(Brits? The ghost of my terrorist grandmother stirs)

Ahh - I've played a game that I assume is similar, "indoor soccer". 5 
per side, played on/in an indoor cricket court (the Australian version 
of it anyway). You could kick the ball against the side netting etc 
without a throw in. Good way to triangulate.

That the one? Fun and not too shabby, but still sucky in its own way.
