Treasurer Report 2010

Hi Guys
Here comes me finance report for 2010. This will be my last report because i want to resign after doing this for many years. So please somebody has to take over.
Unfortunately the indoor futsal died down last year due to the lack of player. Some guys join now our japanese friends at 7 pm on wednesday.
From this coming saturday onwards, the football at CIS start at 2 pm until 5.30 pm. For the one who wants to join already at 2pm please contact Rodolphe for details...its more for the mens open player. For all the other nothing changes, football starts at 4pm.
Last year we was able to get 100,000 Peso from Mr. Lhullier as sponsorship. Very unlikely that we get it again since there is an dissapointment from Gustavians side that only a few player showed up at Gustavian or Taproom - not even for the worldcup -.
Nevertheless i will ask Mr. Lhuiller if he is willing to sponsor one or two trips to Manila for the Nomads tournaments.
At the moment we have 51,000 Peso from the last year and from this we have to spend 44,000 as payment to CIS for the first 6 month 2011.
Here now comes the numbers
take over from 2009 peso 20,320
players payemts peso 127,900
guestplayer peso 16,800
sponsorship gustavian 100,000
total peso 265,020

thanks for your trust over the years

I might be retired after an accident in Nov..

Hi guys, happy new year and hope you had a nice Xmas.

I haven't been playing in a while because of a motorbike accident late Nov here in Toledo. I had two semi-fractures close to my knee, bruised ribs, generally bruised and three nights at Chong Hua including some surgery. Removed the cast a couple weeks ago and can walk without crutches now, although not very gracious.

I am recovering pretty good, but one month in bed without being able to bend my knee has made the leg quite stiff, so I am only able to bend it like 90 degrees. Will go to a therapist to work it out, it's improving a little every day.

Will not be able to play before the summer, and to be honest I think I might give up now. Both my achilles have broken the last few years, so I think the body says stop(but my spirit cries never!). Most of the muscles in the right leg has faded, sometimes I do a mistake taking a wee in the dark.. :-)

My reception is probably harder than my shots(as usual!). The muscles will grow back according to the doctor, once I start using them.

OK, just wanted to let you know, and it's been a while since someone posted so I thought I'd break the siilence. I'm going to Cebu this weekend, and might pop by CIS and/or Urban Cellar. Hope to see you. It's boring watching football(Liverpool) at the moment, and boring not playing..

Meeting in Manila

Dear all,

it was a great pleasure meeting the XP team in Manila.  The above picture illustrates the full spirit and dedication of the team. It was a pity that I didn't see you guys play (busy, busy, busy of course).  However, I did experience the impressive post-match coaching! Something totally different from my wonderful time with the club, when we were still wearing the beautiful blue shirts:). All the best and who knows I will show up one day in Cebu again (must have some training before though). Albert

Minutes of Meeting

Posting on behalf of the "IT handicapped" Panny.

Minutes of the meeting XP- team 21-10-09.

Guys; Thanks to those who attended the meeting.

In short a overview about the most important points discussed and decided on.

In the next weeks we will assign people to the official titles necessary for the C.F.A. and for XP in order to bring more structure in the club.( Panny will trace the official titles and names submitted to the C.F.A ).
• Decision makers( ( board of Xp Team ) will be Rodolphe ,Otto ,Panny,and in a separated meeting they will agree among each other how they divide responsibility's. Once clear they will inform all XP members about this.On every meeting they will evaluate and collect all individual opinions/suggestions/ideas.
Tony assigned as our head coach and full responsible for matters on the field,tournaments,practice and all related matters that involves the games.Same time he has committed to be close and personally involved in the club and the players in order to do this Job like no one else could do ! Thanks Tony ,you are the best coach we could imagine !
Panny will come up with a program for 2010 with all tournaments ,games ,competitions organised thrum C.F.A registered teams ,members, and inform XP-team on time.
• New Guest player policy ; We have agreed that guest players are allowed to join XP team for 3 games for free and after they will be given the option to become XP -member.Any player who has used his 3 free games and will not become a XP- member can not join /enter the fields anymore.Every guest player has to be informed that there is no guarantee that they will play because there is a priority given to XP-members to secure that they play.This decision will be taken by the head coach on the spot.We have agreed to have a flexible and friendly approach towards this policy in order to welcome new players and make them feel comfortable.
For 2010 season( we try faster ) we will ask from all individual members if there is a need / will, to follow practice courses before the game or even on a different day/time.Xavier has announced to be willing to take the lead for this.I suggest if there is enough interest he will discuss with Tony how to proceed on this. Thanks Xavier !
Board will report to the C.F.A all joint tournaments by XP team so it could be reported in the yearly reports of C.F.A and this will help the ranking of the Cebu Football association on the FIFA listing.

Small matters

• C.I.S. payments will be given to Xavier who has a easy access to the school since his factory is located next to the school.After payment he will forward receipts to Otto.
This Saturday 24 Oct no soccer at CIS. Plan b will follow thrum text message.
• Rodolphe will start in the next weeks to announce the new policy's to Guest players so in a few weeks time we can slowly make the change.
• Forgotten to discuss but still important !! Christmas party / get together will be organised by the board.Please forward any nice idea or suggestion ! Otto asked attention for a charity project of one of our most honorable members Flemming who is doing this together with his wife Elisabeth.We are thinking of coming up with a raffle during Christmas to collect money and donate ! Please give us more ideas how we could possibly raise money for this Beautiful project.For those who don't know the projects Flemming is doing we will ask a brochure of his charity organisation.

U-20 World Cup Starting

U-20 World Cup starts 2am Friday. Trinidad vs Egypt.

