    I agree. I saw Smug posting about it a few weeks ago and 99 times out of a 100 a player will try it and it will go wide over the top etc.. will be very rare it actually beats the keeper and stays on target. I was definitely more of the persuasion that Roefs wouldn't concede one because opposing players would miss. Glad i didn’t bet the house on it <laugh>

    It worries me but obviously the modern goalkeeper coaching, noticed their keeper was in the same spot in the second half.

    Just has to look at Thomas Franck and how things are turning sour so quickly at Spurs. Grass isn't always greener and all that.

    My main concern is that there’s no pressure on a player who shoots from the halfway line …

    … even if it’s a mile wide the crowd will just cheer like idiots <laugh>
