Table Football Monthly: December '20 Edition

Two fabulous competitions in this month's edition of Table Football Monthly. Plus The Hasbro Subbuteo Years, TAF 4-2-4, Striker and two brand new Astropitches from Subbuteoworld and Astrobase. The infamous Subbuteo World Of Sport compendium is reviewed and we also showcase "Training Pitch" Target Boards and Keepers from Bad Boy Boxes.

Table Football Monthly has kept many of us going during the period of lockdown. I was addicted to football and Subbuteo from about 1966 to 1973. I seem to have the same memories as Keith and Smiffy, even if they are slightly younger. Sadly, I allowed my mum to get rid of all of my Subbuteo teams and accessories (as well as my football programmes) when I moved away from home to study for a degree. Now, I am looking to retrieve many of these items. I like the innocence of this show and the presenters. The songs are great as well.

Still watching one episode after an another and each time discovering something new and on the other hand make me relive my childhood days. And watching you play makes me wanting to be as skilled as you. Superb channel.

Hello from France. Great video as usual. In the past weeks i received my muddy nylon pitch, I LOVE IT ! Thanks you Keith. Subbuteo can be very addictive (smile) and the past weeks i purchased many stuffs on the net and i also bought many things at Subbuteo World (great shop, very fast and very reliable). I hope than the Brexit taxes will not be too high for the buyers outside UK..... All the Best and Happy Flicking.

[@johnbarnes888]

Thanks for a great episode. I discovered this show in the summer of lockdown and it's a real tonic as well as inspiring me to get back into the beautiful game. That training pitch looks great. Shame it doesn't quite play particularly well at the moment but that can be 'ironed' out. I look forward to seeing a few more duels with Smiffy in the new year. Merry Christmas!

[@b17marko]

Never knew Subbuteo had done something with Speedway, I bet they will be very hard finds, also just want to thank you for keeping the shows running and entertaining us all during this very difficult year.

[@MaxMustermann-bk2jf]

That muddy Astro looks awesome 😱 Wish you and Pete all the best to find the magic formula to make this a retail version. People will tear this from your hands 😅 Thank you for another great episode and happy new year to everyone.

[@simonwade9282]

Should an Astro really be muddy though ? Was the muddy pitch idea to recreate heavy pitches from the 1970s rather than be an image on a perfect pitch ? Perhaps it is more about what the pitch looks like rather than how it should play.

[@Levin-ey1bu]

If breakdancing is now an Olympic sport - then Subbuteo should definitely be one too....

[@josefcamilleri6934]

finally someone thinks about me that i played this since 1996

[@milanidis]

Aaand they're back! A great deal of useful info on the pitches. Keep up the good work!

[@peteherbert8782]

Thanks for another great show. I always look forward to my hour of nostalgia every month. I absolutely love all the memorabilia in the studio and great to see new subbuteo teams and ideas especially for the pitches. Look forward to another year of shows. Merry Christmas to everyone. I wonder if I will finally get that Dukla Prague away kit this Christmas.

[@andrewsharpe6317]

Thanks Keith and Team. That was so enjoyable and just what I needed this morning. Have a peaceful and safe festive period.

[@None12445]

Love that muddy pitch, just love it. Takes me back to watching the game saturday afternoon from the famous teams you have in England, while we in Denmark did not🙃... great great idea! 53:38 it could be a realistic feel of playing on a pitch like they did back in the 70’s, with area’s where the ball was faster than others...but of course not turnament standart....to bad, it looks fantastic and you should send it out to us that would love the different feel you have when you play on a pitch like that in real life 😉. Love your show, keep it up - don’t mind if I do 😄

[@sunshinecoastsubbuteo799]

Well done again keith n gang. Brilliant show. Hopefully next year you will all get back together for future shows

[@1989worms1]

Another great episode of TFM to watch on a relaxing weekend, I prefer watching TFM videos on weekends. Hope you had a great Christmas and a happy and safe new year! Keep up the good work. Cheers from Portugal.

[@jimmer1159]

“More jam than hartleys “ love it 😊

[@stefanuhlemann7588]

Thanks for your efforts Keith. Another great show. Happy New Year!

[@briankellymusician]

Loved your song that was Awesome!!!

[@brettgardner7575]

As always , outstanding KRO

[@soitra]

Great stuff Keith, really love these videos, so much informed comment.

