- In this month's bumper Edition we have 2 new pitches from Pegasus and Astrobase, the launch of the Football Monthly "Muddy" pitch, 6 Pro Bases are tested plus a review of Super Soccer. There will be the latest competition result and a new competition to tax your footie knowledge.
Just found the show, loved it. I used to play subbuteo with my father in the late 60's early 70's, on a cloth pitch, fence on the table top. My Dad and uncle had the heavyweight teams, We played on a cloth pitch but was amazed at the Astro pitch when it came out, and i still have them. My father and i had a league, 5 teams each, 10 mins a game, and every game was recorded on paper and i still have them records, all 42 seasons. Sadly my dad passed 11 years ago, and at the funeral home i slipped in little Kenny Dalglish into his pocket....i will never get rid of the teams (all 50 of them, worn to death, and as for the records in my dads hand, quite beautiful to read.
Now i have a new house, time to get the pitch out again and create some memories.
Wow, I had no idea this existed, I own a Subbuteo board from when I went to Italy after HS. I've never had the opportunity to play though
Still have mine up the attic. Was thrilled to see the Hibees in the intro to this. My Hibs team have an injury list a mile long (i.e. They are all patched up with glue)! Gosh this brought me back to my youth. My brothers were a good deal older than me (the younger of the two was 6 years my elder) and when they were teens had little time for their pesky kid brother. But the younger of my brothers would play subbuteo with me so it has a special place in my heart. Sadly, he passed on a few years ago, but I will always treasure my memories of our Scottish 8 team "super league" which strangely - and without any fixing ... Hibs won!
Lovely story Tony. :)
Thank you for sharing your memories
Cool made up story. Prove it by posting a vid of these sets
I've not played subbuteo for 40 years ....im 50 now and have just discovered this channel oh my word its best channel on CZcams.....its made me want to start up again but this time I'm going to do it properly on a table and build a stadium and not what I used to do which was play on the floor in the living room hoping my mum wouldn't stand on my players or hoover them up ....keep up the good work great show
I don't know anything about table football, never played it either and I found this video randomly on my feed. I'm here because of how entertaining and insightful this show is. Great stuff
I don't generally comment on youtube videos but I feel i must tell you I am a 39-year-old American and avid board gamer. Until this very moment, I had no idea this existed. I am a big fan of dexterity games and was about to sink $300 on a crokinole set. Now I am off to find out as much as I can about this fascinating hobby. Thank You so much for sharing and great job on the presentation!
Thank you. Great to receive comments such as these
Could expend hours watching these videos.. it is awesome 😊
Fantastic,no idea how this popped up on utube for me to watch,such fun.Thank you for making this I am off to watch some more.You made me feel nostalgic,you made me laugh(in a very good way) and kept my interest throughout,bravo.Good luck with everything.
So excited to find your channel! I was an American kid living in England in the late 60's and early 70's and I became a huge Subbuteo fan! Sadly, when we moved back to the US I couldn't find any kids even remotely interested in Association Football, so my Subbuteo teams, pitches, etc. wound up entombed in unopened moving boxes and likely got donated or thrown out by my parents after I left home. I look forward to re-living some great memories!!!
Just found you and watched with a huge smile on my face all the way through, brought back many happy memories of my stadium edition with the tape recording of the crowds from MOTD playing under the main stand :)
Loving the muddy pitch great idea. Reminds me so much of the 70's.Sure the Baseball ground gave Derby an advantage when playing at home.
Great show as always👍
Good stuff. This is relaxing to watch on a day off. Love the “studio” as well, the aesthetics caught my attention right away.
Hello, hello another excellent edition and can’t wait to see the whole gang back, brilliant review of the various pitch and base types, already anticipating the next show, great stuff Keith
Just discovered the channel. Certainly brings back some happy memories of Subbuteo tournaments during the summer holidays when we were kids. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next edition.
I live in the United States and have just got started playing Subbuteo...and I love it! It is very similar to "Electric Football" or Miniature Football here in the United States, with leagues, special bases, special figures and stadiums. Of course I am talking about what you guys call American Football. Go to You-Tube and type in Electric Football for examples. The similarities are amazing...two different games, but much of the same! I just would like to say thank you to all of you guys in the UK for this program! I watch it every month and I have learned so much from you and groups on Facebook. God love you all and long live Subbuteo!!
Wow, brought a tear to my eye, played as kid and once had a job where we played for 4 hours every night in our own league .
Excellent as always. Thinking of you & Mrs Keith - hope things are improving for you both. Can't be easy.
How have I only just found this channel! Amazing!
Love that muddy pitch, great show Keith and best wishes to your wife.
Recently got back into Subbuteo and now hooked again. This a terrific channel, love it. Funnily enough I’ve just dug out my Son’s Tomy Super Cup football from back in the day! Keep up the good work you’re doing a great job especially on your own. Be good to get the whole gang back to help you out!
I love this guy's passion! What a brilliant bloody video!
