 THEY THINK IT'S ALL OVER FOR SUBBUTEO  
 The traditional football game Subbuteo 
 has been shown the red card by its     
 makers, it has been reported.          
                                        
 The world-famous game has been axed by 
 its makers Hasbro because it is losing 
 the fight against computer games.      
                                        
 A Hasbro spokesman told The Sun        
 newspaper: "Production of Subbuteo will
 cease in January 2000.                 
                                        
 "The decision has been made as a result
 of the huge number of football-related 
 products which have flooded the market 
 in recent years."
