I say 'legitimate' because I don't think '[b]guessing[/b]' should be the determining factor...because let's face it... that's all the goalie is doing.... [b]guessing[/b] where the ball might be going. Look at the difference in the players over the past 20 years. Bigger, stronger faster. Toe of the boot has changed rather dramatically and what about that [b]BALL![/b] That thing [b][i]moves[/i][/b] now more than anyone could possibly have imagined even just 5 years ago. As I see it... the only [u]legitimate[/u] [b]no goal[/b] we see today is when the 'striker' misses the mark. In all other penalty shots where the goalkeep stops the shot he's 'guessing' and you can see it every time. I don't know how far you'd have to move the ball back... maybe it's 3 feet... maybe it's only a foot but I suggest there is a magic distance the ball could be moved back that would at least somewhat mitigate what the goalie faces in today's player...his boot and that damn ball. So again I say... if the outcome's to be determined via a shoot out.... the goalkeep has to be a legitimate part of the play. ___________________________________________________________________________ You'll never have to think outside the box if you don't get in the damn box in the first place.
