Anyone on here play table football?

Anyone here play table football? If so, I bet I can beat anyone who is brave / stupid enough to challenge me. It does have to be on a decent table though, preferably one with no glass covering the pitch. I believe I am the greatest player of all time...

I accept, my hardened wrists are faster than a McLaren F1 on a straight of 100miles! Currently 7 games undbeaten.

No spinning though, I pay the proper way

Havent played that since my poly days in Brighton in the late seventies - are there many pubs with tables?

Seven games unbeaten? Ha ha ha. When my mate had his table last year I went from January to August only losing one competitive game (we used to take it quite seriously). No spinning goes without saying and you have to buy everyone a drink if you lose 10-0. When and where?

I'm in the Smugglers some lunch times, would say the Font but they are and dont have their table anymore.

I dont play religiously though, only when the need arises.

Take on Kinkygerbil, he has to be the jammiest table-footballer in the history of the world.

used to play at the open house but they got rid of it too, and they had an air hockey table too for the complete retro childhood experience. moved to make way for more tables though- capitalist bastards!

How about a knockout tournament in one of the Brighton Pubs for the "NSC table-fussball trophy"?
With a couple of quid for entry. Winner takes half the prize money, and the other half to cover costs, with the rest to go to the Alive & Kicking fund
Anyone wanna organise it?

January to August? thats nothing, ha ha ha, bet you only played twice. me and my mate played first to 50 (thats games not goals), 11 ball table in the Albert. The deal was that you had to win by two clear games, so in the unlikely event of 49 games each, the loser had to lose 51 - 49. I beat him 58 56 in the end. Most games went the full 11 goals, so thats 1232 goals, - say 20% = first to 1000 goals.

that went on for a couple of months last year. and was event 1 in our pub game decathlon. wanna here the rest?

BTW you'd probably beat us both anyway
we would have given anyone a decent game of doubles though.

I lost 32-19 to Senor gerbil (again, games not goals), but I maintain at least 14 of those were pure luck.

Right. Smugglers one day next week, I have lunch between 1 + 2. By the way I haven't actually played for about three months, you reminded me about it in your other post about 'Brightonised' pubs.

Good idea. I'm in. Anyone else wanna organise it?

 

[Marc]

does sound good but will need organising, could make it a Pool comp aswell in the Smugglers...that'd get more people interested when Seagulltonian organises it as it was his idea

I agree, he has to organise it now. I'm not great at pool though.

Oh Shit !!

OK then, if I've got to organise it, where does everyone want it?

The Smugglers? Where's that in Brighton then?

Signup here if you want Table Football & Pool

We'll see how the numbers go and I'll seriously try and organise it then!!

B cks, S t, and C k. What have I let myself in for !!

 

[Commander]

I'll start a new thread about this mate, we'll organise it from there (been in the pub all lunchtime so feeling a bit more lively)

So long as you don't call it "fussball" like they do on Friends, fine!

You need to talk to Moggy and Chez, as they think they are THE WORLDS BEST

Then they are very much mistaken.
