We're getting all serious again...

...so to address this i've decided to write a little about the wonderful world of internet football. Yes, this does involve physicaly playing football and not just playing a game of football on a pc as at least one person i know of mistakenly thought. It has been around since approximately 1996 and i've been involved in it since the creation of Motherwell FC's number 1 fans team Fir Park Corner FC in May 2001. Sadly i missed the historic first game due to a work commitment but have since donned the famous colours(currently black and grey, lovely) on countless occasions. It was a long hard battle to respectability, it took us until our 16th game to avoid a loss and 5 games later when that 1st victory came i'm sure we celebrated as if we'd won a league or a cup.

However this doesn't really tell you what internet football is all about. It's about more than just a game, it's really about getting pished with fellow football fans and struggling to play the next day and there is no better example of this than Worldnet a 3 day festival of football and hardcore bevying. The epitomy of this philosophy are probably the boys from Parscelona FC, although the FPC FC boys have never led the side down on their 3 previous visits.

This years tournament to be held on 15th to 17th of July is highly anticipated and with a strong FPC FC squad expected to be going down there is high hopes of silverware. The gaffer, David Fraser also has a secret weapon up his sleeve, yes if his team can't do the business on the park then in an effort to win team of the tournament he plans to have two top quality tent type things hopefully stacked with lager pitchside. With the distinctive Butcher's Boys flag held aloft between the two we might at least get the attention of the Sky TV cameras if they are back this year.
