It was with a pang of great nostalgia that I read through the guesbook comments this afternoon. Hassy's tolerance of womens umpires (or should that be women umpires) clearly improved little over the season which followed his initial comments below, to the extent that his captain was sent off for the first time in a hockey career spanning 2 millennia.
Hassy and sympathisers will be pleased to know that said woman/womens umpire will be moonlighting for our local derby tonight.

Even before the last game is played I would like to congratulate 2nd place Karen Barker on winning the fantasy league. - From looking at the teams Chris has no 1XI players in the team so would score no further points, Karen on the other hand has Scotty... I believe therefore she is only one short Corner away from the title! - have you any transfers left Mr Club Chairman?!?!?

It was with much distress I read the Mens 5ths match report by Bond...Peter Bond when I read that members of the 5ths including Ben Willis do not throw aerials to their team mates but infact throw Ariel from the Little Mermaid to each other to whack about with their hockey sticks!! I am sure many of our youth teams members would shed tears if they knew this and I am sure Ariels little purple sea shells that cover her lady parts were in a bad state after such brutality!!!

Hassy you will def have to get some tape that umpiring was quite decent compared to what we are usually subjected to! Wait to we go to some clubs who will remain unamed were you beat your player then she throws her stick in on the wrong side and from about a foot behind you and the umpire shouts play on! Also Bex is without doubt the most fouled player in Senior 1!

I thought Jimmy's umpiring was good, but the umpiring in the ladies 1st friendly last weekend was just ridiculous........I think I need to buy some duct tape and a few copies of the rules for the season ahead.

Due to a shed clearance I have a Hoover Compact 300 Flymo electric lawnmower which is surplus to requirements. It has been used for 3 of its 4 years of age and is in good order. It could probably do with a new blade but these are easily available. It's free to the first Club member who contacts me.

Thankyou,

Sorry Whytey, but i must correct ur assessment of Jonny's pre-game ritual... u forgot to mention that although he only uses GHDs for his hair... (which he assures us all are "just great for gettin that wispy look") that to save money, probably to buy more moisturiser, he shares his sister's pair... o to be a fly on the wall when they have a girly bitch fight in the morning over who uses them first!!!

In emotional scenes, before the seconds game last week, Mocky passed on his crown to Jonny Moore. Jonny now has claim to the title of metrosexual of the year and has the changing spot in front of the mirror reserved for him. Mocky still tries his best but could not compete with Jonny's grooming regime of:
Look in mirror
Dye hair (purple)
Look in mirror
Apply John Frieda heat protection serum
Look in mirror
Straighten hair (GHD's only)
Look in mirror
Apply John Frieda hairspray for fly away control
Look in mirror
Moisturise
Look in mirror
Ready to play hockey
Look in mirror
Jonny is ready to defend his title against all comers as long as they promise not ruffle his hair.

Unfortunately Andy there has always been, unbelievably, a "hand size" qualification for "metrosexual" international hockey matches which runs alongside the "stick size ring" test we are so used to. Even trying to qualify Mocky through grandparentage for the "International Clowns" team failed as his feet were too small.

On behalf of the Shy Teds I would like to say what an unjust news article! If we had not won who would it have been if I remember right Andy Forrest and Steven McGimpseys teams were 2nd and 3rd both of whom used mobile phones heavily therefore the masses would still be upset at the result and by masses I mean old people who dont know how to make full use of their phones haha! Also I would like to say I forgot to take my prize home at the table quiz (outside influences my have played a part in this) and spent a large part of my evening selling ballots so I am clearly innocent all round!!

I see the guestbook is a bit dead so I have just come on to say Mitchy for all the slabbering you did before the Fantasy started you are not giving me much of a challenge. Moorfield "Stars"?? "Strugglers" might be better. The Albion are creeping up the table rightly watch this space and to my very own house mate, Marathon not a sprint Jordan!! You heard it hear first!!

Mr Whyte, that is indeed a good educated guess. Just about their era!
I unfortunately do not have the answer. I was hoping someone could shed some light on the matter??

21/08/2009
Sam,
Would the first person sent off have been Jimmy P with one of his slightly mistimed sliding tackles. And the other person Mocky for his calm, reasoned reaction to a controversial umpiring decision. Both would have been playing around the time.

Which 2 members of NDHC were suspended for life from playing hockey in Ulster for unacceptable behaviour? The incident was against Bangor on 15th May 1906. The guilty parties were not allowed to play or umpire, and no club could play with them or against them, under threat of suspension. The Chronicle did not specify what happened, nor name the parties.
Interesting........

I recieved this from the Cedar founation:
The Cedar Foundation is a local charity in Belfast working with disabled people. We are organising an event called ZORBING in which we are looking for teams of 8+ to enter.
ZORBING is a new event where you are inside an inflatable ball. The ball then rolls down hill and the experience only finishes when you reach the bottom. This event is brand new to Northern Ireland and so is very exciting for all involved.
We are not officially launching the event until the 1st of June, however we are giving sports clubs like you a head start in getting involved. The fee to participate in this event is normally £20 to register and a further £80 sponsorship, however we will give those who register early a special offer of half price registration. We do require that the form is returned in this case no later than the 19th of June.
If you think that you would be interested in participating in this event please could you give us a call on 02890-666188

James...it is exactly because I'm running 26 miles that I couldn't play hockey (feel free to insert jokes about never having been able to pay Hockey!). As for the knees....Ole's knees would be in better shape than mine
|

By Jim Patterson
01/05/2009
Brucie, ...... looks like you're doing the marathon on Monday. So how come you can run 26 miles but aren't able to play hockey. Seems strange to me. Good luck anyway. Hope your knees hold out better than your photo doppleganger!

Now, now kids. Enough of this petty football squabbling. Sam is just upset that those little blue scallies stole the wheels of the Liverpool bus in the fourth round while they let the Manchester bus get to Wembley before doing the same. And that, as Rafa would say, is FACT. I find it is always best to keep the abuse to the end of the season when all the trophies are making their way to Old Trafford. Clarkie, Brucey - be patient and let the scousers get all giddy and excited. Its just nice to see them making a challenge for the title after all these years....and years....and years...

Told you Brucie... the wheels are off. The dirty half of scouseland just put the FA Cup up on bricks. 30 million pounds for that muppet and he hits a penalty like that. At least we did the decent thing and let our mutli million flop go back to London
