It Was This or Football was the intended first album by the British ska and indie band Kid British. The album was originally scheduled to be released via Mercury Records in two halves, like a football match - this idea was inspired by the title of the album - and the first half was released as an EP on 20 July 2009.
However, the second half of the album was cancelled with the band stating on their Facebook page that they had been recording new tracks for the album and that a new full version of It Was This Or Football would be released in summer 2010. It was later announced that the band's next album would instead be called To Get Nowhere, Follow the Crowd, due for release in October 2010.
In building up promotion for the release of the album, the band supported The Enemy and The Specials on UK tours.
The first half of the album reached #67 in the UK Albums Chart.
The original track listing was as follows:
