Rush keeper = goalie can be an outfield player

 

Fog man back = anyone can be goalie if they’re the last man in defence

 

Any other interpretation is quite simply utter nonsense 

 

 

 

 

They were both the same.  A goalie can play outfield normally.

 

One rule we did sometimes play is that any ‘fog man back’ or ‘rush goalie’ wasn’t  allowed to cross halfway in normal play.  So effectively a few players could be ‘it’ if they’re back first, but those players had to stay in their own half 

[McCormick]

“Rush keeper” and “first man back” where I grew up. Where did “fog” come from?

Also had a modified version of the latter which was “last man back”, which was expectedly absolute chaos  .

I’m assuming everyone had the rule of “nee blasties” in the D, yeah?

fog - ordinal number, determiner

 

a person or thing coming before all others in order, time, amount, quality, or importance:

 

fog draa on that snout, divvunt be shan, that’s pua ladge

Different meaning, though you could definitely rhyme them in a poem.

Aye fog is first and ladge is basically Shan/unfair.

Offensive that he gets to share a pitch with someone so talented. Hendrick should put in a complaint.

I'm not entertaining the rumour by engaging in the debate but you could surely argue that Roma have a better chance of winning Serie A than we do of winning the Premier League? 

[The College Dropout]

Desperately need another passed in midfield. Could be at CM or wide. We just need attackers that can pass it forward.

Aye but what is that worth ?

 

Could they become a CL powerhouse like Juve of 5 years ago?

Being pedantic…

 

goalies are not restricted from playing out /up field. They are just the only ones permitted to use their hands which is why their shirt is a different color. But they can go anywhere on the field they want.

 

So by definition then rush-goalies has to be first-man-back. Else it’s just the keeper playing up/back

[/pedant]

You try to explaining that to a gang of little Geordie radgies playing 7 a side with a caser ball on waste ground with jumpers for goalposts in Thatchers Britain

 

Rush keeper - the kid in goal has approval to also play outfield and it’s agreed he won’t get paggered for doing it by either his own team or the opposition 

 

Fog man back - anyone can be keeper, but only the 1st defender to reach the goalmouth can handle the ball without getting paggered by the opposition 

 

Any other interpretations are sheer lunacy

Thatchers bloody Britain. Fog man back and rush keeper were the same thing as far back as Heath's Britain

That's why I so confidently stated rush in the first place. There was a Wiki article I found https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_goalie that seems to infer its unsurprisingly usually to even up teams with uneven numbers up but I still don't understand what extra rule it's actually implementing considering a 'keeper can venture upfield if they really wanted to anyway.

 

Granted I'm a southerner here so I'm fighting a losing battle if no one up north deemed rush goalies the same as me.

Possibly so, but I was conceived in '77 and wasn't playing footy on the streets in the Heath years

And as a schoolboy in the early 80s…. The name “rush goalies” always confused me as Ian Rush never played goalie
