[Football] Forest's Samba last night

[albionalex]

I think Oliver should have booked him. But can't blame Samba for trying to get an advantage. Maybe the Sheffield keeper should have tried something too.

So is this saying "if your goalie is sent off, you CAN make a sub to bring a keeper on?"

I don't believe so. I think the 'A goalkeeper who is sent off must be replaced by an eligible player' means anyone who is eligible to take part in the penalty kicks.

And eligible players are those on the pitch at the final whistle. I believe if a goalie or player is sent off during the penalty kicks then the other team have to drop one of their players so the shoot out is between the same number of players on each team.

I've just looked back over the laws.

A goalkeeper who is unable to continue before or during the kicks may be
replaced by a player excluded to equalise the number of players or, if their
team has not used its maximum permitted number of substitutes, a named
substitute, but the replaced goalkeeper takes no further part and may not
take a kick
• If the goalkeeper has already taken a kick, the replacement may not take a
kick until the next round of kicks


So it would seem 'eligible player' includes unused subs, and any player not taking part to even up numbers.

A word for his penalty saves though, quite superb. If Forest come up he will be a credit to the Premier League.

Penalty saves aside I thought he looked a bit shaky over the 2 legs, particularly when coming for crosses/high balls? Not sure he’s Prem standard tbh

Bruce Grobbelaar was the first I remember in the European Cup final v Roma to try and put players off with his wobberly legs routine

The Forest fans love him, he's great value, one fan on the Forest fans forum reckons his antics and standard of goalkeeping are worth the admission fee alone. I think he'll be a credit to our EPL and look forward to seeing him in action if they do go up, but against a high quality Huddersfield side that is no foregone conclusion.

Has an outfield player been the goalie in a penalty shoot?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

At the time, I was shouting at the TV for the referee to book him. But I have to admit it was top, top shithousery and we'd love it if Big Bob had done it and got away with it.

I was hoping this thread was about woodland dancing.

 

[Audax]

I saw the thread title and was expecting to see a video of them doing a Strictly routine in celebration...

 

[Turkeydove]

Well, i for one did not like it and think he shud have been booked or sent off
