Playing Amateur Football

[liamo3]

Anyone playing? I just signed up to senior league (over 35 ehem coughs) and man forgot how hard playing 11 a side on a full pitch can be. had 2 training sessions a match on Sat. its going to be a killer.


BTW I just meet that age criteria :p

I haven't played in a while mate but i'd love to get back into it.

Used to play alot of junior footie (aul). Had to retire a few years ago after I snapped my cuciate ligament for the second time:( . Did a bit of coaching for a bit then and went back trainin this year for a bit of fitness and a kickabout and tore the hamstring. I'm still way too young to play in your league Liam tho :).
best of luck with it mate enjoy it, I really miss playing

There's nothing like playing mate. Trust me, it will get a lot easier after a few training sessions and 3/4 matches. Just make sure they don't stick you in goal, from my experience as I've gotten the wrong side of 30 (just!) centre half involves the least amount of running:)

One real downside for me though is missing a few Reds games on telly as we play on a Saturday (1.15 ko this week).

I;m playing for a team in the Leinster Senior League. training is become more and more difficult to motivate yourself for the older you get

Anything like an over 40 (even deeper cough), 30 fags a day, utterly decrepit league around North County Dublin or Meath?

Not joking btw would love to get out playing again...or at least watching a game pass me by!!
