Our next game is an away game against East Haven, at Moulthorp Park with a 10 am kick off! And...it's going to be BOR's last game as he heads off to a sunnier and hotter climate!We have only two games left for this part of the season and rounding the session off with 6 points would be a great way to have a nice Summer break. East Haven have been a team that so far we have dealt with relatively easily with two wins. See match reports here;
But, we are playing on their Lilliputian field where a reasonably strong kick out from the Hulk and a little breeze could score a goal! Same for them though and we have to be careful not to make mistakes that give them chances that they would otherwise not get on an adult sized field!
We have to create space and keep as wide as possible on this field!
There are still a lot of games left in this league and we can still clinch a promotion spot!
Unfortunately we will be chasing that dream without BOR.... he has been given an offer he can't refuse and will be taking up residence in Texas very shortly. I am sure he will keep in touch with the bhoys through the blog and of course his annual commitment to the Atlantic Rovers!
Best of luck BOR.... and thanks for the memories!
Let's try and get a good squad turn out for Sunday as we will try and get a new team photo! Even if you are injured come and support the team!
I'm in for Sunday, hobbled as I may be.
ReplyDeleteBOR, I'm going to come to the match to watch you play your last game with Madison Celtic! No injuries allowed!
ReplyDeleteMy hats off to you BOR....best of luck to you down south and I am sure we will be visiting you or you will be visiting us at some point. I will be there on Sunday hobbling in and hopefully can play with Bor
ReplyDeleteJohnaldo,
ReplyDeleteAny good bye trophy for Bor including all his past pics with the team?
Will be in on Sunday -- my ankle is almost back to normal. Will bring the beer and the camera -- if needed - for the new team's photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great team that we have:
ReplyDeletewe don't have only one photographer we have two, we have press director, financial coordinator, Field coordinator, party coordinator,Game statatics, Props, access to private club, auxiliary field,International trips event, recreational local trip events, Test of international cuisine.
Holiday dinner party and trophy Ceremony.
Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't have all this.
This is not more a regular recreational team this a GREAT CLUB.MCFC(MADISON CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB)
........BOR, wish you the best of luck in Texan adventure, and look forward to a MCFC trip to Texas, once you have established a new team in Texas..never been to Lone Star State, so hopefully we can get something going in the next couple of years!!!
ReplyDeleteJohnaldo, awesome BOR collage! Did we get any of his bagpipe playing in Scotland last year?
TANO, great comments on our team. When you see it all written out like that, you can really appreciate what we have going or us, and I look forward to many more years of fun and competition with the Madison Celts

We miss you BOR and our #11 little old mascot.... See you Sunday. Need a ride or car pool?
ReplyDeleteTano... great comment! and true! Looks like we may have a paparazzi war on Sunday! I think LOTB would win.....
ReplyDeleteRoniildo I'm sure the deprture deserves a few video moments!
ReplyDeleteSeriously.....what men's soccer team has 2 photographers! Looks like I will be battling it out with Rugginho for the best shot of the day. Johnaldo, the winning shot should earn "photo of the week status"!
ReplyDelete....and don't forget there will be a third photographer there! Me!! Let the fight for the best pic award begin!
ReplyDeleteoh it's on....
ReplyDeleteand you and Ruggerho can bring your fancy dan cameras.... i will use my Iphone and win!!
ReplyDeleteThat's good so the beer boys are Rugginho and Ilhan. Then Pink can do June 26 since he is leaving early anyways.
ReplyDeleteBambi, I recommend bring your left over as back-up incase.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments Tano, you diffinetly know how to exspress yourself well. Hulk is in sunday and will bring some leftover beers as well. Next week we can all team up to bring some leftover beers and next session we will start will Tano and myself again. BOR been a pleasure playing with you and hope you can continue down in texas.

