He was told that that was just not the way things were done at NBN level. Young Ireland was fuming but my understanding is that a compromise was reached between coaching staff and the young shot stopper. Apparently Ireland has agreed to do his best in general goal keeping duties within general play but has flatly refused to take any more goal kicks. Due to his evident talent between the sticks, the Jaffa’s coaching staff has agreed to allow any burly defender to take goal kicks to ensure the ball is well and truly hoofed up the pitch. I hope this clears up any confusion about Jaffa’s and their goal kicks.
