Used to play when I was primary school age. Me and mates used to get World Cup fever and while we watched live TV games, in the background, we played tournaments. Happy days 😀
Excellent man, love that proper Subbuteo memory
Greatest game I ever played as I kid and I grew up playing the very first Fifa and have seen it's whole evolution (still love it). I remember having some v old teams, Peru in an old school box, god knows where that is now. I reckon it may have been worth something.
It was gems like the original mega drive FIFA that stop lots of us playing Subbuteo I think. I've got Peru side from the 70's very popular side in Subbuteo
Watched this as I got my boy a set for Christmas and I haven’t played it in so many years I forgot the rules - if he likes it it will give me an excuse to get my old stuff out of my parents loft, so many happy memories looking back to the teams I used to have.
Welcome back to the game, really hope your boy like's it. It can become a bit of rabbit hole, trying to get the all teams you one had (and wanted)
@@SubbuteoCollector yeah already spent more time that I’d like to admit looking at the stuff I can remember - can’t wait to see what’s in the old man’s loft
@@mattevans4159 I do love a loft find
@@SubbuteoCollector I know I had some interesting bits - 2 very old 60s teams (Southampton & Chelsea). A Tottenham purple 3rd kit from the Klinsman era. Mostly looking forward to what teams I’ve actually forgotten I had
@@mattevans4159 I am too ;-)
Just bought my 6 year old this, I had it as a child as did probably all of us but had no idea on the rules. Thank you for this video
No probs man, hope your boy enjoys it.
Just talking to an office mate and explained this football game I played as a kid with my brother (I'm 49)...HANDS DOWN THE MOST FUN but I haven't it in over 35 years. I think I will need this in my life again. Thanks for the video.
Excellent! Glad yo enjoyed. If you wanna go down memory lane some, there is loads more subbuteo on the channel. Tons :-£
All about having fun when I was allowed family around we use to have games and my cousin was shocking couldn't shoot for toffee but all about having a laugh.
Can’t be worse than my shooting
@@SubbuteoCollector haha no mate cant hit target
@@rgray1228 sounds like we’d have a great game lol
I've never actually played the game but I remember the stories in my old Roy of the Rovers annuals.
Oh the nostalgia.
Is now the time to play
Thank you so much for making this video. I haven’t bought a set yet but I found one in a vintage game store recently. I really want to buy it and try to start a league now. Thank you for making these rules so simple!
No worries. Glad you enjoy it. Did you buy the set in the end?
I just bought this game for my son for Xmas. This was an excellent explanation to the game..I want to know as many ins an outs of the game as possible so we can just play when he receives the gift and this helped big time! Thank you!
No problems, I really hope he enjoys the game, there is an app if loads of rules on it too... I helped make it www.englishsubbuteoassociation.com/app-landing-page
Great video. I ran a league at boarding school 40 years ago. Rules were almost exactly the same. We had a referee too. And 2 fouls was a yellow card and 4 a red so we'd use a subsitute. Oh, we had numbered players. The flicking keeper was great - 4 kicks though - and could only switch back once they were in the goal area (6 yd box). Great memories. ⚽️
Red and Yellow, bet that got moody
@@SubbuteoCollector I think people checked which player (number) they were using. They'd switch them around a bit too. 😊⚽️
Hello Stewart, thanks for sharing. I love the contents of yours videos (mix of knowlegde , entertaining and fun). Thanks to share your passion about this fantastic Subbuteo game. All the Best and Happy New Year.
Happy new year bud
Nice job :) Great video.
I must say I like the older advanced rules that allow a defensive flick only after the attacker is over half. That’s an easy enough house rule :)
that the beauty, as I say play how you want and don't let others say otherwise
Great video mate, perfect for us casual players. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
Thanks pal
Just bought a set for Christmas been a long time since I played it!!
Great video!!
👍🏻👍🏻😎
Did you play it over Christmas?
@@SubbuteoCollector
Yes!!it was brilliant I bought it as a present for my nephew,played a couple of games,it was just as I remembered it.
I’m going pick up something for myself now!!👍🏻
Great video man.... looking forward to cracking open Subbuteo with my 11yo soon.
Excellent, enjoy it buddy
Just asked the mrs to get me my first set for Christmas. She’s bought me the barca set, can’t wait to play on Christmas Day. Hopefully Santa will bring me a toon squad, al be owa the moon if he does like haha. Thanks for explaining the rules, super easy to follow the way you’ve explained it. Cheers pal
Excellent pal, really hope you enjoy. Top Mrs you've got there
@@SubbuteoCollector belta mrs can’t wait
New Sub here! Just wanted to say that I love your content mate! Thanks for this vid!
