There are a few Fireballs on Bristol Road in Selly Oak, specifically in The Soak and The Bristol Pear. Or there was when I was last there 2 years ago...

Bobby, I know this is a personal question and something that should be saved for later in our relationship, but can I see your algorithm? :oops: What language is it written in? Also, I don't know much about Elo but I know that its goal is to predict the result of a match between two players using th...

The new theme feels very... how can I put it?... Microsoft-y?

I like it.

I ordered the set of 3 from Lifestyle Leisure yesterday after getting clarification from Alex and they arrived this morning!

Even though on the website they say they come loose, mine came in an official Garlando/ITSF blister pack.

Very impressed.

Cheers Alex.

Hey Bushy, I asked Boris about this a week or so ago, and I think these are the balls that were used... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GARLANDO-Foosball-Table-Football-ITSF-Pro-Play-Competition-Balls-Pack-of-3-/220966228627?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Games_Tables_LE&hash=item33729d1293 I've had a quick look ro...

The good news is I've just acquired a Garlando Pro Champion (through rods) so the bad news is you might see me at a tournament some time soon. The table has the black plastic handles (same shape/size as the more conventional Wood/Plastic Garlando handles as per the Master Chamption), so my first que...

The following is just from my limited UK foos experience so rather than putting players in order, I will put in some notables for each area previously mentioned... 5-bar passing Rob Atha Chris Lyall Steve Lyall Louis Tan Tom Burdett 3-bar shooting Rob Atha Rich Marsh Joe Hamilton Alex Shovelton Rich...

I hope you all have an incredible time at a tournament that looks like the most exciting since I got involved in the UK scene.

I'll be thinking of you as I sun myself on a Dominican Republic beach

Very much hoping to be at the second event of the year.

Good luck all!

This link doesn't seem to be working, has it been taken down?

I forgot to say, I was in the Soak on Bristol Road a couple of weeks ago and the far bumper of the goalie rod had come off meaning the rod kept coming out of the hole. The rods were generally pretty stiff and the playing surface sticky.

Lol at the unintentional double entendres.

Cheers guys.

Congrats on some impressive results

(commiserations if it wasn't what you wanted/expected)

Patiently waiting...

Results anyone?

If anyone in (or around) the Midlands is thinking of selling their Pro/World Champion table, please PM me.

Cheers.

Which they now have done

Means they finish second in their group behind Austria.

Cheers for the update, Dan.

Seems like the guys lost out to Germany this morning - not sure of the score though.

The girls are currently in a must win match against the Italians.

The girls are on fire!

Mayya and Jody just came through a marathon match 4/5 - 5/4 - 4/5 - 5/3 - 5/3!

Sarah and Ola just beat a Bulgarian team with ease in their first knockout round 5/2, 5/3, 5/3. Sounds simple. Probably wasn't considering their opponents contained the Women's Singles CHAMPION. Go on girls! Rob and Eddie through to their second round where they face an easy encounter against Ryan a...

The men comfortably win their second match, beating Poland 8-2 meaning they're guaranteed to go through the group.

Looks like the battle against Germany tomorrow morning will decide who tops the group.

Come on guys! Keep it up
