Penalties work well, because they are still football, but with all the bullshit taken out. The question: can you kick the ball into the goal?

People don't like them because they erroneously think all the bullshit is football as much as that is.

The only thing I might change is to score them out of 11 rather than five (including rewarding teams who haven't had a man sent off by giving them the extra kick).

Yevrah

Isn't "but look at how many times we've hit the crossbar" just how RAWK cranks used to claim middling Liverpool teams were actually, if you look at the stats very selectively and turn off certain parts of your brain, actually the best team in the league?

The keeper was just allowed to charge out and use their hands wherever?

I think there was a pretty low time limit to get the ball over the line. Could be why they’re complaining.

Danny
19-05-2022, 02:25 PM
I think they are still just about in the box. All those other lines are do fuck with the perspective.

From google "Instead of the traditional penalty kick shootout where players take shots from 12 yards out, MLS opted for a true shootout. Players started 35 yards from goal and had five seconds to take a shot against a goalkeeper who was free to move up off his line. "

Guess they are appealing for the time and just hoping? Same way keepers today just throw a hand up for anything.

He’s back in training so should be fresh for the new season. I can see Werner, Ziyech and Lukaku or Pulisic all leaving never mind half the defence.

This shit with excusing the pitch invasions as exuberance and it's just a bad few who are ruining it for everyone needs to stop as well before it gets out of hand. There's been what 3 or 4 issues this week alone? If Frankfurt fans can manage not to invade the pitch after winning their biggest trophy in the last 40 years I'm sure Pisspot FC fans can manage it after they have managed to win the second leg of a playoff semi-final in League 2.

Much of the credit around Everton's survival has gone to Frank Lampard - after all, he kept them up right? Well, the former Chelsea star actually only took the Toffees from 16th to 16th, but I guess that'll do.

On top of that, Lampard took Derby County from sixth to sixth in his first managerial stint, and then took Chelsea from fourth to fourth during his time at Stamford Bridge...

It’s the other way about if anything

I thought this at first too.

On Lampard I agree he did a decent job at Chelsea, but, at the same time, there is a limit to how badly one can fail at clubs with such resources. I mean, look how bad United have been this season, they're still coming 6th.

Mourinho won the league and then had Chelsea finishing 10th. With a much better team. So it was definitely possible things could have gone ridiculously badly.

He’s fun if nothing else. Can always guarantee you goals at each end

Everton need to play behind closed doors for a bit. The Liverpudlians don't appear capable of controlling their emotions.

Rather off topic, but Dorking Wanderers got promoted into the National League yesterday. I went to their ground about ten years ago for unrelated reasons and it was basically just a field. As recently as 2014-15 they were in the Sussex County League. The money man behind it is chairman and also manager. They must be the smallest club ever to make it to that level.

I think that it's even got this close just highlights what we all know (including his staunch advocates), which is that, while he's clearly a brilliant manager, there's something slightly dodgy about Guardiola.
