Drivers dream team starting XI

Hmmnn. With time on my hands at the moment I was thinking of starting a TNUK dream team for the 17/18 season ahead.

Started off with goalkeepers, (a ‘safe’ pair of hands). Most of the older chaps on here would be good, however fitness would be a concern. Old67(John), Truckyboy, Windrush, etc have the experience, but we can’t afford to be conceding goals whilst they are rooting through their A to Z’s :neutral_face:

I think a Juddian, Robroy, Maoster, would make a reasonable keeper. A bellend of (oops…), sorry-Freudian slip…a blend of still being a tad mobile with knowledge & experience.

Back four… What we need here is a fitter quartet with good awareness (Dieseldog no good here as he is always texting at the wheel whilst doing a stir fry on his dash mounted gas stove). 4 drivers who can read the road, erm I mean ‘field’ well. Limeyphil is currently unavailable for selection :frowning:

Midfield… Solid, quick and capable of strategy. We need drivers :unamused: sorry, ’ players’ who can play different things, flat’s, curtains, tippers, Carryfast MUST be in this position because he has done everything! :laughing: (Can’t pair him up with Winseer though because the other team would simply walk off the field).

So dependant on formation, we have strikers, sweepers etc to find… What we need is multidrop drivers up front. Rapid and able to use any gap (including 7.5t weight restrictions and wrong way down one way streets). Although tipper drivers are also rapid and do whatever they like. Tango Boy must surely find his way into the team? :grimacing:

Substitutes… We need drivers who are good for a short time but simply can’t do the full 90 mins…erm Dozy and I could fulfil these positions :blush:

Managers… Someone who can mither the ref and generally talk crap and get himself in trouble. Nodding Mule surely?

So come on folks, let’s see some starting XI suggestions…

I’d be up for managing, but as I’m used to double manning, I’m only prepared to do so if there are 22 in the team :smiley:

3

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: . Never happen! All of us work as a team? Nah, we’d be ■■■■■■■■ and backbiting before we emerged from the tunnel. (Which incidentally Happysack had just demolished being a Stobbie driver).

I did consider our lady drivers Albion, but wouldn’t wish to inflict the misery of our male drivers on you :grimacing:

I reckon you (Eagerbeaver) could be the could be the bloke in the crowd telling everyone that’ll listen how you could have been the best footballer ever if you’d stuck at it and how you had trails with most of the big clubs :laughing:

6

It’s funny you mention it mate. When I was younger I had a trial.

£350 fine and a criminal record… :neutral_face:

:sunglasses:

I’ll take the job. As you so rightly pointed out, I am the only one capable …

As manager, I like to put Eagerbeaver in defense. We need a bugger at the back with no regard for the oppositions experience, esteem, skills or ability, to take them down with withering efficiency.

I’d have though he’d have been better as the one sorting out the team kit/uniform due to his vast experience :laughing:

No, I want all the players to wear the same strip…

Not keen on you putting me in as a keeper bud.
I was more of a striker back in the day… in fact my lad’s coach in the last Dads v Lads match compared me to Alan Shearer :sunglasses:

Well ok, tbh what he said was ‘’ Compared to Alan Shearer your Dad is crap’’ :blush:
:smiley:

11

There will be a place in the team for you Rob, utilising your skills and fitness levels. If you can manage a quick trot as far as the centre circle, you can be the sponge man…

12

Some will want to wear shorts, vest and flip flops, others will want to wear trousers and shirt and riggers. Also there’s bound to be someone with a mis-matched pair of boots that hurts their feet and makes them limp slightly.

Gawd knows how the ref will figure who is who, due to different logos printed on the back of the hi-viz shirts

You’ll need a trunk runner for the wings. Someone who can fly up he country, sorry, wing before returning to their start position.

Surely you’ll need a tang for that … they’ll be there and back without anyone knowing that they left, something to do with magnetic attraction :unamused:

I was actually thinking of putting a picture of a boat next to the opposition’s goal as an added incentive.

Not wrong there mate :neutral_face: Rob’s already kicked off about being in net’s, nobody’s brought a frigging ball and now everyone’s taking the ■■■■ out of me and my uniform collection :cry:

Bunch of knobs.

I’ll bring the balls, it just so happens that I have a rather large sack.

Dieseldog on the wing then.
