Not as much as Fifa 2007

I played back in the 1970s with two teams  - one was Norwich City and the other was Everton.  I wasnt much good.

I was playing today.  It's got to be the best footy game that time forgot.  Probably one of the best sports games ever I'd say.

My local team want me to take a set down to our ground so the young 'uns can play while their Dads kick cobs out of each other.  Should be a grin.

What is this?

It's a table footy game. It's brilliant, great with a gang of mates and a few stubbies.

check out Subbuteo on Wikipedia or try the site that sells it here in New Zealand - www.nztablesoccer.com

These are two of the first teams I ever got.  The thing with it is you don't have to be good to enjoy it!

Take GoldenBalls he's lousy in bed, but his boyfriend still enjoys it.

the call is good!

f**k nagging bitches and give me subbuteo please.  None of this crappy playstation sh*t also.  Subbuteo - a real man's footy game...

Just got my Grand-dad's set when he passed away in November. I'd heard about Subbuteo, but never actually seen a  set. Me and a couple of mates played all summer long. It's awesome fun. Kiwill had it right, don't have to be good at it for it to be a laugh. 

Cheers. sorry about your G'dad.

I've had some great games over the years.  Trademe has Subbuteo/table football - I bought a set from there recently.  There is a fair bit on there just now.

Had Subbuteo when I was a kid.  Somehow lost the rules before I was old enough to read them, and never knew how to properly play it.  That didn't stop me enjoying it.  Must dig it out next time I'm at Mum and Dad's...

If you get ever round to digging it out Dragon just pm me and I'll send you the rules. 

Golden Balls was obviously just crap at Sub. and chatted up his mates sister instead!

I used to have Poland and try to replicate the good old days.

Always loved the fact that the South Americans had dark skin too, and the scots were pastey white boys!

Hey I played Subbuteo back in the late 70's and so did my sister.  We loved it. In fact I still have alot of mint teams that I got from a tip to the UK in the mid eighties! Hung up me Subbuteo teams in 82!  Got no use for them now.  might try and sell em!  Help to pay off the Phoenix Gold season membership I bought on 2nd July!!!! 

Nice Avatar Macca B!!!!

My brother and I had stands, light towers, fences and camera crew as well. Always tricky to get back and use the keeper if you moved way upfeild i remember. We got a team (cant remember which) and painted them as All Whites! Glory Days!topiary2007-07-16 21:34:38

Yeah we had a grandstand and floodlights and TV tower, fence with advertising, coaches bench with subs, corner flags, photographer and those funny corner kick figures and grandstands!  I used to hate losing to my sister.  Come to think of it, hated losing fullstop!  My sister and I used to beat the guys all the time and they hated it!Aghhhh those were the days!  My sis doesn't do anything sporty these days! But I'm a sports nut!

You little rich kids make me sick with envy...

HI Ya All

it was a great game, me and a mate down in Christchurch would play it for hours, kept a few excercise books with teams, scorers, bookings etc.

Bloody hell, i loved this game, hours of fun, we use to get together playing tournaments through the school hols, have our own world cup between about 10 of us, the old ones are always the best!!!

First time i heard of  Subbuteo was in that show "Black Books", in the episode when Manny gets the new security system and the technician who's explaining how to work it has a subbuteo player in his hair LOL, such a great show

i have heaps of subbuteo stuff,have 4 full club edition sets,about 30 odd teams most in brand new condition,was going to sell some on trade me but market pretty flooded so prices are low,also have 6 playing fields and more bits and pieces,a few of my mates are into playing but most prefer ps or xbox

If you are considering selling it PM me

not sure if i'm selling at this stage will think about it,what are you interested in a full set or just bits and pieces.pm me with what you want and what your willing to pay and i'll let you know,