No probs pal, thanks for subbing. Glad you enjoy, loads more coming up in the new year
Good little video simply and plainly explained showing the way subbuteo should be played using your own rules if you want and for fun and having a laugh keep the videos coming keep safe and happy new year
Cheers buddy, I'll certainly continue trying lol. Have a great new year bud
New to subbuteo....this video really helpful. Thank you very much.
No worries an, Hope your enjoying the game, check the ESA site maybe their is a club nearby you can join www.englishsubbuteoassociation.com/
but how beautiful is the subbuteo! nice video as always! and best wishes stu!
All best pal. Thanks so much
Great video. I have just got back into after over 4 decades away from the game. Me and my mates used to setup a game on my mums dining room table. good times. I must admit, I'm not a fan of the flat bases and being able to take a defensive flick every time the attacker takes a flick. It just slows the game down, and doesn't let you build up an attack from your own half. The 1968 advanced rules are the way to go :)
There are so many different rules, as long as you enjoy it, thats what matters Thanks for Subbing the channel pal. Thanks so much
Great vid, haven’t played the game for years. This gave me the basics for the game and going to play now with my dad. Thanks very much. Great vid
Thank you pal. glad you enjoyed it. Enjoy the game, loads more Subbuteo on the channel, Subscribe and you'll see it all
Very helpful and well presented - thanks!
Thank you buddy :-)
Great video,I’m thinking subbuteo will be a great birthday present for my youngest who’ll be hitting his teenage years in a few months time!
Thanks again!
The perfect present! Really glad you enjoyed and hope he enjoys playing even more
Hi mate, great video its great to see some people still into subbuteo i thought it was just me... Love your set up, I also collect now and have the same ground set up as you.. Thanks for video ive subscribed keep going would be good to see your collection
Thank you pal, means a lot. There is a great Subbuteo community out there. Hopefully I'll have a room tour in the year :-)
Love the Videos, Subbuteo is new to me, being in the US, but I love football…. Excited to find set and get into it a little …
Hey pal, glad your enjoying the channel. There are clubs in the US, seach UsA subbuteo and your find their site
Can’t beat LW
Thanks man!!
So excited to get started ..
Appreciate it
Nice video mate 😊 as a basic guide that was very good ⚽️😎
That’s was the idea, cheers bud
New watcher here - havnt played in about 40 years but bought a set 6 months ago
Welcome back to it, and I hope your enjoying. Great community around the game on social media too with loads of people coming back. Loads of different vids on the channel too. Subscribe and you won't miss any, and you binge watch me if you wanna (sounds naughty that)
For someone coming back to the game, great re-introduction thanks. When I was a kid, I played on the carpet on the floor. I don’t think I even played by the rules. What wooden surface did you put your pitch on as it looks smooth and true. MDF? I bought some plywood and it’s ok but flexing I think so not a true roll. Might change to an MDF. Love the channel.
Proper subbuteo on the floor. Yeah now with adult money I use 18mm MDF. Can’t go wrong with that. Really glad you love channel thanks for watching pal :-)
@@SubbuteoCollector great thank you and I’m enjoying playing again, but might go more the collector route. So much to buy, so little time 😄
You are awesome, sir, thanks for this.
Thank buddy, no worries at all, hope your enjoy
This is great and seen a few of your videos. I played these casual rules as a kid and then in casual leagues set up when i went to university in America. I'm thinking about starting a Subbuteo club in Cambridge but wondered if these rules are OK to play? I'm not so into the tournament rules I've seen
Yeah they are fine to play. Your find they start to merge to the FISTF rules in the end. Which is what happened at our club.
Thanks mate I’m going to try it
Enjoy. Load more Subbuteo on channel to if you go down the rabbit hole
Very entertaining! My flicking is also rubbish!
We all start somewhere
Great to see you playing
Shows why I don’t play some shocking play right there
@@SubbuteoCollector you need a practice partner. As you said, beer and a good laugh. Not so straight forward these days. How ironic.
Nice simple rules Stew 👍🏻👌🏻 which will probably end up still arguing like in the FISTF tournaments 🤣😂 Merry Xmas 🎄🎅🏻
All about family row on Xmas tho right lol
I play a lot of games on my own,thought I'd have a look,I think the keeper should be allowed make a normal save rather than being put in a position in the goal.
How do you mean?
