Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 tic-tac - the proper way to chose teams I hated tic-tac because folk started adding all these pish moves that were basically cheating and resulted in them winning the first pick.

We played it up at the West Calder astro-turf with one of your mates, you had to stand a certain distance off your goal line to give the kicker a chance. ach, ah must be getting old - astro turf wisnae invented when ah played it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxteth O'Grady Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Shapes. Good post Peanut, shapes was a far more better game, the ability to blooter the ball against a wall as hard as possible or making contact with the wall from ridiculous angles often with obsticles such as cars in the way was a true game of skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Some "games" of no-rules british bulldog in the playground when we were kids really were x-rated stuff .... parents today would be horrified to think that their kids might be subjected to that kind of thuggery in a school playground.....maybe our parents would have been horrified too altho we never let that thought stop us.....

Malcolm Tucker Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Cuppie Doubles Aye, cuppie and cuppie doubles was exactly what me and my mates called it as well. Great game unless your talented mates were playing.... ....I was once played against Calum Elliot. I'm such a ruddy name-dropper. Wally was good an' all. Smack a ball against the wall first time. If you missed the wall/took 2 touches you were out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Always enjoyed indoor football in the gym when you used upturned wooden benches as improvised goals. Playing a wall-pass off the climbing bars before deftly side-footing a winner from anywhere inside the spaghetti of volleyball/badminton/basketball lines gave me a sense of well-being. I can almost hear the distant sound of squeaking gutties on linoleum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornhillHearts Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hence the cry "Nae funnies!" Funnies IIRC included lamposts: which was when one of the tic-tackers would fall forward in an attempt to touch the other tick-tackers trainer thus giving him first pick. Or spitting towards the other tick-tackers trainer with a well placed gobbin'. Seen many a scrap ensue when said gobbin' wasn't too well placed.

If you missed the wall/took 2 touches you were out. We tended to be pretty evenly matched. Most of us are moderate players in comparison with one another. One or two who were murder at it though. I never played against Calum Elliot, but I was ok at cuppie, so I'd have fancied my chances. Im talking in the past tense here, I'll probably be playing it again in the summer:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 These mental games are an integrial part of growing up. If I never got a battering in hunt the ^^^^ I wouldn't be the man I am today! Probably the finest named school game of them all. Unless of course, like a boy in my school, your surname was Hunt. He took more than his fair share of doings from packs of folk all chanting 'Hunt the C***' as they laid into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
