Not unusual for Saxons to lose bur unusual for team to not score.
Scartholonia have moved up two notches and the improvement continue? |
Newton have expressed a problem, every game they are playing Steve Goodwin seems to be the opposition goal keeper. Rightly they ask ‘ if they can field a GK, why can’t other teams?’ Fair point? Other teams are not expressing this problem as they are glad of Steve’s assistance. Your comments kevin@futsal.org.uk Back to the football, this was a game that under normal circumstances Newton would have won easily and tied up the Championship, the fact that they draw was singularly down to SG’s exceptional goal keeping, including a penalty save. |
GRS battled but was always chasing a strong Trawler-men side who passed and moved the ball quickly, using the full court to stetch GRS to breaking point. GRS did have chances but needed to take them all to have got close to the Trawler-men. Feature of the game was number of power shots that beat goal keepers to hit goal post and bar. |
PS. SG goal keeping. By playing every night as often as he can SG has greatly improved himself as a GK. He has been recommended to East Coast Futsal in FA National League.
Steve GK comments: |
Hi Kev I think Steve is a fantastic keeper but he does make the difference in the teams he plays for. And I don’t think it’s fare he plays for other teams as outfield player cannot! He also played for us for one game and he was the difference in that game, if he hadn’t played maybe we would of lost! |

Teams can loan one outfield player per game, but must obtain opponents permission first.
The loan GK was intended as a measure to help teams out when struggling for GK, it is a specialist position and they are not to many about. in the rules submitted to LFA we did add that the rule would be rescinded if abused.

Steve Goodwin is a very good keeper, the fact he helps other teams out doesn’t seem a problem to me as i know myself it is hard to find a keeper willing to play so therefore its a great help , i have played against Steve and we have won and he has also played for us and we have lost therefore i don’t believe its a crucial deciding factor, yes hes a great keeper but he still is beatable so therefore I don’t see a problem |