I used to play this as a kid , I remember getting the World Cup `94 Special edition for xmas that year
This is just amazing right up my street loved subbuteo since the 70s
Thanks for another great show. I am tempted by the muddy pitch.
Love subbuteo..as a kid .had my own world cups and European cups and League championships. Love the 1970 edition 1974 so much on your videos . I thought and still do the world cups in 70 and 74 were the best ..winter pitch looks incredible. The subbuteo always be really special to me ..love stay save and take care everything who makes these videos..⚽️👍
Great show - Thanks. Not much social distancing going on in the stands, but at least you have the crowd sound effects like the televised matches that have been shown this week. Brilliant.
Fascinating as always, cheers Keith!
Thanks for another table topping episode! Love your muddy pitch idea; my brother and I used brown powder paint, a liberal dose of water and a sprinkling of sawdust to achieve the Baseball Ground vibe back in the early eighties. Made for a great authentic match day experience but completely ruined the astropitch! Keep up the great work, I look forward to the next episode of my favourite channel.
What a channel!!!! Your videos (as well as watching the review of the bitter 1990 Subbuteo World Cup!) have renewed my interest in this marvelous game...orders have been made, and eagerly waiting for them! Cheers!
Wow. Just stumbled upon this, brings back some brilliant memories!
Just found your channel and the only thing I'm able to say is... 😲 It's really awesome and impressive to see all those great games, beautiful old boxes and this overwhelming stadium. Thanks for giving me a direct flashback to my childhood and a missing explanation to my girlfriend why I'm going to buy Subbuteo and all the other stuff you definitely need for it 😂 Greetings from Germany and stay healthy
Absolutely love this show, always getting me excited when it pops up in my subscription box. I’m only 17 and love seeing the older stuff which my dad used to play with when he was younger great job👍
Im 16, i used to play with my dad when i was little, so much more fun than fifa or pes imo
@@Carl-ul9yi well it's a very different thing isn't it? Cant really compare sebuteo and fifa as if they're actually comparable xD
Thanks for another great show .
It's come along way since I was a kid :) that pegasis pitch is gorgeous!
Love that muddy pitch and love the show. Keep up the great work
Loved it, thanks Keith! Look forward to seeing the rest of the gang back next time. I'd be interested in a muddy pitch, a nice homage to my late Dad, who I used to play against back in the day 😀
Hi Keith. Great show as always. The new pitch looks great. It really takes me back.
I would love to play on it. Brian Moore commentating,
Steam rising from the rain soaked crowd,
The smell of bovril wafting through the crowd.
My childhood stars playing in the greatest earer of english football. Brilliant
Another absolute belter of TFM , great stuff Keith 💙⚽️😎
I’ve been around for years and never seen this great channel before ⭐️👍😎
Fantastic show Keith and love the muddy pitch. Keep up the good work.
great to see you back !!!
Great show keith,
Hope the misses gets better soon mate.
All the best.
my goodness that brings back memories
Great video as always. Really enjoyed the piece on the evolved bases. Could you do a piece about how one goes about selecting the bases, players and stickers and which companies offer what with price points? And / or on ready made tables with options and price points?
Keep up the excellent work and I look forward to seeing the full crew back on our screens. Not that I've not enjoyed your excellent work in these difficult times 👏🏾.
Brilliant as always Keith, Darren in Canada!
Reminds me my youthful days ... great 👍
Yet another great show.
That muddy pitch, oh my... makes me want to build a stadium just to display it, it went from looking kinda realistic with the other pitches to a 4D chill across my cheeks and a feint smell of Bovril lol, so authentically 1970s 2nd Division, love it
Great to find you , my mum gave me my Subbuteo a year or two ago and my son couldn't believe how my reading the numbers on the box I could name the teams , hadn't seen it for 35 years , super memory
Great imagination to come up with the muddy pitch and the discrete shooting area lines are an excellent idea, hope you don't mind me suggestIng think the goals you used were too modern for the pitch and looked out of place, older style 70s/80s would suit the character of a pre drainage era or lower league club pitches, looks great, I want one
I had the 1970 Subbuteo World Cup edition. Fantastic memories.
Keith
The programme just keeps getting better.
Stefan
Love this show!
equally arousing! Great work as ever!
Always cheers me up, this.
An idea for the match recreation. Barcelona 6-1 PSG?
I came across this channel by accident i remember playing this as a kid sweet sweet memories
Proffecional work in every detail and a hobby at the same time. Thanks Keith...make a video call to Smiffy and Danielle for a greeting in the show.
Having caught the Channel just lately, ive now caught up, Great shows to watch rearlly enjoyable
Nostalgia inbound............wonderful show, well presented and your knowledge on the topic is both immense and impressive!
Subscribed :)
Huge nostalgia watching these and finding your channel. My favorite Christmas present as a kid was subbuteo!!! i wonder if anyone knows of any clubs down in new zealand playing the game?
Just found this channel, I had no idea Subbuteo was still a thing, I still have some stuff packed away in the loft from when I was a kid, it was in the 80s so I had the cotton pitch, I knew someone would the astro version and another mate had the cotton which they used talc to simulate worn goal areas, off to catch up with some of your previous content.
