just a game of footy = dangerous when a mixture of levels of skill and (more importantly) competitiveness are thrown together. The thing that is causing the agro is the very thing which has made the 5-a-side great - namely the fact that it is the same teams playing each other every week. This is great because we have a settled selection and the teams are, for the most part, evenly balanced. It does, through no ones intention or fault, however mean that vendettas and personal battles are honed over the weeks (cc Man U -v- Arsenal). I do not want the following to happen, but I feel that mixing up teams would difuse the situation we have arrived at. Use of bibs to designate, etc. I am happy (as Larry) to continue as we are or mix it up - I have a high threshold to this type of thing, but sympathise with those upset by last nights "competitiveness". Thoughts?
