Did they?? Or does everyone at the adver think they are hilariously funny and clever??!

It's becoming really big! Anthony Marshall is on FiveLive at 1.45 pm talkin about it!

TBF that was clever.

Fair play to the Adver, I thought that they were just going to smuggle in a camera phone and produce some dodgy, grainy images so the Subbuteo thing was a smart move from them.

It pisses all over Plymouth's cartoon images too.  Bunch of amateurs.

Credit where it's due, these were genuinely imaginative and funny. And worked a lot better than you might imagine. Showed them to the Saints fan at work today and he cracked up, before reflecting on how this ongoing ban is making Saints look like arses. Which I'd guess is precisely the reaction the Adver were aiming for

The first picture is wrong tho. V's first goal, there was only one defender, not two.

There were two, the one behind Pericard is a bit closer than what actually happened though

made the national news :)

When i was a kid me and a few mates would draw the whole 92 clubs out of a hat and have Subbuteo FA Cup.................Crewe were the last winners.

In 2009.

All my games of subbuteo used to end up in a match of standing as far back from the table as you could and playing the one bounce before the half way line and then straight in to the goal throwing the ball game. It's quite similar to the longest stream of words without any punctuation game I play on the forum now

1974 i think.

 :)

Most of the goals resulted in the scoring model hitting the net harder than the ball that would trickle over the line after bouncing over a scrambling keeper on a stick.

Can someone please run off some t-shirts of the Charlie celebration pic for sale at the S'ton game at the CG next week!?
