Footie!

[przed]

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.

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.

It's the same here, I was guessing it's still co-ed. A friend's daugher was so good from age 8 on that the club insisted she'd play with the boys. That was very good until she had to return to the girls' side aged 16. Her wry comment after the first training "I'd rather be back with the boys, they're disgusting, but at least they don't whine when their mascara gets smudged!" She's 19 now and got used to the girls! :)

You've got no Gary-footie-pics, because there are no Gary-footie-pics - the closest you come to footie-pics is him watching the footie!

Your friend's daughter sounds awesome. I'm with her on the boy/girl divide. (I fenced on my uni team when I went back to do my teaching degree, and while there was no whining about mascara, I was astonished that my team mates cried when we finished one place out of the medals at my first tourney. I was just ecstatic we'd got that far, especially as I was 30 and fencing 18 year-olds.)

I suppose we're back to LBDS to get Gary on a pitch. Or go for Gary-watching-footie. *g*

She is! (She started counting goals very early, though... *g*)
I always start smiling when I think of you fencing, it just warms my heart! You have to post a pic of you in your fencing gear one day! I'd love to see that!

Erm...or you just stick to the real football players in the band...? Judging from his Gary-ness in the "The-Flood"-outfit I'd say you haven't missed that much by not seeing him in football gear...*g*

Ya know, I don't think there are any pictures in existence of me in the fencing gear. That's a bit sad. But I do have a pic of me with my old Hap Ki Do club kicking around somewhere.

Sticking with the real football players is okay by me. With Howard as an honourary member of that crew. *g*

That really is a shame! But I'll happily take any picture that shows you kicking ass...*g*

Oh, but Howard, unlike Gary, does a brilliant header...*coughs* He showed us in LBDS and it was really, erm, *coughs some more*, uhm...quite remarkable, wasn't it? Doesn't really matter, though - he's by far the prettiest of the WAGs in the band, and so he doesn't really give a sh**.
