Hi

as some of you may have seen on a thread a while ago there is a plan to have a tribute football match for our lost brother Shaun McKinley on Hogmanay with participants from the bounce, St Patricks branch and Shaun's friends and family, it will also be a fundraiser for a cause of Big G's choice with every player making a donation plus bucket collections for spectators.

any other suggestions or help for fundraising such as a raffle would be welcome

The provisional venue is Leith Links at 2pm, the format will depend on numbers but it will either be a straightforward match or a mini tournament, I will arrange all equipment, refreshments etc.

the plan after will be to retire to the Bottom Shop for a pint or two

if interested in playing or coming along just reply to the thread

happy to give you the use of our facilities at Craigie if Links is not available.
 
I'll pass on playing, but have sent a few emails around tonight for some prizes towards the raffle - I'll be in touch.

In terms of lending a helping hand in general to organise, count me in.

Thanks for that
 
How shite is tolerable in terms of playing ability? I was alright in my time, but I'm now a) 43, b) spectacularly unfit, and c) have dodgy hamstrings/calves.

Just a kickabout really so don't worry about fitness.

Come along to street soccer for a runabout in the meantime if you want, got sessions on every day.

I’m never one to turn down a game of footy as you know Robbie. I didn’t know Shaun but was moved by his story. I’m happy to get involved but wouldn’t like to take the place of someone who is more deserving. Let me know how you get on with numbers and we can take it from there.

You are in, will bring down average age of bounce select at least
 
bounce squad coming together

me, Aggie, southfield, Power, dmn1989, SK11's sons

wonder if @wee_162 would consider a comeback

Absolutely would have played, but on a train up to Aviemore at 4 :doh

Will get something in for the raffle.

nice one pal, and Stew too.

bounce team coming together
 
Hi everyone,
I'll be in Edimburgh for new years day with my pal Davide with ours girlfriends and, mostly, with our Italy-Hibs flag.
He lands at 3 pm on hogmanay, how long will the event go on? Will it be worth if he comes to Leith Links directly from the airport?

If there is a place on the field for me, I'll be very honoured to play.

Cheers,
Giulio

Count me in. If it's an information needed I'm a centre forward/winger. I can adapt as a left/right back I'm not that good in those positions. My friend and his missus will join in the pub. Can't wait!

Bit contenital flair to the bounce side
Or maybe a bit Italian skulduggery?
I'm looking forward to this myself mate and delighted it's roll on roll off subs
 
all looking good for Shaun's game thanks for the responses.

at the moment it's a two team event but if there is more interest will extend to a mini tournament.

was thinking full 11 a sides may be unwise and would use the 7 a side goals and play about 8 a side with rolling subs.

if folk are really keen for 11s am happy to do that also ( just won't leave centre circle )

any refs on here??

One of my good mates from work is a Ref. I could say to him if he could do us a turn if required. You can let me know and I’ll ask the question
 
no bother whiskas and leitchy more the merrier

might stretch to two bounce teams and two from Shaun's pals which would make for a good wee tourney
