In the Stadium of Fingers forever...

Happy New Year to all!!

It's not often you get the opportunity to play through the evening, and into the next day! OSC Milano does this with style!

Thank you to all the organisers, for giving so many Olds an enjoyable early Christmas present. So nice to play three games with three of the faithful.

To Migio - Some truly inspirational whistling - second to none!
To IlMenta - Thankyou for giving me a 1-0 start - it kept the game close!
To Lonewolf - A great introduction to me, of the OSC Amici Miei!
To Shultz82 - Thankyou for scoring in the last second, to give me rest of the evening free to set up the 'glow-in-the-dark' pitch!
And to Fabio - Thanks so much for making it possible for me to attend!

Here's to the next time...!

Hmm,… which QPR players will be selected by QPR?
How about a 1974 flavour?...

Dave Clement (Defence)
Frank McLintock (Defence)
Don Shanks (Defence)
David Webb (Holding Midfield)
Gerry Francis (Midfield)
Stan Bowles (Attacking Midfield)
Martyn Busby (Forward)
John Docherty (Forward)
Don Givens (Forward)
Richard Teale (Kicking GK)
Manager: Dave Sexton

That's funny!

I choose Southend! - Thank you

After further research, it appears I might be destined for for the Tournament of the Unfortunate Knobs! 😂

I wonder what the trophy might look like? 😅😳🤪 one to take pride and place a trophy cabinet! A great conversation piece when entertaining the in-laws and the priest!

Grazie Mille for allowing me to take part! 😃 I look forward to traveling 1200km to play in the Tabelline Bigul! A wonderful idea for the S’fortunato Cialtrone! 👏

Great idea!!

Teofilo Garagnas - The Old Subbuteo legend
Subbuteofilo - The sweatshirt inscription
Roberto - The gentleman

Here's a nice little clip.

It shows Chris, playing his first ever game with flats, paired up with Simon, who has represented England in Subbuteo, and a veteran of the flats TSPA circuit over here.

Check out all the advice and instruction given by Simon 'on the fly', as Chris manages to defend a difficult position.

The only instruction he withholds is not to call out a finger foul and a couple of dodgy 'front finger flicks'....letting the game run to achieve optimum engagement, learning and fun!

Cheers Ralph!

Note that Simon's keeper is touching the ground though...

In this instance though, there was the holding midfielder who nodded the ball on to the left winger! 😄



Here's the 00-scale replay...





The VAR screenshot, which suggests the goal shouldn't have stood! (the round brown blob in the foreground is the player's base [Wolves], to confuse issues further! )
