Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Could someone please explain to me how, during the course of a week on the training ground, we have now arrived at the decision that Mayo should take all our corners ?
We must have had about 4 or 5, and each one, without exception, was floated aimlessly into the area, providing an absolute DOLLY catch or punch for their keeper, or a simple head away for the defence. In other words, an absolute piece of PISS for ANY defence to deal with.
I know we don't exactly have any Beckhams in the squad, but surely, SURELY there is someone who is capable of whipping in a corner with a bit of pace ? You know, something that the opposition has to actually REACT to and deal with. A Mayo corner is a complete and utter waste of time. We'd do better just kicking it off for a goal kick, at least then there's less risk of us getting caught on the break, cos we sure as hell ain't gonna get anywhere CLOSE to creating a chance of our own from a farty aimless floaty ball dinked over with all the pace of an asthmatic pit pony.
In a tight game, or when we're under the cosh and not creating much in open play, a corner kick can very often be one of the few outlets, one of the few genuine scoring opportunities we will get to notch a goal. Well if we EVER actually manage to score direct from one of those Mayo "floaters", I will eat Beach Huts pants.
What the f*** do they do on the training ground all week ?
