Indoor five-a-side football games - Fridays

I'd be up for a game.
Indoor preferably in this weather though..
Anyone know a good location?

Hi,

Just a short note to confirm my interest in a game of footy. We don't seem to be getting very far here though at the moment. Perhaps we should suggest a day to play on and get people to commit to it otherwise I don't think it's gonna happen. What do you all reckon?

You can either put a posting on here or e-mail me direct.

Cheers,

Andy

I agree set a date and time now and see how many can show up!

I know this has been mentioned before but this time we have a ready made place for a bit of five a side footie, in one of the ice rinks in the Olympiapark there are four courts for hire so is anyone up for a game?? We can play either after work one night or during the weekend. I would prefer after work but not available until the week of the 16th August, but obviously that doesn't stop anyone else from organising something beforehand...

Extra info can be found in the link below, cost will be €4 per person for nights or weekends.

Count me in.

Though I cant do Mon & Wed due to German Lessons

Sorry mate, I don't have any ice skates

No excuse! You can rent them there.

@steveNZ
I'll be up for some regular games after August Touch Rugby Comp is won.

@tench
think you are cross reading the posting from Canuck.. this is for 5 aside.

Get on the right thread Tench already will ya...

Erm

Tench,

Its OK I have a spare pair of ice skates you can borrow for the football if you want???

Oh damn, silly me it seems the football courts aren't played on the actual ice ring but on some sort of artifical surface. Would you adam and eve it!!!

Probably something to do with not puncturing the ball whilst wearing ice skates I reckon...

You can count me in too. Haven't played 5 a side for ages
Weekends or evenings... don't mind
Mr Hay

I'm definitely interested if I can make it...

oh for heaven's sake. maybe you should clarify 2004 or 2005?

butterbean... you gonna come play with the boys?

no, no - just saw an opportunity for crap-giving. if you need someone to stand on the sidelines, drink beer, and offer unhelpful (and likely inaccurate) commentary, I'm your girl!!!

@butterbean.

That is an exact take on what the touch rugby girl supporters do! But if you can get away from your "taxing" job , it'd be good to see you and L.

If anyone is arranging a match before the 12th August I would definately be up for it, but anytime after that I won't be here!

I'm away for the next week or so, but defintely up for some 5-a-side when i get back - though it should be noted that I am hideously out of shape...

I would like to play, if this thing actually happens.

Did I kill this.

I am out with Pascoe tomorrow on his B/day night, I will ask him when he is booking it. We can sort the rest then once we have a date, looks like no problem getting numbers.

NOTE - Given that my ankle is STILL swolen as hell from weekend, I'm off to find a pair of shinpads cos Jimbo's a dirty git

I'd love to play whenever you guys get together... are women allowed to play?

(Don't worry, though, I'm tough! )
Jenny

Make that Tue & Thu

(As I know Pascoe is aiming for the Tue)

I can do any day of the week. Lets make this happen.

Five-a-Side Football: every Wednesday, 7-8pm, at the: Socca 5 Olympia Hall

Directions: Get out of the U3 at Olympiapark and head towards the Stadium, it's signposted. It's also right next door to the mini golf place.

Team: Socca 5 takes advance block bookings for a few months in advance. The TT group has such a block booking for which 10 people have paid up already. If you're not one of the "Chosen Ten" but you'd like to join the group, then each week you need to find a space left vacant by one of those 10.

Me

I

Errr...possibly moi...though not quite sure about this Sunday.

Yeah, me. Why not.

OK, so this is now booked, we have 7 so far. I reckon we can get away with minimum 8, maximum 12.

thejarvii - Mrs
Tif
tench
Inflatablewoman
DrivinWest

So more names please!

If we dont have enough names by end of play tomorrow, then I will cancel this. I have to cancel at least 24 hours before the booking to avoid getting charged for this

come, join us!!

If you can't be bothered to run about you can go in goal!

I couldnt get anyone else involved. Maybe we can get a few more during the week?

Jimbo, said he should probably make it along?? so thats 8.

@Tench are you in touch with Pascoe at the minute? He gets back on Sunday afternoon, so get him down to play.

Edit - If it comes down to it, we can just drag a couple of kids off the park and get them to make up the numbers.

So this is not cancelled.

We are now -

thejarvii - Mrs
Tif
tench
Inflatablewoman
DrivinWest
Yossairin
Jimbo
Pascoe (If he's jet lagged, he can sleep in the goal)

I assume everyone knows where this place is? If not I suggest meeting up at the U Bahn stop(Olympiazentrum) at say around 5.30?

If anyone else wants to join, theres still room for a couple more

Excellent, see you on sunday.

Sunday was good. Thanks to all that turned out in the end, a couple couldnt make it for good reason, the good thing is that there is always a few spectators around who will want to play a game.

NOTE - Next time the volunteer spectator goes on my team, for some reason the 2 that played were unusually good.

So should anyone want to take this on, here is the booking page -

Socca 5 booking form

You get an email to confirm your booking and you dont have to pay until you get there.

To find the place is easy, once you get off the U-Bahn at Olympiazentrum, head out towards the stadium and you will see the place signposted. Plus if you know where the mini golf is here, its right next door to there.

This place is only going to be around for a few more months, then the ice skating rink will come back.

Thanks for sorting this out. I had fun.

Thank you for arranging the 5-a-side. It is strange to play indoor football with squared corners (I guess all corners should be square according to my High School Geometry techer), but it was a good workout. It is also a bit odd that indoor facilities that nice are not available in the winter. Are there other locations with similar surfaces for winter training?

Please let me know if you ever need an extra. Thanks, again!

Is there gonna be another kickaround soon? If I'm free, I'm definitely there...

Cheers, Sat

I hope so.

How about this Sunday same time again? 6pm-7pm??

Stick you name below if you're interested.

Me

you name

Anyone else fancy playing?

So far we're at 2

Perhaps you should make it non-contact football to get numbers up, or simply just say fuck it, and organise a big game of bulldog, or perhaps "pom pom"

Or tag (or teg, whatever the fuck teg is). Or maybe a Marienplatz game of hide and seek?

Yeah, but you've got to learn the rules though, and whos going to be player coach?

Out of town this weekend. Plus I've now played my token one match of football for the year. Back to the better sports.

Why don't you sacrifice yourself mate? We'd all appreciate it... Or I'll do it:
3 Lions: Some good play son, but when you're 'catching' remember to count to 100 in the agreed format: "1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi etc etc".
Don Riina: Nice defensive work, but when making a dummy run, remember to inform your team mates...

Jimbo - One tip for you, I know your thin mate, but we CAN see you behind those lamposts. Try and vary your hiding locations, that'll stop you getting found first time.
