joeyt Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Now I think about it I think ours was similar. Rush= a certain outfield player was the only one allowed to be keeper Fly= anyone could be keeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 We just called it "keeper", because whoever got back to the goal first had to yell "keeper" before they could touch the ball with their hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Rush keeper was any player, but they had to shout "keeper!" before pulling off, in my case, a worldie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgarve Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Fog man back, was the first back, rush goalie the keeper could come outfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Aye, rush could play anywhere (not even sure why this distinction was made in hindsight, did we tell our mates in goal they had to stay back ) whereas fly meant anyone could be keeper as long as they called it before touching the ball with their hands. Led to some amusing ball juggling between 2-3 people each calling keeper in turn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Mundial ran a poll to see what people used to call it when anyone was allowed to be in goal. Rush keeper for me Rush if he came out. Rush and scratch if the last man back could use his hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Open_C Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think for us, rush keeper was where the keeper could come out and play but was still the only person who could use his hands. Fly-and-rush was where anyone could be the keeper. This is how it worked between Amble and Ashington in my experience, although the latter was just simply Fly Keeper I later came to realise that Rush Keeper was actually just regular football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
