Daft questions (football edition)


Recommended Posts

Fitz Hall is the best for sure. I often find other sports have better ones than football:

 

Billy Twelvetrees- 36 (twelve 3s)

Steve Waugh - Tugga (Tug of War)

Martin Offiah - Chariots

I've got a question and maybe someone with better football knowledge than me can answer this:

 

What is Kai Havertz good at? Other than being a cunt.

He's really good at manufacturing moves that will make him and his agent bank whilst being a dogshit striker.

I don’t think Havertz is bad but I was mystified that Arsenal wanted him for so much money. Almost seemed like collusion to bail Chelsea out of their financial hole. 

 

He did a good job at end of last season, but the price was ridiculous.

Was 100% an Arteta-led vanity signing because the Lego One was convinced Rice-Odegaard-Havertz would be the new Rodri-De Bruyne-David Silva.

Havertz is clearly a good footballer but sort of fits into that category of languid creative player who is neither here nor there position wise, so doesnt really fit into a system. Someone described him as a nine and a half, which isnt really any good.

It's pretty obvious that, for example, a keeper dives to the left and tips a shot around the post then the corner is taken from that side. But if it's fairly central and he tips it over the bar then how is it decided which side do the attacking side take the corner from? Can they just pick which side themselves?

The ref always points to which corner flag to take it from.

Aye I've never noticed it or even thought about it before, so thank you. I was just sat here and the thought crossed my mind so cheers for clearing that up, but has it ever been contested? I can just imagine some whinger like arteta arguing that they lost as they werent allowed to let their best corner taker take it from their preferred side.

He’s not even particularly creative. 
 

He links up well but not a creative force imo. He’s has got ability but doesn’t deliver consistently.  He’s a supporting striker.  A poor man’s Eidur Gudjonson or a skinny Olivier Giroud. 
 

He’ll score some class goals.  Think he scored a banger against England. Excellent first touch and finish in Howe’s first season up against Burn.  
 

This season people have definitely given up on him. I thought he could be good for 15 PL goals but he won’t get that now.  Earning more than Saka is criminal.

Nothing more than that, I only heard it when driving across Donegal, two guys on a radio station discussing english football suggested there was no injury and he wouldnt play this season for other reasons. Probably a load of nonsense seeing as no one else is mentioning it.

I could look this up but I’m sure someone knows the actual rules. Can you score directly from a throw in as the attacking side or does it need to take a touch beforehand?

It has to take a touch beforehand, earlier on in the year Tom Tonks "Scored" from a throw-in in the FA Cup for Tamworth, but only because the keeper flapped at the ball, and it hit him on the way in, if he'd just left it, it would have been a goal kick. I think it went down as an own goal as well.

It would have to go down as an own goal as without the touch it wouldn’t be on target and it would just be a goal kick to the defending team.

An Arsenal player up to no good off the pitch? Say it ain’t so.
