Good for you mate. Always fancied it but my knees are too knackered even to kick a ball. Hope you enjoy it snd let us know how you get on.

I would guess that there are all sort of checks carried out first.  You know, general health, heart checks, blood pressure, previous operations, dental problems, obesity, diabetes, x-ray history, eyesight, skin complaints, hearing, stomach disorders, gout, ingrown toenails, acne etc. etc.

Been going for a few years, good fun and a great group of players. As it says its walking football, no heading and minimal contact. Suits all ages and fitness levels, I am probably the oldest there (66) and I can manage it so anyone can. 

Venue: Tynecastle Park, Community Pitch.

Dates: 18th April – 17th October (light depending)

Day: Thursday

Times: 6:00-7:00pm

Cost: £5.00 (pay as you play).

It probably is.

I would imagine that it gets competitive. You can still get a sore kick from someone strolling about.

If you’re getting old and decrepit, I only tick one of those. Walking football, sheesh, away and play bowls, golf, snooker, darts, anything but walking about looking a twat. 
 

I am only joking, it’s not for me, but each to their own

C'mon, don't be bashful.

 

As an aside as I can't be arsed looking for the DJ live set thread, Boxer has a few mixtapes on Soundcloud that would be just the ticket for seeing you through the long summer nights fleecing tourists. They can be downloaded for brussel sprout via a third party website, which is handy.

I'm fairly new to this forum Morgan. Are you allocated a sworn arch nemesis or can you pick your own? 🤔

I'd be up for some walking football, I'm not sure how it would benefit me fitness wise though, if i'm not allowed to move any faster. 

I'd probably end up just taking pot shots from 40 yards out.

No, Carlsberg, you don’t pick your own.

 

Others generally pick you.

 

It’s a funny old game.  😎

Is it not on Tuesday afternoon as well a guy who drinks in the Scots Guards Club goes think his name is Malcolm mentioned that. I’m thinking of going now I’ve retired.

Is it hard to remember not to run?  It’s a foul if you do, isn’t it?

 

It's very difficult. You're going against all your instincts.

Dagger Is Back

For those interested there’s also WF at Oriam on the indoor Academy pitches.

 

Held on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 1230-130. Great bunch of lads and mixed ability. 

 

Sessions are £4.20 but need to be booked in advance as we’re limited to 28 players per session.

 

If anyone is interested, just pm me and I’ll get in touch.

 

Cheers
