BRFC shirts - UPDATE

OK, i ordered them tonight, will probably get the confirmation tomorrow.
So far we ordered:

DARK BLUE POLO SHIRTS
Name - Number - Size
RIBS - 2 - Medium
MINI - 3 - Medium
CANADIAN - 4
HEDDERZ - 7 - Large
PIGGY - 8 - Large
SHIRVAN - 9 - Medium
GIMPY - 11
Dr HOLLAND - 13 - X large
RASCLE - 16 - X large
ANTON - 27 - Medium

DARK BLUE T-SHIRT x 1
PIE - 5 - X large


TODDLER 18 MONTH DARK BLUE TEE
LAURA - 16 - 18 months old.

We can order bellies next week when he's back off holiday. Need to wait for price, but its probably not much change from £20 per shirt. But the company do football shirts. and we dont need to pay initial set up then. so we can get proper BRFC shirts made in the future if we want.

Thats all folks!

Nike.

I challenge anyone to find any useful information on Nike on the interweb and specifically the Nike First Touch 5-a-side astro boots that I have. This is probably Russ's domain as he salivates over Nike!

It is impossible to find a Nike product description, or a site that may be loosely linked to it!!

Review pages or anything.

A prize is available for anyone who aides my quest for knowlegde.

Fly my pretties....

BRFC shirts.

Ok, not that anyone visits here anymore, but these are the designs i'm submitting to around 3 t-shirt makers, just to make sure the quote they gave me covers this style. I dont want them to print tiny "bramhall rangers on tour" letters on the front, as they look crappy otherwise on holiday pics! this way we can keep up the sections where we have pictures of us wearing the t-shirts! I'm ordering the shirts probably on wednesday. That gives us 3 days to get your size, number and name to me. Dont forget to get me your girlfriends size number and name too. AND whether they want a pink shirt or not. So far Ann-Marie is the only one confirmed as having a pink one. And john is the only one confirmed as wanting a t-shirt. Please let me know if you want a t-shrt, as i guess we can order them. And it may save you £2 or so. Otherwise it will be a polo, as the polo's last time proved to last longer!



I will mention is again at the pub on monday, and quote you prices on tuesday or wednesday. Tho expect around £20. I will obviously find a good quote!!

Bramhall Rangers 9 - 10 Northern Canaries

Better late than never! Xbox launch and Xbox tournament came between me and doing the stats! God how the Xbox is beginning to take over my life!! Heh heh!

Anywho, on with the stats. So much fun continually losing..

0-1 02:43 - Shiz takes free kick, to moni, mini has poor touch, loose ball is cannoned in past john.
0-2 03:34 - Keeper rolls to piggys man, who is unmarked. Justins guy gets away from him and stirkes first time from the resulting pass.
0-3 03:50 - Piggy losses ball in a tackle, as he was too weak. Guy runs down wing, gets round justin to slot to shiz's man who gains an inch of space and shoots.
1-3 06:58 - Keepers roll intercepted by Justin, who goes past one, quick pass to mini, who passes back to justin, and scores.
1-4 09:38 - Striker receives back from justins block, walks round a slow Rick, and sneaks the slot under john.
2-4 09:50 - Justin scores from the kick off.
3-4 20:55 - Mini takes free kick to shiz, who passes to justin who scores.
4-4 21:45 - Shiz passes to piggy who's shot is saved. He takes the rebound, turns the defender, and scores.
5-4 23:18 - Justin passes to Piggy, who shoots well wide. Mini collects teh rebound and scores.
5-5 27:10 - Ball passed to Rascle, who loses ball in tackle. He doesnt run back and mini cant cover in time before striker scores.
5-6 28:27 - Guy takes shot at john, who saves with a parry. But rebound is scored over him.
6-6 34:06 - Mini scores a rascle-trick! He tackles the attacker, the loose ball rolls to keeper who somehow spills it into his own net!
7-6 40:32 - Shiz intercepts pass, runs it upfield, and strikes the ball well into the net.
8-6 43:40 - Big rick passes to Justin, through to mini, who slots in the shot.
8-7 44:25 - Striker shoots goalward, but ball hits big rick and deflects in.
8-8 45:10 - Big Rick takes the free kick badly, and striker scores from the loose ball.
9-8 46:15 - Justin takes poor opposition pass, passes to mini, who slots past keeper.
9-9 47:15 - Piggy loses ball in tackle, Rick isnt near his man, ball is passed to his man, and easily scores past john.
9-10 48:15 - Ricks guy puts through ball goalwards, and shiz doesnt see his guy run behind him and scores from within the area.

