Okay, someone needs to tell the Northwood guys that soccer is not a collision sport. Everytime we play them, I end up getting injured. It was the knee last time, the ankle the game before that and now I have half a shin less than I started with this morning. It's going to get to the point where the ER nurses expect me whenever Creekside play Northwood. I thought the point of playing friendlies was that you didn't have to win at all costs - costs like flooring the other team's striker and leaving him in a pool of his own blood.

	Got you through the pads, did they? Ruddy awful bastards. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah. He caught the front of the pad and ripped it off, taking a chunk of flesh with it. But at least I'm not limping this time, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What sort of kit are you wearing? I know ankle free units are more popular these days, particularly in sponsored clubs, but to tell you the truth they're absolutely rubbish. Better off purchasing a pair with the ankle guard stitched in as you're far less likely to have some tosser's boot playing rotisserie kebab with your limbs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? I might look into that before the next game. It's getting to the point where I think people go after me on purpose. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. Or scrawny. Or both. D'you play, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're playing Striker, mate. Aside from the Keep, you're everyone's target. And aye, I used to play for Celtic FC. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't remind me. Seriously? That's pretty major. Did you get transferred out here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	celticpride 2013-05-28 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	If you consider forced retirement a part of the league then aye, I transferred out. Would rather be playing football still. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sucks, man. What was it? Injury? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	celticpride 2013-05-28 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	Aye. We'll call it that. I'm sure Google will tell you all you wish to know - name's Oliver Wood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Fuc~~ I've heard of you! Wow. Dude. Sorry I didn't recognize you. My friend Tommy's the soccer fanatic. I just kinda fell into it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your mate play for the same team as you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	definingmoments 2013-05-28 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Creekside High Varsity. He's our keeper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	celticpride 2013-05-28 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, right. Well mate, look into those ankle-shin pads and always communicate with your Keeper. Listen for his calls, let him be the eyes. Keeper's got the best view of the match from anywhere in the stadium and knows better than most what's about to happen. Best advice I know to give. That, and donnae ever get hit by a lorry.

	You sound just like Tommy. He'll be thrilled. Thanks, though, man. I appreciate it. And I wasn't planning on getting hit by a lorry but I guess I'll bear it in mind when I'm crossing the street. I'm Darren, by the way. Darren Shan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I happened to be on my Ducati when it happened. Pleasure's mine, Darren. And remember, you're nae playing hard enough until the law calls you on it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
