NEXT GAME; Sunday 15th August, Orange!

It's time for our first game in the SASL this weekend. We start our campaign of the 2010/2011 season in the SASL 3rd Division with an away match against Orange. This game will be played at Fred Wolfe Park and it is a 9 AM kick off..... I repeat.... a 9 AM kick off! So, please try and be at the field between 8.30 and 8.45 to warm up. The SASL rules are strict around bad behaviour and abuse of the ref.... please to do not argue, shout or even talk to the ref during the game or you may receive a yellow or red card!

What do we know about our new opponents? Well they have just joined the over 40 leagues after playing in the over 30's divisions. Last season they finished second bottom of the Third Division. Having said that, I'm sure they will think that they are a young enough team to take on us old timers! Our big advantage? We have been playing all Summer without a break! Let's have a great start to the new league


In other news, we had a team meeting Monday night at Augers bar and the shock news from the meeting was the sacking of Jodingo!! and BOR from their roles as recruiting and entertainment officers! As they cried into their beers Tom A and Tano were appointed the new CRO (Chief Recruiting Officer and CBO ( Chief Beer Organizer ) respectively.


We spent most of the meeting talking about the new rules and regs of the SASL....... if you are not already aware please make sure your shirt has a number on it!! You may not get on the field without a number on your shirt!


SEE YOU ON THE FIELD AT 9AM THIS SUNDAY!

  2. ……………First of all the bitter & sweet! Congratulations to our new executive officer (TANO), whom I ‘m confident will be an outstanding CEO, and my commiserations to the outgoing officers, Jodingo!! And BOR…I’m certain you’re devastated beyond belief!

    I’ll be gunning for you boys early on Sunday morning. Tano, can you arrange a live feed that I can stream to my laptop…very excited about our inaugural match in the new league!!!

  3. Roniildo.... yes they were stunned.... they didn't know it was coming but it felt good sacking them.... LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Oh, the humility of it all! I've been barely able to lift my head in public.....

    Though, for the record, we recruited more players duing my tenure as CRO than any other period of like time. Of course, I take full credit for this accomplishment, even though I had absolutley nothing to do with the actual recruitments!

    ReplyDelete
  5. .....spoken like the consumate executive you are Mr. Jodingo!!

    Johnaldo,i guess those are the best sackings to deliver...didn't see it coming :-)

    ReplyDelete

  10. Hello Team

    As you know, I'm on charge of the Postgame Drinks.
    CBO, they said (chief beer organizer) I would like to be a Congressional Budget Office Chief instead (nice salary and benefits), but for that I need to move to DC.,so I just stay here to be the chief beer org. for now.

    In the meeting I proposed to make a list of those guys who want to be part of the Postgame Drinks, (PD from now, ), so we can have an idea of how much beer we need, and Who's next beer boy.
    Unfortunately some ones don't stay for the PD, for personal reasons.
    Now we have two groups, the PD players, and the abstinent players.
    If you are not in the list, and you want a drink, you have two choices, one is, bring your personal drink ( we can cool it for you), or you can have one some times, but if you stay often, I put you on the PD list, so you can drink many games you want, but you have to cooperate too. Sounds fair? (let me know if you have better idea).

    I want start over, so the first contributor will be me.(Thanks, Big Keep)
    So far I think the list is this, but you can add yourself or remove as your wish.(please help)

    PD players:

    LOB(She drinks: Heineken, Corona, Stella)
    TANO (He drinks: Beck, and whatever imp)
    Jhonaldo (Ale, sierra Nev, Bellhaven,)
    El Gato (Stella, Heineken,Corona)
    Roniildo (Stella< Stella, Stella)
    Jodingo!! (Black label,Sierra Nev.,Cabernet)
    BOR (Stella, Becks,
    Tom A.(Stella, Heineken, Corona)
    Hulk Hogan (Bud light, Bud, Tecate)
    Bambi (Corona,Heineken, Ale)
    Fribeka ( Heineken, Corona)
    Safet (Karlovačko, Carlsberg, Corona)

    And so on,(You can change your drink preference if you want, I guessed some brands )

    Very important:
    We don't know as visitors, which park are not allowed drink alcohol, because the new League,
    or if the other team may call the carabiniere .
    That's why, I will search in advance, if is a restricted park, or if they are an unfriendly Team.

