The attacking goalkeeper story is interesting (does it still occur).
A couple of months ago I was going to make a post in the Troll Results thread about the following incident in a crucial game that I lost (I can't remember now if it was a league game that cost me top spot or a cup semi-final).
It was one of those games where I've almost-perfectly prepared and the opposition manager doesn't turn up, but I'm losing from an early goal despite being much stronger 'on paper', at home, dominating possession, shots on target etc. I just can't score and the opposition keeps getting dangerous-looking counter attacks.
You can probably imagine my optimism when I tell you I realised the oppo goalkeeper was taking corners! And nobody was staying back to cover the goal.
But can you imagine my despair when the ball repeatedly got cleared to my striker (top scorer in all competitions, with very high stats for speed, dribbling, shooting and finishing, but he just dawdled around on the halfway line holding up the ball before passing back to a midfielder or fullback?
Shoot for Heaven's sake! Run at the empty, open goal until someone closes on you and SHOOT!
I think I ended up losing 2 or 3-0.
