Daft questions (football edition)

Do you know of, "rush keeper", "5 pots in" and "maker taker" ?

 

 

Asking mates about these and whilst we know "rush keeper", we are guessing that "maker taker" refers to an instance that if you make the penalty you take it and the best thing we can come up with for "5 pots in" means if you either score 5 goals as an outfield player, you go in goal or if as a keeper you let 5 in then someone else takes a turn in goal.

 

Are we close?

Better than close, spot on. 5 Pots in being you score 5 then it's your turn ion goal when in a 3 man game, 1 V 1 with a keeper.

What does "nee blasties" mean? No hard shots (when you play football with friends for fun)?

 

I wish I was english so I could use that expression, it's amazing.

 

Correct, particularly from short distance.

 

Cheers :thup:

Cuppas and, heads and volleys

Cuppas ? Would that be World cup singles/doubles etc ? (I'm still the reigning cup holder of beach world cup singles from when all the lads used to go on holiday every may, close on 20yrs I've held that title now)

 

Need to set the rules down for heads'n'volleys as there were loads of variations depending on where you lived.

 

 

cuppas- would be knock out singles- 1 keeper- any amount of outfield- you score your through- last person left is out, and then a next round til 1 on 1 final.

Aye, world cup singles we called it, also played in doubles format.

Oh and in some areas it was "nee blammas"

 

think the term we actually used was blastas tbh.

Been on this subject before, some areas ended things with -a, some areas -y. Newbiggin hall was an -y area, nicknames, slang terms etc, West Denton was an -a area. Bonna neet, Bonny neet etc.

Nicknames tended to end in -y, Snadga though, that was just a word that ended in 'a', it was never a snadgy.

3 pots in, around our way (5 pots could have lasted for ages). Plus always loved KINGO (in old terraced backlane with cobbles--great for reaction times! And in carpark, against back wall of Co-Op--easier, but had to avoid moving cars!)

 

Kingo! I'm gonna have to assume that's a different game from the one I played in Bradford in about 1969. That involved pelting tennis balls about.

And for my Bradford brother, KINGO (Felling stylee) was 'Wally' in the article, only you started with no letters and whenever you failed to hit the wall (one touch/shot) you picked-up a letter. Fifth letter (KING-O) and you're out.

Used to call that 'SPOT'.

 

Kingo we used to start in a circle with a tennis ball on the deck, between the legs was the goal, using feet as pinball flippers. First to concede was 'it' and had to hit the others with the ball.

 

Rush keeper is a weird rule, since it's allowed in the game anyway. Can anybody else remember butterfly keeper? Basically nearest to the goal was keeper.

Aye, the subtle difference between rush keeper and "fog man back"- which sounds like your butterfly keeper- used to cause a few arguments if ground rules weren't established at the outset.

60 seconds

“Essentially a variation on headers and volleys. You’d have 60 seconds to score one header or volley, then 60 seconds to score two headers and volleys, then three, then four etc. If the outfield players scored a non-volley, or if the keeper caught the ball, the shooter replaces the keeper in goal, and the game starts again from one goal in 60 seconds. Our record was 15 headers and volleys in 60 seconds.”

 

The best, hands down. You also went in nets if you skied it/put it wide, though.

 

The sheer pandemonium of trying to set someone up for a volley with five seconds left.  :smitten:

Our team at Wallsend Boys Club when we were 10 or 11 was called No Blasties, tbh I didn't realise it was widespread and called it that thinking it was just something my dad said.