    DRINK RESPONSIBLY.
    (PD is an Acronym, stand for: Personality Disorder also Police Dept.so watch it!!)

    Cheers.

    no ID cards as of this morning for either Telat or La Boca.... hopefully will be in the post box when i get home

  12. CBO.... Nice list!

  13. To the Four New SASL 040 / 048 Teams for the 2010-11 Season

    Please see attached three charts that are used for tracking each teams discipline for yellow and red cards and the discipline received for ejections.

    Discipline points are usually same as game suspensions, i.e. 3 games for fighting = 3 points.
    Letter that explains the point system.
    Discipline Chart that is updated every week
    CSSA (State Org.) minimum game suspension for red card
    As a new team, you are automatically on two years probation. If a new team has a bad record in their first year, they may not be invited back. This happened last year to a new team, Stratford S.C.
    who were not invited back. Teams not invited back for poor discipline forfeit all bonds, Rule D.3.

    Participation in the SASL is a privalage not a right. Five teams have not been invited back this last two years.

    Hopefully this e-mail will give you advance notice of the discipline standards that teams and players are expected to meet. It is important that you notify your players that getting excess yellow and or red cards could hurt the team. I suggest if you have a player acting undisciplined, pull him off to help the player and the team.

    If you have any questions, feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail.

    Ken Brown, President
    For the Ex Bd.

We also have three other players that we are in discussion with.... we need a squad that can survive the season.... even with 20 players in our squad we have been dwon to only 11 available for a game and even then two of them played injured!

  55. I'm hopeful for Sunday, but the biggest pain, literally, with my injury is that I haven't been able to exercise much at all (hard breathing=pain)(a set-up, I know)-- I'll be in a subbing capacity only, and see how it goes...

    ReplyDelete
  56. Arniesto.... will be good to see you there!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Too bad McGeady leaving Celtic, I hear.....

    ReplyDelete
  58. Arniesto... yes i posted something for you above your comment!

  59. Hey in that pic Aiden looks like a unrecognized son of Johnaldo.

    Arnie:
    Get a lot of heat compress of white Vinegar and Epson salt bath. Get well.

  60. What a Coincidence McGeady Father name is John

    ReplyDelete
  61. Tano...i do have some of McGeady's skills.... LOL

  64. I am sad about McGeady.... :o(

    ReplyDelete
  65. Sure Tom:
    Do the same thing like Arnie, and I remember the rehab of groin strain is 2 or 3 weeks. The most effective therapy exercise is, to get those soft plastic balls (Size 5 or 4)from Wal-mart put between your knees and squeeze it for 15 sec. and release it, rest one minute and again.
    Make this 4 time a day for about 30 minutes.

    Get well

  67. LOTB... Yes losing McGeady is a big thing for Celtic and also Boruc but they do need to freshen the team up. I think they both were getting bored playing in the SPL. Having said that they have both joined clubs that are much smaller than Celtic

  68. A man had two of the best tickets for Scotland v England
    . As he sits down,
    another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next
    to him..

    "No", he says, "the seat is empty."

    "This is incredible!" said the man, "who in their right mind would have
    a seat like this for Scotland v England, one of the biggest sporting events of the
    year, and not use it?"

    He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed
    to come with me but she passed away. This is the first International we
    haven't been to together since we got married."

    "Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. I guess you couldn't
    find someone else, a friend or relative or even a neighbour to take the
    seat?"

    The man shakes his head... "No. They're all at her funeral."

    ReplyDelete
  69. A man escapes from a prison where he's been locked up for 15 years.
    He breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a
    young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair.

    While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of
    her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.

    While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife, 'Listen, this
    Guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot
    of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your
    neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain... do whatever he
    tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is
    obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey.
    I love you!'

    His wife responds, 'He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my
    ear.
    He told me that he's gay, thinks you're cute, and asked if we had any
    Vaseline.
    I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong. I love you, too.'
