Tip of the day

Watch out for devious corner routines ....

Is it on Youtube yet Ralph? Funny as...Jim's face was a picture.

what happened?

I need to upload my blackberry software to download the clip - I'll give it a go later in the week (hopefully the instructions will be straightforward... )

Don't worry though, this clip will defo be available on the lionhearts forum before long!

Cool... Nice one Steve.

Jon...you'll have to wait and see

Put it this way... Leveche has never before travelled that North.

...aye Leveche indeed but I was actually referring to an incident in the experienced old head from the North's game with young Adam

Ahhh... I recall you telling me now. Sorry bud.

no need...I felt guilty for all of oohhh two seconds I did give the young fella a clue..."ready mate ?" says I before executing the deed...told my Dad and squarely blamed him for the tactic..he displayed no shame

That's evil Ralph!

Poor lad...but then it should learn him

This has reminded me to look at a couple of photos I took last year when Adam came round to play the first ever game in the new home of the stadium of fingers (before the stadium was up).

...and there it is - Adam defending a corner and the opportunity to do a Ralph!




Unfortunately I failed to spot it, cross the ball and shot wide with the ball ending up in the paste bucket!

...and I lost 1-0

Classic...poor Adam. I'm sure he'll get his own back soon though.

Hope the programmes were all in order when you got back Ralph.

I daren't ask...I'll open the cupboard very slowly and take a peep

ok old boy,i can wait - just!

all looks a bit of a damp squib if you ask me!

are you talking about sneaking a goal in direct from the corner using the goallies rod?
steve lucas did that to me at jim's house one lionhearts a couple of years back.
was last kick of the game to sneak a 1-1 draw.

sort of..actually did it quite deliberately off the back of his base...

risky going for the rod..too hard it will go straight over..not hard enough it won't go in got to hit the base everytime ..(sadly no smiley for smart arse !)

There you go spud...this shows the gist of it.
I didn't quite press record quickly enough for the actual taking of the corner - but then I wasn't exactly expecting there to be such a strong gust of wind to be appearing so suddenly!



Also, here's the corner retaken - Jim clearly shaken up by the whole experience firing the shot in just too late!
(Nice left/right hand combo by 'Mr Ambidextrous' though! )

Nice one Steve...Sums up Oldsubbuteo for me. Lots of laughs... Brilliant mate. Thanks for posting.

Legend mate!

Goes down in history as far as I'm concerned!

It's the flicking keeper flying along the fence in the first clip that makes me laugh. I never noticed, until you mentioned it...classic

Brilliant Steve , well done for posting , a quality moment for sure
I didn't notice the kicking keeper either Ian , that just tops it off , fantastic

That was a memorable day Jimmer. I really enjoyed playing the friendlies i had with you and Steve. So many laughs...munching on an apple and not having a care in the World. Loved it...

"Which hand's the ball in Jim?", says Spudder holding out one hand, as he's eating an apple with the other hand.

"That one" says Jim, pointing to the only hand held out to him.

"Correct - you've got kick-off" says Ian, opening his hand to reveal the subbuteo ball...

Jim duly kicks off and the game begins...

8 minutes later a strong gust of wind blows across the pitch...

Well you never know with Jim...he's just as likely to point at the apple mate...and get it right
