It's the Adelaide one that baffled me on Shitty Doors. "The Crows will win. Or will they?"
always insightful is one, Damien Barrett. Flog.

This reminds me, I stupidly decided to read the main board game day thread. The cries of Shuey ducking were atrocious. Someone even wished him harm from it. Don't think he's done it all year. Not actively anyway.

I think Bruce Macavaney doesn't quite understand what a goalkeeper does in sport. They're meant to stop the ball crossing the line, not hitting it over it...

Technically he is correct, touch it and you save a goal. Different to that round ball nonsense.

We'll have to agree to disagree with that. There is no sport in the world that I know of where the goalkeeper conceding a score is a good thing.
Yeah you score but its just a point not a goal so he is still correct. International rules has goal keepers with the same scoring system as ours but i guess you can't let it get behind you.

On January 27, 1994, the Barbados national football team and Grenada national football team played against each other as part of the qualification round for the 1994 Caribbean Cup. Due to an unusual scoring rule, as well as the two teams' respective positions in the tournament, it was alternately in Barbados's, then Grenada's, best interest to score an own goal. The result has been described as "one of the strangest football matches ever".[1][2]

Good try, but as I'm sure you're aware that's not really relevant when discussing how sports are normally played. :p
