Krul

Not open for further replies.
Once the ball is spotted and Krul is stood on his line it shouldn't matter though if the lad is mentally strong enough. If he isn't then Krul did exactly the right thing. Really is much ado about nothing in my opinion. Only reason it's stirred the debate it has is because of who Krul plays for.
what if as part of my penalty taking routine i run up and kick the keeper, the ball is nestled in the net and not in play so the penalty stands?
 

Well I didn't see his antics, I have seen the saves, but did the players tell Krul where they were going to put the ball?
And Krul was in goal for the Dutch pelantees?

Sorry fella, that was a typing mistake, i meant watch the dutch penalties but put the keepers name down wrong.

I suppose in a nutshell it comes down to whoever commits first. A great penalty taker lets the keeper commit first, even if that means he has no idea where the ball is going as his foot is about to connect. The players who missed committed themselves first so then it was just a case of Krul guessing correctly, which he did. If the keeper stays stock still i promise any reasonably paced strike 2/3 yards either side will do.

I suppose i took it one stage further the other day by showing how top sportsmen recognise what's been offered to them. If you focus on the players centre of gravity that is what you have to beat or simply slip past. Apart from superman no man or object has ever gone anywhere without his CofG.
 
Ryder was loving it all on Twitter last night; I'm sure should De Gea do the same to try to put a NUFc player off before a pen he'll take it with the same humour
 
Not at all, there were times where the ball was spotted and he was still chirping on. Also, for me, nothing to do with who he plays for. Just think it was over the line and should have been stopped by the officials.



I am happy that you're happy happy mate.
Did you write on here during the euros in 2012 when Hart was pulling faces at the Italians as they were running up to the ball? Surely just as off putting. Or perhaps the fans behind the goal should stay perfectly quiet and not wave arms around incase it puts the players off?
No problem at all with a bit of gamesmanship. All about winning at end of the day.
 
for any penalty, as soon as the ball goes on the spot, it's live. If the keeper wants to dance around his six yard box, go for a drink, fasten his laces or scratch his arse then he can but the ball can whistle past him

I have no idea what I wrote about in 2012. The officials can not control the crowd but they can with the players. That is there job. They never did it.
 
That sort of post is best reserved for a poster like Bristow. About his level.
well where do you draw the line? krul is and always has been a terrible cheat, fair enough it's his game and it works but if we do nothing to stop it we'll see pardew and pulis with players like krul slowing games down and turning the game into a farce.

We changed the back pass rule because in some cases Liverpool were ruining games after taking the lead.

I dare say you wouldn't have condemned Hart as it wouldn't fit in with an anti Newcastle agenda. If Vito/pantimillon do that for every penalty next season and it gives us an edge I couldn't care less.

Every team slows the game down when it suits their purpose. How many sides make a substitution with about 30 seconds to go to try and run clock down if winning by odd goal? Goalkeepers hanging onto ball longer if winning yet if losing it's down the field in blinking of an eye!
Or perhaps it's only those nasty Geordies who do this? :lol:

well i knoooow that hence why i named the crystal palace manager Tony pulis, perhaps you missed it?

anyway answer the question, where do you drawer the line.
 
I don't think Krul did too much wrong in terms of gamesmanship. I doubt there was any direct violation of the rules. A bit of leg stretching and eyeballing, nothing for a professional sportsman to worry about, unless they're seriously weak willed.
I suppose if the authorities wanted to clean things up a touch they could make a rule that the keeper must remain behind the 6 yard box extended line at all times. That would remove any close quarter conversations and simple to apply. The keepers already have to stay in a certain area when the kicks are taken so including their entrance/exit walks should be easy, especially with the pitch markings already there.
Seriously though, any proper penalty taker should use Krul's antics to their own advantage.

You mean like scoring then telling him to fuck off? I think they did try that, Krul saved two though

Sunderland don't do this though ? :lol:
You certainly don't draw the line at a keeper having a word with an upcoming penalty taker in order to gain an edge that's for sure.
Probably draw it a player missing a penalty then proceeding to boot the keeper in head in order alleviate his frustration I'd say! :lol:
 
Top keepers don't need to resort to such cowardly tactics.

Skipping about like a fairy and shouting in players faces.

Absolutely embarrassing.

why I'll take my red card happily but krul won't be able to continue unfortunately.

Sunderland have always been absolutely terrible at cheating, the amount of times we haven't stopped a counter attack by taking a yellow on the halfway line, it's enough to make my eyes bleed.

but no manonne doesn't take 3 minutes to take a goal kick but more importantly he doesn't do it 5 minutes into a game at 0-0
 
I'm a 'scum' fan & as I post on a Sunderland board I fully expect to be called scum etc. Ive also worked in Sunderland before, meeting some absolutely brilliant people & having some great football banter with them....I never felt threatened. DB & the majority of posters imo know the difference between the internet & real life. This would be a boring forum without the antagonists.

Thanks mate. This is not really about the local rivalry, it is about appearing superior on here. Your shower of shite are just the vehicle.
I also NEVER use the word scum for NUFc. I choose other words. I have never sung '' we beat the scum <insert score>''

I don't think catts has a problem with the middle paragraph mind.
We are just as bad as the next team for gamesmanship and so we should be. Get no points for being all magnanimous.
Much as all fans feel refs give them a rough ride and that the media are constantly against them they can't see that it cuts both ways.
