Icarus FC Summer Team BuildingAll,
My lovely girlfriend (I have to say that, she is watching me type!) has suggest a summer, close season day out which I think is a damn sterling suggestion.
How about a jaunty day out at Alton Towers????????
We could stay over in the mess at RAF Stafford the evening before for a couple of cheeky G&T's or Pimms which would set us up quite nicely for the 20miles journey to AT the day after.
Let me know what you think. Partners welcome, not date set yet.
Toodle pip and Icarus HO!!

GRRRRREAT IDEA!I think Arnie has hit the nail on the head!
Would be a great way for us all to keep 'tight' over the close season break, and give us a chance to have a few cheeky ones together (Arnie/Greg, don't worry i won't get so merry this time....).
Well up for it, yessssss!
GET EM ALL!
ICARUS HOOOOOOOOO!

Not happy about Ben wanting "a few cheeky ones"!
Lets get it on.......
Who is the Ice Man, show yourself!

My missus has no more days holiday so it would have to be a weekend!
Get Him!!!
Icarus HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Good Dates?Good news,
Even at this early stage it looks like their will be enough of us to do the old Alton Towers thing!
So, first things second, we need to set a provisional date.
Fran and I are free the following weekends (school term ends 20 Jul):
2/3, 9/10, 30 Jun (and 1 Jul)
7/8 Jul
4/5, 11/12 Aug
I suggest the Aug dates as it will be a nice start to the new season and it means Fran and I can have a leisurely drive up on Fri as she will be finished school.
How about 4/5 Aug? Of course this is flexible if it is a problem with anyone else. I reckon a trg weekend on one of the jul dates also sounds good (John!)

Yes!Yes, YES and YES!
I'm looking forward to it already, Oh and we haven't even been on tour yet!
Get em ALL!
ICARUS HOOOOOOOO!
Fishman......
Arnie Aug date sounds like a winner, as my girlie will be at school too, (She is a teacher before anyone starts to go down that road!).

Jim

Sounds good to me but then again, i'm clearly not the one that makes the decisions.
I don't think we are doing anything so bring on the haunted house!

Decision Making RulesJimbo,
Do not be concerned about not making the decisions, it's for your own good afterall. We know you have a hard enough time counting up all that Accounts money with your fingers........1, 2, 4, 7, we don't want to put you under any extra pressure, the goals might dry up!
As for the legend who wears No 8, I thought that was Gazza? Still, it wouldn't be surprising if we cought you crying like a baby if Fishman overtook you on the goals chart.......not that it is likely to happen (Fishman still counts half goals a la Si Hays!)
Get him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ho!
|
Jim
|
That's a fair point mate. I would cry if he overtook me with proper goals but none of this half goal rubbish!!! That's just blatent cheating.
I like to think I make the decisions, it makes me feel better but you all are in the same baot and know full well you do not have a say in the matter!!!
Gazza has nothing on me by the way!

STOP THE PRESS!Boys, boys
Let's not get carried away now.
Firstly, Arnie I'm afraid to say that I am going to diregard all comments made by you, with regards to the art of goal scoring!
Now fans, before you start a Fishman backlash, you might want to log onto the Icarus Stats page and see just how insignificant Mr Arnison's finishing has contributed, towards the impressive Icarus goals tally (Since time began).
Arnie, that may seem a little harsh mate, but are you honestly telling me, and the press, that IF you had have converted, what seemed like THE unmissable chance, against Bromley Vets, you would have only counted that goal (your ONLY goal), as a half? I think not old bean.........
Right then 'The legend that wears number 8', whilst I love your entheusiasm for "getting em all", I am not so keen to start a goal scoring competition between you and I. Sure I know I have scored a few insignificant goals this year against teams such as the RAF RT, and such like, however I take great pride in giving you the confidence to 'bomb on' during fixtures, leaving me to defend for you. I am more than happy to sit in front of the back four for 90 minutes, picking up the loose ends, the goals are just a bonus!
Quite funny actually that as an offensive (not in the bad language kind of way) midfielder, you actually see ME, the holding midfielder a real threat to your goal scoring crown! Bless.
GET ALL OF AND I MEAN ALL OF THEM!
ICARUS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I don't know this banter can't be good for team moral, then again, sod it and lets continue!
You know Fishman that we as a club are still trying to develop you as a player and therefore I feel it is my obligation to test you occasionally byseeming like I have deserted you in the midfiel. Facing diversity head on is the only way you will learn to be a truely great player. You know that when push comes to shove I will always be there watching your back and with my blistering pace I can always get back and bail you out when the pressure of holding that midfield together just gets that little bit too much!
Now Arnie, although I appreciate that you were on my side in the half goal slagging, I have to agree with the Fishman, your comments shouldn't count. How anyone, regardless of position cannot score in their entire Icarus career is beyond me!!!
Oh, and Fishman, just remember the goal you scored against 2MT obviously slightly deflected off the back of my head and therefore I should claim it, but being the nice kind gentlemen I am, I will let you have it.
Dear all, remember it is the RAF Cup Final on Wed at Uxbridge 1500 ko. Come and have a wee watch if you can make it!!!
Fishman, I will be down from Tue afternoon so will try and meet up if you can't make it to the game.
Get every last one of them till there is not a sole standing!!!!!

