I made two penalty saves this weekend:clap: Felt great
I can’t believe it has taken so long for a thread like this to be started 
A recent conversation in the pub.
Punter No 1: RTT, what does it feel like to concede a goal?
RTT: I don’t know.

I think the reply was “You know what? I almost forget!”

Many many years ago I was playing in the goals in a schools football final. I had a very old pair of boots held together with twine. Anyway, I took a kick out and the boot flew away into the distance. I ran out after the boot and picked it up. I turned around to see the corner forward tucking the ball into an empty net. We lost by a point. Brother Prunty was not pleased and I had a ringing in my ear for a month after the box in the head I got. The News and Star to their credit glossed over the incident.

So it went well besides that incident?
Played in goal alot underage, was quite good but had a poor enough kick out.
Ironically scored a goal from a kick out(from play)in an All Ireland Cup semi final one day in Carlow. Turned out to be the winner.
Also scored a goal from a free kick from edge of my own box in the states one year, but wind was big, ball was light an the keeper was Jamacian.
Goalkeepers are a bit mental, but they have too much time to think I reackon. They can also make good coaches

Agree 100% with this, also what drives us a bit mental is the frustration of things not going well out the field and not being able to get fully stuck in to try and change that. A lot of it prob stems from the fact that you should prob be the first on the field to spot where things are going wrong.

Is it wrong for a 'keeper to get excited when the other team is attacking.
Haha Fran,no it’s not as long as they don’t score!!

explain yourself Kevin.
I have played in goal for association football, but never in GAA, it can be quite enjoyable…
