Saturday's victory...

what a game. I think we were all heroes if just for one day. MOM...Fat Yid none other

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

absafuckinglutely. We should recite this before each game...

I think the entire team were MOM.

Great debuts by Fatyid, Janek, Nick, Linesmann etc.

The SIHK FC is having depth in the squad!

certainly some good players coming up through the ranks now. I think if we play regular games we have the making of a very good team with the added benefit of being exclusively made up of yids. Thats what dreams are made of...

Considering he messed up his knee early on, I think you might find he disagrees with you on that one.

So will we be in a position ot challenge the Liverppol lads to an 11-a-side match sometime in the next few months?

Don't see why not.

If Ezza, Jezza, yourself Jason and Ozspur are able we should have enough for 11 a side...particularly with all the injuries we seem to pick up.

I would say so yes but we will have to make sure our best players are free and will 100% be there. Also we will need to pick our best 11 and unfortunately, those of us not blessed in the football skills department will have to settle for a place on the bench. Of course this goes against our ethos of anyone playing which is fine 99% of the time (and my preference) but if we play the bindippers we must play to win.

The rest of the time is just for fun but this game should be an exception. Am I going OTT?

Is the best 11 necessarily the best team though?

yes

I very much enjoyed the game and meeting you all, shame about the injury but I suppose these things start to happen as you hit 30. However, I think I'll be back for the next game as long as it is in a couple of weeks. I don't want to become the Sicknote of the team..!

You wait till you get to 40! And as for being the sicknote, ezza has missed the last couple of games, Hairy has missed all but the first one and I'm in the middle of three months off with a broken toe! So not too many worries for you if you'll be back in a fortnight.

I'll try to make the next game.

Don't all shout Hurrah at once.

quite frankly I think that's me. I wasn't thinking of playing more than 20 minutes but then Nick got injured and scuppered that plan. By the end I was writhing in misery on the bench (well, until FatYid struck).

Studies have shown that the best way to avoid injury is to get fitter - just an idea, but why don't we try it?

Definitely.

Who's up for a regular weekly 5-a-side kickabout? Yiddos have priority, with guests welcome if numbers permit?

yes - should be able to make most weeks

count me in boys. Can do Tuesdays or Thursdays

Nah, staying on the bench is the best way to avoid injuries. Years of experience have taught me that