I was going to say the same thing, my cousin gave me a suitcase load in 85 when i was 10,flood lights,stands the lot, cant beleive its still about,lol
haha are you me?
Great show Keith
I once tried to make a pitch on an old table-top.
Painted a large green rectangle, sprinkled it with green grass-dust obtained from a model railway shop.
Virtually unplayable!
This came up on my feed. Looks really cool! wish I knew about this sooner
This is great !! Please can you do a segment about the infamous ' Log Book' please ? I never played without it ! Thanks . Great Show.
Currently standing at 26 thousand views (and rising) for this edition of TFM. Getting famous, Keith. Excellent work. Well done.
haha thank you - truth is I come from a large family :)
Top show, as ever!
Brilliant. How good is the muddy pitch!
Love that pitch, great idea and made for a lovely game. Well done. I loved the orange ball as well, but I’ve never, as a solo player, liked the big subbuteo balls. I’ve always used my striker small white. Can I get modern smaller balls anywhere? By the way, I would like to buy a pitch if it becomes available. Keep up the good work.
Why am i enjoying watching this?
Well done! Angel in Los Ángeles
Always an education. Thanks for the view.
I saw my name on the list for the contest!!! Did not win but happy being here!
Enjoyed that thanks 😎
At the end of a match you should edit all the play together like a stop motion. Not as a replacement just as an aside and to see how it looks. Very neat, brought back memories of my own. Playing Subboteo with my dad and getting packs from a toy shop in Whitton called Papillon. Which is gone now sadly. Grasshopper Zurich were one of the first teams I got, I still have many in storage if anyone wants to buy some. I might sell the odd bit.
Great show. I would be interested in buying the english muddy pitch 👍
We couldn’t play many games because some big furry hooligan used to invade the pitch.
58k views! That's some increase! Thoroughly deserved though, great show for old and young alike! Hope June/July edition isn't too far off.
Just as exciting as real soccer.
I turned 39 today.
And I turned 40 by the end of this video! 🤣🤣🤣
Each to their own! I mean I still like a bit of Airfix. All the best! ✌🏻
A video about Super Striker would be fun. How many teams were made and why are they so hard to get hold of?
Love muddy pitch. Can I stick forks in it at half-time?
The base I am familiar with is more circular and shiny at the bottom. Why are those bases not used as much nowadays? Thanks.
That muddy pitch brings back sarurday football 😄
Keith keep dream on...in Greece we used to have playing fields with holes. Can you create one????
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, guys, nearly 50km views, where did that come from? Congratulations guys.Top Work
another great show top work (love the leeds utd player) ;-)
Good isn't it...and came out top of the test. have to say - I loved them!
I have many figures with the curved bases from the early '90s. Can I convert them to a more stable base?
do they still make these? where do you get the teams?
Tomy Super Cup Football is brilliant. I hope you enjoy it.
hi, are there any newer soccer games on the market besides subbuteo? Something similar to soccer craft maybe?
where I can find the Subbuteo Challanger Pitches?
On the muddy pitch you have missed out the muddy lines created by the two linesmen.
Yey 😁😁 you've made a 1000 subscribers
Hi Keith, enjoyed this. I wonder with your knowledge of table football games if you can help me identify a game I had before Subbuteo (it would have been the late 60s or about 1970/1). It was like a tray on folding gate legs but quite stable. Maybe about 60cms X 40 cms pitch size on a hard base. Now what made it different was that each human player had a green plastic rod with a magnet on the end, and this picked up corresponding plastic players on the pitch so in theory you could dribble, pass or drive the player towards the ball to shoot. There were goalkeepers and to the best of my recollection the ball was roughly the size of a Subbuteo ball, perhaps slightly bigger. My Dad and I switched to Subbuteo though because this game, the name of which I can't remember, had a flaw: when tussling for possession your rods got entangled more than you could manouvre the ball cleanly. Couldn't see it on your shelves. Hope Mrs Keith gets better soon, and thanks for any info.
A company called Toogood & Jones (great name) made magnetic football games (Super Soccer), Balyna was another with 2,4,5 and even 11 per side, Soccerette was a third. They were very popular post war and into the 50s
@@TableTopYears I think you have cracked it Keith, I followed up your suggestions and a illustrated set of Balyna Super Soccer looks like the one we had, although a later box illustration from at least the 60's. Cheers!
Miss these vids Keith! I know you’re busy dude but it’d be fantastic if you’d think of doing an occasional one?! 😊
Hi, new subscriber. Where did you guys get the goals in your stadium from? They look really cool. Really enjoyed the show!
Goals came from Subbuteoworld.co.uk and Astrobase.eu
Wasn’t there a bbc program on subbuteo but based in Scotland.
Wher buy a muddy pitch??
5 seconds in and I subscribed!
I never really understood Subbuteo., it seemed a bit weird to flip the player just to touch a ball out of proportion, and the little man flying away, breaking ,or something else. I'd like to see a match somewhere.
