The Independent Subbuteo Forum (est. 2002)

Been asking the guy about his ohw france...getting answers from him is like pulling teeth!!

Your match reports are very realistic and highly descriptive. I feel like I am there, or reading the report in the paper.
I forget its just a game of Subbuteo. Nice one.

The reply was that youngsters find the traditional method of the player not following the ball onto the pitch difficult to master . If the ball is hit full face, yes it is I suppose. But in snooker terms, give it a bit of side. That's not too difficult is it? As someone said, " kids eh!!"...

It worked well for the leagues, but we used the bracket syst...

I’ve read everyone’s comments although I disagree that using Zeugo flats makes it a completely different game. It’s fundamentally the same of course, just minus spinning, but with the added addition of greater shooting proficiency. It’s easier to hit lofted shots which leads to more goals which I t...

Very nice indeed. Love the idea of interchangeable adverts with magnets.
It's all about the detail!

Fantastic, great job. Can stands behind the goals be removed for actual play??
