This is a conundrum. I hate to see teams taking the ball into the corner..................BUT, if it helps Leeds to win, it's OK by me. But does it help Leeds to win? I offer you the eternal example of John Barnes...............Liverpool v Arsenal, last game of season, 1980-something. It was the famous game when anything but a 0-2 result would leave Lpool champions. At 0-1 in the last minute, Barnes got the ball on the corner of the Arsenal box, facing the touchline. He could have headed for the corner flag, but instead, he tried to beat his man (which would have given him a good shooting opportunity), lost the ball.............and Arse went down the other end to score and win the league. _____

If we had scored a goal more, the game would have been buried. The way we did, when loosing the ball after 10 seconds or so in the corner area, we let them have the chance on the break...

Damned if you do, damned if you don't? The free kick is cleared, they rush up the other end and score. And someone else would be complaining "why didn't we keep it in the corner..." - Si _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
