Have you ever wondered what would happen (in a penalty situation), if a goal keeper just held his ground, springing up and down on the spot, dead central and didn't dive to either his left or right?

Obviously, the player taking the penalty wouldn't know the keeper wasn't going to dive. A lot of players (allegedly) wait to see which way the keeper is going to dive before they place the ball in the opposite side of the net.

I wonder if a tactic like that would be enough to put the penalty taker off, and cause them to sky it or miss the goal completely?

I certainly think a good number of these mixed in could work well. Especially on the pressure pens when players are often more likely to play it safe and hit it more central.
Move and shape.loke you're going to spring one wayborbthe other, but then stick where you are.

I don't even think that fella is even a football fan. He certainly doesn't know much about the game.

He's simply a savvy fella that fully understands how to monetise YouTube videos to a divvy fanbase by pretending to be one.

Yeah, he's a shouty wanky ****. But he was there early with his faux-partridge style commentary and has picked the ultimate soap opera of a team to support. If united we're any good he'd be nowhere. Anyone who takes him seriously as a football pundit is a fool (which includes himself.)

The thing is, he is no fool. He's picked the perfect club to use for his grift. He's calculated. He may act the fool but I don't think he is.

Did you know he is ex biddle? He was part of the fraud squad. Funny eh? Considering he is posing as a rag to make money. Certainly using things he learned at work.

His real name is Brent Di Cesare. I bet if you met Brent and not "Mark", you would find a smart fella.

Bet he's still a weasel though, he's got that look about him.

He’s such a fool, he’s earned thousands, if not millions, from gullible rags.

He's on his way . United shrill Jamie Jackson doing a grand job here preparing the ground . No doubt briefed by insiders to be on message .

No coming back from that photo on the bench in the rain on a wet Tuesday night at Grimsby . Get rid .

Here we go. Swamp bingo .

Blaming the latest in a long line of managers, even though everyone from the sacked tea lady up said this one needed time and they would need to be patient . He goes in hard citing A Moron's stubborn , dog in a manger blindness , although he has to conceed they all wanted a systems manager this time round.

Blaming the benching of a teenager with some debatable potential for the whole midfield shitshow
( didn't he play the other night ?) Perfect example of the missing piece of the jigsaw .

Blaming the goalkeeping . Fair enough .

Revealing the septic state at the Royal Court at the swamp with MUTV wading in with hints from the players that their shambolic lack of passion the other night was down to the manager ! ....

The laughable and most enjoyable thing is that he can't see that he and his media cronies are part of the problem .

Rags get eyes on the page whatever is going on and he needs them to rise and fail every few months / weeks in order to stay in a job . Build them up then knock em down .

Institutional old school media is in a last ditch battle with the socials and they need need need the Rags just to stay afloat whether it's the BBC , newspapers or even Sky . In fact it's jackpot time if they are shit . Spectacle is what is demanded and that lot down the road are in bed with the devil .

Love it love it . It's the blind leading the blind in a feeding frenzy of failure and survival . Mutual dependency .

Makes me glad we are Likkle Tight Lipped City. The way our club is run must irritate the hell out of these " journalists " as we give them nothing but Pep's scraps at news conferences to feed on .

Ruben Amorim says ‘something has to change’ at United. What should that be?

You're 100% spot on with that surprisedbygrass.

Your post perfectly illustrates the insidious and toxic relationship that the rags and the mainstream media have colluded in over the years.

Two words sprung to my mind while reading your post, regarding the situation between these two eroding entities: "desperation" and "panic"

It's almost as though they've seen how the story ends, and they're in the death throes of a drowning man clawing at anything that looks remotely buoyant.

I love your description of how our club keeps it's own counsel, despite the constant assault from the media and the cabal's smear campaign and propaganda.

The best part, as you rightly said; it's driving them crazy.

Imagine how frustrating it must be for the media and the cartel that MCFC, just gets on with their business as usual and considers their pantomime villains unworthy of a response or reaction.

Ouch!

Plus he put the kiss of death to Sky Cycling, the overwhelmingly dominant force for years immediately before becoming Ineos.
