Its bad manners. 6 hours ago, RamNut said: Its very off putting for the penalty taker. What if the goalkeeper welcomed the player into the box with a cup of tea and apologised in advance for the lengths they were going to have to go to in order to distract them?

Tea is the gentleman's drink - But you are of course right that a range of hot and cold beverages should be provided - Maybe an array of biscuits and a small selection of sandwiches too I mostly drinks coffee - Need the caffeine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I think penalty takers should have to run up backwards then turn around within 1m of the ball. Wouldn't improve the game, but there'd be some amusing mess up videos on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our finishing was that much more clinical...theirs was woeful hence we won 5-0 but they created more than we did. You're in cloud cuckoo land vato cuz anyway you cut it we thrashed the living daylights out of them. They're lucky we didn't score 9 as we missed as many as they did on top of the ones we scored.

Martin's chance was a good shot but comfortably slipped around the post for a corner. 3. Vydra's bicycle wasn't really a chance...and was wide anyway. The other shot was well saved. 4.

Phoenix Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 9 hours ago, SaintRam said: Generally the penalty taker is holding most of the cards, I'm happy for Keeper's to do what they can. I prefer someone doing strange things on the line like Carson has started doing, or Grobbelaar back in the day, rather than Hart's style of getting in their face before the kick and trying to intimidate them, for example. I'm sure that the Germans (who else?) did some research on penalties, and possibly goal-scoring in genaeral, and found that there was less chance of scoring if the Goalie wore red. Seriously.
