what are the ages of the players that are taking part in the 2 lifers matches?
i get the impression that most of the players are either
1. twentysomething, or
2. thirtysomething and still playing football.
being a very unfit (nearly) 37 year old, that hasn't kicked a ball for 10 years or done any sort of physical work/excercise for 2 years, i am beginning to think that i will make a complete fool of myself on the 22nd.
i want to make it quite clear that i don't need a 'ronaldo' wannabe running rings around me at the match to make me look like a fool, i am quite capable of achieving that myself either on the pitch or in the bar afterwards.
anyway as i said, i'm approaching 37 and have asked to play in the fat slower paced game. who else?

Is there going to be a manager for each side just to keep the teams organised. My dad reckons its going to be like watching under 9's matches where every one chases the ball in a massive bunch of players trying to grab that glory goal in front of the covered end. I can see it now Goalkeepers going on mental maradona runs up the pitch.
mmmmmmmmmmm.........
*tries to think of a sarcastic sexist comment about women not able to play football, then remembers carlsbergs previous quote*
Only stopped playing regularly recently. Still doing 5-a-sides weekly (Was a keeper tho)
Have requested a run out for this one , But if i do go in goal i'll be "doing a Friedel" for all the corners.
Really looking forward to getting out there and raising some money!
Up The Addicks!
both knees gone, wrist gone, shoulder gone, nagging left groin, this body was made for sitting...
am desperately trying to pull myself together, but everytime i do something, something else flairs up...
And me! Think I might have to take some photos and play a bit in the 2nd game....
Me too, Dave, but ......I used to be 45 once.
Surely, there's gonna be somebody out there older than me (gulp) ?

I have had the honour of conceding a penalty in front of the South Stand (tee hee) because of the diving cheat that is Bibble.

brilliant!
Who said anything about marking? We won't have to play proper tactics will we? Thought we all just chased the ball around the pitch, and hoped to kick it (or at least try to) once or twice!!
On the plus side, just been told I won't need an ankle operation as the injection put in last month seems to have done the trick. Might get another one just before the game, anyone know if there will be random drug tests?
Marking? yer having a larf, might try and kick someone in the tunnel as it will be the closest I get to anyone all game. :-)
