If he's got a slipped disc,he'll be out for months, forget him, find a new person to replace him forever.

Did you play well enough to compensate for your own goal?

I used to run an outdoor 5-a-side team, rotating subs from a squad of 7.

The ideal number is 6, but I usually ended up with 5 or 7. It was a real pain - a couple of weeks I had 8 players and had to diplomatically sit myself out.

The problem extends to Sunday football too. Two weeks ago we were 2nd in the league, then we comfortably won a cup match 3-0.
A week later we had to travel 25 miles away to face the same team in the league and lost 7-0 in drizzle and wind off the North Sea. Of course only having 10 men didn't do us any favours.
4 players didn't turn up on the day - the goalkeeper later claimed he had fallen down some stairs.

I'm hoping to enter a team in the 'soccersixes' indoor league for the winter - oddly two of my regular players have said that they aren't interested in indoor football!

It's the snowball of the fill-ins that's annoying me at the moment.

A few people dropped out a couple of months ago through genuine injury and one of the lads invited some mates to bump up the numbers. Then they started turning up every week, even after players came back. No one seems to have the balls to tell them not to show up and no doubt we'll need them again before the summer.

At worst we were playing 10 v 10 on a 7 a side astroturf pitch. It was like being back at school, 3-4 people going for one ball.

I'm playing 2 five a side games tonight.

Outdoors for work league from 6-7pm.

Then indoors from 9-10pm.

Needless to say that I am a wreck by the time I get home.

We play in the London Powerleague nearish Old Street and Liverpool St Tube stations, we always seem to be struggling for players.

It's been even worse this season, we've been promoted and so far we've played two out of six games as either us or the other side haven't maanged to get a team together.

Doesn't help our games are scheduled anytime between 5:45 and 9:30, at least a bit of bloody consistancy would be nice.
