Earlier today while passing by some laddies kicking a scuffed football around I was reminded of the word "philly" meaning real leather football as opposed to a plastic replica. If you had a philly yer baw was always in demand!

It didnt hurt as much as the Mitre Mould Master

What was that other "baw" ? Not the orange Striker ! It was white hard plastic , maybe captains ball ?

In contrast if your ball was a plastic one it would be a 'flyaway'

Aye, I'm sure that's what it was for us as well - don't know why I'm doubting myself!!! I remember the wee "ballet steps" tactic you mention as well - that must have a term as well, no??

There was a defensive move if you knew you were going to be beaten, cant properly remember but you could move your foot 90 degrees

Also used at Parsons Green 1990s.

Not played with a 'flyaway' ball in a while.

Never heard that one. Me and my pals use the phrase 'pinged her'

Been years since I said 'Mum, i'm away out. Gonnae tape that programme for me?!'

Can you even buy video recorders anymore?

YES!!! This is brilliant nostalgia.

Having to shin over the back fence at Primary school became a near full time profession.

What about the vocab that went the Panini sticker albums??

"Doublers" and "Shinys" etc

NEED!

Always loved how there must have been 400 stickers in the album yet you automatically knew what you had and what you needed!

Come the end of the season you had about 600 'doubles'

Terry Fenwick was an easy one to get.

I remember one year I bought my first packet of the season and the first stickers on show was the Hibs badge and Jim Leighton. I was uncontrollable for the rest of the day.

Happy times.

Thats right

Reminded as I was of my own tragic angst-ridden teenage escapades wi lassies by the phrase to 'bag-off', the word 'nash' came to mind meaning to snog (usually the aim of a bag-off) but also it means to run fast as in 'we better nash, thats the polis coming'

As an aside, another hapless laddie in my class was offered a 'bag-off' wi a big huge fat lassie in Holyrood Park.
His perplexed reply (and this is true): "a bag of what?"

What about doing Endoes on your bike ?

Pulling the front brake hard and keeping the back wheel up for a few seconds.
Cool folk could do front hops

Maybe not a phrase but what about the jubilee carton stuck in you bike wheel for the motorbike effect ?

More of a phase but did anyone own a Trick Stick , Batty Bouncer or Yo Ball ?

Yo Balls were sound

Mines was yellow

Nash is another one I've not heard in ages .

For some reason, the word "nixy" was en vogue amongst the cool kids at school - we're talking S2/S3 age - to mean "no/no chance".

I.e. "I got a ****load of homework for tomorrow. Nixy will that be getting done"

Or even funnier, after a dressing down in front of the class, the "victim" (if a cool kid) would walk back to their seat, audibly muttering (preferably in a rising pitch of voice) "Niiiixxxyyyyy" - what a struggle it was to keep a straight face
