Gimp Central Football Club (NSR)
As can be seen on my profile, I have claimed the sweeper spot. I figure that my experience and elephantine presence would be an asset there. I'm sure that there are other soccer threads on this board, but I've notice that there are many soccer mags especially in Gimp Central. So why not put together a squad? Tyrone Soelaces, I figure you for a central middie type, shoelaces always tied etc. Scoober, mybe a rangy striker with good shielding ability and a quick first step? Who else? I really need to use my time more wisely .

Heh. Good stuff, I was just thinking about how I want to play again.
Right mid or center marking back/stopper with a warrant to make runs upfield. Rangy is right, the coaches always used to recognize that I can run all over the place and made me do so. Recently, playing corporate indoor I'm usually setting up plays from defense.
I am a terrible striker because I for some reason have never had the ability to play with my back to the goal. I have no turn whatsoever.
So which whack job around here plays keeper?As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

Put me down for center mid/stopper/hack/shittalker. I'm game for hard tackles, in fact, they are my favorite part of the game. Nothing like a hard tackle where the other guy takes a digger over your leg and you sprint away with the ball, especially when the motherfucker has been shittalking you for 5 minutes.

I'm in for all purpose player, but specialize at outside back who likes to make offensive runs. And back in the day I had a decent throw in that can be used in the attacking third.

Awesome, It's coming together! But it looks like a volitile bunch. We still need a keeper, Lego Skier? And I'm looking for a Thierry Henry (Arsenal/France) type for striker. Vinman, how long a throw are we talking? The eighteen, goal box, or can you whip it far post? I don't want you pushing up unless Tyrone's gonna be ready to get back on a long clearance.

I'm not in the fully gimped category (nor have I played much recently), but I had some decent skills as a fullback and have been pulled into Goalie on occasion.

Used to be able to hit penalty spot maybe a bit past depending on the field width. No so much anymore but could get most of it back with some practice.fighting gravity on a daily basis

i played keeper for years but broke my wrist twice and cant do it anymore. ive been a back ever since. either right or center.. either works.. and like char i like to play physical: hard tackles, jersey pulling, elbows up and down the field... i think intimidation is one of the best ways to take a player out of the game. i love the physical aspect!!! (but that doesnt mean im a one-dimensional player. i can still play clean soccer). and i never take physical play to the point where it will fuck our team over and get stupid calls... however i have been known to knock a guy out with an elbow when he was charging the box on a corner, and i once made a guy piss blood from a couple stiff fists to the kidney after a very dirty tackle that put permanent scars on my knee from metal cleats (so it was payback)....
... and i cant play forward.. i get lost up there....
P.S. im not a part of gimp central (knock on wood) so this may be useless but i figure 1 healthy player might help out the team, and i too miss soccerMom! The meatloaf! FUCK!.

Looks like we have the makings of an aggressive, attacking style team. I prefer a possession style of play, but with our personel, I'm thinking we'll set up a 4-3-3, and carge ahead ala Aston Villa. We still need goal scorers, though.
