    ........... when passing to a teammate you were encouraged to play it in front of them to run onto? And when receiving a pass like that, you learnt to understand exactly why?

    Then you started to watch pro football and they could do this simple act to perfection, and you thought "when I play professionally, I'm going to pass just like that".

    When did passing it in front of a man stop being a thing? Because our lack of momentum when playing it constantly from side to side could easily be improved with this one small tweak.


    Tomorrow's sermon: Foul throws. When did they become perfectly acceptable?

    Good post that, I commented other week about Mael and said he seems to play the ball in front of his man but yesterday they were all knocking it 3 yard behind them!! At one stage in the first half Connell was literally pointing to the ground to tell others where to go :rolleyes: the one and only time we did need a good forward pass we knocked it too far and it cost us then :eek:

    Then, one after that is Goalkeepers kicking the ball from hand two feet outside the penalty box. When did that become acceptable?

    Nowt wrong with that as long as he lets go of it within the 18 yard box.
