Get those diaries out and write it in there now!

We can have another recruitment push nearer the time.

The Hearts home game against Rangers has been moved to 12:30 that day - so i might not make it (if i can get a ticket this time!!) - not sure if this will affect any others.....

I'm in, not played in a long time but would very like to take part in a game of footy.....only trouble is I don't know who anyone looks like!
But I'll still go though!

Do you only play with look-a-likes

Nah....just don't want to stand at the pits, and ask anyone "are you from POL?"

I'm sure Epykat would sell/give you her beloved POL t-shirt to wear so they could identify you, Z!!

Zargonian · Post by **Zargonian** » 09 Feb 2006, 17:04

I'd love a POL T-shirt. I'd wear it with pride....
what colour is it?

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 09 Feb 2006, 17:22

Z - it is white with the sun logo [top left on this page].

Does Bob have any spare?

Zargonian, look on Sandra and Bearcub thread and you will see a photo of us, so you will know what BC looks like

I'm up for a game

Wrong size ball for the type of football I usually play (the American variety) but will hapily embarrass myself.

Especially in those pink spandex shorts you wear Nova.

Aye it was like the last time you went swimming.
You couldn't understand why people ran away from you.

How dare you insinuate that I don't like my POL tee shirt

Just as soon as I've put on 4 stone I'll wear it with pride to Weightwatchers.........

Do you play for the Wolves? Used to watch the Eagles/Phoenix when they were around, but not been for a while (was going to take a trip up to Jack Kane this season to check out the Wolves though.........)

Novastar · Post by **Novastar** » 11 Feb 2006, 18:11

Don't play for the Wolves anymore (played a bit of flag with them and against them about 3 years ago).

I'm one of the coaches for the Craigmount Cougars at Craigmount High School (near The Gyle). Work with kids 13+ from all over the place. Very rewarding way to spend my Saturday mornings

Interesting you mention the Eagles. We had their ex-quarterback along this morning . Graeme someone (his kids just starting).

Gedge · Post by **Gedge** » 12 Feb 2006, 13:39

I'm keeping a note of everyone who says they are / aren't available (still room for a few more) but keep 11.30 ish in your diaries for Sunday 19th March and I'll get back to people the first week or two of March.

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 12 Feb 2006, 13:52

Can't remember if I responded, but this date should be OK for me. Are the ladies coming along to cheer us on and provide half-time entertainment?

Gedge · Post by **Gedge** » 13 Feb 2006, 15:09

Yes Bob you are defininitely in. I can't believe you have made those comments in public after I have been holding onto the contents of a similar PM for future possible blackmailing purposes.

I reckon we are now on 9 "players" (I use the term loosely) - original list on page 1 of this thread minus Jamesie plus Zargonian and Novastar.

So we could prob do with another 3 so we can have a couple of subbies.

Invite a couple of Portie mates (I'm afraid I don't have any friends which is why I have to resort to arranging games of football to meet people)

The Pitz can tell us what pitch we'll be on before... so all could meet on (outside) the pitch?

Jamesie · Post by **Jamesie** » 13 Feb 2006, 21:10

Am expecting one of the usual POL photographers to be on hand and a fully-fledged all-action report available for my return!

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 13 Feb 2006, 21:22

I was thinking it would be perfect for Portobelly Telly. Can we do slo-mo action replays I wonder? Post match analysis?

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 13 Feb 2006, 23:51

In my usual unable-to-read fashion, i read that one as "no-action replays". Probably more accurate.

Zargonian you can borrow my t-shirt if you want, that is if I can find it, prob at back of cupboard - its size large.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 17 Feb 2006, 12:20

I dont think Ive seen my POL T shirt since the day I bought it. Isn't it time we had a new design?

Aw! Dissapointed is me......looks like the only way you will recognise the Zarg will be due to my AC/DC t-shirt then......"rocka-rolla-rocka-rolla-wheeler-dealer......"

I'll try and get down this weekend to book a pitch at the Pitz for 11.30 (ish) on Sunday 19th March.

These people have said they are up for a game:

Porty
Robin
Bob
Bearcub
Gedge
Ed
Portyconvert
Zargonian
Novastar
Mr Epycat

I think my / Bob's friend Ian the Drummer might be able to make it so that's 11. Can anyone encourage anyone else - Porty friends, relations etc.

Get back to me if you're not going to be able to make it.

Zargonian · Post by **Zargonian** » 08 Mar 2006, 13:38

I'm up for it still......

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 08 Mar 2006, 14:56

I'm still ok too.
