Off Topic Sunderland Sunday League

Brill stuff, love it.
You're just a puppy, I've turned 50 now.
Boots well & truly slung in the loft.
Keep up the good work Joe.

 

Thanks mate, and you keep up the good work, I haven't seen a rant for ages

 

Still have the odd one mate but mostly chilled these days.
Getting too old man.

 

I had 12 cans of Guinness from around 5pm last night, not looking forward to today

 

You sobered up or still a bit pissed?

 

Well we hard fought victory. 0-0 at half time and I thought it was the same as last week, dominated possession but couldn't find the net. 2nd half we came out and after about 15 minutes we won a pen, one of our lads blatantly pushed in the box. Pen was scored and we followed that up 10 mins later, when a corner was cleared we got the ball in the box and we scored with a header. 3 games, 2 wins and a draw so a good start. I had a good few beers after the game so forgot about my match report . One of the lads who was injured videoed the foul and pen

 

I managed to sober up mate

 

Thanks for the update Joe - I enjoy reading these

 

I'd upload the videos but it won't let me

 

Topper, keep it up fella.

 

The only way I know of, is to upload them to YouTube and then copy the YouTube link onto here.

 

I loved my Sunday league football.. played until my early 40's before playing over 40's until my many knee injuries forced me to hang up my boots..

 

I bet you were a right Paul Scholes type - steaming into tackles taking no prisoners.

 

When I was younger I was a hell of a sprinter, so spent all my football life playing either on the wing or up front..

 

I played left back at school & for the platoon.
Wasn't exactly very good tbh but I was quick.
Couldn't run for a bus these days.
Skill wise I was a bit Gareth Hallish, lol.

 

At senior school I played for my own year, the year above and from the 3rd year onwards the year above again.. I also played for Seaham Boys, as Ryhope came under that league rather than Sunderland.

 

Turned out for Sunday league once as they were a couple short.
Bastards put all 9st & 5'6" of me at centre half. ****s.
Needless to say, both the team & me got a right twatting.

 

We often have a laugh over it now but it wasn't funny at the time, lol.

 

I was always ****e in the air and only scored a handful of goals with my head... Mind you, some of the centre half's that I played against were big lads..