SPLELINGG'Legend'
Don't want to be picky mate, but I see that your spelling and grammar skills are just as fine tuned as your penalty taking ones......
Will be good to see you on Tues, I will be at Uxbridge tomorrow afternoon with the Dev side, so can hang around if you are coming down! Or if you would prefer, I could arrange for Sarah to give you a few hours tuition, in developing your English? Up to you really.
See you tmororoww.

Some of us have proper jobs to do and are way too busy to be checking over notes that have been typed very, very quickly!!!!!
You'd understand if you worked for a living and didn't just swan about in London all day!
Been down our favorite street recently?
Anyway, must dash, got to brief the Wg Cdr on tomorrow's footy, anybody else going to Uxbridge for the Cup Final tomorrow?
No scoring today buddy, remember they only count for half!!!

After scoring a bullet header yesterday , I can confirm that Vet / Dev Goals count double!

Early RiserJim,
7:28 am!! What's that all about, especially after last nights celebrations!!!
And John, don't talk rubbish, goals don't count double. I only wish I had an easy a chance like yours for me to open my Icarus goal account!
|
Team Manager
|
Nice work Arnie!
Jim I heard that it was never a Pen!?
|
Jim

Not a chance of it being a pen, the keeper came out and claimed the ball. I got took out at the same time but a keeper is entitled to do that if he comes up with the ball in his hands. They were not, they were not happy!!!
Who cares though, it means I am now a two time winner of the RAF Cup, can't complain with that. Drinking champers out of a cup tastes so much nicer!!!
There may be a chance I might get taken off the Tour and sent on a detachment to Spain, I am gutted but have not heard anything definate yet.
I'll keep people informed.

IF THIS IS TRUE THE ICE MAN WILL BE VERY UNHAPPY!!!!

Talking Of Scoring Goals..........ICARUS HO
Now, now boys all this chat about who scores more or if it counts if it touched your head as it headed gloriously goal bound is I have to admit keeping me quite entertained.
Fishman I'm with you half goals defiantely count! After all I'm sure 2 or 3 of Jimbo's goals last season came of my foot if memory serves me correctly. Not to mention not getting the controversial Si Hayes cross that I headed in last season. I do know what you mean about scoring goals against the best teams like Combined Services for example.
As for Arnie Arnison ( Congrats for your Man of the Match against the Army in the RAF News) scoring a goal, there is more change of me growing to six ft even at my tender age than Arnie scoring. Somebody needs to teach him that its ok to shoot at the oppositions goal (and occassionally your own if its a beauty like mine). After all he does have a cracking left peg on him in the 5-a-side court.
As for the team building in August I'm in, if I'm back as there is a chance that I will be out here for 6mnths.
Get them! All of them everylast one wearing a spray on tan like Arnison!

Spray on Tan ManAh Dogtanion,
Supposedly the bravest and proudest of all Musketeers but it is not surprising that the banter only comes when you are many many miles away in a foreign land, not so brave me thinks!
Anyway, everone knows that I am saving THE goal for the magical 50th cap on Tour, just for imapct. Would be good to see you in Aug if you are back and i'll have no trouble catching you, i'll just put some mouse traps down!!
P.S. Sent the mag and body wash out today, should be with you soon. Didn't see the RAF news report v Army. Which one is it in, what does it say?
Jim,
Dropping out is unaccepable. You want to get yourself some Steven Segal training, learn how to use a biro pen as a lethal weapon and uintimidate your boss into submission.
Hoooooooooooooooooooo!
