Most of them arent even remotely funny, alright so the ball slipped out his hands; so what? Everyone in the world has their mistakes, some embarassing, some crucial and some can cause death. This guy dropped a football, we still got into the knockout stages and he saved a good ball later on and everyone still makes a big deal of it....
Its a big deal because it cost them the game AND because it was a shot that 90% of the members of this forum could have saved. Not to mention their other keeper is 'Calamity' James...
Well no, we drew the game; and besides could you REALLY save it? it was high speed and by a professional player in a professional game with fans shouting and screaming. Although to be honest their was one joke i found that was actually funny: My computer has a virus called robert green, now it cant save anything. Lol.
