Keep THIS!

Now now, Goalkeeping isn't all about saves and clean sheets!

Oooo hello, Dean Spill here, personal Goalkeeping Coach to Dean Brill. I was just having a debate with young Dean about the fundamentals of Goalkeeping and I am disappointed to see that the young man still has a lot to learn. He keeps going on about how, he wants to improve his "shot stopping", "handling" and "organising the defence" when he hasn't even started on the basics yet!

As Deano isn't listening I guess i'll share me secrets with you guys instead while your here! I'll start off with some basic rules to keeping goal:

1. Free kicks are dangerous, stand in the middle of the goal and look the other way so the kicker doesn't know which way you will dive.

2. Don't get drawn off your line when the ball gets crossed in, those outfielders can be pretty rough and Goalkeepers bruise easily.

3. When possible try not to dive, the English Football season runs throughout winter and the pitches can get muddy and it can be a pain to wash off your shorts, top and knees

4. When possible blame Kelvin Lomax for loosing his man, he's shit!

Nooo Deano Nooo, I don't care that you have just saved 5 free kicks in a row that's not how you defend them! You stand behind your wall, theres less chance of you getting hurt lad!
