Great piece of disciplined trombonism there!
Must weigh a ton, but the boy played on...

Also, some quality detail on those snare drums gullers...

I agree with Lee. This is the funniest episode so far.

Keep them coming.

Great Stuff, Gully.

Love the twist on the REF 229!

And as i was reading that, I thought it was gonna be hidden in the big base drum...Nice trombone work.

This funny episode reminded me of the last time i saw a marching band play at a football stadium. It was a tAshton Gate and it was raining and cold. The band were playing and marching on the pitch, when the rather large big bass drummer seemed to slip and fell staight on his back with the drum resting on his stomach pointing to the sky...Of course, the whole stadium errupted, laughing themselves silly, you can imagine the scene. However...what seemed to be a pure comedy moment, turned out to be one of the sadest things i've ever seen. The poor old fella had only gone and had a heart attack, and promptly died on the pitch...made even worse with his daughter by his side. A terrible thing to witness..

Keep 'em coming Gully...loving it.

Absolutely brilliant mate!!!!

Great stuff Steve , I would've had him nicked , bang to rights , he's a well dodgy geezer

Very good Spud. I'm glad you all seem to be enjoying these, great fun to do and I don't seem to have affended anyone yet. Now......who to pick on next?

Quality Spudder .
Steve , they're great mate , love 'em , still laugh at the " get yer haircut Race yer big jessie " every time

Thanks Steve, really enjoyed that (as always).

Great stuff , love that first picture with the sky and clouds Good to see the old ref 17 again too Steve .
Tell you what though , you should've had Spudder in there as the refs assistant , checking that the correct glue was used for the era of the team

Thanks all. Funnily enough Jim I think Spud could be featuring shortly.

Thanks Lee. As the saying goes IT COULD BE YOU. But not next week as I haven't finished with Spudski yet.

BRILLIANT STUFF, Gully! Absolutely love the latest.

You should put all of this in a self-publish book. It's still funny, even if you don't know the people mentioned.



A BESTSELLER, me thinks.

Excellent Steve , got Spudder down to a tee mate , especially the eyes

I see he's subscribed to the Movember vibe, too!

Brilliant...and yes i do have wonderful blue eye's or so i've been told;) You should put these in a little book Gully. Something like Blurb where you can publish your own. I'd certainly buy one. Fantastic work mate...really funny8)

Yeah, you should do that instead, Gully. My idea was rubbish.

Get 'em on the shelves for Christmas!

Sorry mate...Didn't see that. It's been a hard weekend of celebrating i'm afraid...

No worries, Ian. It was well deserved. Saints only managed to hit the target twice in 90 minutes! Our first league blank of the season! And we were lucky to get nil by all accounts.

With regard to the self-publishing idea. I was only playin' with ya. I put the customary chuckle at the end of my 'shocked and dismayed' post so you would know I was only kiddin'.

Great minds think alike.

All good mate...no worries.

Seriously get a tenner on City to make the play offs this season. Not joking.

4 wins and a draw at West Ham. Not a bad start for a new manager. Can't see him being with us very long though. Too good.

WTF... All of a sudden i'm Eddie the Eagle...

Mate...the mushrooms are seriously strong down your way...

Very entertaining...Me and whodunickabolickov have a great defensive partnership going.

Have a great day today mate...I have the biggest hangover ever...

Funnily enough I have eaten a few mushrooms recently

It's getting a bit bizarre, I think I need a break.

Brilliant, Gully!

Brilliantly bonkers Steve , love it

Don't break off now, Steve.

You're definitely in the zone. Milk it!

You know what they say ' stop while they still want more'

Still writing the ideas down but there will be a short break for Christmas. Last one for 2011 coming up this week.

Thanks for all the comments, really appreciated and keeps me going.

Every now and then a quote appears in Subbuteo that threatens the hall of fame...! "Spudski's dived the wrong way, but Bolokov's headed off the line!" is seriously one of these!

Great stuff Gullseye - always an enjoyable read

Issue 22. Last one this year. HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR READERS.
