Few doubted that Steve Jobs had really nailed it this time...

Hey remember this feature? Yeah, we nearly forgot about it too...

After minute's silences, keeper shorts and half time craic we can now add these things we miss from fitbae matches...

 

78. Transistor radios
It's the final game of the season, your team is drawing with five minutes to go and your relegation rivals are losing elsewhere, thus ensuring your survival. Back in the day, nobody would be watching the game they were at. Why? Because you wouldn't be able to see an inch of the pitch past the myriad of transistor radios being used by the blokes infront. The giant black boxes might have looked so daft even Dom Joly would be embarrassed to be seen with one, but the gents were the first to be hugged when breaking the brilliant news upon the final whistle. And they still looked a lot cooler than the bounty of twats these days using iPhones like they're in Minority Report. You heard it here - bring back the transistor...

 

77. Female streakers
These days, the only streakers seen on a football pitch are clowns trying to make a political point about something, or unsightly goons making a quick buck by sponsoring their arse crack. Sod that, we hark back to the days when you'd get totally off-the-cuff, slightly inebriated, full on jangly knockers and 70s bush-and-all streakers that would put a smile on the faces of footballers and crowd alike. Particularly when said streaker would expertly avoid the diving attempts of the lumbering bobbies. It's not a pervy thing, it just used to make us laugh. Honest...

 

76. Black football boots
If only the phrase "once you go black, you never go back" was the case in the world of football footwear. Sadly, it seems we're destined to endure the puke-inducing micro-fibre slip-on luminous guff that the majority of players adorn their feet with nowadays. It's one thing having an egotistical Premier League "star" walking round like he's nicked Dorothy's favourite clogs, but when Conference players are doing it you just know they need a slap. And as for those wankers you play against on a Sunday with bespoke initialed boots, they've only got one thing coming. And rightly so.

 

Only 75 to go then. Fancy helping us out? Get in touch with us here toepoke.net@gmail.com if there's something you desperately miss from the game we call Association Football...
