Reply With Quote4, was surely play until the street lights come on and your mum calls you in when news at ten started.
Apart from the ones listed , we played to 10 goals half time then turn around
Only used a leather Ball on the Grass, if we played on the road whoever had the Orange Trophy 5 Ball in their shed done the honours
and dont leave it the Sun to Long otherwise you could bounce it and hit the street lights

Playing on a narrow patch of grass in our street: 3 corners = 1 penalty. And -living in Holland- there was always plenty of water near the football pitch... We became quite skilled in retrieving the ball without getting wet!

"Jumpers for goalposts, isn't it, wasn't it"
Oh, those Brazilians, you know? Circa 1970? Broke the mould. Theory out the window. Free expression of football. Uncategorisable. Is that a word? It is now! You know? Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.
My Dad says that when he were a lad if they did not have a ball, a blown up pigs bladder would be used.
Don't sit on the ball, you'll "egg" it.
Crab football
11. If the ball goes into someone's garden the guilty party has to go & ask for it back.
Even if it's that big scary bloke that works nights and isn't happy about you waking him.

No "toe-benders" and cannot play if you have new trainers on because your mum will kill you.
Rush goalies
Wembley.......... everyone plays for themselves with only one goal and goalie. As each player scores they go off and into the next round. When 2 players are left the one who does not score is eliminated. Play until just 2 are left then first to score 3 in the final wins. Games lasted forever.
What is this "football " of which you speak?
Keepy-Uppy.
Or fly goalieOriginally Posted by hhhh
Headers and volleys only.
If there is an odd number of players, then the team that is 1 man down can have rush goalie

We used to play in the street and always got rather uppity if a car had the audacity to drive down.
Now the same street is full of parked cars.
Cheers,

Next Goal Wins.
Flying netters - class. Save a shot at one end then run it down the pitch to score at the other.
Most important rule in our games was if someone with spoon feet (me!) wellied the ball off the pitch, they had to go "fag it" (regardless who was closest!)
*Exceptions applied if the ball ended up on the tennis or netball courts were the lasses were playing.
Took me a minute, different end of the country! This was "goalie in an out" round this way.
