Do you have any funny story you encountered in the subbuteo world?
One funny story I remember is whilst playing a friendly against a friend of mine. I had a shot on goal which my friend saved. With the save the ball was moving to the other side of the pitch, however, my player kept on moving and hit the ball and scored the goal. My friend and I couldn't believe what had happened, it was funny because it was as if the player was alive and followed the ball and made a diving header to score the goal.
Is there anything you would change in subbuteo?
Not in the game as such but I would like to change the mentality of some subbuteo players who arrive at the premises at the time when their match is supposed to start or even a bit later, instead of arriving earlier to prepare the team and be ready to start the match at the flick off time.
