey will be in sydney and they cant have a simutaneous match .....

Do I play soccer ?

[Jaz]

Sydney of course!

as to a location within Sydney, i haven't got a clue, that's something i'll need some suggestions on

How about Wentworth Park? Thats where they filmed NerdsFC.

[kré]

How about Wentworth Park? Thats where they filmed NerdsFC.
that could be a good one.

btw, are you in?

[Buffy]

Is that the park down near the fish markets and the light rail runs through it? I was going to suggest there too, but it seems very popular, especially on weekends... do you have to book space or something?

[MasterFarter]

Kick and giggle, fueled by beer and BBQ sounds pretty right. Girls v Boys skins and shirts sounds even better :D

Wentworth Park. Thats the one up near Central Station right?

Farter Junior (15yo) expresses an interest but is not registered. What would be the ruling on ones offspring joining the festivities?

[Jaz]

Yes, I am in. Yay for zmeet dates not clashing this year.

[King_Crud]

How about Wentworth Park? Thats where they filmed NerdsFC.
yes please, this is about 2 mins walk from my place. Then we can go for a celebratory beer at the Kauri Foreshore and the hot chicks can come back to mine for an orgy

[kré]

ok by me, as long as he's no superstar in the making in it solely to humiliate a bunch of unfit geeks

[Icky_Thoomp]

I'm tentatively in. I will bring the following -

- myself
- my brother's collection of replica shirts (England, Italy, Brazil, AC Milan included)
- any water bottles that I can find in my house
- witches hats that I will steal from the street in honour of this sporting spectacle
- lots of "Tackle 'im, farken!"'s

Cheers
Icky

excellent :cool:

[King_Crud]

If we have a full squad I will volunteer for ref if need be

[kré]

we have a volunteer for ref, but if DCent falls though, you're next in line

[Cassa]

If player numbers allow, Girl. and I will fill in the role of footballers' wives. Namely, sitting around looking fabulous, drinking wine and bitching.

[Girl.]

No no no, we have to play so we can kick the boys asses.

THEN we will sit around filing our nails and drinking cocktails. Hehe, I said cock.

[Cassa]

done.

[DCenT3]

If we have a full squad I will volunteer for ref if need be

Most likely you will be reffing. I have a feeling that something more important might come up....like recording a band or sumthin like that.

I guess i shall hand over the ref position to king_Crud now because it is more likely for him/her (lol) to make the game.

[sagit]

I volunteer for a position on the team of the "drunken pommy gits who get arrested and sent home before the game starts"

[kré]

bump

let's get some more people and some more ideas going

[RedMaN]

- lots of "Tackle 'im, farken!"'s
Definitely lots of those will be thrown about the place :D

I'm looking forward to this event, should be a top day. I vote we move the goals to where the 'footballer's wives' shall be sitting... they ain't going to be pretty anymore :D

[kré]

hey now that's a plan

[beerbaron]

if its in september im in :)
currently playing div 1 amateurs reserves at the moment
