The Independent Subbuteo Forum (est. 2002)

So glad the evening appears to have been successful.

A most appropriate and symbolic memorial trophy.

As promised, here are the early season League tables: Division One --------------------Pld.....W...D...L ....F..A....Pts. Greyson Town....3.......2...1...0.....4...1....5 Aberdither Utd...3.......2...1...0.....5...3....5 Eastroke Utd.....3.......1....2....0....4...3....4 Hodwell...........3.......1....

Aberdither Looking Solid Aberdither United 2, Mill Town 1. These two teams, both containing some new faces, for rather different reasons, were facing up to each other after steady, rather than spectacular, starts to the new season. Much of the early play was end-to-end, but with few chances being c...

A cheerful and entertaining brief listen. Obviously the hand painted Derry City away team is a treasured item.

Good luck on Monday. Do you think the new name for the shooting area boundary will catch on?

What a shame for Haiti. A horrible way to go out of any tournament.

Well done to Haiti; just the type of result which makes cup football what it is.

Couldn't they find a Tunisian referee?

Will produce early tables after the next round of matches. All very tight just now, due to a rather frustrating series of draws. After two rounds, no team has won or lost both its games.in either division. Another trend that has been occurring this season is the away team scoring first in well over ...

Last Season's Top Two Looking Good. Bullford 1, Eastroke United 1. These two meet early on this time, with Bullford having an away win behind them at a re-energised Blundell City, while Eastroke need a late equaliser against big spending Mill Town. Tactically this game would be similar to the Chari...

Good luck and best wishes for a successful and enjoyable occasion.

Around the grounds: Aberdither Utd. 1-1 Greyston Town; Iveley Park 1-1 Mill Athletic; Blundell City 0-2 Bullford; Eastroke Utd. 1-1 Mill Town. So the match between two of the supposedly more defensive sides produced the most goals. It also had the biggest winning margin, even though the winning team...

Hodwell Show How to Win Brimpton Rovers 0, Hodwell 3. There are two reasons why this was selected as the featured match. It provides an opportunity for a couple of lower profile sides, and it would be expected to produce a completely different type of match from the Bullford Melchester contest, whi...

Well played, Sir!

Congratulations to the Toffees, too. Good to see these guys keeping very busy, with their skills still in demand.

Familiar readers may have spotted, from the above report, an unreported goalkeeper change at Bullford. In the end this transfer, initiated by Mill Athletic, didn't proceed, with the final decision made after match was played. Although Pat Dunne guested in this match, for the league season about to s...

Welcome back! We're all here again for the new season, which, as usual, begins with the Charity Shield between the league champions and the cup winners. Champions Bullford have bought in two new players, and one of these, Duncan Ferguson, leads the attack, but the other new boy, Tony Cottee, has not...

The luck of the Irish!

I hope the celebrating locals, outside the ground, invited you to join them for a complimentary glass of the black stuff.
