A couple of weeks since the last transmission so apologies about that
... some quick updates whilst I keep an eye on the United Villa game.
Co
Ed first this week and missing players has been the story over the last
few games. A tough one against Isoptopes resulted in an 8 - 3 loss but
these are a young skilful team and with a few players missing it was
always going to be an uphill battle. After a week break, we played
Brampton and again with most of the squad unavailable, we eventually ran
out 4 - 0 winners to keep us up there. Supposed to play the Gunners
yesterday but some shoddy communication from the front office at SC and
we showed and they didn't. A default 1 - 0 win to us. Next week we are
up against the old foe Benfica. Will need the full team out and with
Victor and Jenna AWOL for the last few weeks, Mike struggling with
various health related problems (piles is the latest affliction
preventing him playing we hear) and the Parkes clan juggling various
social engagements, the 'Macmillan & Wife' (if you're too young to
remember this classic 70's show, ask Grimes (45 today)) management team
of Warren and Mary Jane will need all their collective persuasive skills
to get everyone out. Dont be late or the fella on the left will be out
for justice.
So over 30's ... well where to begin. A few weeks ago we played at
11.30 and had the whole of Brampton come out and play. A 3 - 2 win
against Toronto Forest keeps us in it. A week off and up against our old
mates of Riverplate. Lots of their regulars missing and an easy victory
(surprising) for us at 4 - 1. In line with the odd goings on at our
beloved Soccer City facility, a Saturday game against Oakville Athletic
and even with a full squad we just knicked this one with a 4 - 3 win. So
onto this week and what turned out to be quite a debacle against
Cleveland Steamers O30's. With a very poor collective performance we
were never in this game and eventually ran out 3 - 1 losers.
Other news and a good time had by those that were able to attend the
Paul Capone Jack & Jill last night. A few drinks and some money raised
for the happy couple.
A new feature each week or update will be a link to some of the
classic archive material and the rather strange ramblings of Paul G ..
whose match reports are the stuff of legend but seem to be getting
further away from an actual match report. Anyhow, here is the 1st link
to our 1st blast from the past, and it a classic
Roy's Throbbing Vein piece.
and Mr G's latest ramble ...
Outdoor:
Soccer City.
Team fee $2695. If we want to enter the league cup played on Saturday's
it's an extra $50. We were counting last night and we have maybe, just
maybe, 16 full time players who are confirmed to play. That is $170
each. We need to find at least 5 more chaps to add to the squad to keep
the costs down. Anyone know of any players looking for a game? What is
Ray up to nowadays?
Over 30's.
I have the SGM tomorrow where we find out our division opponents, league
set up etc...League fees are a $575. Field fees to be confirmed, but
imagine an even $1000. Refs are $60 a home game, figure 9 home games.
Total approx, barring added expenses $2115. We should be able to get
about 22 players this summer if all the supposed new signings come on
board, so we are looking at $100 each player for a squad of 22.
I will hit up the Clock again to see if they are interested in
sponsorship. Times are tough of course, but I will see what I can get. A
new kit is needed, but right now we would need to raise an extra $800 at
least for that (shirts, shorts, socks).

