[Football] New jobs in football matches

[GJN1]

So, a few years back we had someone in the team designated to be the 'draught excluder' to lie down behind the wall at opposition free-kicks but now we seem to have a 'ball protector' whose job it is to retain the ball before a penalty kick before handing it over to the taker.

So what's next?

 

[AnotherArch]

Penalty spot protector.

 

[dazzer6666]

Goalscorer ?

 

[TomandJerry]

Not sure what this equates to exactly

"Nottingham Forest have appointed Mark Clattenburg as a refereeing consultant"

 

[GJN1]

Penalty spot protector.

So once the penalty is awarded, a player lies across the spot, preventing the opposition from scuffing it up?

Love that.

Let's get Igor to do it for us.

We've been doing it ever since De Gea scuffed up the penalty spot before Solly's penalty in the FA Cup semi-final last year.
