We all said it earlier lads, but I wanted to say it again to make it clear:

WE ALL DID THE NORTH PROUD TODAY.

You can't win it every year, and given the circumstances- players down, people kindly stepping up at the last minute, being a goal down and losing our 'keeper and running out of subs 5 minutes in, 3-1 at half time (there were LOTS of circumstances!), we played an absolute stormer to keep the score so close. It really could have gone either way in the last 10 minutes, and if it wasn't for the great opposition I'm sure we'd've won.

We conducted ourselves well and were gracious in defeat. Well done.

One last thing, you'll mostly hate it being fans of rival clubs, but some words of hope and encouragement for you all from Gerry and the Pacemakers:

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
and the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain,
tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
and you'll never walk alone,
you'll never walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
and you'll never walk alone,
you'll never walk alone.

[Pud]

Yes, well done boys. We'll get the cup back next year.

[Gold Joinee Spaca-Sweeney(GA)]

[Joinee Rufous]

I appear to be unable to walk this morning.

Cheers for a great match with a top atmosphere, folks.

I'd just like to congratulate whoever came out with "MARK HITLER!" at one of our corners.
"Mark" is now Warren's official nickname as far as I'm concerned.

[GJ Drought]

What a game!

thanks the north and south and all the fans and cheerleaders for possibly the most fun ive had in a game of football! (albiet the only one ive played since i was a kid!)

sorry to anyone i booted accidentally... and sorry to those i not so accidentally tackled!!

though we lost.. i still think we played an excellent game against a team who clearly had some skills!

and Worm.... had it not been for you're stirling effort... the rest of the north would be hanging their heads deeply!! you sir... are a legend!

thanks cheerleaders for some inspiring chants

and to all of those who today are suffering with stiffness and cramp!.... i'm not :D



and WHOOOOT I SCORED!!!!!?!?!!?!

[Joinee Goldy]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA (like you were expecting anything less from me)

[G J Katie]

Well done folks and folkettes, it was very gracious of my fellow monkeys to let the southern pansies win!

It was much fun!


I hope Jamies knee recovers soon... I hope it's back on form soon Jamie, don't forget that it takes lots of tlc, beer, tea, ice cream and other good things to make a knee injury better!


I'm off now to make pom poms for 2008

[Pud]

list of things to take to GGF5

1. Things to throw at Goldy.

[HRH Gold Joinee Sheli]

2> More propaganda

[Platinum Joinee West]

the cheerleading efforts were superb, only maybe next year, less F words in a park within yelling distance of a children's playground??

[Joinee Varwell]

What a great match that was, played with great spirit. Thanks to all the players, ref, cheerleaders, supporters, and orange and ice providers!

[Chairman 'Jamin]

Things for next year cont'd

1. Support for team south, to include Kit, Water, Half time provisions, Chearleaders, heart and soul, etc.
2. Full kit for team North to include warm up kit
3. More water - team north avaraging 1.5 ltrs per man over the course of the game.
4. Full first aid kit, to include vasaline, etc.
5. Paramedic support and match stewards to deal with the more riotus members of the supporters.
6. Better sponser
7. Pre agreed media coverage (serious)

[Thomas]

To avoid the crowd trouble from this year's event it should be all ticket too. At least £1 to watch, thus making money for charidy.

[HJCotW Spacemonkey]

Weren't we supposed to be passing the bucket round at half time? Nowhere else on EARTH would you get to watch that kind of quality for free!

[HRH Gold Joinee Sheli]

Tom.. What crowd trouble?! We were perfectly well behaved

[PJ Wopunga (GA)]

Apart from when two people ran onto the pitch to try and drag Gatsey off after he came back on

[Thomas]

Ok so maybe there wasn't any crowd trouble, but we can at least make money off the match that way.

The footy has a lot of scope to be made into something more- we should blatently have sacked off 'Spoons breakfast and had a massive pitchside BBQ instead. I shall rally the Jamins and see if we can do that next year...

I'm from North Yorkshire, don'tcha know! More Northern than you, probably, though not as posh.

Has one never seen 'The Karate Kid'? *sigh*

I just gave you some useful training advice. Sort of.

[Thomas]

You're not from North Yorkshire, you're from London, in a street near that giant fibreglass cat I believe.

And I'm not posh, I'm pretentious and stuck up. There's a difference.

And the Karate Kid was "wax on, wax off," wasn't it? I shan't be waxing anything before next year's football thankyou.

[Joinee WEG]

Damn, I got my quote wrong. *is ashamed*

Well, washing is better than waxing.

Yes, I live near the scary thing but I hail from the North, though yes. Blah. Meh. Anyway, can't there b,e a rounders match?

*scuttles away*

Don't worry, Del, I don't sound like a Northern wench. Hee hee!

[Thomas]

ROFL what a brilliant idea! The girls can all play rounders and we'll watch for a change! Or netball maybe...

They could play before or after the football. Rounders would probably be easier to arrange (no court to sort out)

[Thomas]

Yeah but netball man, NETBALL! The skirts, the jumping...

I tried to get a North v South kabaddi match at JOINverness last year, but it didn't quite happen. Maybe this year!

We used to play Kabaddi at school.. not officially of anything.. but it was great... I'd be well up for that.. I may be quite short.. but I'll take you all on.

[G J Katie]

Hmm... I think adding bats to the equation would make any north v south match dangerous. Rounders may not work. Netball could though but I shall still be cheering as I'm rubbish at things like rounders.

I can play netball - even with my slight tendancy to waddle rather than run,

*is worried to see the lengths The Norf will go to to try and find something they can win at*