With the advent of more and more technology at our fingertips (The
Japanese have invented a thing that straps around your wrist and can
actually tell you what time it is!) it is a wonder that any of us can
think for ourselves anymore. Picture this scene of domestic bliss:
(A comfy living room. Mozart playing in the background. Well, not
actually him, but a recording. Original Dali and Monet prints adorn the
tastefully decorated walls. A deer hound sleeps at his masters feet. A
roaring fire, the smell of a pheasant cooking. Servants going about
their business quietly and respectively)
Enter stage right.
Wendy: (fresh from organizing the collected works of Byron in the plush
library) "Darling, here is your sherry."
Ian: (Velvet smoking jacket, pipe, slippers and copy of Sunday Times
from 1974 tucked under his arm. Sitting in wing-backed leather chair.
Gift from Duke of Wellington, 1995) "Thank you pip"
Wendy:(checking ornate, baroque, gold mantelpiece clock. Gift from
Sultan of Brunei, 2006) "Sweetcheeks, don't you have a ghastly football
match at 9.15 tonight?"
Ian (after a long drag on his pipe) "No, buttercup. The contest tonight
betwixt the colourful amateurs of Real Ale Madrid and the brutal
professional thugs of The Cleveland Steamers does not take place until
10.45. But, thanks for asking mon cherrie."
Wendy: (adjusts bustle and puts a sprig of jasmine in her hair) "Are you
sure, my God of Thunder? I could have sworn on Saturday that local
heartthrob, Grimesy, said it was at 9.15 tonight. Another servant on the
fire dear?"
Ian: "Indeed, my clementine, throw the scullery maid on there. Grimsey
may be a handsome devil, but his organizational skills are somewhat
lacking compared to his overall charm and zeal. However, I will double
check. (knocks pipe against the side of his valet, McNulty) I say, McNut,
do you have that blackberry thingy that I bought last week? Do a chap a
favour and check my entry under 'football, April 2nd, 2009'. It is right
after 'Charity ball, Brampton Rose Theatre' and right before 'Drive
Mayor to Primrose Motel' "
McNulty: (checks Blackberry thingy. Sees time on it says 10.45. Looks
smugly at Wendy, thinks to himself. Master is never wrong. I wonder
though, if he should wear spats with a Liverpool track suit? "10.45 Sir"
Ian: "See, my petal? Now be a good lass and fetch my finest tobacco?"
Wendy: (Eyes shining bright with love and admiration) "Anything for you
my lovebubble."
Exit stage left.

Jesus its the New Year. So apologies for the lack of updates ... blah
blah blah been busy, new woman, new knitting pattern, new underpants to
break in ... all the usual excuses. Its been several months since
Christmas and my trip to see the family in the old country and now its
time to get all my loyal fans up to date on the to ings and fro ings
(eh?) of your beloved Real Ale Family. Well where to start. Its now a
whole new era. Obama is in. Flares are out. Bush is always in (ehem ...
cough) and winter is on its way out.
Over 30's finished the Autumn session in early January at the semi
stage (ooh err missus) and quite frankly did better than I would have
given them credit for. More importantly, the Gaffer cooked the books and
with the help of 'book keepers extraordinaire Lynn and Jane' managed to
convince Soccer City that our debt is now only about 300 bucks. A
Christmas miracle some say. A result of lent say others. Bollocks I say
... he finally got his fingers and toes to add correctly at last.
Granted he should have 18 fingers and toes if his maths is correct and
therefore be competing in the 200M butterfly but I babble .. the debt is
lowering and maybe we will be fiscally whole before the outdoor starts.
As far as the winter session stands, 4 games in ... an arse end
upwards schedule (whats new) and the Over 30's are poised to strike with
several games (and meat pies) in hand. New faces in the form of
whatshisface .. Matt? Mick? Archie? Darrens mate ... the one who cant
stand up and has an Micky Dolenz haircut (what do I know maybe its
coming back in .. he is only 18 and three quarters for f*&cks sake) and
we're doing alright .. next game is a week tomorrow at 9.15pm.
Other news to note ... Mr Capone and his fiance have a Jack & Jill on
March 4th in Brampton. Get your tickets and show up for a good night of
drinking and .... well ... fun.
Onto CoEd ... a tear jerking end to the Co Ed autumn session ..
filled with tragedy, personal sacrifice, joy and tragedy ... and this is
just Parksey and his search for a lost favourite pipe wrench. Suffice to
say that the team went all the way to the finals and lost in most
unfortunate circumstances to Benfica. Oh well, onto the new session and
a great start. Only one loss so far this session and that was last week
to well guess who ... yes Benfica. Anyhow ... time to put these nasty
aggressive thoughts of revenge and turn them to our next game this week
... at 5pm yes 5PM against Isotopes ... a difficult game as we will be
missing Warren, Max & Jamie who are off holidaying at the warm water
outlet of Pickering nuclear facility. Yes folks its March break again.
Be there or the man will shove a bat up yer nightdress as usual.
No tables this week as well .. I really cant be arsed ... baby steps
I think getting the site back up to date. Maybe next week. If your that
interested, check out the Soccer City website.
Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year to all our loyal fans.
Team and game news for the last couple of weeks and for the Over
30's, things not going well as 2008 draws to a close. Two weeks ago, a 5
- 5 draw against Oakville Athletic was a scrappy affair with some
dissension in the ranks. Shifts for too long, loss of shape and bitching
meant that we were always on the back foot. Draw was a reasonable result
but we need to do better, especially in keeping the shifts to a
reasonable length and the moaning to a minimum. Last Thursday we took on
the table leaders, Team Ice Oldies. A strong team, we would need a good
performance and unfortunately, it did not show up. A 6 - 0 loss due to
poor defending and marking, loss of shape again and not hitting the
target meant we were never really in this one. The result was a little
flattering to them to be fair, 3 of the goals being bounces or
deflections that landed in their favour. Message from this one though is
the shift lengths and playing a position. Anyway a few weeks break over
the holidays should give us chance to regroup and hopefully have a
strong push to the end of the session. One other thing to point out is
dosh. We need to clear the outstanding amount at Soccer City so be
prepared for some fund raising activities in the New Year. Nuff said.
See you January 8th.

