Interpolic Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nostalgia overload. http://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/whoever-kicks-it-gets-it?utm_term=.ydZ8RX02Y7#.pp86d359Ad Startlingly they missed out 'don't sit on it, you'll egg it!' and 'no mooching/no blasties' Our Wallsend Boys Club team was called No Blasties like, on account of playing football with me dad in goal and him always saying it. He was the "manager". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Another lad's dad turned up absolutely smashed every now and again and gave us a rousing team talk where we were told to break the other team's legs. We ignored him like but it was always funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Saw the Football Ramble live last night. Class, recommend it. Gave Pete a sackpardew flyer I had and he stuck it on his desk for the full show Met them all too after, sound chaps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Been years (literally) since I've seen kids playing football in the yard at school. Eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Remember fog sec lag for first, second, last? What the fuck was that about? Honestly though, there were so many days I just didn't go for my dinner because I was playing football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Claiming for 'pens all round' was a favourite of mine. 'Corners all round' is a joke I still make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nee hackies. The utter disappointment when someone didn't bring in a ball to school and begging (almost on the verge of tears) for the PE teacher to lend us one. Failing that, jut steal the year 7's baal.

Village Idiot Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Kitchen foil balls a thing in England? We used those during recess at school, since we usually weren't allowed proper balls. We would pool together the wraps of our sandwiches and make an amorphous ball out of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The nostalgia in this thread I'd completely forgotten the "play on" rule when you were keeper and couldn't be fucked to go after the ball. You'd always end up with a pair of scrotes miles away trying to meg each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Used to use bottle caps in Primary school cause we weren't allowed a ball in the playground and bottles were deemed dangerous. One of the dinner ladies would bring in milk bottle caps for us, aka the ultimate cap. Power and swerve you could get on those things was ludicrous.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 We had to use sponge footballs in the playground at primary school. Class on wet days when they used to be full of water, having taken up a bit of dirt, grit and the odd small stone and you took it square in the dial. Also got to the point where it'd disintegrate into something barely even spherical but would still get kicked about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 At middle school we had to use a tennis ball on the yard. Worst was always when you'd be playing on the yard in the summer because you weren't allowed on the field but they had the tennis nets up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 We used to have a head dinner lady that would assess whether the field was too wet to play or not. The disappointment when it was deemed unplayable was awful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 In Primary school you couldn't use a football in the top playground (small). We used to donate a sock each and roll them into a ball. I tell my wife that and she thinks we must have been living in some sort of slum (or that I'm making it up). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