Since it is Bor farewell game, should we ask EH if they would let him score a goal :o)
ReplyDeleteLOTB, I gave you the name back then (Lady Of The Blog) - with a win your status could be QOTB (Queen Of The Blog) if you wish; but beware! I have a suscpicion that Johnaldo, in true paparazzi fashion, is going to play dirty (elbowing, shoving...) to get the best picture! the title of QOTB could be tempting for him too :o)
I would of course go for the KOTB title....
ReplyDelete...with all tha cameras on Sunday, make sure your kit is in pristine condition. Some of you might consider a makeover before the paparazzi extravaganza....
ReplyDeletejaja You guys are funny,
ReplyDeleteI imagine on Sunday Game,instead of concentrate on the game, we'll do model gesture to the photographers, like Cristiano Ronaldo does
DS..shirt is ready #45, like Lewis Toshney.
Gents need your attention please:
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was playing soccer at East shore park, it was about 25 guys and one guy got a nasty cut from some one cleats.
So my first reaction was asking for water make some pressure in the cut elevate his arm (the cut was in his arm) and asking for betadine, (no one have idea what I talking about) then peroxide or alcohol. No one carrying nothing even a band aid, including me.
SO I like to asking everybody for (two beers price) 3 dollars to buy a first aid kit for the team. Because is better to prevent than improvise.
I like to Roniildo collect the money and I make nice first aid kit for all.
including ice pack icy-hot, Alka-Seltzer,Advil and many needs.
DS, Goggs, Flaco, Jorge??
ReplyDeleteSafet?
ReplyDeleteTano,
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea regarding the first aid kit. Don't forget to add several ice packs.
Thanks for all the well wishes.
Tano what about a team nurse?
ReplyDeleteJorge, I won't be able to give you a ride Sunday since I most likely won't be going directly home after the game. You might be able to get a ride with El Gato at exit 58. Or possibly with Flaco.

Jodingo!!, no word from others, but I thought Jorge said he was in for Sunday, last weekend
Yes. I'll play. I'll try to get a penalty kick for Rob. I'll drive. C ya.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Jorge! Goggoliito is in too, so we r in great shape :-)
ReplyDelete........we would need a bigger buffer in our treasury to afford a team nurse......but, I like the way johnaldo thinks.....LOL
ReplyDeleteDS is in too....this is magic boys !
ReplyDeleteTano, got a buffer in el banco, so tell me how much you need to put the kit together, and I'll bring on Sunday.....
ReplyDeleteNice thought Jorge.... BOR IS PK TAKER ON SUNDAY to make sure he scores for the Celts b4 his transfer to Texas Rangers
ReplyDeleteOnly if we are 3 nil up!!! Just keeping it real..
ReplyDeleteI may have a nurse outfit.....
ReplyDeleteFribeka-I have upgraded my name!
QOTB...please wear it on Sunday for good luck. I think that's what we have been missing....LOL

Roniildo..I find out tomorrow then how much is a decent first aid kit, without portable defibrillator($1,000 the cheapest).And like Bor said I make sure to get a lot of instant ice packs for sure. About the nurse Johnaldo is all depend her age and how short the skirt. BTW: did you want her with garters too? ;)
ReplyDeleteIf your religion is soccer You must bookmark this page:The Bible
ReplyDeleteTano, garters are mandatory !
ReplyDeleteHulkster, r we all set for July 9th fishing trip?
ReplyDeleteTano, I don't know, with this crew, a $1,000 defibrillator might be the best investment we ever made!!
ReplyDeleteBambi
..................good point Bambi, especially if the nurse shows up!
ReplyDeleteI'm in. I'm bringing a couple six packs of bud light and chips, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe nurse I'm sure we can get by the hour if needed. Reasonable price, too.
Just don't get hurt.
BTW I stopped by the field in Wallingford last week. Found my shin guards and white socks, but my black neoprene ankle supports were not there...
ReplyDeleteGuilford were beaten by the Albanian Eagles 4-3! They are 4 points behind us now but 3 games in hand.... makes next weeks game even more important!!
ReplyDeleteI see Johnaldo.
ReplyDeleteThat means the guilford Bell Curve defense was bad as was ours, in the game vs the Albanians,
Today control the game was very important, and I think the key was have a one or two guys right in the mid to switch the ball to one side to another and create space for strike,very simple thing, and we were so much good with the ball on the ground.
Second Half was good but not organized as the first.
Good game, not great, but good enough.
ReplyDeleteHulk, Hope your eye isn't too bad today. Post some pics of the damage!
BOR, Best wishes for you and your family in Tejas!! Safe travels as well!
BOR, Best of luck and keep in touch. Drive carefully..... See you in Glasgow...