Ed News is somewhat better - no game last week so onto yesterdays
encounter with Brampton FC. This one should have been a reasonable run
out for us and ultimately turned out to be the case although some
concern at kick off as pretty much everyone was late. Starting with 3
guys 2 girls, people filtered in throughout the game and we eventually
ran out 6 - 0 winners. A nice team, very sporting and recognition to
these guys for showing up and giving a game each week. Their keeper made
some fine saves in this one too so the score could have been much more.
No break next week so we are right back at it next week straight after
Christmas. I will be looking for the results as I will be in UK for a
couple of weeks. Make sure you do the business. See you in a couple of
weeks and all the best for Christmas and New Year.

Sunday December 7th 2008
Two fair results this week but again both teams having the same
problem. Lack of participation and communication of unavailability. Over
30's had a typically tough game against our old mates Riverplate - a
good game apart from one wanker on their team who thought he was the
worlds toughest man ... especially by lifting people when they weren't
looking. As you would expect he got as good as he gave if not more.
Aside from him, a good bunch of lads who we enjoy playing and who always
give us a good game. This one was no exception and with a lack of
players ensuring everyone had a good run out, we played some very decent
football. We controlled most of the game but as usual could not hit the
net. A late injury to Paul Capone and we ended up with no sub for the
last 5 minutes. Grimesy playing well in nets, Newman putting himself
about for the entire game, Rennie and Capone solid at the back and
Richie and Jack getting the goals, we ran out to a 2 - 2 tie. Next week
we need players to either show up or let us know if you cant make it.
Email and cell phones are not that difficult to use. Game is at 7.45pm
and I am trying to arrange for Parksey to play as it is a tough one
against the strong Oakville Athletic.

Ed was a similar story with regards to players only this time having
only one girl rather than a lack of overall numbers. No excuses for the
snow (this is Canada in winter dammit), we needed more and this is
especially ironic as there were murmurings last week of too many girls
and not enough playing time. Anyhow, well done to MJ for showing and
playing the entire game especially as one girl meant we had to play a
player short. Another solid performance, a couple of unlucky shots on
goal and constantly tracking back, she had another great game. With
Jamie, Michael, Darren all playing well and stringing together some very
nice football, we shut down the young and tricky Mississauga Dinamos and
eventually ran out comfortable winners at 6 - 1 which really did not
reflect on the good game they gave us. No game for co ed next week but
the following week we play at 5pm so get there or if not let the man on
the phone know.

