Hello there, a newbie keeper here...just switched from RB to keeper ( at least for the moment) because of nobody wanting to be keeper in my team...
Any useful tips on how not to injure my self when diving and charging in 1-1 situations?
BTW, are Puma gloves good?I bought a pair, Puma Veneno gloves..coz it was cheap,only RM49.Are these good enough,coz i saw the v1.06 which are way more expensive

QUOTE(glozz @ Mar 6 2007, 12:28 PM) Ermm; if you mean the sleeved shirts with pads; They're called goalie jerseys or goalie tops. You can find them in Pertama complex or Al-ikhsan. They're quite hard to find in normal retail shops. As for helping; obviously. Ultimately the perfect technique is to dive without skinning the elbows; achieved via skimming the surface and landing at one go rather than dragging the elbow through the surface; whereby the friction would tear the skin. But to cater for errors made, wear one since none of us have too much skin to shed and we all make mistakes. heh. Er..where is Permata Complex? oh, i think i'll go find at al-ikhsan  The Al-Ikhsan at the Curve or BB plaza there got ar? This post has been edited by FauxHawk: Mar 6 2007, 07:31 PM

QUOTE(tenno @ Mar 15 2007, 11:07 AM) To prevent fingers from getting injured, especially in futsal games, tape Ur fingers. U can use athletic tapes, or normal thin surgical tapes (about RM4 per roll). U can also tape (or use elastic braces) for Ur wrists. Those expensive elastic finger guards are just for show only, tape is better. A noob question, but how do you tape ur fingers? shud it be really tight, or loose? Would be nice for some one to post a tutorial on how  (seeing how i dun understand how and all)

Today's my first official game as a keeper... Wish me luck XD Would update how many thousand goals i let in later  UPdate - 3 matches, 2 goals conceded  only 1 clean sheet  ( We won though  Haf to applaud my team,any keeper would feel secured behind them,holding up the ball like for forever,and knocking goals for fun so i haf less pressure ) This post has been edited by FauxHawk: Apr 5 2007, 09:27 PM

QUOTE(waile @ Apr 15 2007, 10:39 PM) Hi, good to see a dedicated thread for GK. normally GK job is not as glamorous as midfielder and striker. and more often than not, we landed in that position because no one else wants it. that was the case for me. to me GK is really not so glamorous. normally ppl won't remember the fantastics saves you made but instead remember the blunders you made that caused your team to lose. on the other hand, if strikers missed the simplest opportunity to score they will be easily forgotten and the goals they scored will be remembered and sometimes recorded as well. i lucky i guess, i didn't have do anything for the whole match while we were 2-1 up,and suddenly at the last 5 minutes, i get to save 2 crackshots, i get applauded like i save the match or sumthing.

QUOTE(waile @ Apr 25 2007, 07:57 AM) nowadays contact lenses are soft lenses, won't shatter in your eyes. the worst thing that could happen is dust/sand goes into ur eyes. i've high astig too and it has to be custom ordered. a bit more expensive. 6 pairs would cost about Rm250. as i only wear for sports 1 pair could last me 2 months. for those who are shortsighted, try it and feel difference. after i started wearing contacts, i earned callups for friendlies. before that couldn't judge ball properly especially playing in the evening. at times when i was already dark i just raised my hand hoping the ball will hit my hand. Teh munniiizzzzz....I want to spend that money on buyin futsal shoes

For me...Cheapest  and comfortable  Currently wearin Umbro boots, which costs RM70 on sale about...2 years ago  .. couldn't find a name on the boots, but found weird letterings that say M O GOAL AI KTK FG .....It doesn't make sense 11111!!11.,when i bought it, i didn't bother bout the name  , just picked up random boots, and this was the most comfortable.
