I've still got a 23t Soma cog on the other side of my wheel... You can have that for the tenner I paid for it, if you like?

Oi - you said you would sell that to me :(

Yep. Lots of spots this morning.

Hi Brave, Hi Fluff :)

Is an offensive shuffle that is deflected in by a defenders bike a goal? I think the answer is no.

anwser yes, goal

Answer no, no goal.

Rik: NO goal as initial attempt was a shuffle. If it was deflected in from a shot, then Yes, goal.

A shuffle in own net by the keeper is a goal.

....& i should know as I've scored plenty ;-)

many were called in league games last season and i am not aware of any rule change

A shuffle in own net by the keeper is a goal.

Is this tonight? I have a work dinner, unfortunately. I'll be in for next week though.

... but was the 2'29" record beaten?

Oh no :(

I'll pop along tonight to see the league game. Go on BAD! (& Slammmmm!).

I think B meant about polo not being at Newt all the time as agreed with the residence some time ago, after a discussion with them to keep the peace.

I don't think this is a permanent fixture but will hopefully happen on a fairly regular basis. At the moment it's no fixed time or place, just when and where we can get enough people, right?

Are Monday's going to be a permanent fixture then?

And the league isn't all year round, so hopefully we're not pushing our luck too much.

Perhaps we should bear in mind the noise level, but at least we're gone by 9pm..

I have to agree on the danger of over-using Newington. Not just for the locals (I think the only reason they don't complain is that we try not to be there too often), but if we spread ourselves too thinly over the week, we will lose the regular Wednesdays. If people get their polo fix on a Monday, we might struggle to get a decent number to play on a Wednesday.

..This has nothing to do with a separate ladies evening, which i was sad to miss last night. And I do think this should be an ad-hoc event & rotate the courts rather than a regular weekly thing -to keep interest and fun levels up.

Just been listening to an episode of the bike show: who in feb 2008 at trixy chics tried freewheel and thought it would be good to play polo on!?! Talk about ahead of the curve!

Yeah, I thought freewheeling + MTB would be a better option for polo than brakeless fixed that everyone else was using at the time...

Hated it and went back to the original bike (which I am still using!)

NOTHING

Can someone explain this one from Berlin?

"Count it":
Object adopted this and said it constantly after seattle's first visit!

"Nein Eddy" : Andy Schuster (Toros) telling Eddy off (in Karlshruhe)

"PENIS!" - Dave shouted at someone when they were about to attack goal - to put them off.

It was quickly adopted as a means to try and stop an opponent from scoring. I also remember the first time I heard it internationally (by Hannes)!

Yeah, nice pics. looks like one goal had a lot more snow and ice than the other. you lot are bonkers!! :)

For Adam... the results from last night:

Dinosaurs were way better than Jono & Adam Spring Break
..but Sarah & Dave were better than Spring Break (J&A) and Dino's combined
Sarah reached 20 first and when J&A had both yet to reach 10
Green bull: S=7, D=3, J=1, A=1
Dave won overall :)

the polo scores/scorers have been emailed to max and mark and will be added to the website

B - Have you tried with just outers? My hands are warmer with just them on than with inners+outers

yep. if you have circulatory problems inners will make it worse. mittens FTW!!
