Football is rubbish.
I have only done it where the top has been unstable and bowed enough to make it hard to fit together - but its better to avoid wood like that than attempt to join on the body
clamps can be a bit much on thinner tops, you need a plate joining jig of some kind

I put some barbell weights on top of it to exert some downward force.
I do this with acoustic guitar tops and backs as well.
I'll see if I can dig out a photo.

You can scrape the newspaper off easily with a Stanley blade.

Another plate-joining 'jig' is to use a series of panel pins alongside the outer long edges of the plate to be joined. You hammer in the pins whilst the plates are held together on a baseboard with a removable support (say 7-10mm high and 20mm wide running the length of the glue line) underneath the glue line. When the support is removed and the plates weighted down, the wedge action provides plenty of clamping force for the join. Much harder to describe than show, adaptable to any shape of plate that would otherwise be difficult to accurately clamp, cheap and low tech. I may have a photo somewhere i can post up.

P.s. if you are near Stirling at all, i would be happy to show you.
