SiriuslyCold Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 "Shoot, or Shoot Monthly, is a football magazine published in the UK by IPC Media. After nearly 40 years, it will cease publication at the end of June 2008" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_(magazine) Thanks for the memories! First issue: http://shoot-magazines.jalbum.net/ btw, interesting what a unfiltered Google search turns up.. ;D
vieri Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Aiyo!!!! Damn sad!!!! I used to buy SHOOT for my UK football updates when i was a kid, in addition to Roy of The Rovers. RIP SHOOT!
Pingu1624705792 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 ya, me too. Every week I would somehow scrimp together enough money to buy the mag. I would read every single article many times over. This was the time of Kevin Keegan, Charlie George and Sammy Lee. And Trevor Francis was a wee lad at Birmingham. Burnley and QPR were in the top division. And ManU were in the 2nd... Ah, for the good times. May they return soon. :) ;) :)
warmasterhorus11 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 sad its gone now 1 good sports mag w/o bias reports is lost :-\
Mr. Big Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Aiyo!!!! Damn sad!!!! I used to buy SHOOT for my UK football updates when i was a kid, in addition to Roy of The Rovers. RIP SHOOT! Was there another comic character named Billy's Boots as well or was it something else? Victim of the times (plus the Internet). Remember those days when the SHOOT magazine sold at the mama shops were about 2 or 3 months behind.
SiriuslyCold Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 Remember those days when the SHOOT magazine sold at the mama shops were about 2 or 3 months behind. showing your age, there.. *LOL* Roy of the Rovers.. ;D it was MONTHS behind but we grabbed all the news we could get...supporting a club took more faith than any sort of exposure
armoury Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Remember the league ladders they would give out each season? I think I still have mine from the 1988-89 season buried somewhere, showing the final standings for that season... ;D

yellowhandman Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Shoot and Roy Of The Rovers...my football childhood. :'( :'( :'(
armoury Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Shoot and Roy Of The Rovers...my football childhood. Don't forget the Waddingtons "Table Soccer" game. Or did you play Subbuteo?
yellowhandman Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Don't forget the Waddingtons "Table Soccer" game. Or did you play Subbuteo? Table soccer is the one that was basically plastic chips that you flick, right? With the cardboard board with squares. Great stuff. I still have my Subbuteo in a box at home. Waiting for my son to be old enough.
redders Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah, still have subbuteo in my store room:( No place to lay out the gigantic cloth field :(
warmasterhorus11 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Don't forget the Waddingtons "Table Soccer" game. those were the days w/o computer games...mostly tabletop games and board games. Computer was an exotic item for many families.
Mr. Big Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Don't forget the Waddingtons "Table Soccer" game. Or did you play Subbuteo? Yeah. I have to make my own commentary like Brian Moore or John Motson when playing. Kids have it easy nowadays with the PC, PSP, Wii what have you.
yellowhandman Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah. I have to make my own commentary like Brian Moore or John Motson when playing. Kids have it easy nowadays with the PC, PSP, Wii what have you. I think my commentary was always better than what you get from FIFA games on consoles. ;D
redders Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Subutteo advertisement "dream" fixture - England vs Brazil:P
malo81 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I remember when I have to save just to buy the Shoot mag every week. Read every things that is in the mag and cutout my fav Liverpool players and paste them on my room wall...those are the days. And yes..Subbuteo! My fav table soccer game.Used to go to a sport shop around Rangoon Road to buy my Subuteo stuffs like the FA Cup and World Cup..heheheeh.
DizzyD1624705734 Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I have poor man's table soccer. I used cardboard to cut into strips and fold them to depict a player..So you can imagine it will appear like a triangle and to kick the ball (made of paper rolled up) you need to press down on the apex of the triangle player..anyone else done this?
redders Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I remembered when I was a school boy, we used to play "table soccer" using 5 cents coin and two plastic pencil case covers (those with a opening in the centre) ;D. We just used our finger to shoot and see who "scored" the coin into the slot ;D

I do..heheheeh. We had goalpost made of paper too. I remember we usually played the game on the ground with the use of chalk to draw out the pitch parameter. We have the keeper made with bigger size then the players :)
cracker Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Goodbye Shoot....RIP and thanks for the memories !!! what abt its counterpart "Match" ? already dead?
