I couldn't work out what the fuck had happened.

And on seeing the video, still can't

I think one of those where as he's about to throw, realises the throw is not really on and tries to "recall" it...there's a few examples where keepers have done similar but it's gone in.

Gary Sprake ( leeds) once threw the ball into his own net.
No h arm done !

On first viewing I thought he'd thrown it at the back of Robinsons head... But now I think he changed his mind about releasing it as the Norwich player started to close the space and tried to keep hold but couldn't

 

[Muttley]

I thought it had bounced off the back of Robbo

 

[Frank the tank]

That pass he did up the touchline was sublime

Exactly what I said to Trig Jnr (TE).

i know it was an easy three points, but it's rude to take the piss Cooper.

Silly mistakes like this can happen so it’s not a big deal.

My only concern was from that point onwards he kicked every goal kick long. Stopped passing it out. I remember at the start of the season he was passing it straight through to Vini but seems to have lost that all of a sudden?

That’s by instruction of the management though, he’s not all of a sudden lost the ability to play a goal kick short.

Confidence would play a huge factor in that.

Gary Sprake's famous own goal in Liverpool v Leeds match

Out of the corner of his eye the Welshman caught sight of Ian Callaghan edging out towards Cooper and he thought better of the quick throw. Roger Hunt was still close by, but represented little danger. Sprake intended to clutch the ball to his chest and readjust his position before clearing more safely. Stanger: "When he carried on with his throw the ball, instead of leaving his gloved palm near the top of the arc, stayed there for one split second and, on being released, it sailed over his left shoulder into the net."

Poor Robbo gets blamed for everything.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Confidence would play a huge factor in that.

Confidence in who he’s got in front of him is probably the only factor. With Souttar gone it’s a different dynamic, we’re rightly gerrin it forard more often to minimise the risk of losing the ball.

Certainly no Jimmy Anderson
