Rush goalies was when the keeper could play outfield too.  There was another one for anyone in the box could be keeper, can't remember what it was called.  Spot goalies maybe?

 

Was called Monkey Keeper when I was a lad.

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 

 

 

 

 

 

That's what we played in the Felling.

Fog man back in Throckley / Newburn / Lemington

 

edit: I think I remember the ‘posh’ lads from Chapel House / Chapel Park / Abbey Grange etc called it ‘rush goalie’

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

“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 :lol: .

Would Roma have a higher ceiling than us?

 

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?

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
