Yes, the Sunday standard isn't very good, mainly because amongst the one or two decent players, there are a lot of people playing to have a run around - or because they are not good enough for competitive football.
My best man (who plays) used to be the worst player I'd ever played with, for example, though last time I played with him he'd got much better. His girlfriend also plays sometimes.
There are, though, one or two good players who I've asked to join my football team (it never really works unless you know them well).

calm down calm down - this is not the drugs forum!
Works football tourno - pre tourno was usual state - like Gazza before the 1991 cup final....too tense.
Started in defence - was marking some tricky Italian forward - he was ok - I thought get a decent tackle in there - see if he fancies it - won the ball - he started grabbing my shirt etc - so I put my arm out - accidently hit him with arm in his neck - the geezer carries on like he's at deaths door....
The ref buys it and gives a free kick - they score...I pushed up further up field had a chance - goal bound shot - some bloke puts his arm up - penalty and red card - ref does fuck all - I kick off at the ref. He gives a corner - I go up to the keeper and stand on his toes etc - the ref gives fuck all - the keeper goes balistic - relahni exits the scene.
Relahni then decides a pint might be a good idea - then realises that it wasn't so volunteers to be manager for a game - gives the lads tactics - comes on for the last five mins - we beat the team 1-0! Hoorah!
Then they decide to put me up front for the final game - I'm pissed by then but still fancy it. I make a great run
A threaded pass and it's only the keeper to beat - I look up and the keeper is sprinting to fuck towards me - I see the gap and want to wallop the ball into it - lots of back lift - bang - hit the ball - whoops - it's all wrong - a skewed tee shot - keeper clatters into me at speed - studs first.....fortunately, my embarrasement of kicking the ball into the next field narrowly missing a cow is replaced with genuine concern for my leg.
later in the game - I beat this defender - cross the ball and we score -
I then beat the same defender - get fouled - I kick off - we score.
I again beat the defender easily - he gets fucked off and kicks my thigh - I fall on the floor - get off and kick off moodily......
My work mates are seeing a new side to me etc.....
I decide getting heavily pissed is the only way to erase this day and did pretty well at that!
But the moral of the day is chill man - you can't play football too tense!

I'm not really sure.. but apparently some famous footballer had one once... so he feels like quite a hero... basically it means he can't walk properly on it after playing!!!
He's getting it treated at the moment and gave up footy for a while but was getting utterly miserable not being able to play.. he still plays on Weds nights in Ferndale and I know he'd be up for more at the weekend or an U75 team if there's one happening...

Yeah, I'd be well up for it, I'm playing most sundays bar the odd Adrian Mutu sesh. We have good games most sundays, some really good players there.
Weekday evenings would be good for me, weekends are busy enough as it is.

with breaks from midfield.
There is no doubt that you have to play one up front if the pitches are the size of last year. There's no particular width to speak of, and so it's gotta be a narrow formation. Playing 3 across the pitch in any position is too many.
I'd suggest a sweeper. Two centre backs. Two in midfield and someone up front who can hold the ball up. If there is someone quick and nippy, I think they should play in midfield.
Who is going to pick the team though? When that's decided, organising training and so on can happen easier. It'll be ad hoc otherwise.

indeed we did, but you're too good with your head to take free kicks.

Naw, we had one up front to hold up the ball last time and it just didn't work, we got thrashed in midfield.

I score the majority of my goals from free kicks - but I don't take them if they're not in scoring distance (which with those goals they are possibly not).
