Ball goes out of play...
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

After watching some of the pre-season matches I've come up with new idea for speeding the game up. Yes, even at our local level.

If the ball goes out of play, wait for it,  GO AND GET THE BALL!!!  INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR SOME NON-EXISTENT BALL KIDS TO GO AND GET IT FOR YOU!!!


Clever eh? 


First place in the "I'm too precious to go and fetch for myself awards 2009" (so far)  goes to a Stop Out player (NO NAMES!) who indicated that I should go and fetch the ball for him when he was CLOSER to it that I was!!!

The team I played for a few years back had a call called "concrete truck"
If we were ahead with 5 minutes to go and got the call the aim was to then hoof the ball into the concrete business across the road and waited for someone to retrieve it. Two fences to climb.

nightz u cudnt run 50 metres let alone kick it 50 metres. And arent football fields measured in yards? all this "metres" is making me think of rugby. ick.

good to be back nightz! apart from blowing all 2nd half.

Ball boys need to be trained thats for sure, they need to learn not to be offended when we tell them to slow it down (with words to that effect)

easier said than done. I've played a few of my pre-season games in bloody 30-degree temperatures and sometimes I have waited for some player's grandpa to go get me the ball rather than jogging for another 30 meters!

that's clever innit?!

I remember playing in a game once - we were 1-0 down with about 2-3 minutes to go and one of OUR OWN guys put it into a neighbouring street.  Not quite sure what he was trying to achieve.  We lost 1-0.

always tell your ball boys to disappear when you are ahead with not long to go
