Paphos People

So much for Paphos info - its all premiership !

Anyone know of local grounds for football ?

Also any "5-a-side" leagues for unfit people ?

I thought that they had sunday football ??
A friend plays in chlorika on a sunday,, not sure where though

BigDutch,

Thats not a bad idea actually, we should get a 5-a-side league going

It wouldn't take much but it would have to be a winter or end of summer thing as I for one wouldn't want to be running around a footie field in 40c temps

So if anyone as some spare time on their hands, we could have a mini league running soon All we need are 6 people who support the same teams, like the TOON, Spurs, Hearts, Sunderland, Man U, Arsenal etc etc, then start meeting for game

Also, a darts league would be good too

Admin

I believe that we already have both in the paphos region.
The 5 a side clubs are up behind the aliathon hotel
and paphos already has an extensive darts league

I think there's definitely some mileage in arranging a Paphos People kick-about - all we need is 10 blokes who'll turn up regularly and are all similarly old and unfit!

I would be up for a game maybe once a week - can't manage any more these days with my glass ankles!

You up for arranging something Pete?

Once a week is plenty for me too, followed by a beer to replenish all those burnt off calories.

i last played (one hour) two years back in late afternoon mid-June ... bugger me with a ten-foot barge pole, was hardcore. As long as we avoid June-Sept inclusive then shouldn't be too bad.

If i remember the facilty was in Emba / Mesoyi and they had two floodlit astroturf 5-a-side pitches.

Yeah, I've played at the Emba one. There's also a couple of pitches down Yeroskipou, opposite the water park. Think it was around CYP25 an hour, although they give discounts if you make block-bookings.

First game after not playing for a while is always a nightmare, but I find the fitness usually comes back quite quickly after that.

Playing in summer is do-able if you leave it until later in the evenings, just means there needs to be more post-match beers to sort out the hydration issues!

Any more volunteers?

I am up for that..
I need to lose a few kilos.......... about 30

Well that's 4 of us, plus Andy I work with will play.

Only need 5 more and we've got a game!

Sounds like a plan, we could kill 2 birds with 1 stone...

Go play 5-a-side & then retire to the pub & play darts while we recover from the footie..

I'm defo up for that, haven't played in a while, so should be a laugh if nowt else

Excellent point. Bet we won't have to pay 9 million quid to get you to turn out as well!

Oh now you've done it, he'll expect paying to play in goal now..

The first ones for free... then you can decide after
how much you want to pay

so you'll be bringing your wallet with you then Neil

Pete

did this ever come off? if so let us have the details wouldn't mind a weekly game of 5 a side

Not yet, but we're getting closer - I think that's us up to 7 players now if you're up for it!

aye count us in like

I'm 100% up for this guys! Count me in providing its not in office hours! I need to get fit!

Sorry Paphosfan, fit players are defo not allowed

Anyone who can run a 100yrds without collapsing is defo out

No no no. I qualify!! Honestly, I must play.......I broke my left ankle 18 months ago and since then I have only been able to run sideways!

In all honestly, I am totally unfit and will blend in nicely.

I will let you use my ball if you let me play.

8 players ........ FFS its nearly a reality .... just need a couple more me thinks

The place in Emba is best location for all ?

Don't we need 12 people to play, so we have roving sub at all times, just incase someone collapses

Its ok Simon, if you're unfit, you'll fit in great

so how many more are needed?

Hi Guys

Will you be needing some cheerleaders?

I am sure I can rope in some of the gals to knit a few pom poms!!!

we play every tuesday evening, we're all vets (no not that type of vet), if you want you can pm me with a phone no. & i can get the chap who organizes it to give you a call & maybe arrange a match.

Any chance of this coming into practice?

I am desperate to try and get some fitness back and it would be good to have a regular social activity other than drinking beer!

It needs someone to organize it mate, so if you're volunteering

Well if everyone who has said they would play turns up we have 8 so far, almost enough for a game amongst ourselves.

If arsenal's lads are up for a game that might be something we could look at, but if they've been playing every Tuesday for a while and none of us have played at all for ages, it could be carnage!

nobody's pm'd yet,
i'm sure our lads would be up for a game, i don't think it would be carnage, after all the only decent players we've got are, chopper harris, norm "bites your legs" hunter, tommy "breaks your legs" smith, & jon boy "vinny jones"

& there just the officials

seriously though, if anybody fancy's watching a game, on sunday we have a match against the "bosses" team, he's organized some scouts from gillingham to come & watch the youngsters, so if you want to come & watch we kick off @ 10am.
it's being played at the forza pitches in yeroskipou, come and cheer me on, & introduce yourselves, i'll probally be playing right back, you wont miss me, the good looking one with a bald head.

bit of luck, see you there

I wondered where Stephen Carr had got to!

I would come watch, but am out on Saturday night so 10am Sunday a bit early for me this week - keep us informed on future fixtures though.

do you think you could get a team together/, even if you can only get 7/8, theres always extra players from our side,
if i arranged a fixture for 20/05/08 with a 7.15 kick off, can we have some names below, so we know if it's feezeable,
don't worry about kit, as the centre supplys bibs

count us in,

Chas,

Is that 7.15 am or pm

I'd love to play but at the moment, the only running I'm doing is between the sofa & the toilet, so not sure if I'll be well enough for then but put my name down as a maybe please

Is that 7.15 am or pm?

let me tell you, as far as i'm concerned, there's only 1 7.15 in a day, and that comes 5 minutes after 7.10 in the evening

pete, dont worry, there are toilets on site

if anybody has any mates that can play get them involved,

i'm thinking about organizing a 5-side competition, would anybody be up for that?

Aye, I'll give the 5-a-side a crack - preferable to hauling my unfit a ss around a full size pitch, need to work up to that i reckon!

good news, it will be on a 5-a side pitch,


come on PP get your names down
