Talk:Rush goalie

There are some crazy names for this game! Cls14 (talk) 13:13, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What has been described in this article was called "spot goalie" where I live (and also with people from other parts of the UK who I've spoken to about this). "Rush goalie" is when one player was nominated as the goalie but he could also play outfield... which, yes, is just like a goalie in normal football, but in playground football matches goalkeepers were usually always "stick"... i.e. they couldn't play outfield (unless there was a nominated rush goalkpeer, or it was "spot").

I agree with above. When I was a kid, a player would be nominated (or nominate himself) as "rush-goalie" which meant he would play outfield as well. I have never heard of this version where the nearest player stops the goal. SkinheadEscapes (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:03, 11 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

This is not rush goalie, rush goalie is when the goalie can come out of the area (as opposed to stick goalie when he can't). I would have called this "scramble goalie" but in any case, this is a rule variant not a game in its own right (as this article suggests). Who would have said "Let's play rush / scramble / spot goalie"? It was always let's play footy.GordyB (talk) 22:20, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of names

That list of names is getting ridiculously long, and is turning into something of a neologism-farm. I've cut them all out here - feel free to re-add individual names ot the article if you can find a reliable source. Interplanet Janet, Esquire IANAL 10:23, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
