Football Pools themed games

I hope to be singing Boxing Day too

When we win at home too

Are those childhood memories watching tunnel visioned at the TV late on Sat afternoon as the most boring voice in the known universe read out the pools results, page after boring page of droned results, and then one day it happened... did he really say it? No rewinds in those days... and yet, yes ...he did and he said it without fluffing it, "Forfar 5 Fife 4". It's one of those moments when you always remember where you were when it happened, like the Kennedy assassination or 9/11. Now I can tell my kids "I was there that day".

James Alexander Gordon, now retired. I was surprised to learn that it was Eric Morecambe that actually read that Holy Grail of scoreline.

Cor, 12d and 8d payouts on the Fixed Odds machine seem generous. Are there any other allwins that pay out such King's ransoms with a single play?

Yep, here's a Whales '9 Results' I bought at the Elephant House in March this year. It has 12d, 8d and 4d payouts. Coins are paid out in 4d doses on turns of the handle. Works nicely too (after a bit of TLC).

Nice machine you have there Hiflyer
I like the artwork on all Oliver Whales later machines, The nine results is always thought of as a football themed machine, but it is actualy based on the nine lives of a cat..
Wish it was on slotalot's wall... if you havent already seen them there are more of the same here on my website.. [url]http://www.slotmachines.bravehost.com/page9.html[/url].....Enjoy!!!

[hiflyer]

Well I'll be, slotalot..........That's the same machine on your website, before I did a bit of work on it. Did you take that pic at the March auction?

[slotalot]

Well I'll be as well!! ........... I never noticed that. Not sure where I got the photo from.
I have been collecting them for a few years now, it will have been "harvested" from the internet at some time...

Jingle, make the most of what Santa brings on Xmas Day... as Boxing Day will be a pools panel........home win!

Jingle: Told you to make the most of Xmas Day as Boxing Day may be less enjoyable..... a home win & no need for pools panel. Wonder what Brendan got for Xmas? Let me guess............tiny tears dolly?
If you didnt go, it was a great game with great quality football from both sides too. I am sure you will be in the mix come May.

You got it wrong again aristo
Am a blue nose lad
We only seem to lose against shit
It's always been like that at everton
We can whoop the best but let crap walk all over us

Me liverpool fan
I would rather be blind lad than support the
Norwegian red poo

City will prob win league
By a good few points

But ay la you have had to buy it
Just like chelski did

[aristomatic]

Jingle,
Well at least I was right in telling you to enjoy what Santa brought you Xmas Day... as Boxing Day was never going to be as enjoyable............................................. and at least we gave you an extra present in beating the Norwegian red poo for you!
So who do you prefer Martz or Moyz?

Moyes done ok with
The 35 quid he had

But Martinez as got them playing with more confidence
And playing to win
Instead of defending the goal to much
I like he has us playing along the floor from
The back and not letting the goalie just hoof it up the field

Barkleys the man tho lad
He's the next rooney

Chelsea FC vs Everton Saturday, 22 February.
Chelsea 0, Everton 1.
The match is fixed of course, but that's football for you...

I don't know why the whole thing can't be replaced by machines like the one above and do away with all that running about in the mud. I never could get interested in this form of mass hysteria. Last time I watched a game Sheffield Wednesday played on Shrove Tuesday and lost to the Ragged Arsed Rovers by two sore bottoms to one!

I guess I'll be banned from the forum now I've admitted I don't like football I was a professional American football referee for 12 years and did run Wimbledon Speedway for three years but I guess that doesn't count.
