rossjonesuk Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 If anyone knows Trundle, or knows someone who knows his cleaners son, can we try and find out what was behind the free-kick in Saturday?I laughed at the time - but I have just completed the 3 hour drive back and had it running through my mind the whole way back. The height, pace, and side foot technique were bizarre. It was almost as if he were trying to delicately place into the knackers of one of the Preston players.

Ronaldino did it last season for Barca.Its alright to try it when were 2/3-0 up but not at 0-0 in a game of few chances. If he wouldve taken it properly, i think he wouldve scored. But no, Trundle being Trundle, he had to try and be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtucks Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 ....looks an idiot if stupid free kicks don't come off.True, but you shouldn't be slated for trying something different.If you expect things to work every time you're a fool!He's scored enough special goals over the past few seasons which he wouldn't have scored if he'd played safe.

giles_23_bcfc Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 for someone who always sticks up for Lee (lets try the hollywood pass everytime) Johnson, you sort of contradict yourself by slagging off trundle for trying something different...Read what i said earlier! If were 2/3-0 up then that's the time to try it. But at 0-0 in a game with very few chances, it should be a proper free kick, in the top corner, so the city fans could celebrate a very fortunate 3 points.

Belfastcityfan Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm just bantering.....there is a time and a place for fancy freekicks, at 0-0, I think it's better to put a good cross into the box for one of guys to get a head to.

If he'd have tried a shot and it went blazing over the bar what exactly is the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd have tried a shot and it went blazing over the bar what exactly is the difference?Because, IMO, at 0-0, in a game of few chances (sorry about the broken record here!) its not the time to try flashy things. Stick to the basics, get them right, then try the flashy things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadle Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 During his match commentary, Kevin Betsy says that he's seen Trundle score 6 out of 6 free kicks in training, and he was expecting him to hit the target.It didn't work out, but I wouldn't write him off as a free-kick taker just yet.

samo Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Was that with or with out a cardboard cutout goalie? well, it's pretty obvious from your constant sniping at Lee Trundle that you don't like the bloke whatever he does, so if he had scored you'd most likely had labelled it a fluke anyway.

brisbanecityfc Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 What a buch of idiots, so te guy misshit a freekick wowBeckham does it nearly every time he takes a frre kick for England but nobody makes a comment.You so called fans do not deserve a team like bristol city, you should be here watching football then you could moan.Give the man a break, I'm sure a lot of you arent world beaters when it comes to your work, if you do work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, don't try and tell me what my own opinions are because what i said is absolutely true.No is isnt true, its your opinion.No free kick equals a goal and if he tried a normal free kick it could have hit the wall or flew over the bar.

Nibor Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 So we should add "not scoring a free kick" to Trundle's previous heinous crime of not being Niall Quinn then?Would be enough to hang, draw and quarter perchance?Perhaps he was simply trying to score and didn't, like 95+% of free kicks around the box. Just a thought like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
