He usually is. I didn't really notice today.Is that usual?
Don't normally watch the warm ups but because I'm doing dry Jan was in my seat early today and noticed he wasn't part of the warm up. Or at least what I saw of it.
He's got so much confidence that he doesn't need to warm up!Is that usual?

He was practising kicking with 2 others (I think one was Collins) from the goal nearest the Watford fans before even the other players came out and practising shot stopping while the rest of the team were doing their pass & intercept kick around.Is that usual?

Unless my eyes are that bad.
The Referee got it wrong. An opposing player isn’t allowed to “deliberately” block a goalkeeper kicking the ball out of his hands. It should be a free kick. Hence the referee realising at half time, or from the 4th official and then giving a free kick in the second half for the same thing. Dovin was furious and rightly so.He had another great game today. So happy we have a proper number 1. However - apart from when he decided to purposly kick the ball at their CF which nearly resulted in a goal.
I've no idea what the rules are on that - but why didn't he just side step him. Nearly ruined his great form with one stupid moment.
we were in our seats early today, about 2:30. i didn't see him anywhere on the pitch for the 30mins before the game. and as soon as i realised he wasn't warming up in the goal i was looking for him.Is that usual?

Cheeky little humble brag slipped in there.Is that usual?

That's what Gerri said.He's got so much confidence that he doesn't need to warm up!
Well hard!
Unfortunately the rules aren't really 100% clear on that.
Should be a foul imo though.
It's always been like itHonestly I don’t see why. It’s not a free kick, it’s just a player playing the ball and he should be allowed to be challenged but GKs have a protection field around them these days I guess.

You think the keeper should be allowed to be challenged when he drop kicks it?Honestly I don’t see why. It’s not a free kick, it’s just a player playing the ball and he should be allowed to be challenged but GKs have a protection field around them these days I guess.

All it would do is cause scrappy, dangerous situations and would have no benefit to either the skill or spectacle of the game.
Because in order to block it you’ve got to be very close and risk getting kicked or a ball in the faceI think a player should be able to stand in front of a clearance to block it yes. The ball is out of their hands and in play, why on earth wouldn’t they. Not sure why it would be dangerous.

No because usually the ball is being kicked off the ground, not out of the hands. Anyway, you’re being deliberately obtuse.Like all challenges then?
If the striker is out of the area it’s not out of their hands is it? Or that would be a free kick.No because usually the ball is being kicked off the ground, not out of the hands. Anyway, you’re being deliberately obtuse.
What does allowing players to stand a yard in front of the keeper to block add to the game? Nothing.
Did you even watch the situation yesterday? Dovin was kicking from his hands and the striker was outside the area.If the striker is out of the area it’s not out of their hands is it? Or that would be a free kick.
It’s this sort of stupidity that leads to overhead kicks being banned.

Overhead kicks are a foul if there is another player challenging the ball with their head because it’s dangerous play. No idea what your point is here.
As long as the opposition player is outside the box and not trying to actively block I don't see yesterday's incident as being a foul. At the end of the day Dovin doesn't have to take every kick from the edge of his box. If he takes it 5 yards further back its going over the forwards head regardless.
Dovin needs to get careful anyway, as he gets very borderline close to still holding the ball outside the area when he releases such kicks, and it could be only a matter of time before some eagle eyed official pulls him up for it if he continues to do so.
