Kick Off
========

LOADING
Type LOAD"" (ENTER).
You have control of the player in possession of the ball or that player who is
best placed to tackle or intercept the ball. This player is indicated
on-screen by his socks turning the colour of the rest of his strip.

SKILLS & TACTICS
================
1.  DRIBBLING-Whilst your playeris in possession of the ball, dribbling is
    automatic.
2.  PASSING-To pass the ball, use the kick control key (or the FIRE button if
    you are using a joystick). The ball will go in the direction you are
    facing.
3.  RECEIVING-To successfully gain possession of the ball you must judge its
    path and time your interception so that the ball arrives at your feet.
4.  GOALKEEPER-You will automatically gain control over your goalkeeper at the
    appropriate time - this is indicated by him crouching. You then have the
    option of making a diving save to the left or right by using the
    appropriate direction control with 'kick/fire'.
5.  SET PIECES-These include corner kicks, centres and goal kicks.
To vary the strength of kick from soft to hard the general rule is; 
Press keys/joystick to move your player forwards - gives a hard kick/long
throw etc.
Press keys/joystick to move your player backwards - gives a soft kick/short
throw etc.
The direction of the kick/throw/header can be changed by using the controls
that would normally move the player in that direction as you press the
kick/FIRE button.

THROW-IN
========
When the ball leaves the field and crosses either touch line, a member of the
appropriate team automatically crosses over to take the throw. You now control
this player who will take the throw when you press the kick (or fire) button.

CONTROLS
========
To control your team player you can use any key on the keyboard or any
joystick.
There are five 'player controls: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and KICK (also used to
make goalkeepers DIVE and take THROW-INS).
There are also to PAUSE GAME keys.
Pressing both PAUSE GAME keys together during the match produces the following
on-screen message:-
CS to Abort Match Day
Any other key to continue game.

NOTE:
You must choose separate keys for 'PAUSE'. To change a particular control, use
SPACE to highlight the appropriate symbol and press ENTER. If you are
redefining a key you will be presented with the ZX Spectrum key layout. Use
SYMBOL SHIFT and SPACE to change the flashing key to the one you want and
finish with ENTER. If you are selecting a joystick use space to highlight your
choice and finish with ENTER. Notice that the controls as currently selected
are printed out in the two bottom 'STATUS' lines.
When you have defined the controls to your satisfaction press CS to return to
the match.
Notice that the 'STATUS' line is reproduced at the bottom of the screen.
The last option of the 'Start of Game' menu allows you to simply swap the
controls for each player. This is particularly useful in two player games if
you only have one joystick.
As stated this menu will be presented atthe end of each period of the game.
For now, with the 'Kick-Off' option highlighted, press ENT to start the game.
