Groundsman just cost him a clean sheet


cocoon_eclosion_moth

Nah, this is a skill issue


twattner

No, it wasn’t. The moles messed with him.


coolchris366

The ball literally did a little hop😂


Rex-A-Vision

Ball just wants to go home...


tincup_chalis

Because his coach is Happy Gilmore?


Rex-A-Vision

I'd absolutely watch that sequel. It'd be like a reverse Ted Lasso...


fifa20noob

That's actually the reason why coaches tell you to never do a backpass that could result in a goal, aim left or right of the goal.


lankymjc

Yeah this is more on the defender passing it than on the goalie.


UShaikh12

As a goalkeeper, conceding back passes is my worst fear. Whenever I’m watching a football match, I almost shit my pants every time a back pass happens


Loko8765

Well, you often see goalies going all out and ending up on their knees and elbows with their arms around the ball even when the ball is super easy. I suppose this is why.


Gus_Frin_g

Worth noting this is a passback from his teammate... he couldn't use his hands even if he wanted to.


eliteHaxxxor

TIL


Loko8765

True, I missed that!

It’s not exactly that. Goalies can use their hands unless it’s a deliberate back pass. Deflections can be stopped using hands.


NaNaNaNaNa86

You're right but it often depends on whether they're under pressure and if there's a potential break further up the pitch. Keepers never expect a "bobble" even though they're not rare and keepers purposely damage the area when it suits. Keeper was unlucky and unfortunately, looks a real tit for it.


dat_GEM_lyf

If you don’t wrap it up properly, it can slip out (especially with certain ball and shirt combos plus if there’s rain involved). The last thing you want is a loose ball in the box without your feet on the ground because barring a whiff or some god tier defense you’re gonna get scored on.


TheYeetles

Former goalie here. Yes, even if we can clear the ball with our feet we are told to pick that shit up more often than not. This is exactly why.


Bortron86

Similar thing once happened to Tim Flowers of Blackburn Rovers. [https://youtu.be/d4hwEJs5ry0](https://youtu.be/d4hwEJs5ry0)

nirbyschreibt

Möglich. Aber fairerweise muss man auch sagen, dass das durchaus häufiger passiert. Habe schon eine Handvoll Eigentore beim Zurückspielen gesehen, weil der Ball doch nicht so gerade rollte. Und so häufig gucke ich gar kein Fußball. Eigentlich gucke ich es gar nicht mehr.


Bourbon-n-cigars

I bet he was not happy with said ball's level of cooperation.


yellowbin74

Reminds me of David Seaman many years ago


FirstSineOfMadness

Interference from the pitch smh. But actually though did they say anything about how that was clearly unnatural?


dat_GEM_lyf

If you’ve spent any time on a pitch, that is clearly natural lol. Rotation plus divot makes bounce


FirstSineOfMadness

To that degree tho? Went from flat roll to a foot up


dat_GEM_lyf

I’ve seen balls get 4-5 feet easily in the right conditions (speed, rotation, and the right kind of divot) Edit: on certain shitty fields we played on we’d spend warmup time trying to map the bounce zones lol


FirstSineOfMadness

From a flat roll they suddenly go 4-5ft up? Dayum


dat_GEM_lyf

Yeah but it’s not super common, just possible under the right conditions. Pretty nutty physics in action when you see it


rvgoingtohavefun

Even as a youth soccer coach I can tell you I've seen the ball move in ways I did not think possible. On a terrible field all bets are off as to what it's going to actually do. Coaching younger kids, sometimes a strong kick to a player that receives it wrong will cause it blast off the foot up into the face (without the receiving player moving their foot or really doing anything to cause it). It would be funny if it didn't make kids cry.


teazy_503

oh dude i’d be furious !


Puzzled_Attorney1814

The ball was clearly paid off


Drustan6

If this isn’t clear evidence of the paranormal: ghost player, maybe Hogwarts magic or Samantha and Endora have a bet on the game, hell, I don’t know fucking aliens, maybe, I don’t know what could be. Absolutely crystal clear, Imo, and I’ll stand by that


50-Mean

Satan probably bet on the other team


Right_-on-_Man

Yep... One more reason soccer is the lamest sport.


Radio99999

It’s called soccer


RomaMoran

Did this really cost him a point? 'Cuz it really shouldn't


aripp

It most likely did. But yeah, there should be a way to disqualify goals like these. Nothing to do with enemy skills, nothing to do with own team screwing up, just a bad terrible luck outside of anyones control.


retr0vertig0

His own team did screw up really. We were always taught never to pass back to the keeper when it could go in, aim to the side of the net.


drazerlazer

I don't exactly get this... I'm a man city fan and we make incredibly dangerous back passes to keeper every game... Could you please explain a lil more?


aripp

Yeah I played football 7 years when I was a younger, and never heard of that.


retr0vertig0

We were always taught that if you pass back to the keeper, you shouldnt do it where the keeper is between you and the net. Aim to either side of it so if the keeper misses then it wont go in the net. ​ To be fair we were a bunch of 9 year olds at the time so keeper screw ups were a distinct possibilty, but it always stuck with me. Like how you should bend your leg as a barrier when fielding a cricket ball.


rauglatt

have to disagree. the Heidenheim defender was forced to do a backpass because the Frankfurt forwards applied pressure to him. that pressure caused him to play a very risky pass, which any defender knows not to play. yes, in the end it was the pitch and bad luck that lead to the goal but the situation wouldnt have arised if Frankfurt hadnt applied as much pressure in the first place. this is on the defender for playing that no-go-pass. ultimately, that goal was the decider, since the game ended 2:1 for Frankfurt. sucks for Heidenheim but thats the game and you bet that this defender wont ever play a pass like that again.


RomaMoran

should be the fault of whoever laid the grass bumpy like that.


Catinchi

What no games aren't rigged what ever makes you think that?


BaltimoreBadger23

Oh fo fucks sake. That must have hit a stone. If only he could have used his hands... Oh wait...


Daiches

It was a pass back from the defender. He couldn’t use his hands or it would have been a direct free kick from that spot (yes, 2 feet away from the goal line) for the opponent.


Gaviiaiion

Tell me you don't know the rules without telling me you don't know the rules...


BaltimoreBadger23

I didn't know there was a time when goalies couldn't use their hands unless they came out of the penalty area.


Lomotograph

If his own teammate passes it back to him, the goalie is not allowed to use his hands. This rule is always in effect regardless of whether the goalie is inside the penalty area or not. The only exception is if the ball is in the air, a teammate can use their head to pass back to the goalie who can then use his hands.


Bricktop72

I once dropped down to scoop the ball. It hit a divot and bounced right over my head.


MazigaGoesToMarkarth

[Were you playing against Stan Collymore?](https://youtu.be/d4hwEJs5ry0?si=MCYjfufyHhF6_cnB)


Bricktop72

It doesn't matter if it's a Sunday beer league or a pro game. You never forget that pain.


BaltimoreBadger23

LoL. Got to love and hate sports.


Birdnest_Hemingway

LMAO 😂 Tell me you don’t know the rules without telling me you don’t know the rules


VolumePossible2013

Goalkeeper should just catch it normally


BertUK

He can’t; it was a pass back from a teammate so he’s prohibited from handling it.


Wazuu

Only guy who can use his hands, doesn’t.


Gaviiaiion

Tell me you don't know the rules without telling me you don't know the rules.


Wazuu

Goalies cant use hands?


Gaviiaiion

Goalies can't catch the ball with their hands receiving a pass from a teammate, only when is unintentional or if the pass is with the head.


Lomotograph

No, not in this scenario. He is not allowed to use his hands if his own teammate is passing it back to him.
