RickMcD Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Crab football was played with hands and feet on the deck at the same time and with yir bum towards the deck also. You kicked the ball with your feet as normal It was bloody knackering playing crab football. I reckon twenty minutes of that was more tiring than ninety minutes of stauny up running aboot fitba.

faraway saint Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Sometimes when we played "kick the can" we'd fill the can with, erm, liquid and the poor unsuspecting kicker got a nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's no sexual connotation? possibly just my group of friends, one guy had to run off and hide in the woods (opposite the tenements on glenburn road) everyone else would then hunt for him and if caught you get a good kicking from everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood buddie Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 manhunt - might just have been a glenburn game though I think they played this in the Southern States of America , people would dress up in white cloaks and big hoods and run about with burning crosses .

We did play that game but if there was somebody playing we didn't like too much, we'd tell him to hide then bugger off up the Braes and leave him. Kids can be so cruel. Are you old enough to remember the trains going along the railway line? The station was a private house in the 50's and into the 60's and the train used to stop at the station for a break. The sons of the folk who lived there had motor bikes and they used to hare along the platform and even through the woods. I'm talking about big road bikes, not wee putt-putt machines.

I'm talking about big road bikes, not wee putt-putt machines. remember the trains going along and we used to put broken glass on the rails which was turned into powder when the train ran over it, also remember when the line was ripped up and all the wooden blocks that were used as packers for the sleepers were just thrown to the side, quickly collected by all and sundry for use as a substitute for coal, dont think canavan the coalman was too happy at that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Dickson Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) possibly just my group of friends, one guy had to run off and hide in the woods (opposite the tenements on glenburn road) everyone else would then hunt for him and if caught you get a good kicking from everyone else We called that Bookie but it was more a two team game. One team would run and the others would come after them. The runners had to give one of their people a bit of folded up paper and the chasers job was to find out who had it and get the bit of paper off them. It usually involved beating someone up, or torturing a few people in the process. Edited May 25, 2014 by Stuart Dickson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jake Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I remember one man hunt. What about crosses? There was a goalkeeper and one player would cross the ball in to the striker who had to volley the ball in or head it in without the ball hitting the ground first to score. If your shot went wide or the keeper caught it, it was a goal for the keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
