Nobody make Borto angry!...

Humble apologies for the delay...!

I created this model about two seconds before the photo was taken...

Josiah Royce (1908) set out one of the most original and important moral philosophies in the recent history of philosophy.

His notion of “loyalty” as a virtue ethic, in which our loyalty to increasingly less immediate ideals, becomes the formative moral influence in our personal development.

As ‘Olds’ become increasingly able to form loyalties, the practical and ongoing devotion to OldSubbuteo, a cause bigger than themselves, the OldSubbuteo loyalties become unifiable,

Then the Olds are increasingly better able to recognise that the highest ideal is the creation of a perfected “beloved community of Olds” in which each and every person shares.

Also, as neither player can use the goalkeeper to save the shot, we are allowed to use 2 goalkeepers and a kicking keeper.
This clip shows Fabio's kicking keeper saving on the line!

This afternoon we play again, and this time Fabio 'Donald Crowhurst' Bertola scores the winner in injury-time!
The play had been free-flowing (albeit a bit slow!), and I only have one defender Fabio showed no mercy...

You can hear the full time ringer, but we played some 'Fergie-time' to allow for the shot



Here is slow motion action replay :-)

It was a long game Otrabla Bla Bla...

2 hours, but 0-0 at the end!

Sudden-death shots decided it

Here's a clip from a game of Slow OldSubbuteo yesterday between The Finger (in Southend-on-Sea) and Donald Crowhurst (near Milan)

Where there's a will, there's a way...

Ingenious!
As we get older, and cannot bend over the pitch, you can raise the pitch to save our aching backs!

Love that lonely chap rolling the 'campo in terra battuta'!

Dedication!

Gascoigne? Adams? Jones?
Floodlight stanchions for roof supports?
Crowd control fencing for turnstiles?
Arm amputations and re-fixings?

We have a genuine project here!!!
