RumRed Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Anyone else wonder if towels hanging in the goal and bottles in the corner make it easier for strikers? Watching MOTD and I’d imagine a towel that you know is hanging in the goal would allow you to orientate yourself with a quick glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 A towel hanging in the net is one of those things that remind me of the 70s for some reason so long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Old Boy Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 This was started by a German goalkeeper, to ensure everyone knew it was his goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I remember / miss the (illegal?) goalie-made mark, made by dragging his heel in a straight line right down the centre of the box. Flags on the half-way line, a yard or so off the pitch , but at half-way As someone said before , the silly A B C D half-time score thing The smell of piss in the old East End toilet, the open air one getting burned by someone's ciggie getting your scarf nicked by a scary-looking away fan when there's no help about 7:30 KOs The old floodlight pylons Pillars in your way Plain shirts with no sponsors names Huge rosettes with lethal safety pins in the back Pennants Rattles (plastic or wooden) the list is massive The City cheerleaders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day I get goosebumps thinking about being a kid in the fields playing football with our goals made from our jumpers. People who are football people really do have something special. I just couldn't imagine not being a fan of football. It really is a love affair that goes way back for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
