    A bit obvious if you ask me...

    Holding ball aloft with both hands prior to taking corner = this one is going straight int the keeper's hands.

    One arm up = this one won't clear the first defender.

    Two hands up = this one will sail past everyone, and go harmlessly out for a goal kick.

    I can't see the point of the out swinging corners. He would have been better letting Kennedy take in swingers with his left foot.

    It means he'd it over or loop it back to the keeper

    Its all pillock to mek us think they practice corners in training.

    If we do practise them then there is something seriously wrong. We are so bad at set pieces I'm convinced we actually practise at hitting the ball straight to the keeper or at the first man.

    Maybe we should do exactly that, and then when we are trying to find the keeper it would find a striker's head instead. Reverse psychology and all that.

    That kind of humour should be noted by the writers of a certain fanzine...

    We don`t bother practising them, because its not worth it as we cannot recreate the same match conditions so there is no point ! Or some such reasoning :rolleyes:

    I seem to recall that a certain Neil Redfearn always raised two hands.

    Maybe the signal is in the body shape and not how he holds the ball.

    After you have used the signal once its effectiveness has gone.

    There's no point. You can't recreate the pressure of taking corners during a match. Eh Flicker?

    Out swingers eliminate the keeper from taking them. Still need to be quality though. Majority of ours are floated that's the problem. Need to be hit like a free kick that is shot at goal.

    Exactly the right strategy. When I'm golfing I aim for the bunker - on the premise that I'll be off target! so all my good shots end up in the sand!

    I prefer the inswinger because you don't need to re-direct the ball as much. Needs to be flat and with pace so the keeper can't claim it though. Not slow and loopy.
