The Weekend Warrior Turns 1!
By: Sean | October 1st, 2009
Happy birthday to The Offside Weekend Warrior, which officially turns one year old today! As blogs grow up and get older, they start to mature and begin to develop certain…characteristics…that might have previously been missing. Their tone and voice may get a little deeper. They might start growing links and video clips in places that were previously bare. A maturing blog might notice that their participles no longer dangle but are frequently rock hard in the morning. All of these are the normal signs of a growing blog–even a recreational football blog–and although the postings can be a little irregular and unreliable, especially during the high seasons of fall and spring soccer, deep down all any blog just wants is to be loved. Is that so wrong?
Thanks to all of the readers who have clicked on the site and left a comment in the last year. It has been a lot of fun sharing my random soccer anecdotes and hearing all about yours. I’ll endeavor to be more diligent with regular posting, but with televised footy on four channels (including HD!) most weekends, I sometimes get a little distracted. Thanks also to the fine folks here at The Offside for allowing me to share some of their website storage space for what I believe is the only site on here devoted to amateur soccer, fandom, some coaching nuggets, SMILFs, and all the Weekend Warriors who live and breathe the Beautiful Game. It’s not Shakespeare and it’s not the World Cup, but it still matters, you know?
I welcome any post ideas or topics you might have…for example, what it’s like when your recreational men’s team goes back to play a match in your home town against a team with several of your former high school teammates that you haven’t seen in 20+ years…and then you get your ass handed to you with an Old School beat down.
In front of your mommy, who hasn’t seen you play in many years.
D’oh.
Again, thanks for reading. Cheers!

Congrats man, hard to believe it has been a year already!! This is always a place to share a great story, a laugh, and read about the “other side” of soccer playing it!). Look forward to sharing more stories and enjoying future posts, and BTW, I know you will appreciate this Sean, Condom Club FC has been disbanded as of this Sunday, we have all gone our seperate ways and found new teams but still practicing safe sex…I look forward to my new season on CT Hotspur, finally a normal football club name!

@Gianfranco: Thanks for the kind words. The real question is, will you be able to get Eric Wynalda to come play for you again with CT Hotspur? Sure, he’s probably based out of California now, but you never know… Cheers!
