..to catch the ball?

Payed fortunes for what they do...why is everything palmed away or punched.

May as well bin the use of gloves.

I remember as a kid my old Sondicos....Keepers nowadays are pony.

Very true....wrong forum as well.

I don't mean catch a Roberto Carlos rocket free kick but they palm everything away. The skill set has been lost.

risk reward...they could probably catch a lot that they punch but the risk of dropping and giving a tap-in is not worth the risk

I could be wrong but are goalkeepers' gloves covered in a thick foam on the inside? If so it would

explain why they can't catch a ball.