Bit of a mixed bag this week and a somewhat strange update for the
Over 30's who took on HBSFC on Friday night after a 2 week layoff.
Firstly the sheer number of players especially on a Friday night caused
some amusement with a 7 man sorry person (yes 7) rotation up front and 5
at the back. Mario decided to watch from the bar due to the number of
players. With Warren playing (even on a dodgy shoulder), Chris F sober
and fit, Paul Capone available and even the marauding Dave Newman making
a rare guest appearance, we had a very strong squad. We beat this team
as well only two weeks ago with a weaker squad but that was not to be
for this game. They had picked up a couple of players, striker and
keeper especially that really won the game for them. We started well,
played some nice passing football but could not beat the keeper. He
stood on his head. This coupled with the striker scoring about 4 of
their 7, they ran out 7 - 2 winners. Good performance from Lynn
especially with great vision and passing.
Next week back to the Thursday night slot and a 10pm kick off against
the old adversary Riverplate (imagine this in a Sean Connery voice taken
right out of Hunt for Red October).

Now for the next odd update. Well odd in as much as I dont have one.
I did not play in the Co Ed battle of the top of the table against
Benfica and the website is not updated. So not sure what happened
although this game usually brings out a bit of feistiness in both teams.
Updates will be provided as soon as I find out what happened.
**UPDATE** Co Ed lost 3 - 2 to Benfica in a typically chippy game
that ended with a a couple of sending offs. Unlucky that we lost but one
we must put behind us and move onto the next game.
This just in ... Co Ed and former Nor'n Ireland player Mike Nelson
talks to RAMFCTV in exclusive interview:
I owe all my football success to mentors like Real Ale veteran's
Warren Parkes, Simon Burgess and my lovely partner Holly Parkes. After
an addiction to sniffing Mr Sheen, I thought I had lost it all. But
after spending several long weeks of closed door training and drills
with experts like Warren and 'The Boss' (Simon), I managed to kick the
habit and actually hit the net a few times. I know I have a long way to
go but with friends like these, I know I have everything I need to be
successful and achieve all I can with Real Ale.
Sunday November 16th 2008
Brief update. Y fronts should not be too tight, G strings should not
be worn by male members of the Over 30's team and boxers should not show
the 'boy's out of the barracks' when relaxing with a beer post game.
Now onto game news. The Over 30's goalkeeping crisis has led to the
2nd loss of the season. With new 'old' boy Mario returning to the squad,
his debut this season was not one to write home about. Some very poor
distribution led to at least 3 goals in a game that without these
giveaways, we should have won. No reflection on Mario, he is not a
regular keeper and he put on the gloves to help out but the result and
performance were poor to say the least. Anyhow onwards and upwards - a 4
- 6 loss and with a weeks break in the schedule, we need to come back
stronger for the next game. This one is on Friday November 28th and
against HBSFC, the team we beat the game before last.

Onto
Co Ed this Saturday gone and a chippy game to say the least with the BOS.
A strong squad even without Jamie dominated the game but with one or two
unsavoury challenges especially from their young keeper, it was a
physical game for all. The young keeper does deserve special mention for
his 'Tourette's' like outbursts, even against his own team. Wanker. On a
positive note it was nice to see ex-Real Ale Co Ed player Jackie
McGregor back playing for them after a bad knee injury. A 4-1 win anyhow
and again a 2 week break before we play Benfica at 5.00pm on November
29th. Need everyone there folks so make sure you show up or the man
above will show up and shove a bat up your nightdress. Top of the league
though baby! Nice one!

Some very sad new to pass along as we learned that Roy Boyce Snr
passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. As many of you
know, Roy had been a long time supporter of the team and we had the
pleasure of seeing him for a few games over the summer even though he
was ill. Our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences go out to Roy
Jnr and the family at this very sad time.

