Football Tables - A Pro-Player's Recommendations

Type 'Table Football' into E-bay, and you are faced with a bewildering array of tables and claims. I am a professional player and administrator of the game, with experience of playing at the highest level in the UK, Europe and the USA, having played the game for 30 years on a wide variety of tables, and offer my personal view on buying tables for home or commercial use. This does not represent official advice from the British Foosball Association (BFA) or International Table Soccer Federation (ITSF).

Question 1 - What/who is the table for?
(a) Young children (4-8yrs) - there are plenty of cheap tables around, but the Monneret make tables designed for children, and have held junior championships via the Football Association community programmes at league clubs. Cheap tables tend to have flimsy rods which bend or break easily, be satisfied that the rods are strong enough to stand up to use - and abuse. It is enough to see if they enjoy the game and if so, consider buying an better table by the time they are 8 or so. Full-sized tables may be unsuitable, particularly if junior's eyes are at or below rod-height (about 4ft tall), although one 7 year old competitor at the world championships last year had a box to stand on. Avoid the temptation to get a table endorsed by Junior's favourite footballer, as the quality is usually non-existent, as are most tables sold by supermarkets or sporting goods stores. If Dad (or mum, or elder siblings) want to play as well, pay more to get a decent quality homeplay table (e.g. Garlando G500) to avoid tears when the christmas present falls apart.
(b) Older children (9-16 years) - most of the top players started playing competitively in this age range. If you buy a cheap table, chances are your money will be thrown away as either the rods will bend, or the table offers no opportunity to develop skills (e.g. slippery surfaces or badly-designed player-figures). Many of the recognised manufacturers produce decent-quality home-play tables (e.g. Garlando G100/G200/G500/G5000, Tornado Whirlwind, Storm, Cyclone, Jupiter Homesoccer).
(c) Schools, colleges and workplaces - these tables can take quite a battering so stick to reputable brands. Most coin-op tables can be set to a range of prices to suit local pockets, or to freeplay as required.
(d) Pubs

REDFROGRACING -RIP OFF- SPORTSWEAR -

This ebayer has over 70 negatives for taking peoples money and not sending their items to them.
When you try to contct them they ignore you. The only contact I had back was that i had to go to the time and effort or ringing customer services (a joke!). I did, i rang 3 times each time i was told that they would call me back. They never did.
They do not reply to emails and do not refund dispite requests.

Fake Shirt Guide

It has come to my attention that sellers on eBay have actually started listing their fake football shirts on eBay as 'authentic' or 'official'!!! When the sellers blindly lie to our faces like this, it makes it very hard to get a real shirt off ebay at a bargain price.

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE FOOTBALL JERSEY

There are hundreds of football/soccer jerseys/shirts on the market and it makes harder for the fan to tell the difference. As a collector and seller of jerseys over the years i have been able to spot out the differences. Lets begin with the Adidas jerseys,
1) Most dealers/wholesalers selling authentic adidas jerseys will have them presented in their official adidas bag.
2) The jersey if brand new will always have the sticker/barcode which states the size of the jersey, the team,if its away or home jersey.
3) All authentic adidas jerseys will have an inner tag on the jersey which states the date of manufacture on the first line, on the second line will be a 6 digit code, as seen in the 2nd photo

English Football Records



In first class football, the fastest ever goal was scored by Jim Fryatt of Bradford Park Avenue on 25th April 1964. Just four seconds after the kick-off, Tranmere Rovers found themselves a goal down.
Excluding substitutes, the fastest sending off in British football is held by Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Kevin Pressman. The red card was shown to Pressman after just 13 seconds for handling a shot from Wolves' Temuri Ketsbaia outside the area, during the opening weekend of the 2001/2002 season.

The Burning Properties of Wood as Fuel for Stoves

Below is a list of the most common woods for burning. It is worth remembering that all wood burns better if split.
There is an old saying "Before starting a fire, collect the right wood". It is worth learning which wood is best for your fires as it will make life a lot easier. A natural result of tree recognition is to learn the burning properties of their woods.
Never burn wood that has not been properly seasoned and dried. Doing this - especially with pine - can tar up your chimeny and damage your stove !
ALDER : Poor in heat and does not last.
APPLE : Splendid. Burns slow and steadily, with little flame but good heat. The scent is pleasing.
ASH : best burning wood. Has both heat and flame. Will burn when green - though naturally not as good as when seasoned.
BEECH : a rival to ash - though not a close one, and only fair when green. Not as good as ash when dry. If it has a fault, it is likely to shoot embers a long way.
BIRCH : the heat is good, but it burns quickly. Pleasant smell.
CEDAR : Good when dry. Really sparks and crackles. Gives little flame but lots of heat and smells superb.

Buying A Fishing Reel Fixed Spool Coarse

what to look for in a fishing reelHi you can never have too much information when buying a reel, so I always look for reels that are well described and am always ready to ask questions if the information is missing, it is always important that the bail arm spring is not worn so when the handle of the reel is turned the bail arm clicks over nicely instead of limply sitting half way over the spool requiring you to push it the rest of the way (one of my early mistakes) and will add to the cost of replacing the spring so if this is not mentioned its always good to ask if the bail arm clicks over positively, you also want to know if the ratchet is working perfectly as well as the anti-reverse wind switch or lever and if it has a quick release spool does it release easily and is it tight when clicked in place also on the older reels which I do collect a few myself its always worth asking how much play or wear is in the reel as this can reduce the value of what the reel is worth and never assume that because the reel comes with line on it that the line is in good condition (unless stated in the auction) as I learnt when I saw my favourite float disapearing into the distance as the line was that old it just parted company with the reel spool on my first cast (never did get it back) its always nice as well for people selling if they have the facility to put picture in picture if they can show the inside of the reel with the spool off as below as this shows you how clean it is which means its proberly been looked after and reguarly maintai (or not been usedIt is also handy to know if the reel has an interchangable handle that way it can be used by right or left handed people as I remember one of the 1st reels I brought (second hand) I did not check this and spent 3 weeks striking with my right hand then swopping the rod to my left hand to reel the fish in thats when I lost my first big one (yeah right) so that ended up in the bin, but now I would have saved it as fishing reels are renewed every year as in new models and its suprising just how quick some reels become collectable, I hope this may be of help to someone who is new to listing a reel or to someone who wants to buy a reel, have to go now got a fish to catch
