Guest schmuck Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Even after years of watching football my natural reaction to the ball hitting the post and going out is still 'corner'. Not that I necessarily think it should be, but the instinctive part of my brain just won't learn the rules Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 5 shots, 4 goals conceded. Makes me wonder in which game Harper has made a save? Or does this header against Wolves that went of the post count? Hitting the post or bar counts as off-target. Can anyone remember the mass argument on GSS about this? Got really heated, the initial argument lasted about 10mins with Stelling trying to move it on but couldn't, then it was mentioned for about 6 months after. Was a totally different panel, when they used to chop and change all the time. Can't believe there's ever even a debate. The idea of an on-target shot is that it was going in before it was intercepted by a defender or the goalkeeper. Just because hitting the woodwork seems like a big chance or whatever doesn't mean that it's on-target. Has anyone ever thought that if it hits the post and goes out it should be a corner? I have, it seems fair. Thats a bit silly. Whats your thinking behind it out of interest, is the post part of the opposition? I just think because it's the frame of the goal it feels like there should be some kind of reward. When one of our players hits the bar and it goes out it's only a goal kick, but someone 30 yards away can kick it out and it's a corner. Obvious, of course. I'm not saying it should change, just that it seems fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Ok you get a quarter of a goal every time you hit the bar but it's only counted once you have hit it 4 times. How good would that be? Plenty of shots being taken from all over the place. Ok it would be shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The authorities should check if any of the Pakistani cricketers confiscated telephones have had calls from numbers that also have contacted Tevez last week also. How else can you explain that miss and Sunderlands win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Craig Levein, discussing why Arteta can't play for England, on attempting to get Shola to play for Scotland: "The way I understand it, the home associations have an agreement," said Levein. "I'll tell you how I know. I tried to get Shola Ameobi at Newcastle a while back [to play for Scotland], because he has not played for England but has lived in the UK and has a British passport, so I thought he might be able to play for Scotland. But we had changed the rules." Levein described the rule as "more than a gentlemen's agreement", adding: "Maybe England are thinking of challenging it but it only came in a year ago. "I just used Ameobi as an example because he was somebody who had a British passport but it fell down because he didn't have the educational qualification. I understand that it's a newsworthy story but I don't want to go into enormous detail about Arteta. All I'm saying to you is, the way I understand it, they can't cap him." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/aug/30/scotlandfootballteam-craig-levein Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 There is really only a small group of English footballers that I truly like and admire. Owen Hargreaves and Dean Ashton were two of these players. It is an absolute shame what has happened to their careers. Reminds of one of my favourite recent Nigerian players, Christoan Obodo. He's finally made his comeback (though it is in Serie B, and he'll likely never reach his old levels), but it seems there will be no such luck for these two. May they be successful in their future endeavours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
