Great video. At the grand age of 56, I have just got back into playing the game, just joined a club of other like minded nerds, where we play every 3 weeks. All great guys who like me, love the game, I always have done. Gives a bit of escapism for a couple of hours, makes me feel like I’m a kid again and I don’t mind that at all!, keep flicking!!

Old man I'm 53, that might be why I sing when I play... Mo Salah, Mo Salah...

I love seeing unique hobbies; no shame in finding ways to have fun

[@gzaos]

The ending was so perfectly unscripted, it's beautiful!

[@dancranflicks]

That final clip had me dying! Nice feature, thanks for covering the lovely game of subbuteo!

I look forward to my visit to Glasgow to see the lads for the International open in February

The last guy commented that Subbuteo is not real football. But when you're really into it, and into your leagues, you can end up getting about as involved with them as you do with any real-world league you follow. When I was playing my tabletop dice baseball leagues for 11 seasons, I ended up getting more interested in those pennant races than I was with those in real-world baseball. Hobbies can be that absorbing.

[@paultiplady]

Where can I find a local League ???

[@wantsomestudio9684]

Where are you based Paul?

[@nickbertoli]

Is offside a thing in this game?

[@LordZontar]

Subbuteo does have an offside rule, whereas other table football games such as Futbol Chapas (bottlecap soccer) do not.

Is there somewhere to buy better quality bits other than looking for second hand older ones? Reviews say the latest edition is a bit flimsy. Thanks

[@wantsomestudio9684]

We play with stuff from Extreme Works and Astrobase. Pretty expensive but amazing quality. I'd suggest going to a local club and trying out some of the equipment there. See if you want to invest in the stuff we use.

[@chrisfunkton2153]

@@wantsomestudio9684 Thanks very much. 👍🏻

Stop showing non-game stuff. I don't need to see the underside of a table or 10 slowmotion faces.
