Soccer Goals
December 30th, 2010 by admin

Would Soccer be more interesting with smaller goals but no goal keeper?
Sometimes I Watch Soccer and think, gee they simply dont score often enough! At the same time I think that if you just got rid of the goal keeper scoring goals would be way too easy because the grounds are too small.
I would love to see what would happen in a game with a goal half the height and width with no goalies. Do you think it’d be interesting?
Ya we play like this in practice somtimes it is good but not as real soccer thats the real game.

Ally McCoist: Portrait of a Hero $15.95 A schoolboy prodigy, it was always clear that McCoist was destined for top flight soccer. At just 16 he signed his first professional contract with St. Johnstone, shooting to prominence in the 1980/81 season, scoring 22 league goals and playing a starrring role for the Scottish youth team. He was soon hot property. After two years of mixed fortunes at Sunderland, McCoist returned to Scotland and signed for his boyhood heroes Glasgow Rangers. Over the next 15 years, he established himself as arguably the greatest goal-scorer ever to play for the club. He not only gave heart and soul for Rangers but was also capped 61 times for Scotland. This authoritative and affectionate portrait of this much-loved sportsman charts the highs and lows of a fascinating career, culminating in McCoist reaching legendary status. It also looks at the events that helped to shape his life—overcoming homesickness when first playing for an English club, the effects his parents’ separation had on him, and how he coped when his young son had to undergo several life-saving operations. Having hung up his books, Ally’s vibrant personality made him a natural for the television screen. Now, however, he has come full circle and returned “home” to be assistant manager at his beloved Rangers. This wonderful book is a must-read for any soccer fan or indeed for anyone captivated by this larger-than-life character. |

He is the younger brother of Ross Aloisi. Aloisi signed for English Premiership side Coventry City in December 1998 from Portsmouth then of the lower division Championship League. The fee was £600,000. He made his debut in a 1-1 home draw with Derby, being introduced as substitute a few minutes from the end. In the next home game against Tottenham Hotspur, Aloisi was again on the bench. This time though he came off the bench to equalise in a 1-1 draw. Aloisi’s next notable performance came almost 12 months later in a historic 4-1 win away at Villa Park against Aston Villa. This was Coventry’s first ever away victory in the League against their Midlands rivals. Aloisi bagged two goals, playing his part in an excellent team performance. Aloisi started in the next game – a home match against fellow strugglers Charlton Athletic – but ended up being sent off for punching Danny Mills the Charlton player and banned from the game for some considerable time. Aloisi failed to claim a regular starting place for the next two seasons even though his club was short on goalscorers and the Sky Blues bought other strikers to the club. Many thought Aloisi lacked the pace and power and mental strength required for the Premiership and that he wasn’t technically gifted enough. In total he made just seven appearances during his first two seasons at the club. 2000/01 was a disappointing season for Coventry as they were relegated from the Premiership.
