..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.

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.