I know, I know, don't say it I'm sure no one wants to watch with me and have me buy them free drinks every time we score. Text me if anyone does want to watch this or any other games during first round. I'm game to watch all if I can.

Italy vs Trinidad is a bit more reasonable time on the 29th. 1am. Attack, attack, attack!!! Full schedule can be viewed below at this link

Champions League

Not sure anyone's interested but since Jordi is no longer here with the Playstation I've decided to setup a fantasy team this year. Anyone dare challenge me to a friendly club wager for who scores the most points by the end of Group Stage? Few hours left to register and pick a team.

Guestplayer

hi guys
in responce to the comment of my dear friend Tony about the guestplayer at CIS.
a guest is first of all somebody who is invitet.. and he should be invitet from a regular member of our club. what we see lately is an uncontrolled flood of koreans. before there was 5 or 6 of them. we could handle that without mayor problems. lately we have up to 15 faces on the pitch and nobody know them. even guestplayer invite and bring along other guys. I think this goes in a wrong way. already last saturday we had a short talking that it cant go like that. Tony you was not around, the game was horrible, everybody confirmed that. There was korean kids they could not stop or controll any ball.
i believe we should select a little who play with us.. remember the 3 russians who joined us one time at timex..we sent them home for luck of skills and it was a good decision.
we are not exclusive but i think a football club is also something social to us and i think that we all more or less also good friends outside the pitch. Any new player should also fit in the social structure of our club. the guys who join lately just show up, dont talk to anybody and disappear after the game. i was asking before some of the koreans if they want to become member.. they dont like.
i dont see any problem if you invite a guest and can not come with him..just meet at the gate and go in together.
Since there are not every week new members, the list dont have to be updated every week.
we had a small meeting last monday at taproom,-Rodolphe joined via text messages- and agreed to limit the guestplayer. i think its better for the game. we have 27 member and every saturday we are enough to have a nice game. with additional 10 to 15 uninvitet guys we are simple to many and the fun of the game is realy strained.

Personal comment

Morning guys,

I am using the blog rather than text as the following is pretty lengthy and should be of interest to all members.

Brief –
I had a message on Monday afternoon inviting to me to a meeting that evening to talk through a concern the club had about the numbers of guest players that were turning up on a Saturday afternoon unnanounced and whose quality, in terms of footballing skills, might not be great. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the meeting but commented that I would support the majority decision. I will still support that decision but feel very nervous about the direction the club is now going.

Decision –
A guest player can only join if invited by a member and has to come with that member being introduced to the team; there first game is free. A members list will be placed at the guardhouse with only those players names appearing able to play; any guest will have to enter with a member.

Personal Comment –
The above decision does not tackle the question on lack of footballing skills; a member can still invite a player that might not have the ability that some of our members are looking for; what are we going to do in this case? Is the member going to be accountable and responsible for introducing only players with acceptable skills? How will that decision be reached? Who is going to marshal this?
Personally I think we are getting in to ‘murky waters’; since when have we become an elitist group of players? I still believe and will always believe we can have a club that caters for both talented and less talented players. If we are getting the better players disgruntled because of the quality of the game let’s look at running with 2 small pitches across field let’s not look at ways to discourage players joining. By the way; who will choose who those better players are? Many times I have been frustrated by my own play and know I don’t have the same skills as some others…. but am I included because of my service (in years) to the club?

Having a list on the gate will come with its own problems, just as it did at the Timex field. You need somebody who will regularly update the list and ensure the guards are working with the latest updates. Having guests only turning up with members will mean some advance planning. I recently introduced Mark to the club but knew it was not practical to meet him in advance of the game; we thus met at the field. Now I could have got someone else to meet up with him before the game but honestly didn’t want to piss about with that process. By the way; how are we going to treat the Koreans that are not members? Are they included/excluded from the list? Some of these players have questionable skills.
We actively promote our team on the web, we take opportunities to promote the club in the paper and talk to people we meet in the everyday life plus whatever other opportunities arise so we are always going to have the potential for people turning-up unannounced or with dubious skills. Do we really want to discourage those people? What happens if one of those people happens to be pretty decent? Is it not easier for the members within XP Cebu to take the initiative and start up a conversation with those new uninvited guest players and start asking questions? What’s happened with the power of verbal communication?

OK, now the problem with everything is that it needs people to get involved; it needs people to stop putting their own personal frustrations first and think about where the club is going. If we want an elitist group of players that have great footballing skills then fine; has that decision been taken already because I am not sure it has; or are we a club open to all that will look at ways of keeping everybody involved and not introduce hurdles to climb?

Now I think we could do a few things. Xavier and the training pre-game at 4.00pm is actually a really good idea even though I know many of the members don’t feel the necessity to join. We could use this as a tool for developing those guest players whose skills are not so well rounded and a way of identifying stronger players. We could move away from the full size pitch (which I personally enjoy) and go to 2 x smaller pitches; here you could mix the stronger players with a minority of weaker players whose games need developing.

Of course all this is dependent on people willing to take the mantle and organize which is something that has always been a problem with far too many ‘vocal’ rather than ‘active’ (inflammatory I know).

Maybe the first question we need to ask ourselves is ‘What type of club do we want to be? Do we want to be inclusive or exclusive?’. The question of local players has already been asked with some sought of muddled decision reached. After we have the answer to that question maybe then the decision on players becomes easier.

All the above is my own personal thoughts; a decision has already been reached but my concern to the welfare of the club led me to capturing the above concerns. If we are all happy with the decision then no further action required.

Club Meeting - July

This coming Friday 10th July sees an XP Cebu Football Club meeting to be held at the Tap Room in Banilad at 8.00pm.

Our last meeting was really well supported so your continued attendance would be appreciated.

If you have anything for the agenda please let me know. See you Friday.