49:47 full time.

Justin had 15 shots, 2 assists and 3 goals.
Mini had 18 shots, 1 assist and 4 goals.
Piggy had 19 shots, 1 assist and 1 goal.
Shiz had 8 shots, 2 assists and 1 goal
Rascle had 1 shot, NO assists and NO goals.
Big Rick had 7 shots, NO assists and NO goals.

Opposition had 58 shots to our 68 shots.
Mini slipped or fell over 8 times.

All in all I feel i had a good match. apart from that goal! I blocked about 4 shots, and i did run my little socks off. Yet again there was the usual crap subbing at the end. Tho i guess all our "heroes" can win a match SOME day by doing this..

Ah well, can't win them all. Next match is 8:30 Vs puss in boots.


Rascle opta index.

xbox tournament!

Well, we managed to scrape together 6 players for this tournament! Dr H, Mini, Hedderz, Pie, Piggy, and Rascle.

4 games, 12 minutes each in length. First off we lost 3-0! Embaressing point came from myself!!! I tried to square to keeper and missed! cheers from the audience grew louder when i did it a second AND third time!!! I blame the cold i have at the moment! my co-ordination is out!

Second match had a 14 yr old tiny guy in nets, who we subsequently found was a shit keeper. and still, we lost 3-1! Mini man scoring the precious precious goal! They only had 4 players to begin! shocking! This was to be pie's last game in goal!!

3rd match was against a good team who we'd been chatting with for a while! And we'd had banter with them. An even match that we were unlucky to lose 1-0. Pie had a SPECTACULAR dive! almost like superman but without the flying!!! seismic activity was registered higher in the local area.

And finally we played the table leaders, who were very good. We had a goal disallowed as i'd cross it when the ball was in the box! And i got frustrated at one guy that had come in heavy on me, so i swung round and sweeped both his legs out from under him after he'd turned away with the ball. Luckily there wasnt a booking!!! We lost that 4-1 i think. Or maybe 5-1. We gave up counting. Lots of them play for cheadle town and other clubs. Pie scored the elusive goal, and a good goal it was. Which was greeted with a banshee-esque miniman in goal yelling in jubilation! Tho we feel his follow up of "easy! easy!" was probably not well founded!!!

All in all, fun was had by all, tho it descended to madness at the end when piggy proved he knows little aout 5-a-side. That, and the fact he's a wimp and won't get the ball off someone doing kick ups when its our free kick...

Other tit-bits included pie letting in back to back goals through his legs. Piggy being fouled, and doing a huge 360 on the floor to stand up! Possibly longer than john's "erections" from ground! Mini's boots grip was strangely absent from the pitch again.. Although there WAS too much sand on the pitch which was killing our grip!!

I know its a repost, but new stuff on there. highlights of slim jims up as well as a brief end of season montage of all the crap things we do! we scored 33 goals that we filmed, so i have those on a VCD. Although video quality on some of the goals leaves a lot to be desired. But i shall send it on the rounds anyway. its about 7:30 long.

The montage is a zipped DIVX as usual.

I've added all of last seasons match reports and stats (go to the History section then click the link for Season #1). I've also updated the Matches section to show this seasons fixtures and added the table to the League section.

Update: Added Hed's match report for the last game. If anyone writes a report in the future can they add some HTML formatting to make it easier for it to be added to the site. Cheers.
