the comedy Own Goal

[turienzo's lovechild]

Keeper was at fault for both really, badly positioned for the first, .

no

for a back pass the keeper is supposed to be either side of the goal, it's one of the FIRST things you learn

another thing you learn VERY early is that you never, EVER pass back to your goal, ALWAYS to the side

it's to avoid things like own goals and that

Keeper was at fault for both really, badly positioned for the first, and he went down too early for the second.

Rubbish. He was correctly positioned for the first. A defender should send a back pass like that to wide of the goal, which was where Sullivan had positioned himself.

 

[Ian Bairds Fist]

Like how Hammond celebrated their second. C*nt.

Surely the first thing you learn when "learning" backpasses at backpass school, is not to smash it at your own goal when your keeper has moved to the right of it so he could get it on his right foot..

that's what I learned on my first day at backpass high school anyway..

Is that before or after learning left from right ?


Edit: Actually I'll take that back, I suppose it's the right of the goal as you are looking at it.

I still cant see it, Maybe its because I am overseas, but I have tried using the same proxy as I use to watch BBC and it still says no content,,,,

please someone you tube it....

I played in goal for years, and they always teach you to move to the side of the goal when you're asking for a backpass, so if you cock it up or it hits a divot or whatever it's not likely to roll straight into the net.

What you can't legislate for is some lumbering defender twatting it miles past you because he hasn't bothered to look up and see where you are. You wouldn't blame a midfielder for giving the ball away if Hinshelwood smacked it ten yards wide of them, therefore you can't possibly attach blame to Sullivan for that one.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

What a load of rubbish. He had opened up his angle to Hinsh could pass the ball to Sullivan's stronger right foot for the first goal. It wasn't Sullivan's fault Hinsh decided to bang it into the net.

If anything, Hinsh was at fault for both. Terrible own goal and awful clearance for the second.

Agree - Hinsh looked up to see where Sully was - most Keepers move to make the pass back easier.

I think I've heard it all now - someone trying to blame SULLIVAN for the own goal?

Who did? All I said was he was at fault, if you look where he started from he was out of position. Of course most of the blame lay with Hinshlewood.

By most you mean all right?

As someone else said Keepers are told to move out of the goal, why do most do it?

 

[dougdeep]

I don't deny that I'd rather see Michel back, it's taken Sullivan a good few games to get a clean sheet.

You cannot possibly blame Sullivan for the own goal! As a goalkeep he expects the ball played back to his feet. If Hinshelwood passes it a metre or two either side of him, what the hell is he supposed to do?

Hinshelwood was completely at fault for the goal. It really isn't that hard to pass a football to someones feet. It was a howler!

 

[dougdeep]

We've just done this bit, I didn't say he was to blame.

 

[bright1064]

Fault and blame are not so very different really?!

 

[dougdeep]

Think of it as a road accident. Percentage blame, nobody is completely free of it in a situation.

 

[bright1064]

Yes it was a bit of a car crash scenario, when you come to think of it!

Ah shitsticks...
