Kamikaze Tactics

Yet again we had a display of the new kamikaze tactics of the goalie playing out field-Stay in the area where you should be .Very close again to gifting the opposition a goal. Also why do both centre backs have to go up for corners. Both these practices need stopping fast. This league is quite tight at the top end and giving silly goals away could cost us at the end of the season. As we are a not free scoring side nowadays we need a very disciplined defence to maintain our position and not get caught on the break.

Both centre backs are a threat from corners. Well they would be if the corner beat the first man.

I don't mind the keeper going up in the last minute, increases your chance of scoring and points are far more important than goal difference. Also think both centrebacks should be up for corners, the opposition usually leaves 1 player forward in which case you need 2 defenders back, so it's best to keep your full backs marking that player and let your centrebacks to go forward.

This entirely.

If our centre backs never went up, we would be even less free scoring.provide cover and send them both up, hardly a new or revolutionary thing is it?
Also you say yet again the goalie went up, are you referring to the cup game when Mckeown went up? We were going out anyway so it makes absolutely zero difference if we went out by an extra goal, we're still out.

Some guy who sits behind me in the upper smiths was loudly and continually moaning about mckeown going up in the last minutes of the cup game, I don't understand some people's desire to moan about the strangest things.

Standard practice across the planet. For good reason.

McKeown has got nowhere near the ball on the three occasions he has come up. There is absolutely no evidence to support this assertion other than Glass scoring for Carlisle. The Dartford game had two minutes to go. There is no telling what might have happened. Instead we played out those last minutes two down.
Saturday could have been the same.

There is a reason they are goal keepers, because they are better at stopping the ball going in the net than scoring goals (With the exception of Anthony Williams). Keepers just go up and get in the way of someone better able to direct the ball into the back of the net.  When it comes to football this one of my pet  peeves, I've never understood the need for keepers to be almost at the halfway line when the ball is in the opposition half. Sure, charge out the area to close a player down if needed, but these acts of bravado of nonchalantly sitting so far up the field just makes them stupid when they have to back peddle like idiots into the area to use a keepers one main advantage, their fecking hands. Personally I'd tie them to the goal line. The fact that Glass' goal is so well known kind of shows how rare a keeper scoring like this is.

With you on this, if Mckeown came up for set pieces 100 times he would not score and just gets in the way, and why does he go walk abouts during a game sometimes almost to half way is he a frustrated outfield player, please stick to what you are good at goalkeeper
