Footie!

I have just survived coaching my first U6 soccer game by myself! Footie!Mark approves!



We got killed--0 - 6! thank Christ they don't really keep score at this age--but Ros and the other kids had fun, and so did I. But I think I'm going to draft the Sweetie to help with player rotation next time because there's no way I can do that and pay attention to what's happening on the field.

To celebrate, have a Take That Footie Pic Spam.

Howard in a football jersey, which is the closest I could find to him on a pitch.


Even on a football pitch, Jason runs like he does on stage.


Robbie tackling Jason


Determined!Mark is determined. (I love this pic. It's everything I love about Mark.)


Mark taking on Damon Albarn.


Robbie can have the last pic.

Awww, poor girls (and boys? Or is it a girls-only-team? I can't believe I never asked this! *facepalm*) and poor you! Better luck next time!

Buuuuut what a way to start the day! All my favourite guys in shorts and socks! Mark and Damon! Oh my!!! So much cuteness in one picture!

Thank you! ♥

PS: I understand your complaints about not having a decent Howard-footie-gear-picture (shame LBDS is in black and white, though they didn't really wear footie gear anyway...:(), but have you noticed you've not even looked out for a Gary picture?? :)

Lovely lovely... :)

But that pic with Robbie and Jason - is that real? It's always looked to me like a manip...

Congratulations on your survival (and your coaching)! I'm sure you need help and I'm sure most coaches and managers rely on others to help out!

Nice pics!

If everyone had fun, you did your job! The slaughter could be way worse ;) Calling in some assistance sounds very reasonable, if only out of self-preservation!

Ahh the loveliness, what a treat to wake up to! Let's hope some more pics can be added to the collection come Sunday, especially if it means more Determined!Mark! :D (and I don't think I have to, or can, express my longing for cuddling pics ;))

Congrats on doing this for the kidlets. Since I've never coached a thing, I admire you. Now I was a Girl Scout leader. LOL! My youngest played football/soccer and she loved it. She was pretty good at it also and since I'm so unsportsable, I was impressed. :)

Congrats on a successful first game. Yes, it was successful as you didn't misplace any of them. :D

Woot first game! *g* And oh what a lovely picspam on a sunny day - I hadn't thought about the way Jason runs before, but you're right, he does the little hands out thing! And Mark on the football field really shows another side of him to him onstage or being emo in a drain that is lovely to see.
