For adding the gap in the middle, couldn't you place one hemisphere on the table, then put something half as high as the gap you want between that hemisphere and the beach ball, then do the same on the top, so its all supported and you don't have the sticky tape everything? say a narrow roll of top either side, then remove it after you deflate the ball again...

Brilliantly unsatisfying...i mean you would think either the creators or players of the game would have come up with a way to tackle and add some fast paced chaotic action...look at subbuteo!!!

@nmdono Ай бұрын

I think that players of the game have come up with their own rules to improve it. Obviously I’m just mucking about in a one player version, but I think a defending team could flick a player within an inch of an attacker and he was classed as ‘tackled’, but it is famously unplayable

Just seen just about the most uplifting video I've ever seen.The channel is called 'Love Ro&Ra' - it'sa couple of twin? girls introducing and explaining and reviewing a modern production of Subbuteo Football from a company address in Stoke Newington (iirc from the video). Absolutely brilliant explanation of rules and how to flick properly, Total enthusiasm, very precise and accurate explanation, crystal clear critique of some aspects of the product and... a comment about it being easy to play, hard to master, and easy to get out and pack away. A lesson in how to make a KZbin video and what a refreshing change from us boring old farts. Understandably, comments are turned off, hence my mentioning it here

Illegal flicks! Pedant, me! Used to have this, with these teams among others, but sold it about 1972. It was a far, far better game using advanced rules with both players flicking to block or at ball at the same time. Bought it for son in mid 1990s but I'm pretty sure the players don't move as well as in my day. Love the reproduction of the Carlos Alberto goal - just like watching live in black and white

Having just googled Subbuteo, the pick list to the right of the screen is lots of Subbuteo plus... "Who is Vivienne Westwood, the mother of punk rock?" Bullseye! Best search I've done in years! With both Subbuteo and Sid Vicious, a contemporary, from in and around Tunbridge Wells!

Still got my set from late 1960s along with scoreboard, fence (pretty much essential if you want to avoid losing the balls), and a few teams, including West Indies. It was OK but nothing like as good as the football. Also need a grown up as umpire or simply decide to ban LBW. Had the flat plastic football version around 1961, with pitch made from army blanket, then the 3D floodlight version from mid 1960s. Rugby was also a mixed bag. I do regret selling my football set with lots of teams when I was about 16 in 1971 - I'm pretty sure the players were better than what I bought for my son in mid 1990s. Fishing really was just like the real thing - mindbogglingly boring. Wonder if I've written something similar on this page a few years ago. Growing up in Tunbridge Wells, you couldn't get away from Subbuteo. Pretty certain the cricket version would have come out a few years after the match depicted here. Cowdrey would still have been playing but many of the others were surely retired. If I pull it down fromt he shelf, I'll have names from Kent and England and West Indies around 1970. Met prospective son-in-laws parents recently and we swapped comments about the Indian teams to that era

@cuebj 2 жыл бұрын

For slow as the real thing - you should have tried Subbuteo Fishing! Got it, played it twice, stayed in the game drawer and didn't keep it when parents died. Didn't expect it would be worth a bit of cash. Subbuteo Rugby didn't work well but, as with Football, it was much better if you played advanced version with both players flicking at ball or to block at same time. Still got my original Cricket and Rugby but sold Football so my set comes from 1990s bought for son and it is nowhere near as good as 1960s - the players are lighter and don't do the controlled spins you could do with the older set. Probably the main reason I stopped playing Subbuteo about age 15 was I injured my fingers at real rugby and could no longer flick Subbuteo figures like I used to. Anyone else injured out of a board game?

Great vid, as is your cricket one. Still have cricket and rugby but not played either for 50 years. Aren't you limited to 3 flicks per figure? Growing up in Tunbridge Wells, we had the company down the road and permanent display at the bottom of Nevill Street behind Church of King Charles the Martyr. It only worked well for football. Anyone else ever try their Fishing game? It was utterly dreadful. Also had the Five-a-Side Football which was good but fragile. I think they did hockey too

@nmdono 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Stephen, glad you like the videos. The 3 flicks rule was only in football. The bit in the Rugby video where the Ireland player is slowly inching the ball upfield is classed as ‘running with the ball’ and has unlimited flicks as long as he’s always behind the ball and I THINK it can’t land more than two inches away. What’s missing are the opponents flicks where they can try and block his run and tackle him. I’ve never properly played the Rugby game but I gather this is where the game falls down, as the player in possession has to carefully dribble the ball but defenders can streak upfield in one flick to catch him. Never done the fishing game, I saw it being played on the Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing show recently. Would love to get my hands on a hockey set but they’re very rare and go for £££s

@@nmdono Had the rugby game but it was deeply flawed. Football was good but the better you got the more like an all-court game it became. We used a polystyrene ball (from Pro-shot golf) it changed the game for the better in my opinion. It slowed down shots, shortened those 70 yard passes and made the goalkeeper more realistic. Cricket was the best IMO but only if you had two good players. Hockey, never got my hands on it.

Awesome!, what is on the site of the factory now?, surely it’s not still standing!. Do you know of anyone around the town that painted the figures?, I believe they were all painted by local housewives?, I guess you got lucky if you got a team painted by someone with a good talent or unlucky if you got a set that was just rushed together. I remember like yesterday, when I was a youngster buying sets in the mid 70’s the shopkeeper would always open the box before you bought it to make sure you were happy with it. No matter what team you wanted, the shop always had it!, happy days!!

Fantastic video. I’m half way through making my first Frank head now. My input to making a Frank head is this (not that there is anything wrong with your masterpiece of course): instead of papier-mâché you can use fibreglass. It doesn’t take long to dry and the whole thing can be done in one sitting, also it’s much stronger and won’t go soft. I bought a fibreglass kit for £15 which included 1kg of resin and 1m2 of matting which was plenty enough. The method is the same as papier-mâché but as I said it’s much quicker to dry and much stronger. I can’t fault yours though, it’s really fantastic, you know it is, it really is.
