Ben Foster iPod cheating or not?

Post by Beeblebrox »

Apparently Man U's goalkeeping coach showed Ben Foster penalty kicks from Spurs players on an iPod to help him predict their kicks.
Personally I don't have a problem with this use of technology; what do others think?

Not much different than the coach or keeper having notes on the penalty takers having previously watched them; I think it was just an interesting and more modern alternative.

I agree, plus there's never any guarantee that the penalty taker wont vary from what he's done previously, so in my opinion not an unfair advantage to the keeper

I am no fan of Man U and cannot see any problem with this, it was more of a psycological boost imo. Perhaps the complainers were Spurs fans. Is their end of season video out yet, or are they waiting for the relegation battle!!!!
