newsted Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 A link for the international brethren: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/sep/11/your-favourite-street-football-games 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Jill Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I thought for ages my dad just made up a game called Spot because I loved Spot the Dog. It was years before discovered it was an established game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifth letter (KING-O) and you're out. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 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. 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.

madras Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Rush keeper was fog man back round our way. What else could rush keeper be ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Rush keeper/fog man back was normally only allowed if the two sides were of unequal numbers. Only difference is that with rush keeper you have a set person playing in goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference is that with rush keeper you have a set person playing in goal. So no change to normal rules then ? For us rush keeper was fog man back (for the forrins out there "fog" in this instance means "first"), First player back behind a designsted area, usually a stone, was allowed to handle the ball.

Oh aye, that reminds me, someone mentioned earlier about playing heads and volleys till the keeper got hurt....me and a mate made a game of this, once we got a stooge to be the keeper, thinking he was playing heads and volleys but really our game was to hit the keeper, points awarded for where, arms legs, 1 point, torso 5 points, head, 10, knocked over 20 etc. extra pointed awarded for yelps and blood. In fact if you search on this very forum " grand master oomph" you'll find a mention of it, knew I had, back in 2011. No quote box next to it and I lack the nouse to do it.

nufcjb Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 A genuine question. Who takes the match ball home when there are 2 or more players who score a hatrick in the same match? Was thinking this because of the 2 hatricks in thd Napoli game last night. And what happens if the two hattrick scorers are on opposing sides? Have always had these questions in my mind. Think I remember Beardsley and Cole scoring a hatrick in a game against Wimbledon iinm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
