When defending a corner, the corner is taken and the keeper shouts 'AWAY'. What does he think his team mates are going to do ?
It does serve a purpose. A defender wants to know as soon as possible if the ‘keeper is coming for the ball and switch to ‘blocking his man’ mode rather than preparing to attack the ball. An early shout of ‘away’ let’s him know he’s not coming for it.
