Never to the dark side Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 In the sun newspaper today,they are showing a story from the Swindon advertiser that shows the Southampton v Swindon with SUBBUTEO players. They are showing these Subbuteo items,because southampton won't allow any one to take pictures at St Marys unless they are the official ones. Have I got a case for taking out an junction against the Sun or the Swindon advertiser for pinching my idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich-TWSC- Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Your cheque is in the post Dark Side. There cannot be many more whacky ways of getting around this ridiculous banning of photographers at St. Mary's. Plymouth drew pictures, Bournemouth used images from a fixture from the 1980's, Swindon used subbuteo. I image they'll be a 'phoenix from the flames' effort.

CiderHider Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Shameless plagiarism Gotta go one better mate, next time do a stop start frame by frame whatever is called and move the players ' just a tiny amount' then take another shot, then move the players 'just a tiny amount' and turn it into a MPEG or something, i dunno.. some smart ass geek can probably do it I expect.

Cheers mate...it's been going over two years now and is very popular, especially in Italy, where we have over 2000 players. Gigi Buffon and Paolo Di Canio are also big collectors.

spudski Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 It's all a bit of fun and escapism from our daily lives. In saying that, there are Professional Subbuteo players on the continent, which is sheer madness. But over there, it's seen as a serious 'Sport' and Cool, rather than seen as a childs game, like it is over here. Can anyone remember the 'cartoon' like drawings that used to appear in comics and Newspapers detailing goals scored? They were more fun than the actual photo's.

Calculus Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Subbuteo was very popular when I was growing up a zillion years ago and am glad to see it's still going strong. For those that think it bizarre you're not even close - it represented a whole alternative reality. Other than replica players you could buy stands, foodlights, television cameras and even a pitch invading dog. (My own real dog once invaded the pitch and in a carnage ensued, many players perishing). I can even remember seeing a team for sale bearing orange shirts and white shorts. The box said 'Blackpool or Holland'. Proudest moment in my own subbuteo playing career was winning a school tournament in which around 50 kids took part. Final victory was achieved with my team of Hollywood All Stars defeating Don Revie's Leeds United 1-0 in a tense final, Sophie Loren grabbing the late winner. Happy days!

spudski Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 It looks even more amazing in the flesh so to speak. I know it looks real Geaky, but in fact it's far from it. As i write, I'm hold up in a hotel,in Cambridgeshire, awaiting a Subbuteo Tournament tomorrow. Fifteen lads have flown over from Italy to particiate, and have bombed it into Barnet to catch a 'traditional' English game. We're all football mad, love a beer and a bit of banter. Tonight we're all out for an Indian and a few beers, and tomorrow it's game on. It's all a good crack, you get to meet some great people, travel and hang out with a good bunch of lads and their 'WAGS'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
