Has anyone ever done that? I've seen a keeper kick the length of a pitch, but diagonally from a corner, in totally the wrong direction? That is one hell of a miss-kick!

I've seen a corner where everyone but the attacking goalie is in the penalty area, corner taker aimed the ball towards the halfway line and picked the keeper out. Maybe with a gust of wind or in constant windy conditions on a small-ish pitch, it's possible. Bare in mind the LOTG apply to all competitive football, at all ages. So in youth football, pitches are smaller so it could have more chance of occurring. I personally haven't seen it happen before, even from online clips. But all eventualities must be covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
