RBMB 5-a-Side Photos

Sorry for the delay and the iffy quality of the camera phone photos (and camera phone photographer). After discovering that simply connecting a usb cable was not going to enable me to transfer my photos over i signed up for a dropbox account.

If the following link works as i hope it will then everyone should be able to see the photos in a dropbox album. Feel free to embed any of them on the board if you wish.

Cheers.

Sorry you were missing from the stills Dave. I have taken a number of videos which i will try to make available in the same way and you are definitely featured in at least one of them to prove your participation in the legendary match.

Excellent stuff, Toast Boy, many thanks! They undoubtedly capture the excitement, the drama, the enthusiastic noisy spectator support and most importantly the astonishing level of footballing skills on display....

that is okay mate. hope you are better

Breaking news on video footage........ Hard as it is to believe i make almost as bad a sports cameraman as i do a late match impact sub (yeah alright i did say ALMOST). Some have been put to one side (it seems you are not supposed to alter between landscape and portrait when taking video .... who knew? ). Of what is left the quality via dropbox looks awful (it improves a bit if you download the vid and watch it on your own player if you don't go full screen). Noise is high and there is some stop go footage on some of the vids that is so weird it looks like it was directed by Cronenberg rather than Sky Sports.

OK enough excuses - the best bit of news? Tonker's wonder header has been captured in all it's glory and will now live on forever!!

Oh and the last 5 seconds footage of the last video has Rhys looking towards me and saying "Toast - do you want to play the last 5 minutes?" along with the sound of my fateful reply of "Ahh what the hell."

I will try to get things sorted and post a similar drop box link for the (semi) watchable vids tomorrow if anyone wants to see them.

Cheers once more everyone for a great and memorable day.

Excellent Toastie. You have fully captured the mood of the occasion. I look forward to the film.......

TDA shame u werent there.. maybe next time? I wish i was at the footie.. fab pics though,

Awesome work Mr Toastie!

Videos finally here. Sorry for the sound which makes it seem like there is a thunderstorm going on - listening with the sound low or off might be best.

Third video - Arkay's stunning ball retention seems to have all other players mesmerised.
Sixth video - Tonker's stunning headed goal!
Last video - Dave Webber's appearance and my fateful call onto the pitch.

Top, top work Toastie!

Err, are the videos playing at half speed? It's just we all look slow and crap and I seem to remember tearing around at 100mph. No? Oh...

I believe all the top quality high speed action was too much for my inexperienced camera techniques to capture. I remember them though. If only there had been some football scouts about watching.

Yes, that must be it - we were too good for camera

Cracking bit of work - I'll have a good look next time on a pc