New subscriber great content very informative as am new to subuteo
Welcome along man. Thanks so much hope you enjoy
Love your videos now we're really getting into Subbuteo! Just out of interest, which match is the "golazo" that features at the start of your videos taken from... sounds like a match from the 80s?
Now you asking. I couldn't tell you what game it rom. I know I from being used at the end fo the intro to Football Italia on Chanel 4 in the 90's... czcams.com/video/kHXfHFNlJ_w/video.html
@@SubbuteoCollector Thanks!
Have it as my ringtone Golden age of football
Dig out my old school Villa team and set recently in the loft. Time to restart the league.
The time is now
I've been thinking of getting my own set, do you have any recommendations where to buy? Especially a ready made board with boards/stands.
Ready made with a board the best place is Flickforkicks, but they are not cheap. Most people make there on board with MDF. You will never get stands with a pitch either. They are somehting you build up manually hope enjoy setting it all up
I've never seen this game in my whole life. I never heard about it either... until Karl Pilkington said he played it as a kid. I wish I had this as a kid. It looks like it's better than Foosball.
Its like a cross between, chess, football, and snooker, give or take. Why not get involved now?
😂😂😂 That sign off just made me laugh, lol
You couldn’t write it could ya
@@SubbuteoCollector Struggles of the creator 😁
How much flakes for subbuteo
You can't be offside if you have no defenders in the shooting area, otherwise offside moves back to the halfway line, which wouldn't work in subbuteo, in your example the last defender was on the line meaning no attackers can be offside, quite an important detail for offside decisions, great channel stu merry xmas
Lol, not on my rules, nice and simple like real football (if there is such a thing). Really glad you enjoy the channel pal.
@@SubbuteoCollector lol, with your offside rules stu, I would put all my defenders up by the halfway line, every game would finish 0-0, thanks for replying, up the hatters
Cheeky counter attack I’d be off (I’m talking like I’d actually be able to pull it off lol
@@SubbuteoCollectoryou don't take yourself too seriously lol, adds to the channels humour
Thank you for this video, good overview.
What happens if you pass the ball to a teammate and he gets hit, can he still make 3 hits or only 2?
Nope then 3 flicks resets :-)
Thanks, that's what I'd prefer lol.
Another scenario I'm wondering about is: When you want to pass the ball, but hit accidentaly the opponent's figure, he gets posession. Now is it also the case if you hit his figure but the ball gets bounced far away? Imo then the player should get posession who's closer to the ball, but in the official rules that's probably not the case (haven't found this situation yet).
Hi just a few questions. I am watching electric football hero’s 5 aside game. In his tutorial a goal doesn’t count if the ball hits a defender. Is that the same in full size. Also, you can’t score from outside the scoring zone. If I hit a ball outside the area and it rebounds of a player inside, does it count. Watching the rules on CZcams is a lot different to learning from a manual. Me and my family and friends used to play all the time, now I realise we played it all wrong :). Like scoring from the halfway line. We didn’t know the part where a defender can flick a player after an attacker flicks. You and others have taught me a lot. Wish I could go back and play them games the right way :) cheers
Lots to answer, so if it hits defender and the shoot was taken in the past the scoring line, its a goal. On smaller pitch all depends on what weather you want use the scoring line or not some use the half way line and yeah it can count if you hit onto a plane run the scoring area he scores.
Hi. No scoring this side of the line. Can I kick the ball from this side of the line and score from a deflection of a player inside the scoring zone. Thanks
Yes, I think so, there are so many variations to the game it really depends what code you are playing
Anyone know when next collectors fair is arranged for? Thank you!
Copy and pasted from Facebook… WE CAN CONFIRM THAT THE DATE FOR THE OCTOBER 2022 SUBBUTEO COLLECTORS FAIR IS 30TH, WE HAVE A NEW VENUE TO REPLACE THE ONE AT RENISHAW. THIS IS BECAUSE THE VENUE HAS BECOME UNRELIABLE, BY NOT SHOWING UP ETC. WE ARE NOW AT BALBOROUGH COMMUNITY CENTRE, ITS THE SAME JUNCTION OFF THE M1 (J30), AND A MILE FROM THERE, SO EASIER TO GET TO.
THE OPENING TIMES ARE O830-1400 FOR SELLERS
0930 FOR BUYERS. PLEASE BUYERS ABIDE BY THIS TIME.
THIS IS SO WE CAN GET SET UP AND HAVE EVERYTHING READY FOR YOU.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE A TABLE, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE.
THANK YOU MARK AND PAUL
"What would happen in real football"
In the era of VAR, god knows!
