What is worse than being the worst team in the world?
For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper.

He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly.

The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence.

After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates.

He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills.

He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box.

He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision.

[ Welcome Dave ]

[ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ]

A female voice read out the messages.

This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

My Goalkeeping System

The referee was quite confused, so he had to go to the VAR monitor and see things for himself so that he would be able to make a good decision.


"Well, it was pretty close, I mean it clearly looks like it happened in there," Jim said.


After seeing things clearly for himself, the referee made his way to the pitch to make his decision.


It was almost inside the box, but Mateo was just outside the box when he was brought down and fell into the box and so the referee decided that it was not a penalty kick, it was a free kick just at the edge of the box.


"That's the right call, most referees wouldn't even bother to check that and just decide that it was a penalty kick which it clearly looks like so many people wouldn't complain unless they watched the replay carefully, I'm glad he checked well and made the right decision."
