Few finer sights on a football pitch... 10:27 - Jan 29 with 2484 viewsSharkey

than a panenka where the goalkeeper doesn't move at all and simply catches the ball in his midriff. Nice one in the Dundee - Queen's Park game yesterday, made better by the fact that the goalkeeper doesn't even celebrate, even though it's 0-0 at the time.

I really don't get that. Or staggered run ups etc. Just pick a spot, run up normally and hit it as well as you can. If you then miss, fine, but if you miss doing something stupid you just look like such an idiot.

There are not many things I dislike more in modern football that stupid exaggerated stutter run ups for penalties.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Talking of penalties. Didn't Morecombes keeper save another one yesterday?..Think that's 5 saves from 6 faced, this season. That's some going....Shades of Cooper...
Personally, prefer to see a player just put their laces through it .

Must be difficult to motivate players when crowds are so sparse.

It's not long ago players had to play with no crowd at all, so it must feel good to have any fans at all. I thought the crowd sounded very enthusiastic, and it wasn't really a bad gate. Problem at a lot of clubs is that they put the camera in the main stand, and that's where half the crowd is sitting.

Off at a tangent, but I agree with Kompany's remark about Portman Road being much more impressive 'in the flesh' than on tv, and wondering if it's something to do with the camera angles.

In a similar vein, every so often the TWTD Board Tories like to suggest that public sector workers are lazy and inefficient. If the private sector was any better Phil and Gav would have had to get proper jobs years ago.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if quite a lot of professional footballers actually liked playing during lockdown when there were no crowds.

Not even an attempt at one is it?

Just a very poor penalty.

The keeper fell asleep before it was taken!

Are there any rules about the run up? There should be a maximum number of steps that can be taken.