No VAR in Subby lol. Unless your dab hand at setting it up with mobile phone
I like subbuteo
I guess Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online ?
Always good to get the basics out but at 1:35, 11 outfield players was a bit of a surprise! Other than that, nice job
Just trying to sneak an extra one on lol
@@SubbuteoCollector Klopp and his 5 sub plan would luv ya
@@edmowl your not wrong ;-)
Always preferred the Dolly Parton formation myself. You cannot beat a 9-2-5 set up.
@@martinhowe1422 Is that better than DD?
Hi. There’s a rule I saw when I first collected. It’s about broken players. It said you can’t replace it with a spare figure, you had to glue it and put it back on the pitch. Is it the same now
You can sub nowadays, when the ball goes out of play I believe
Here Christmas 2022 merry Christmas
I hope you had a great xmas, and I hope subbuteo featured
Hello, I liked this game very much. As a Turk, I wonder when we can hit the ball with 3 moves in this game.
Hi greeting’s to turkey. Sorry I don’t understand the question. Maybe lost in translation
These more or less seem like the rules i used to play. I remember shuffle flicking though. Never used spare for kicking as a keeper. Shame i never had any lads only 3 girls. Guess it might have to be playing with myself again
Get the girls involved, they even do a lionesses set nowadays
Result of waspa tournament on 19/02/2023?

Hi just found found out one is fortuna Dusseldorf 1985/86 😀😀
The other is Coventry city mid 80s
could you please tell me how I can buy this game by online store, because I am from Egypt
Loads of places really. If you want a new set, then amazon. Second hand lots of sites but not sure if they will send to Egypt , no reason why not, try ebay, subbuteoworld, astrobase, and subbuteolab
@@SubbuteoCollector
Thanks alot
@@Hanzfrank no probs, good luck
👍
:-)
How much stadiums for subbuteo
The single grandstands your might be looking between £25 and £50 at the moments maybe more
Can you play it on your own
Yea lots of people do. People do it in lots of different ways. Seach the ISSL and see solo league
11outfield players? One minute in.. good old stu 👍 he’s right though do it how you want
lol. yep you heard it, I like to cheat lol
I always feel the yearly kits destroyed subutteo they should just sell plan red Liverpool blue with white socks Chelsea and sell teams as uniform as possible dui put price I I can get paint cheaper
I dunno? For me the iconic part is being able to have all those replica kits in mini form I love it
NO DRAGGSYS simple as that
Flicks only
Can you sell some of the our Subbuteo stuff on CZcams?
Nah I'm not a seller. I have small stall at Subbuteo with a few bits but nothng much
Ahh
Thanks for reaching out
:)
:-)
Can you do a tutorial on Subbuteo Rugby 🤭🤣
Wow, excellent idea. But I'd have to learn it myself first. No idea how it works. Its an idea for the future tho.
👍 Used to have all 3 Football, Rugby and Cricket. Not sure if I still have or have been lost in time?
The Cricket version was given to me as a Xmas present by one of my customers that I delivered newspapers to in the 70's as a boy. Think it belonged to their son who'd just left school and gone to University.
Cheers mate for your reply 😀👍
@@michaelgott9524 no worries man i try to reply to everyone. Love to hear stories like that
Hi
Hey
Doesnt make sense the ball is to big and the players should be biggers
All part of the game's charm, you can eat different size balls that all play different. it's more compliant than it should be
Anyone else here becasue Nick Frost had a little man in his hair? 😂
Black books, nice
@@SubbuteoCollector I was always interested in the game as a kid but living in Canada never knew anyone who had a set! The show remarked my interest so it was great to see what it's all about! :D thanks for the vid!
Slovenia the video
Slovenia?
Is this what married men do instead of sex?
No, we do that too.
It's embarrassing how bad the figures still look in the 2020s. Miniatures have come a long way in board games but absolute dog shite still in this game.
The figures looks amazing, more detail than on the kits. What’s wrong with them?
@@SubbuteoCollectorTake a look at how good figures can look from Zombiecide czcams.com/video/q5IY_5r8rYk/video.html at around the 9:40 mark. You can get so much detail such a wrinkles on clothing and even nostrils on a figure that size. There's no reason for the joins to be showing anymore like you can see in your video at 19:20. I'm not criticising you, this is a great video, just the models they are still using.
Made me chuckle watching this video 😅
Erm, hopefully in a good way lol
The orginal fifa
Kids will never know
@@SubbuteoCollector yeah kinda sad
