Thanks. It's nice to be reminded occasionally. When do you want me to next come around your house for breakfast? I can do next Tuesday, Wednesday, possibly Sunday. Text me!
Apparently the release of this game was delayed for 2 years as a team of Harvard graduates skilled in AI coding were brought in to make this game the most advanced footballing game on any system ever. Unfortunately the Harvard graduates lost all interest in the project after day 1 when they learnt it was 'soccer' and not 'football' and they got a monkey in to program the game instead. And what a game it is!
Crash Magazine: "Twenty Two deformed hunchbacks hobble a green expanse of play area with no apparent reason" llloolll 42%
Your Sinclair - "you notice is the players. Twiglets. They look like they've just recovered from a six-month hunger strike. And they run like it too, poor lads" llloolll "the ball is a lot more intelligent than the computer players" 46% ahaha
And yet they still reward the game a score above 40%. It wasn't really until the Spectrum market had almost virtually gone and Stu Campbell and Jonathon Nash got control of YS, did they give really crushing reviews of games - even old mega-games.
I love how it looks like Kenny's punching the other bloke in the face on the title screen.

Kenny Dalglish's Soccer MANAGER was quality on the Speccy

There are exactly 2 3/4 games worth playing on the Spectrum and this might be one of them.

Presumably when the goalie scored the computer was waiting for the goal kick and so they held their position for that?

The programmer should learn physics before developing a football game.
