Not many keepers can at this level. I was never sure to laugh or despair when Jamie Turner would line up to take a goal kick, and all 20 outfield players would congregate on one side of the pitch! I thought Wilkinson was pretty good. He's only young remember. He had a very good game for us in the KSC final.

Ahhh, those were the days...!
Very common guys, any coach worth their salt would get his team doing this ... you dont hoof the ball centrally done the pitch where the oppositions best/biggest players are (centre halves), you aim at the fullbacks and try to drag the opposition out of position, or win some sort of foul/throw out on the flanks. Nothing to do with the keepers ability to kick straight.
As a goalkeeper I was always taught to play a short ball to my own full back rather than risk giving away possession. Another thing that always bothers me, cos this method never seems to bring any success: From the kick off, the striker will pass the ball back to a midfielder, who then thumps the ball far into the opponents half, normally out of play. I have NEVER seen any goal come from this so what's the point?!
sometimes its more about territory than possession, at this level 25passes then a goal are unlikely, some teams prefer to get the ball into the final third, even if the opposition have it, in the hope they can pressure them into a mistake in a dangerous area.

As a goalkeeper I was always taught to recieve the short ball from my full backs, flick it up and then volley it straight into the oppo's net. Never fails!!

Who taught you how to be a goalkeeper, Stevie Wonder? Did they also tell you not to concede 3 goals by a hammer thrower as well?
