Belangrijke vraag van Easton Cowboys

Aangezien de voor dit weekend beloofde forza! een week retard heeft opgelopen, luidt morgen (we bedoelen zaterdag 3 maart) de vraag: waar is't volgende week? (Volgende week is dan 10 maart)

Antwoord: bij Frank Gendarm.

Volgende wedstrijd 3/03 16:30 Lunatics FC - Kloosterstraat

We spelen thuis tegen de kloosterstraat uit Bornem, door die van Ekeren trekt op hetzelfde moment ne karnavalstoet, centrum van Ekeren best vermijden. Zeker als ge een gans zijt, want ze durven daar uwen kop voor aftrekken.

Lunatics in krant

GVA van maandag 26/03 gezien. Het is duidelijk dat de interesses van de mediageile lunatics ver uit elkaar liggen. De ene tracht de kop van een gans te trekken, den andere slaagt golfballekes door de stad. In ieder geval alletwee (Minki en Werner) goed op de foto, de ene al wat frisser dan de andere.

Geflikt

Afgelopen zaterdag de Lunatics geflikt op de Deurnese Turners.
Woensdag de Deurnese Turners geflikt door Standard. Get die Jamaicaanse vlag toch in het Standard-vak gezien?

Deurnese Turners B - Lunatics FC : 2-1

Luna's werden vandaag serieus bestolen door scheidsrechterlijke beslissing. 2-1. Vergissen is menselijk. En zelfs Zidane die vandaag ook nog eens tegen een balleke trapte voor nen hoop uitzinnige Thaise fans, was maar een mens. Hoewel daar toch effe over te twijfelen viel in de halve finale tegen Brasil van het WM van vorig jaar. Ik val in herhaling ik weet het maar dit blijft magisch. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLLSnH7vDGs&mode=related&search=

Een ander soort magie kregen we na de wedstrijd voorgeschoteld door Daan die op een zeer vernufte wijze de identiteitskaarten van de spelers weg toverde.

Matchverslagske met dank aan Breughel die even geen berichten meer kan posten. Ook voor de anderen die hier al eens een berichtje willen posten, je moet terug een e-mailadres aan je profiel toevoegen. 't Is allemaal de schuld van Google ... Ze hebben blogger overgenomen en je zou er als gebruiker niks van mogen merken. Goe gelachen, nog niks als miserie mee gehad. Voor de rest zullen we maar nie al teveel klagen over google zeker.

Maandag 26/02/07 : Marktkramers - F.C. Lunatics (Friendly match)

Not to forget ! We are playing tonight a friendly match against the Marktkramers. The match is at the marktkramers ground, kick off - 20u00. So, be there in good time say by latest 19u45. The earlier the match starts, the more time we have left to do the chicken thing.
See you there!!

