Emilianenko Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 What's with the hand singles, gestures for our corners? Hands on head , left hand raised, both hands raised, bouncing the ball etc. Why do we do this as some sort of signal yet every single one of our corners goes near post inside the six yard box? Gillette advert springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We’ve not had a good corner taker since Chris Lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlofOliveGrove Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The only thing I can decipher is that if the taker puts his hands on his head the corner is going nowhere near the box, most likely out of play. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAnotherShez Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looking at all clubs, their 'signals' could be something completely different from the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've improved our corners but they were dreadful before. Now it seems like we have a variety of options even if the technique is a bit awry.

I've come to this assumption- Two hands on the head means = no feckin idea where this could end up. One hand in the air= It'll probably not beat the pipsqueak on the front post. Both hands in the air= I'm going to feckin whack it to the opposite corner flag as high as I possibly can. Bouncing the ball = feck me I'm bored as poo . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
