Football rules when we were kids


1. - The fatty was always the goalkeeper
2. - The game ended when everyone was tired
3. - Even if the score was 20-0 whoever scored last won.
4. - No referee.
5. - Give a foul only if it was very clear or someone started to cry.
6. - There was no such thing as offside
7. - If the owner of the ball got angry, the match was over.
8. - The two best players couldn't be on the same team and they knew that too.
9. - If you were chosen last, it was a big humiliation, it meant nobody wanted you.
10. - you even played 2-3 hours in a row.
11. - The match was stopped when an elderly man passed by
12. - Neighborhood players were enemies forever.
13. - Those who had no idea about football remained reserves or at maximum defenders.
14. - When the big ones were playing, you had to leave the field without protesting.
15. -There was always a neighbor who wouldn’t let you play and threatened you to take the ball and put it inside.
16. - If there was a bet, the game was very serious as if it were a final.
17. - The goals were two rocks or two jackets, but there was always a team with the smaller goal.
18. - When the goalkeeper was pushed, the goal was invalid.
19. - The rules were established before the match even started.
20. - If it was a penalty, remove the fat one and the best one goalkeeper would appear.

This is a true tale,
So I was younger than the other lads all playing. I was about 11-12ish they were 15 upwards. I kept asking can I play but they wouldn't let me then, one of the older lads (right bully) said

"Here (gave me money) go the shop and get a big bottle of pop and we might let you play"

So I agrees then when I'm walking off I heard him say to his m8,
"Mug"
So I got a bottle of Irn-Bru, undid it , took a big swig, poured some away then I p*ssed in it to top it up.

I gets back and gives it the lad and I moved away,
He takes a big swing and says *Wtf !! What's this ? ,that's f**kin awful" and spits it out.

I said "Pissed in it" at that point I was off sh"t off a shovel quick, it was a good job I only lived 200yard away as I had half a dozen after me.

I spent the next month dodging this guy. He did end up catching up with me and gave me a slap but after that things were back to normal

I'm surprised he could tell the difference between Irn Bru and fresh slash.

Or if the ball went into some bushes and the lad who went to fetch it stumbled upon a porn magazine. ;)

We played against a brick wall with painted on goals.

No goal limit if it came back into play off the wall 🤣

Hat trick in 20 seconds 😆

This thread is just brilliant. All the above posts ^^^^^ are accurate and true. Brought up on a council estate in leeds with thick jam jar nhs specs and always scrapping with the other kids. I spent hours and hours outside. If your a 70'80s kid sure you will have seen this below but its still fantastic.

We had this piece of grass in front of the shops with a big rose bush in the middle. We use to call it "The Dog Sh*t Derby" there was that much dog crap on it. We'd have love to have what they have today. Even were I am there's a concrete enclosed 5 a side with lights but parents wont let them go on it incase there's trouble. Some parents wrap them in cotton wool mine were glad get rid