Another two good victories see both teams continue to sit well in the
Over 30' and Co Ed at Soccer City. Last Monday, a very late game for the
Co Ed team (11.30pm for chuffin hecks sake) so
well done to those that showed (and stuck around for a drink after). A
strong team, especially with 5 ladies and 4 blokes meant that the ladies
did most of the leg work. Some good goals and more great keeping from
the fella with the hair meant a good win against the Gunners.
Over 30's continued their streak as well although the goalkeeping
dilema is starting to take its toll. Mr G strapped on the strap on, then
the next night showed up to footy and strapped on the gloves for what
was a truly mediocre performance between the sticks (actually he was not
that bad but we dont want him getting carried away - well we do but not
until we got a keeper). He is not available this week as he is doing
some top level shaggi...I mean going out for a nice evening with his
lovely better half so we need players. We are trying to convince Mr
Parkes (see above) to show up but nothing confirmed yet.
See you Thursday.

Evening folks, quick update for the last week. Over 30's took on the
Trojans on Thursday and ran out comfortable winners with a 6 - 2
victory. Mr G did a good job in nets whilst Ian took up the gloves
later in the second half to give Mr G a run out. 1st touch was obviously
his trademark chip. Next game is Thursday at 7.45pm against Palatine so
be there promptly so the game plan can be played out on the white board.
Or maybe not.

Saturday, Parksey's Co Ed team played Brampton FC in a game which,
quite frankly, started badly. With 4 minutes to kick off and 6 players
only, it looked like a long night especially for MJ and Denise as the
only girls. And it was but after a slow start, we took a hold on the
game and never looked back. Highlights of the game were Denise's goal
celebrations and also her lightning fast save even though she was not in
nets. Warren could not keep out the ensuing penalty but the goal had no
impact on the outcome of the game. Next is Monday night at 11.30pm
YES 11.30pm. Lets get everyone there on time or let Warren or MJ know if
you cant make it. No game next Saturday.

Saturday October 25th 2008
With
new management at the helm of the Co Ed (that's bloke's and girls to you
lot), the team ran out Saturday with some new signings which looked to
have paid off well for Parksey, the new coach. A deserved and resounding
7 - 1 victory against Pro Elite but with an unfortunate injury to Holly
which may have put her out for the season, takes the edge of a good
start to the season. Get fit soon H.
Your new coach (and this is on a good
day)
Friday October 24th 2008
Full Match report to follow. A victory though for the new look over
30's squad. Same core of players with a few new faces to bolster the
ranks, player bios next on the list to be updated. What was the score
you ask. Well if you'd 'shut yer cake ole' for a sec, I'll tell you. A 3
- 1 victory against the strong Cleveland Steamers. Leading from the
front (and some say he has more front than a row of houses), Mr G with 2
and Richie with a cool finish for the 3rd. Back to Thursday only next
week.

A solid start to the season, thanks to that pork and lentil stew I ate
in the works cafe for lunch yesterday. Even though we lost, we played
the better football. Yeah, yeah moral victory and all that. Without a
goalkeeper, it was always going to be tough, but the chap who did play
goal "The Moggy" did his best. Somebody scored for us, but being at the
other end of the field trying to pull my goalie shorts out of the crack
of my arse, I couldn't tell who. Was it Paul C? Darren? They won it in
the last two minutes on a rebound, but we should have taken more of our
chances really. They only had two shots of note. So we start against the
toughest team probably, with a decent performance, but no points. Sort
of like this match report. Stylish, trendy but pointless.
Tonight it is the Cleveland Sweaty Steamers. 7.45.
Good to see some money come in last night chaps, keep it coming this
evening. Also good to see was the highly efficent bar staff keep up with
our every need and whim. Even managing to find some pipe cleaners for
Lynn and slippers for Simon. Must be the new management there. Not that
the old management was bad or anything, perish the thought...I am
digging a hole here for myself aren't I?
See you this evening.
Cheers

The Reserve team also gave a good account of themselves, especially
by inflicting a defeat on Astra, their only loss of the season but with
them gaining revenge in the semi finals of the play offs.
