Its time to get my backside into gear!
As above Carnoustie rugby club are heading for our twin town of Maule the details have been discussed and they can be adjusted to suit within the next 7 days.
Dates 20th Nov to the 23rd
Flights to Paris from Edinburgh with Easy Jet are approx £70 give or take pence. The times are pretty poor. Leaving on a Friday fairly late. With no flight on a Thursday.
Alternatively
Dates 19th Nov to the 23rd
The alternative Prestwick to Paris its around £60.
The plan bus to Prestwick/Edinburgh-Flight to Paris-bus to Maule. Simple.
The itinerary will be based around playing Maule on the Saturday. Maybe a game on Sunday TBA
My email is on the top of the blog. I will be out and about and will get a list together of guys wanting to go. Or email me with your intention to go.
A deposit of £40 non returnable will have to be paid in the next two weeks.
This tour will be a great way to bond the team together and probably represents a cheaper long weekend than a night out in Dundee.
To start the ball rolling we need to form an informal committee to organise the details of the tour.
First suggestion touring strip.

How good is that pint?
What can you say? The effort was imense. Assuming a victory Harris arrived not expecting the welcome they recieved. Hey hey. As soon as I see opposition like that, I see red. They must have wondered what had hit them.
Owen Hughes did a great job as Captain, expect for the intercepting kick that must have gained us at least -5 metres. I owe you guys a jug for giving away a penatlty. At least it was for fighting not for coming in from the wrong side. Makes a change!
I think the forwards now realise the work in presenting good clean ball for the backs reaps dividends.
Its great being a member of CHSFPRFC
Next season should be good.

Great effort
Well done to everyone after such a poor show at Montrose we seem to have evolved where instead of giving up we end up back at the drawing board. The whole lot of us.
After a 60 nil victory against Bannockburn we have a true test against Harris on Saturday. A home game where we guard our 100% home league record. Don't tempt fate Peter. Well its up to us we all need to stand up and be counted. The first game against Harris was a very close call.
Whistle blows its 80 minutes of hard work mentally and physically. Its hard to explain but we have a choice we are 80 mins from the shore the boat is sinking do we bail with every ounce of energy we have, and have a pint at the harbour bar or do we commit 95% of our effort and sink.
Come on Carnoustie.
Remember the 18th of April .The Alternative Carnoustie open. Which looks like its going to be a great event for the golfers amongst us.
Something mentioned already on the blog the rules of engagement.
Enjoy.
I'm a philistine I would need to see a shrink if I did 18 holes.

Stair lift.
I think I need one. Are you playing on Saturday? Have you hung your boots up?
What's happened to the Blog?
No
Yes
I have had a hard month, not getting much time with my family and friends. Its great to be up at training on Tuesday. All I needed was a help back into my van at the end. I think I have ran out of cartilage in every joint.
After our trip to Montrose we scurried back to our liar to lick our wounds and get pissed.
Nothing has changed the banana splits should sponsor us http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2se2I70CJ0
We feel like the only team to have the banana skins mapped out in front of us and still fall flat on our backs.
Nothing has changed Panmure beat us at home years ago. All we had to do was win, on paper everything was stacked against Panny. Well we didn't see the pesky skin in front of us and missed out on promotion.
The whole thing is a learning curve. We need to realise our expectations. How do we do it? By digging in and not giving up. Sounds simple but it comes with age. Along with a Stair lift.
Another gripe for me is Grant complaining at training on Tuesday. He said how come you lot have all the big guys. Well Grant it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference with your display of tackling and humiliation of big men.
Your a machine. Stair lift for Christie no sausage for Heather.
Enough of moaning Owen has come up with a great idea. Why don't Carnoustie make an effort and maybe enter a couple of 7s tournament's. I would be happy to go along to represent the team at various bars. In all seriousness we could have a pretty decent team.
Our October tour of France well Maule. We had a show of hands on Saturday looks like we could be touring this year. A proper tour with like a game of rugby and maybe two. What the Cardiff ''tour'' doesn't include a game of rugby for Carnoustie.
This tour could be called a Credit cruncher, plus Maule has a strange ratio of 4 females to 1 male. Its amazing. The final date to be arranged.Its going to be cheap and fun.
Cheers
Peter

Viva La France
Bien fait pour les Français. Le Maule les Noirs doivent être totalement ravi. France ont été brillants, même les Gallois ont montré qu'ils étaient de l'homme comme Carnoustie tomber la balle sur une base régulière.

Update
For those people who are still struggling to understand my sense of humour. Im sorry.
I mentioned we were thrown out of the club. We were asked to leave for the greater good of the club. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm happy to leave if it makes the club more finacially sound. The only thing I think we should introduce is a policy of what I would call, the eventual golden hand shake we should get a ''goodie bag carry out''. Just enough alcohol to get me totally hammered and maybe a packet of peanuts as well.
The club did well on Saturday. If there are anymore functions, its party time at mine.

A master class
What can we say after Saturday. I felt a strange sensation even after 20 minutes that we just had to weather the storm. I really didn't realise that Hawick were as good as they were. It was a masterclass of handling and running. These guys breath rugby. .
Looking at their team they didn't look like they could over power us with strength which they didn't. Their work rate was immense. Our work rate has been satisfactory over the season, but couldn't touch the Linden. They interpreted the referees idea of onside so well(they were offside all match), that our moves were smothered before they could gain any momentum. They probed at the start of the game obvious trying to suss out where they wanted to play the game.
They were superb, although Grant ran through their team and scored a brilliant try a true solo effort which even made Bruce smile with pride.
I went off knackered spent physically and mentally. I'm just a bad tempered old bugger and thought it was better to go off rather than giving the Linden kicker any more practice. I hold my hand up and say I gave away 2 penalties the last one for not letting a player back onto his feet after a tackle. Well it would have been nice if he had made the effort to get up.
To make things even worse we were thrown out of the club because of a function which ended up in a party at my house. Major sore head in the morning. Heather was happy though because I ran out of sausages.
Quote of the day from Neil ''I love to play against border sides'' well I'm glad someone does. Ha ha. He also likes to eat raw seagulls with his balls in a vise. Each to their own.
