Due to an editorial oversight, a misprint occurred in last week’s edition
of the Observer. In a sports news
item entitled Froghill Footballers To
Tackle Burning Oil Rig, we referred to Kieran Duffle, centre forward for Cheetingham
Athletic, as “firing off a spectacular shit which ricocheted off the crossbar
and hit the keeper on the back of the neck”. That should, of course, have read
“a spectacular shot”. We apologise to Kieran and the team for any offence
caused.
I have actually done that (many years ago, of course)...shot at goal from the edge of the penalty area...watched the ball go over the goalkeeper's head...hit the crossbar...rebound onto the back of the goalkeeper's head...and gone in...true story. And the celebration for me and quite a few others was to collapse on the ground laughing, while the goalkeeper wondered what on earth had happened.
