Turns out that the other players can't touch the goalie near the goal area, or else, it's a foul.

I think Preston Burpo (then of New England Revolution, MLS) broke both legs in two places each. That sent him into retirement, but now he's a GK coach for DC United.

Word to the wise:
Do not malign the character of established members of this board in such a way where people cannot check to see if you're lying.
This is especially true in the case of the people who have to deal with the reports from your posts.

That Cock guy was just tedious. What a waste of electrons. I suppose it was supposed to be some kind of satire or something?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
