I had both the football and rugby versions of subbuteo. We basically made our own rules up about passing and infringements when we played "rugger"......and that scrumometer contraption for feeding the scrums!....4 times out of 5 the ball would roll out of the ends and my dad would call a penalty infringement BUT the penner would ALWAYS be given to his side no matter who had the put in. And the constant "possession" flicks of the player in possession of the ball and measuring who was nearest and had possession. And calling for a drop goal attempt consisted of asking for the goalposts to be put on the table, (errr, I mean pitch)......now you don't see that too often at Twickenha. Happy memories
