Cellar F.C.
 

Today is a glorious day. The funding has been secured, fields have been leased, and the coaching staff has been hired. Well, really he is only one guy and we found him wandering around in a corner of the cellar mumbling something about balls so we are going to assume he is qualified. Either way, today is the formal launch for Cellar Football Club. Cellar F.C. may be young and lacking in some refinements, such as players, equipment, skills, and the like but we are certain that she'll be the finest Football Club virtually anywhere.

Order of business today is to get our initial line up. As this project was started in another thread a couple of positions are already taken but there are plenty of choices left. So step right up and tell me your favorite position.


We'll need each of these positions filled and three subs for the bench.

We also need someone to design our shield, uniforms, and team motto. Our current motto Throw the game or we'll shank you seems to lack something.

Come on people let's get started. Everyone learns, everyone plays, everyone will receive a participation award.

I am soo freakin in - please please please can I play defense????
"Ball or the man NEVER both" is my motto. Usually its the ball, because I took out the man.. :D

I think you're missing a few positions: ROFL, RTFM and STFU

What's the position where you shoot the ball a couple times with a pump shotgun and maybe wrap up someone annoying in the net, leaving them to hang from the top bar of the goal crying like a girl?

I want that one.

Those positions will come into play once the games start, HLJ. Classic, you're in. Be prepared, you may have to move up to Dmid, though. Wolf, you are so IN. Try to use a concealable weapon though.

Come on folks, I really prefer an all volunteer team rather than draftees. The shock collars draftees are fitted with come out of our after game beer budget.

I love playing mid or FB - you can switch me back and forth. Oh, I'm a lefty too. I want LJ as the sweeper!

If LJ wants to play(which I hope he does) I've got my eye on that second forward position. I think having a mr incredible look-alike upfront might intimidate the CB's and keeper. That and I wouldn't trust him behind me. He'd be the type to run by and tug your shorts around your ankles.

good point, make the big guy a forward. He can run over or through the d-backs.

Back during the couple years I played for the school team in high school, the coach would always play me at right striker, and then put me into games (rarely) at halfback.

Hmmm. Well, I can slide the left handed/righteyed mutant to left forward and put good ol' SD into the right striker position then. I assume we won't be having any toe issues?

I am so arrogant that I'll be a player/coach. That means I can slot in as any of the open positions, although I prefer CM or RB.

If middies are all about tenacity, I'd like to nominate Radar, tw, and UG. More hustle than brains... ;)

That could be difficult. In my team structures the Mids must have excellent situational awareness, true understanding of the other team's strengths as well as their weaknesses, and above all an immense amount of flexibility. ;)

I'm in.

Is there a position where you can just kind of sit around and not be too aggressive?

not aggressive as in running away from the game or don't want to attack forward but i won't let anyone by me?
