Would've been hilarious if the goalie went hard and saved it.

But GOD, can you imagine botching the save if you did?

Nah, you could easily play it off like you were trying to make the attempt look better. Like should have dove over it. Would have been cooler than just standing there.

Ahh yes I used my elite goalie skills to read him and know he would kick it to the right, so I jumped to the left full power to make it look real

You've never seen the video of NFL mascots just wrecking children?

There's some Old World blood feuds playing gout when this happens in Minnesota. Mascots are going full speed and the kids are wearing brass knuckles, it's pure madness.

I was at a testimonial match in the 90's, I believe it was Sunderland vs Everton but I can't remember whose testimonial it was (I was only a kid at the time). A kid had been brought on from the stands to take a penalty and the keeper did save it. But the referee found an excuse for the penalty to be retaken and the kid scored.

So rival clubs can see and sign him up before Everyon get relegated.

He is too good to be playing championship football for Everyon.

I was also curious so I did a google search. The Wikipedia article outlines some controversies they have: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barstool_Sports

A lot of people have scumbag bosses but are decent people as well. Don't pretend like that's impossible.

> Likewise, don’t pretend that working for someone you know to be a scumbag isn’t highly questionable in and of itself.

We know and agree that Jeff Bezos is a scumbag. So you think every single person working for Amazon is a scumbag too? Every single middle-class packager just trying to get by, working with shit wages and conditions, having to pee in bottles, is a scumbag?

Apologies to Mr. Paul Stratton from Liverpool, not to be confused with Fucking Hell who is probably not Polish.

Bro I read this as “stabbed” and I immediately thought he was watching the game as a foreigner in the ultras section or something.

All the comments were positive so I read it again and still read stabbed lol.

That was beautiful. Wondering if it wouldn't have been nicer if the goalie made a pretend attempt to block the goal (still letting it in, but at least jump to the other side). Don't make it SO obvious you're just letting him score.

I love that he did the classic "knees on the grass, pump the fists" celebration move. I feel like that part is more exciting than getting the goal!

figboot11 t1_j704d3t wrote

Really cool...but it had me thinking. If I was in his place, would I have wanted the goalie to give it his all? I think I would have. The personal satisfaction of scoring a legitimate goal that required a bit of skill and luck would have been that much greater. If he blocked it, then so what...he's a pro and that's what he's supposed to do.

isaacwdavis t1_j707ket wrote

I agree with you if I was the shooter I would want the goolie to actually try and save it. But from the goalie's perspective he would have been crucified if he did save it by people that felt he should let the guy have the goal.

AUserNeedsAName t1_j70ihlh wrote

And it's not like the man gave the kick his all either. Maybe we could have this conversation if he yelled a cheeky challenge to the keeper or whatever and tried for a screamer, but he was clearly just keeping himself together emotionally while he gave it enough to dribble in. A "test of skills" was not the page anyone was on.

Ne0guri t1_j70bxtz wrote

The guy didn’t even know he was going to be doing this in the first place. Would be messed up if the goalie did try to save it lol my man had 0 preparation for this. I’m just glad he didn’t shank it and miss the goal altogether.
