Knee slides

[Dynamite]

After the Leeds match I think Thomas Frank was quite outspoken in expressing how stupid it was to get a yellow card from taking the shirt of after a goal. In that match the two yellow cards to Canos cost us at least a point, perhaps even the victory.

This season I would like Thomas to focus on knee slides. I hope, he’ll tell the players how stupid it is to risk a injury.

As a fan it’s the goal that makes me happy, not the knee slide. Please stop it.

Bit dry out there at the moment.
Wait until it rains.
I enjoyed Ivan's one at Norwich though.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Disliked by coaches and groundsmen alike. And me.

 

[IkastBee]

Agree. But they can't take their shirts off or jump into the crowd, so there is not a lot left to do.

 

[middlesexbee]

I quite enjoy watching them, just something satisfying about it. There are good ones and bad ones... a good one for me would be Cash vs City

This moment was beautiful. For that reason, I‘m out:

Need a bit of rain before planning any knee slides in August....unless the sprinklers can come on as soon as we score ?

 

[Stanley]

I do often wonder if all these knee slides contribute to the various knee injuries like acl’s etc…it can’t do them much good

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

A congratulatory shake of the hand followed by a jog back into position (just enough time for a brief puff of the pipe en route).

Can I also add leaping on the backs of players. Sometimes its 3 players doing it, and grabbing around necks too. Crazy!

every goal should not be celebrated to any degree

about turn, then walk back to your own half with barely a flicker of emotion

....Fulham's big lump celebrated his first yesterday with one....slid for a yard ...then up on his feet....looked absolutely naff.

I accidentally slipped on a wet pitch putting full body weight on my bent knee.2 operations to cartilage & cruciate lig & I never played again.

And what on earth is that ridiculous thing he does with his hand to his ear?

Save their energy, channel their emotion, avoid injury (Bamford last season), and go on and score another goal.

 

[N5022N122]

Or they could do an Ajer to avoid it and land on your coccyx.

 

[coconino]

I wince when I see knee slides, just thinking of all the bottle tops and lolly sticks hiding in the grass.

 

[Doovster]

I think the Kris Ajer bum slide is safer, apart from the risk of putting your lower back out!

I suspect if there was any clear link to knee slides and injuries it would be something our coaching/medical team would be fully onto and would be stopping.

Well, there's a clear link between a player removing his shirt, and receiving a Yellow Card, and we don't seem to have a lot of success in stopping that.......

Good point.

.... he's not the brightest star.... let's face it.

An incredible set on offer here ?

First Wissa excecuting the yoga knee slide perfectly... Onyeka second with a failed knee slide to crawl combo... Norgaard third semi-successful slide... Pontus slides in fourth with absolutely perfect technique... fifth, up comes poor Hickey who digs both knees in and goes flying face first into the ground, looking something in-between sheepish and trying to hide the pain ?

From 5:45 onwards:

 

[JimLevack]

Both Hickey and Norgaard looked like they did themselves damage sliding in after Wissa’s goal. I love a good knee slide but if they’re both missing v Leicester I think we might see them outlawed by Thomas.

So they should be. Knee injuries are a nightmare. Why would any high performance athlete risk a self inflicted injury? Ridiculous.

Hazard to stop knee-slide celebration

You can understand the concerns about football players constantly heading the ball. They don’t help themselves.

It's very easy to say, but emotions take over the best of us. How many stupid things do we all do when emotions are high. I do agree though should be banned.

 

[TheHairdresser]

Noticed FTT took a 10 iron to the St Mary's pitch with his one.

 

[Dynamite]

The Grumpy Dane is back.
If you look at the "Your view" film from the Club, you see a couple of knee slides.
After Wissa's goal in Southampton, Norgaard tries to make a knee slide, but unfortunately without any slide (5,50). At 6,20 you can see him limping away.

By the way Hickeys knee slide was even worse.

If any of them are injured tomorrow the Grumpy Dane will be very grumpy.

Should be banned. Wouldn’t tolerate it if I was Frank.
