Is the 7's pitch you're talking about at Strikers the big one? I've played 9 a side on that before and it was big enough. The smaller pitches are probably big enough for 7's, they are easily bigger than Goals and Goals can handle 6 a side...

Aye it's fine for 8 or so aside. We played 8v8 in the staff v. pupils game there the other week and it worked quite well.

The small piches are bigger than those at Goals, but 6-a-side is pushing it a bit if you want a decent game.

7's is the baws! A good balance between the fury and madness of 5's and the strategy of 11's

I used to run a Saturday amateur side and we played 8's and 9's there a few times in the winter - when any of the lazy cunts could be bothered turning up.

Wasn't too bad actually.

I've still got scars from the St Machar Academy staff v. pupils match 3 years ago though!! That was a mental game!

Magic!

When I played - briefly - in the dreaded Ayshire Juniors, we patented the concept of "befores".

A "retaliate first" policy - my shins are all scar tissue from old-timey studs and shite shinpads!

I dont really unerstand football strategys too well, i think thats what i like about 5's, it always ends up everyone going for the ball at the same time and lots of sore shins...


It's good to see so many people up for it, i just hope everyone can make it when we get something concrete

I hate this thread ...because I can't get involved!
Love a good semi-serious, semi-muck about game of footie!

I'd be up for playing as well. Sorry if it ruins your numbers. Goals would suit me best, especially if it's going to be at around 6 cos I would have to get up to the BOD from town to get to Strikers, which can be hard work in rush hour.

29 year old, unfit and out of shape, smoker, virtually a midget with torn cartilage in his right knee, zero football skills but plenty of enthusiasm

I'm best at right back, though I'm pretty hopeless everywhere to be honest. I'm not bad at hitting a dead ball.
