Television has made us see if a shot is on target or not? Doesn’t seem a hugely terrible thing.

When you are at a football match watching your team every attempt at goal that doesn't go over the bar or wide of the post feels like an attempt on target wether it hits the woodwork direct or is deflected, it is only in the stats after the game does someone put it down as a shot on or off target

Portugal just hit the inside of the post and the ball bounced out and not in during the penalty shootout

The thing about televised games is that million of plastic fans watch them without ever going to a football match of the team they "support" and think they are experts because every thing is now over analysed by pundits

Edit

France did go through without scoring a goal in open play

Reading this shot on target discussion has genuinely shortened my life a bit I reckon.

It's ridiculous as well. A shot bouncing off the post is clearly off target by definition.

I’ve absolutely no idea what you’re rambling on about but having seen thousands of awful shots go wide or over the bar live they didn’t “feel” on target. Even if they did they weren’t.

It’s the Fosse-Diego-Duggie triumvirate of doom. A rare but terrifying combination of alcohol, stupidity and early stage dementia.

But today is a new day and Garuff will be sending those Toblerone-shaggers back to their homes made of emmenthal and clocks crying. Bellingham to score the winner in off the post for a shot which people will debate being on or off target for the rest of time.
