When will we concede a "beach ball" goal

[horsechoker]

It seems inevitable we'll do this at some point in our banter arc

 

[eire-red]

In fairness, how often do you see a direct goal from a corner?

We've conceded 2 in 2 weeks. Is that not "beach-bally" enough?

We could concede a corner taken with a beach ball

Maybe we would be better if we played with a beach ball?!

 

[GazTheLegend]

@horsechoker Harry Maguire has a beach ball for a head

Hell, we should try it as it can hardly be any worse than what we've had...

We weren’t allowed to play football on the playground at school so we’d have a kick about with a tennis ball or a squashed coke tin. We could try that too?

I'm in. Let's also replace the goals with a couple of jerseys.

Ball gets carried over the goal line by a horde of mice is the most likely scenario currently

Yes! Nothing says ‘the pure joy of football’ like jumpers for goalposts.

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

In the VAR era the beach ball goal would have been ruled out, yet another reason why it is the miserable enemy of football.

A mouse infestation at Old Trafford? It does all fit...

 

[Vidyoyo]

I like the beach

 

[redshaw]

The team is beached

Absolutely, it's about time our rivals find it challenging to score from set pieces.

There were like 3 a year or two ago all scored by Douglas Luiz in the space of a few weeks, with one notably going in against Arsenal. Maybe the use of that humiliation as an educator is why they're now so good at set pieces?

I expect that, a year from now, we'll be twice as good as Arsenal at corners. Fully expect.

Not sure about that, I always thought if the ball hits any foreign object on the field of play, it's still play-on. Open to correction though!

 

[gulli_G]

Gernacho's and Rashford's ego is the beach ball

 

[Red00012]

A beach ball might help us score

Believe under the rules the beach ball should have been ruled an 'outside agent', same as if a streaker came on and hit the ball into the net, and it should've been no goal and a drop ball.

Thank God we got the funnier outcome.

Something like that. Or it will deflect in off a cat or a dog or a streaker.
