Anyone here play?

or Indoor Soccer?

Just how much pain have i let myself in for by signing up for this. (30 year old who hasn't seriously exercised in 12 months)

Should i make sure i have life insurance?


socks  said about 4 years ago:

I used to play in a mixed league, but it was always full of crazy boys booting each other in the head and being really rough and competitive. Good exercise, though.


nicko_mcbrain  said about 4 years ago:

"competitive."

wow, go figure...

i can understand your aversion to the rough, but - the two don't have to go hand in hand.


TopherPlus  said about 4 years ago:

Yeah, mine is a mixed comp, bu tin my team its the girls who are most likely to crack skulls.

One is married to a former professional boxer (champion of australia in his division) and has a real competitive streak. Our game plan is to get her to snap enough of the oppositions ankles whilst looking angelic so that we can win by default.


nicko_mcbrain  said about 4 years ago:

i would love to get back into this, but i haz a dicky left knee. i can manage kick arounds in a park, but that's about it.

is there anywhere plebs and dickheads can played without getting trashed by muzzas? my team 'models inc' were once semi finalists in an indoor competition. of course most of the time we were up against prepubescent boys or guys who got drunk at the K.Flat hotel before coming to play


TopherPlus  said about 4 years ago:

I'll report back on the muzza quotient next week (assuming i survive)

Our dutch inspired team (Clockwork Oranje) will sweep all before it with Total Futsal.


nicko_mcbrain  said about 4 years ago:

great team name! some friends of ours were Dinamo Bikelamp. other favourites were Fake Madrid and Deportivo La Shite.


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

Alright - just put in an application with futsal oz.

Hopefully we get a team up and running soon.

And if we're running short, I'll be looking for fill-ins on here.

Be warned.


ghostofbarry  said about 1 year ago:

Brunswick fishandfinger? If it's Mondays I might be playing against you.

My team's called Interrupta Bastardo.


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

Well, in the comments section of our form I put 'V. Low skill level.' So he said probably Div 4 or 5. Zing. But we gotta wait for a team to drop out, which I'm imagining would be pretty uncommon. Fingers crossed, though.

Also, I can't believe I had to come up with a team name on the spot. I was forced to pick one from a documentary I watched the other night. 'Penguin Death Zone.'


kazpatafta  said about 1 year ago:

I'd be keen if you end up needing players


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

Noted!


ghostofbarry  said about 1 year ago:

Teams come and go fishfinger, might be sooner than you think. I might be able to play the odd game too, as long as it's not against my team.

Penguin Death Zone is far superior to most of the other team names, believe me.


filterfeed  said about 1 year ago:

i'd play just to play in a team named that.

if i knew what futsal was, that is.


MrsGideon  said about 1 year ago:

Any chance it's a mixed team? I miss futsal.


filterfeed  said about 1 year ago:

perhaps we should start a mixed chatty team, seems to be enough interest in this thread. i need an excuse for some kind of activity.


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

i'd be interested in that as well.

MrsGideon, unfortunately, it's a mens team as I don't know any women, and the women I do know walk out on me

BAM


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

I'd be in on a mixed team. I'd love to play futsal or indoor soccer, despite my complete lack of fitness.


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

holy shit.

something is a-brewin


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

We are all Melbourne, right?

trueschoolalumni  said about 1 year ago:

Probably missed the boat on this one, but happy to help out if you need players. The proximity makes it easy for me. Still playing outdoor, but preseason at the moment is all running, no kicking the ball = boredom.

Plus I have a collection of hideously awful 80s soccer tops that should have the opposition collapsing with laughter.


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

Take That? But they haven't been popular since 1995.

Fine then, I'll get stoned beforehand. Then we'll see who's lazier!


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

Plus I have a collection of hideously awful 80s soccer tops that should have the opposition collapsing with laughter.

I vote YES!


Actionralf  said about 1 year ago:

can I play too?

I mostly have a fucked foot most of the time, but I can be there to make the rest of you look real good


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

Fine then, I'll get stoned beforehand. Then we'll see who's lazier!

You can be number 420. Can our colour be black? I already have black.


kazpatafta  said about 1 year ago:

Can our team be named The John Pantsil Lap of Honour?


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

can I play too?

Fuck yeah.

You can be number 420

Fuck yeah! (or 00, I like 00)

The John Pantsil Lap of Honour

Fuck yeah. (I'm easy, it should just be awesome or humorous)


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

PS: I don't know who John Pantsil is, I just figured I should go the trifecta of *fuck yeah*s.

Hey, so what's our headcount? All who are in say something!



Sunnyboyz  said about 1 year ago:

he is fucking awesome.


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

Sweet. What a champ.


fishandfingerpie  said about 1 year ago:

Craven Cottage looks like a nice place to watch football.


hughsie  said about 1 year ago:

i play in the Sunday futsal life league.


dj  said about 1 year ago:

Any room left in that Nth Fitzroy team?


moo-core  said about 1 year ago:

Probably. What's the limit on players? I say anyone who wants in, gets in. We should probably start a new thread to organise this shit and get it going.


ohhelena  said about 1 year ago:

I would love to tack myself onto the end of this team... only problem is I really don't live northside melbs! Though I love to head northside melbs. I

played outdoor for bout ten years, but haven't really had exercise in the past two years; i am shit,
but BONUS POINTS: I AM LEFT-FOOTED


King_Rat  said about 1 year ago:

Having two left feet doesn't count.

I small word of warning for your team. Don't get too many people. It's shit for the team and for yourself if you feel obligated to sub off and any groove you get on the pitch is lost when the rotations are so high.

If you don't give a fuck then be my guest. I am just saying.


hughsie  said about 1 year ago:

for futsal the most you need for any game is seven. one guy and one girl sub. any more than that and like king_rat says you'll end up never getting any rhythm on court. if you dont have a perma-goalie then you can lose the guy sub and just rotate through keeper.


ghostofbarry  said 17 days ago:

I'm thinking of moving my team from Futsal Oz Brunswick. Really patchy quality of referees and some uber-physical dickheads playing in some other teams.

So do Futsal for Life run a good set of comps?

We need a goalie by the way, PM me if you're interested.


kuvasz  said 13 hours ago:

I play for futsal for life. It is relaxed and friendly Locations in Fitzroy, Footscray and Carlton. Mens and mixed. If you are a total dickhead they kick you out of the league. The refs are friendly. Another plus is that Killer Pythons are for sale.

I think with Futsal Oz Brunswick they can be pretty harsh if your team don't have a matching uniforms, you lose two goals. Otherwise i have enjoyed playing here.

My team is annoying me. I wanna play more games.
