Have a teammate mime giving you a card, and the other teammates crowd him and protest and you walk off like "whatever."

Wow, what a fun game you play. I assume that post game you take a good bath in WD40 and then apply a fresh coat of rust proofing

If you're scoring 7 goals in a game you should celebrate by moving up into an appropriate division for your skills...

Yeah seriously. No one even celebrates in the more competitive weekend leagues, it's all a bit juvenile unless you're pissing about with mates

It's just too dick-ish to the other team. Plus, if I'm paying to a part of a team and I only have X minutes of time on the field, I'm not going to waste it. I just want to play.

If you score a screamer, a celebration is definitely appropriate but do it on the way back to your own half readying for kickoff, don't run to the corner and point out your shirt name to the 'crowd' or whatever

I've always celebrated by shaking my fist- kinda like I'm giving an invisible dude a handjob. I don't plan to do this, just seems like the natural reaction to scoring

Not sure what country you guys are in but here where we play 90 minute games nobody's wasting any real time having such fun, you're not being a dick unless you're actively waving it in people's faces, and we're not all robots who play only for the purity of the game...Indoor games or 6v6 would be a bit weird to do so, obviously....

iajanus posted:Yeah, running to the corner would be bizarre (except if you actually playing in front of some supporters) but Sorry, dude. Anything more than high fiving a couple team mates on the way back to your own half is shoving it in their faces. The only thing that makes professional players celebrating tolerable is the fact that there is at least a couple thousand people there celebrating with them. Even then, most celebrations are pretty cringeworthy.

My mate scored a 90th minute equalizer in the last game of the season (pretty tasty free kick) that meant we went undefeated. He took off his shirt and got yellow carded haha.

I've only ever scored one goal in a competitive match and it was a spectacular header into my own goal. Celebrated by getting subbed by the coach and put on camera duty. That was the last game I played with the seniors and I've been tearing poo poo up in the reserves ever since. I'm a central defender, so any celebrations beyond the high fives as you run back to the centre circle can get hosed - only exceptions I don't mind if it's a loving screamer or you can tell it's someone who's never scored

They're still getting a show. Got another one where we line up like bowling pins and someone drills us with a screamer and we all fall over.

Chas McGill posted:A single reserved fist pump and a slow jog back to my own half will do. Same here, except for one absolute screamer (in about 8 seasons in this league) after 80+ minutes of hard-scrabblin' 0-0 play where I screamed myself hoarse, and the one I scored 15 seconds after kickoff, where I just said "Oh my god!" and threw my hands up like a moron, out of surprise more than anything else. The team we played this past weekend had a deaf guy. He was decent, except for when he "defended" by running headfirst into my gut. He seemed to get knocked down a lot, which was a little sad, because he made the absolute loudest, most pathetic noises I've ever heard.

Well I had hoped to get into a men's league here but as it turns out I live a little too fast away from Seattle to make it convenient plus my work schedule makes it tough too. My two daughters who play both made it on to select teams. The older one made it on oa team that is very good and had a lot of girls that have been playing a long time together. In the few friendlies they have played she has played every one starting at center back. The younger tried to play up an age group but was right on the bubble. However the coach of her actual age group saw her trying out and asked to have her on his team. She's been swapping between midfield and striker and has already notched a few goals (no celebrations though  )On a positive note I have been able to continue coaching. I told the coaches of both teams of my coaching background and offered to help if they ever needed it. A few weeks later one of them asked if I still wanted to help as his assistant is the head coach of another team and sometimes can't make practice and games. It's been quite fun working with kids with a higher skill level. I always coached rec before because I couldn't make the time commitment to coaching select. Rec is very rewarding in other ways but this is a nice change of pace. I guess the coach I'm working with had a favorable opinion of my coaching because he asked me if I was interested in helping train a boys select team that is still looking for a dedicated head coach. Not sure if I'm going to be able to take that on or not though because I'm traveling a lot for work right now.

There's one where I hang out but my legs and all that poo poo.

Started playing 5-a-side in Manchester on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tuesday's are body crushing and take place inside a gym with no air-conditioning and people who play too seriously and Wednesday's outside on astroturf with women/fats/olds who can't really play. No real point to this post, just my 5-a-side tribulations.

I am pretty easygoing about soccer and I'm no prize myself but it's such a downer to have a person on my team who is so bad that passing to them is in effect turning it over. Wow they're open again in miles of space wonder why that is, time for another pity pass? Time to forget to look that way again? It's like you have to keep a separate scoreline in your head.
