Daft questions (football edition)

[Cajun]

Hated bum slaps or bummers or whatever you called it. Really was no need [/pussy]

[wormy]

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.

 

I'd purposely aim for the 'keeper so I could go in goal.

We played headers and volleys with 10 lives each, you lose a life if someone scores and 2 lives if it gets passed around the world and volleyd in. Keper catches or it goes over/wide and you're in.

[Pilko]

Always hated heads and volls, and also singles. Wembley doubles is always good, especially cos you need an odd number of people to do it and this is normally why your original game of football was shit/one sided.

 

 

[Cajun]

I used to love doubles when I was on my own actually, was always treated like you were Pele if you managed to get through any rounds, even if just getting near the ball and scoring was fairly likely in the early rounds

[ponsaelius]

Singles always meant you either had goal moochers galore, or you had to bring in some pretty difficult-to-enforce rules to put a stop to it.

[Hanshithispantz]

Someone just goes in goal until a team a through if there's an even number of players. Doubles was class though, mostly because you get to have a rest every round.

 

Only headers in the box too.

Was minging if you were scraping through every round. Absolutely knackered all the way through

and throughout all these games you had to commentate.

Aye, but how often was there a 'box'.

I'd go in goal a lot, we just had an agreement I'd disallow any goal-hanging goals. Respect.

[Cajun]

Anyone else have 'battle of the shits' when two players or two pairs just couldn't score and it would take ages?

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

we played one called "60 seconds" too.  Was a bit like heads and vols.

 

one in goal, 60 seconds to score one goal (volley from anywhere, headers only in the 6 yard box).  If you did that, you had 60 seconds to score 2, then 3 etc.  Keeper would count out loud.  If you skied it, put it wide or it was caught you went in.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Did anyone else used to sing 'ooh ooh heads and volleys' or was that just my group of mates?

[Cajun]

and throughout all these games you had to commentate.

 

My mate always used to scream "JAAAN MOLBY, THEY'VE GIVEN HIM TOO MUCH ROOM!!" every time he was on the attack

didn't you read, MOOCHER, not goal hanger. i'd rather be labelled a puff (sic) or mackem than a moocher, the greatest insult known to man. those werew the same people who had to be told to bunky off the bay when playing 21 buzz off.

[Jill]

Goal moochers.

[Cajun]

We definitely had a rule for goal hangers but I can't remember what it was, think it was just tunnel of death or something

 

They should have that in football now for when people like Suarez dive.

i once got told off by a friend of the family, said they'd tell my parents if they heard me do it again, my crime..."CANNELL!"

Im fucking creased at that.

[henke]

Headers and volleys was ace.

 

We played it damn near every night after school. So much so that my volleying was superb compared to every other aspect of my game.

loved it, what were your rules- if the keeper caught you you went in goal?

[Guest firetotheworks]

Another one was making the circle bigger and bigger on a field and seeing how far apart you could go and still play it to feet without anyone moving.

[Interpolic]

We called this Singles thing Coppers, double Coppers was usually the choice at school dinner time.  Was proper mint.
