Avaà shot stopper Eduardo Martini fancied getting on the scoresheet, but be bothered to leave his own eighteen yard box. Fortunately, he found a solution to his lazy problem.
C.F. Pachuca’s lucky cat goes the extra mile to show support
In Europe, a mascot is expected to waddle up and down the sidelines, high fiving children and blocking people’s views. Over in Mexico, however, it seems their duties are a little different. Miguel Calero’s happy moment was originally spotted at The Footie.
Norwich keeper doesn’t care to fund Shearer’s BBC pay packet
A very conservative estimate of a Championship goalkeeper’s salary would be somewhere in the region of £200,000 to £300,000. This, you will undoubtedly agree, is a sufficient amount to cover the annual £139.50 TV licence required for every household on this island with an idiot box. Norwich City goalkeeper David Marshall would beg to differ:
Former Celtic goalkeeper David Marshall was yesterday fined £800 for not paying his TV licence. Marshall, 23, was handed the fine by magistrates in Norwich. The court was told that the keeper was caught watching TV without a valid licence. He was also ordered to pay court costs of £60 and a £15 victim surcharge.
What a poor example this man is setting. If nobody paid their licence fee, who would give Jonathan Ross the millions he deserves? Who would pay Steve McLaren to go and commentate on tournaments he should have been participating in? Who would broadcast England matches and FA Cup games? We could go on…
Czechs crash out due to keeper’s temporary rubbishness
Thoroughly dependable shot stopper Petr Cech momentarily experienced a condition known as ‘Paul Robinson-itis’ last night, as he gifted Turkey a victory and a place in the quarter-finals.
The Chelsea keeper was man enough to take full blame for the defeat, and Chelsea Pies are even suggesting the blunder was a good thing, as scouts from the likes of Inter Milan will have been scared off.
Cech’s mistake wasn’t the only example of ‘interesting’ goalkeeping this weekend - did anyone notice Edwin van der Saar’s volleyball-style wrist punch thing he did on Friday night?
Keeper’s phoney antics put Rivaldo and Dida to shame
With a heartfelt performance and perfect technique, this rogue goalkeeper is destined to sweep the board at the Cheaties* (a prestigious annual award ceremony that honours dishonourable conduct in sport). Anybody know who he is?