Barcelona report - the Zwolle view

"report" of the "canal-jumping(not), bar-ca-va hopping, most glorious & painful victory in europe"
I feel shattered, drained, sore and very tired...getting back to Zwolle Friday at around 11 am with a gammy leg and every muscle aching .....was it worth it? for that result? YESSSSS!!..
It was probably the most physically painful and uncomfortable journey of my life..and I got really worried on the flight when my chest, back and stomach muscles cramped up...but now I am just sleeping and resting in the hope my body will carry me to Anfield in a weeks time...
after all the trouble with LFC TO and ALSIN had last week...and all the "off field" bullsh*te it was ironic that my left leg looks how the media expected JAR's right leg to look had CRAIG really belted it with a 9-iron...and for Craig to pass to JAR to score with his "gammy right leg " at Barca was for me a smile that over comes much of my own pain...(.....)
I had a good journey tovia schipol, on time and even a "seat number" for a change..on veuling to Barca...met a beauty called Marina (argentinian girl living in Rotterdam...) and exchanged a few smiles before she met her local boyfriend, and as Nico & the "Lunatics" were flying in from Brussels , their flight only 30 minutes behind mine meant it was a short wait...and the "cheapo tours welcomes Mr. Van Dyke & co" sign was seen, and I met Jan(1) Minky & sammy..off to the hostel and at plaza catalunya we did some bus - hunting...and eventually checked in to the 6-bed room! ...at the seapoint hostel...with a view of the sea!
then it was a brisk walk along the harbour...to the Cava-bar, (carr. de la Reina Cristina) ..and drunk muchos bottles...where their best stuff was 4 euros a bottle - and tapas! ...then when they were closing we went to a pub where the lads completely drunk out all the beer the bar had...and sung Liverpool songs...but I had one beer too many..
we were larking around and got lost walking back to the hostel..and one of the guys jumped the small canal...when I saw NIco do it, I thought "I can do that" ...I was wrong...i landed in the water and got my shoes and socks wet...I thought that was the only problem...
then as we walked further one of the others told me "Chris, your boot is full of RED..."......there was a trail of blood.......I said "its only a flesh-wound" ..but it kept on bleeding , my mates convinced me to go to the hospital...they kept me 2 hours and put SEVEN stiches in the wound!..the doctor (monica) reckoned its not broken, but I will check it out on monday at the local hospital...
thanks to Nico & Minky for waiting half the night at the ER for me, and got me back to the hostel bed at about 06hrs by taxi from the hospital and on the morning of the game I was completely out of it, the alchohol, pain-killers, and lack of sleep meant that when anyone tried to phone me I couldnt concentrate, (thats why I said to Marc S that he would have to sort his ticket out himself!, i couldnt move and was completely shattered at the time)
then the hostel guests had woken us up every half an hour ...eventually we got up and went back to the bar-ca-va ....it has been difficult to walk...but seemed to be better when I kept on the move so we just kept drinking Cava and patxeran(!)...in fact by the time we "Lunatics" my previous nights experience had "enrolled" me! ..had met Murray and co and gone on to the "Bilbao Bierra" tapas bar near the cathedral we were well oiled...in fact Nico "conned" me , by stopping off at different bars on the way up, so I wouldnt realise how far we had walked...?
Anyway, the lads were in such boyant mood, it felt like we were celebrating winning BEFORE the game, and I told Murray - WE WILL WIN tonight - I FEEL IT!...Marc D and others met us in the Basque bar and got out the banners, sung songs (and chatted with ladies; Miriam & Michelle &...) and I made my own way back to a pub (full) to watch the game , with my leg up on a stool, I was made up when we won , but forgot, and when I celebrated i certainly didnt do the leg much good...everyone was buying me drinks and suprisingly there were few barca fans ! ....
we had to check out at 10 hrs the next morning,,,and the sun was up on the sea view cafe outside , spent a while looking for somewhere to leave the bags and repeated the programmme of Bar-Ca-va & Basque Bar (with Jan number 2 !) until mid-night or thereabouts when my leg finally wouldnt let me go on...i just couldnt summon the energy and the rest of my muscles were screaming "stop!"...so I went by taxi to the airport to wait for my (first flight) out ...the alchohol leaving and the pain arriving is one of the worst physical feelings I can remember...the first day after the accident alcvhohol helped numb the pain of my leg ...but in the last day it hurt a lot..and especially coming back from Barca to Zwolle, as I had to get an early flight , sitting on a hard seat in the airport from 01 until 06 hrs trying to sleep...as we had hardly slept a couple of hours since arrival...anyway beating Barca was good ..no?
I am now back in Zwolle , crawling around the apartment floor, taking 30 mins getting down 2 flights to the loo or kitchen..the realities of living alone..please excuse me for not answering text or phone messages asking me if i am going to Anfield for ManUre , I booked my flight & accomodation, form 2-7th march - i still INTEND to go...BUT..i am not "fit" and when I got back to my flat I just needed to sleep...I will sleep and rest as much as possible, i have just taken the bandage off and my leg is stiff, sore, swollen and colourful...so I will just try and keep it up and move as little as possible this weekend, and check it out on monday...
Thanks everyone for "well-wishers" and I would like to especially thank ; RAFA and the LIVERPOOL team ; Nico and the Lunatics;( Minky, Jan, Jan, and Sammy), Murray and anyone else I have forgotten to mention "who was dere" oh and thanks for the invite to go live in Antwerp-Ekeren...I know you were drunk lads, but the thought was nice! ;-)
YNWA
Chris SMITH R.I.P. (Really Incredibly P*ssed)
euro-scouser
p.s.
I didnt get much chance to use my spanish , apart from ordering in bars and shops and those 2 mad chileans...all the people I met seemed to be Brits, Flemish-belgians, dutch , italians or french etc...and of course "LIVERPOOL family" of about 10,000...

