goalie when ness

FYP

We used to play in school playground using a tennis ball!

[mondatoo]

we used to play a game where first person in box could handle the ball as goalie the fights we had about that game

Yeah we played this 2,who'd a thought such a useless thread can pan out so welll

[Josedinho]

Secrets was a good game. Keeper picks a category (prem teams, arsenal players etc) and each player picks somebody in that category and tells keeper their choice. If you score you get a guess, guess somebody else's team/player and they are out.

What did people use to call the game where you had 1 goalie and everyone else played individually to score 1 goal to go through each round?

wembley singles

[mondatoo]

I say we play wembley doubles at next blonde bash, forget about the 5 a side this plus the pens with laz would be incred

used to be fly goalie in our playground - and if you were really desperate one play time it used to be any man in the area

obv I didn't go to your school but are you sure you're remembering that right? the 2 things you mention are actually the same (called monkey rush down my way but fly is acceptable). rush was with a designated keeper

nope in our playground it was "fly goalie" to mean one person was designated goalie but could also play as an outfield player (usually used in games where teams were about 5-8 a side) and we played "any man in the area" to mean anyone who was in the area could pick up the ball if game was 5-a side or less.

We also played with a tennis ball though if that went on the shed roof or over the shed into the canal anything remotely round would do

With us it was knock-out wembley for singles and wembley doubles when in teams of two

we also had "headers and volleys" which does exactly as it says on the tin - you could only score with a header or a volley. If you missed 3 attempts without scoring a goal whoever missed the third attempt would have to go in goal. If you were in goal with the 5th goal went in you got soft beats (one soft punch of every outfield player), if you were in goal when the 10th goal went in it was medium beats, 15th goal meant hard beats and if you were the goalie when the 20th goal went in then it was the tunnel of death where all the outfield players lined up with their hands against the wall of the canteen and the goalie had to run thru the "tunnel" while everyone kicked lumps out of him. It got interesting when upto 18 goals because then everyone wandered further and further away from the goal trying to set up others rather than risk the shot in case they missed

how we got away with the tunnel of death with the dinner ladies i'll never know

We call it cuppies. Had a game with my nephews yesterday, they still can't beat me but I have to actually run about now to win!

Dinner ladies aren't allowed to participate any more.  PC gone mad I tell you!

[gatso]

tunnel of death sounds great. we never had organised beatings like that

[AndrewT]

The game was simply called world cup to us.

+1

[RichEO]

Wembley singles and Wembley doubles.

Rush keeper meant you could play out. Stick keeper was usually if it was an odd number of players, e.g 5 vs 6, the team with 6 players would have stick keeper who wasn't allowed out. We had monkey rush, but I don't remember if it was different to rush could be that anyone is keeper without nominating.

Cuppy and cuppy dubs. Some wierd lads at school called it champs? Wtf!

And it was goalie when needed or goalie wed ned!

Non of this when ness!

Heads and volleys were good but no where near as good as cuppy.

We'd say 'are we lekking cuppy dubs' my old man said it was laking but we always said lecking!
