joeyt Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 why do none of the islands off england (Jersey, Isle of Man etc) have a decent football team? Because they have tiny populations? And if the players were any good they'd qualify to play for England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 why do none of the islands off england (Jersey, Isle of Man etc) have a decent football team? Relatively low population, possibly the age of the population, islands have more than one small team in their own league, good players play in England (Le Saux, Le Tissier)? Newport (IOW) are usually fairly strong and are still in the FA Vase this year, but there are several teams on the Isle of Wight. The better teams play on the mainland in various non-league divisions, and there is an Island League for the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Used to play Garages all the time as a bairn. What rules did you play by, garages was a class game. garages was ok, one garage door each, 3 lives. but I think I prefered the football games where the end two garages were the goals. so a game of football with both goals facing the same direction.

madras Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Did anyone else play spot/spot the dog and kingo? spot was just about a foorball game, kingo was basically tuggy with a tennis ball. we had amate with such a throwing arm on him you couldn't deny getting hit with the ball as you'd yelp with pain and limp away.

Spot was class for improving accuracy, especially with a 10/5 second rule. Kingo destroyed me like. Most of my bruises in life are as a result of playing kingo. The only game I hated was singles, it was just a mess, no one ever scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 aye was Wembley singles/doubles for me too. Used to love a class game of "headz n volz*" too *that's headers and volleys for you posh folk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I was fucking horrendous at headers and volleys. We tried to play a couple of years back when we were bored down the park one afternoon. I ended up just sitting out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried to play a couple of years back when we were bored down the park one afternoon. I ended up just sitting out of it. I was always the divvy that would try and go for an overheard kick to try and knock 3 points off, usually ballooning it wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 why do none of the islands off england (Jersey, Isle of Man etc) have a decent football team? They all have in-house leagues. Their national teams play in the Island Games. Guernsey have bridged that gap last season though by entering into the league system using players on the island, they won the league first season at a canter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernsey_F.C.

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Aww I loved heads and volleys. 3 lives and if it goes wide you lose 2 lives, over and you lose 1, keeper catches it and the player that took the shot goes in net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