Zaterdag 24/02 Bekerwedstrijd 15:15

Anders dan voorzien werken we onze volgende bekerwedstrijd niet op ons thuisterrein af, maar wel op de terreinnen van de Deurnese Turners. Da's daar waar de daken van de vliegtuighangars waaien, drakenhoflaan geloof ik, iets verder dan de dagbladhandel met de naam van de straat, die wordt uitgebaat door nonkel Jan en Tante Odette, maar die kennen jullie niet. En als ge het nu nog niet weet zijn, hieronder nog eens de wegbeschrijving:
(BTW Wallie en Dejosse geschorst lees ik op de site www.vriendenclubsantwerpen.be.)

Vanaf het rond punt in Wommelgem richting Mortsel rijden en aan de verkeerslichten aan de Carrefour van Borsbeek rechts inslaan, die baan blijven volgen, in de bocht eerst rechts dan links de baan blijven volgen en iets verder aan de linkerkant achter de sporthal ligt het terrein.
Vanuit Mortsel: aan de Carrefour van Borsbeek links indraaien, dan hetzelfde als hierboven. Vanaf de post in Berchem: de Ring oversteken en aan de verkeerslichten schuin links de Gitschotellei nemen, die blijven volgen, dat wordt automatisch Drakenhoflaan/lei.

Lunachicks back on track?

(met dank aan de GVG-internetfilterreferentie, de bron voor waardevolle informatie)

In ieder geval zijn de echte lunachix misschien wel present op het Easton Cowboys tornooi deze tornooi. Hieronder nog eens de uitnodiging. Barbara was alvast op de hoogte en heeft de contactgegevens van de Cowgirls. Denk ik toch.

Iwein legt de zaal vast op het moment van schrijven. De vooruitgang staat voor niets.

Verslagl van de training

Matchke 2 tegen 3 tegen 2, uiteindelijk gewonnen door de 3 met 11-7

Man v/d Match: Levieneke
Speelden ook mee: Iwein Jr., Thomas Jr., Cunnings, Oskaar

Vogelvrij - Lunatics 4-0

Met 4- 0 den boot in, da's ook weeral efkes geleden. In de kleedkamer was iedereen het er over eens, 't was allemaal de schuld van den arbiter. Twee penalties nie gefloten en 6 doelpunten onterecht afgekeurd. Anders was 't 0-8 geweest. Die vier goalen van Vogelvrij waren niet over de lijn. Zo kunnen we natuurlijk nooit winnen. Volgende week beter, dan zijn we vrij, vrij vrij vrij ....Kunnen we eindelijk nog eens doen waar we goed in zijn, luisteren naar moeder de vrouw.

Volgende wedstirjd 10/02/07

15u spelen, 14u15 verzamelen in de kantine van Sportcentrum Het Rooi, achter het stadion van Berchem Sport. Daar heeft Oskaar, toen nog gewoon Fico, eens ooit ne kopstoot gehad tijdens een toernooi met de jeugd van de Germinal. Maar dat terzijde. De ingang ligt aan het Rooiplein 2 in Berchem, de terreinen achter restaurant Park West en Taverne Ter Weyde. Is dat niet daar waar het ooit eens afgelast was en we met een hele hoop waren, net op tijd terug naar Ekeren vertrokken om de ijzel voor te zijn en dan in de sjok een klein tequilafeestje zijn beginnen bouwen?

Nog 3 min of meer aangekondigde toernooien

"Min of meer aangekondigd" interpreteren als volgt: uitnodiging is er maar we hebben nog niets bevestigd.

zaterdag 19 mei - 6-a-side Ossla-Rozemaai - u allen bekend

zaterdag 9 juni - The ALSIN footy weekend (5/6-a-side) - ALSIN = Association of Liverpool Supporters In the Netherlands - org. van Chris die tegen Olympia Sport voor ons is komen supporteren - vriendje van den trainer - uitnodiging moet nog volgen, denk dat het in de buurt van Utreg is

Wochenende 06.07. - 08.07. 2007 - Freiburg - Kämpfende Herzen - u allen meer dan bekend
