It Was This or Football was the intended debut album by 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[1] - and the first half was released as an EP on 20 July 2009.

However the second half of the album has since been cancelled. The band confirmed on their Facebook page that they have been recording new tracks for the album and a new full version of It Was This Or Football would be released in Summer 2010.[2] It has since been announced that the band's next album will instead be called To Get Nowhere, Follow the Crowd, and is due for release in October 2010.[3]

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.