[@joaoneves593]

The dream team was my first set, i received it in 2005 when I was 9 so I started my subbuteo career when no one cared about it. Looking back, the dream team box seems useless but for a 9 yo kid that didn't had a table to put the pitch, it was the best thing in the world. You could easily set it up on the floor and it made the trick. Only downside at the time, the players, i could only wish for more players to complete the teams. Funny thing is I only saw a lw our hw team years later, I didn't even knew they existed. Now with 24 (probably the younger member in all those subbuteo fb groups) and as I keep growing my subbuteo collection I look back at that dream team box with a full heart

[@shaundunne7281]

Another fantastic episode Keith and the team. Keep working on the Muddy Astro pitch, I am sure your time and efforts with Pete will pay off in the end. It looks great so far.

[@IndeedeeGraphics]

OMW! Danielle in a Man United shirt - fanatic Man United supporter - what a combination! remember when Bruce Cantona Giggsy etc wore that - and Sharpeys shuffle that SAF hated :D :D :D

[@TheCollectorPunk]

Thanks a lot, great episode. Happy Christmas.

[@mod7930]

The light blue astropitch looks fantastic on this video.

[@ROWZED22]

Finally! Thanks for another sterling edition!

[@MaxMustermann-bk2jf]

This "World of Sport" Box......😳 I bet it's better to have it than need it 😅 Again a great show and it's nice to see you three together again. Thanks for another fun and interesting hour. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you and your families!

[@IndeedeeGraphics]

Oh yes - about to be hugely disappointed - if you didn't do a december vid - you guys are so cosy and christmasish! Cheers from Denmark! And Marry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@pras12100]

Hi Keith, Nice new scales, much better than the old ones I complained about ;-) Patrick

[@TableTopYears]

All part of the service :)

[@zaxariasantonakis1197]

Happy holidays to all of you! Next season you may make a 5 a side episode. nice work as always.

[@subbuteo-gameoftheday4878]

Really hope you get the astro muddy pitch right and good luck with it! Gave your muddy cloth pitch to my Dad for christmas as it'll hold more memories/nostalgia for him but I'm still a tad jealous and can't wait to be able to get one for myself 😁

[@WarmasAsunnedcat]

Thank God you said mentioned Christmas it was like watching the BBC for a while

[@paschalgreen1184]

Great show looking forward to 2021 shows

[@ROWZED22]

Green with envy re:the compendium. I always thought it was more expensive than buying individual accessories, etc?

[@shantydoctor]

Choice, the Bad Boy keepers are great. Imagine any pitch you want printed onto astro.

[@JagBetty]

Those ‘rocket launcher’ throw in figures took me back. 😂

[@jasonsample71]

Great show! Any suggestions on a source for Subbuteo stuff in the US? I know you guys are based in the UK.

[@LordZontar]

Fwheu --- started to get concerned when there wasn't a November show.

[@spaztekwarrior]

Sweet... glad you’re back :)

[@ROWZED22]

424 was always advertised in Goal! and latterly in Shoot!

[@sergek8]

Subbuteo world of sports??!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!

[@o.p.7013]

Great show as always! What's the generator app on Danielle's phone?

[@Ray-M59]

Great vid as always! I was number 29 in the comp...nooooooooooo...

[@SeventhPhoenix]

Pegasus astroturf is very slow running, good only for solo old style subbuteo...

[@marksmangaming9306]

I'd love to win the NUFC Hereford sets so I can replay the game ant put history correct this time. 50 years a Newcastle fan and still smarting from that game.

[@marksmangaming9306]

In 2015 watched Morpeth town beat Hereford in the FA Vase final, Hereford even paraded their bull in front of 20000 fans, morpeth had a few thousand. The 4-1 victory was sweet as can be.

[@positivelycurvedpikachu]

did they review that france '98subbuteo? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sergek8]

Yes! Finally!

[@MrJonno85]

Any chance of a feature on the Sport Billy Subbuteo game?

[@wilfarnold6747]

Is there reason for the 'barbie doll' behind you during the muddy astro pitch segment?

[@sunshinecoastsubbuteo799]

No way!! Did I just win again???? Hell yeah. Muddy pitch all the way

[@Rich10000]

I have a dream team set from when I was a kid and I really like the pitch. Does anyone know if there is a similar pitch for sale today with the same material?

[@bulldozzerchannel]

Where I can buy ASTRO muddy pitch?

[@PeterPan-oe4mu]

I don't have facebook. Where else can I purchase the BBB goalies ? Does he have a website ?

[@mod7930]

There's some for sale on eBay.

[@PeterPan-oe4mu]

I had a look there. No luck. Oh well.

[@engkozino9470]

Does anyone know who or where I can make a soccer board or make mini players ?. I have a soccer game I made and believe it will be the best one ever made because it's so real.

[@michaeldevincentiis9584]

Yay!

[@TableTopYears]

Late but we made it!!

[@michaeldevincentiis9584]

@@TableTopYears thanks Keith...worth the wait.

[@StevieSobek]

Best way to start the holiday period. Stay safe everyone.
