Negative Cut Goalkeeper Gloves, What Are They?

What are Negative Cut Goalkeeper Gloves?

I have to admit I am a BIG FAN of negative cut goalkeeper gloves even though they might not be most goalkeeper's number one choice of gloves.

I am not sure if it's my personal hand shape but they feel so much more comfortable than other gloves. At the moment most goalkeepers tend to go for the roll finger goalie gloves (which is OK if these feel good on you) but I do not like the feel, and also the roll finger goalkeeper gloves always seem tight on my fingers

Negative Cut Goalkeeper Gloves, What Are They?

Maybe it's because I have short stumpy (fat!) fingers that's why the negative cut gloves are better for me, but heh we are all different.

Believe it or not but most people do not know what negative cut goalkeeper gloves are?

So what are they?

Basically the stitching of the glove is INSIDE rather than the conventional outside of the goalkeeper glove. By putting this stitching inside means there is more palm on show which equates to more contact space for the ball.

So thirty years being around goalkeeper gloves, twenty of which I have been a professional goalkeeper and professional goalkeeper coach, so I know my business when it comes to picking the correct goalkeeper gloves.

I remember wearing the negative cut goalkeeper gloves when they first came out and even back then I thought they were a great feeling glove. So if you have short stumpy fingers like me, maybe try these goalkeeper gloves out.

So how do you know if the negative cut goalkeeper glove is for you?

Simple: Try them on!

Just because most keepers wear roll finger today does not mean negative cuts are a bad glove because this is simply not true. Neg cuts are just as good as any other glove on the market.

And if you are like me and have wide thick hands, these gloves will probably be a lot better than the tighter fitting roll finger goalkeeper gloves anyway!

So go and try a pair or two on.

What negative cut goalkeeper gloves would I recommend?

Too be honest this is where I would love to say, 'heh we have a cracking pair in the just4keepers glove range'... but we do not do this goalkeeper glove cut at the moment. However I am trying to persuade all the other coaches I work with to bring out our own negative cut range but up to now this is falling on deaf ears, as like the masses, they all prefer roll finger!

So going back to above, which negative cut would I recommend?

I have mentioned this is many articles, I actually think its wrong for ANYONE to recommend you a glove without seeing your hands first. Because everyone's hands are different, it's wrong and unfair to say a particular glove is correct for you.

Instead what I recommend you do is pick three or four glove companies that have been going for five years plus and see what negative cuts you like, go and try them on and go from there!

Why a company that's five years plus old?

Nothing against the newer companies, even though there are some poor keeper gloves out on the market now that new companies are developing, there are also some brilliant ones!

However by going with a company that is established at least you know the chances are you will get your money back if the gloves do not meet your standards and you want to return.

I hope this advice helped you on how to pick the best negative cut goalkeeper glove?

5 Reasons Behind the Deployment of a 4-5-1 System or Formation in A Soccer or Football Game

In the modern game of soccer or football recently, a formation or system 4-5-1 has enjoyed a much higher played ratio especially by smaller clubs or clubs or nations playing away. Here are five reasons why such a formation or system is employed.

A definition of the system is first needed. A 4-5-1 would refer to the deployment of one goalkeeper, four defenders, five midfielders and a striker. An example of a team making a success of the formation is the Greek National in European Football Championships 2004 where they emerge as champions with the deployment of such a system. And now for the reasons.

Flexibility - Football or soccer is a fast paced game where an attack can be turned into the counter attack by the opposition if possession is lost. Hence the deployment of a 4-5-1 system allows the flexibility in both attack and defense. In attack or possession of the ball, the left and right midfielders would operate as wingers to push up and join the lone striker. Furthermore of the three central midfielders, one or two can also push to join the attack while the remaining midfielder would drop back to assist the defense in case of a break or counter attack by the opposition. As for defense or without possession of the ball, a five midfield in theory would be able to pressure the opposition to win back the ball. Another example, the five man midfield would add more steel into midfield portion to win or retain possession to ease off pressure at the back. Defending a one goal Lead - In some matches, the game can be very close one where a single goal can decide the outcome. Hence some managers would like to employ 4-5-1 formation to defend the lead in the last ten to twenty minutes of the game. The flexibility of the system is already explained under point 1. The system would also enable the team to launch counter attack if needed when the opposition throws caution to wind for an equalizer. The other purpose is to pass the ball around to run down the clock and the best way to do so is to keep possession. Playing an Away Game - In the modern league games, a point from a game drawn especially if the game is away or against a strong opposition is crucial. The reason is simple as most home teams would go out to try their best to win at home with their supporters behind them acting as the 12th man. For example, in recent games like Liverpool verses Birmingham City or Manchester United verses Reading, both City and Reading employed a 4-5-1 system to stifle the midfield of Liverpool and United. The system would usually enable a team to come away with a point or avoid a mauling at hand of strong opposition. Such a point usually meant a victory for the smaller clubs. Playing against Stronger Opposition - As mentioned in point 3, playing against strong opposition at home, a 4-5-1 system would be employed for the same rationale of getting a point or avoiding a heavy defeat. Such a attitude towards game can be seen as a defeatist attitude, but survival in the top leagues around the world would mean huge revenue for clubs. An example is the English Premiership where millions can be lost if a team is relegated. Hence some teams would rather employ such a formation to ensure of a low scoring defeat or a draw game for a point while a more attacking one when facing opposition of similar status. Injuries - This is the least common reason why a 4-5-1 formation would be deployed. The reason is a very simple one. There are usually more defenders and midfielders than strikers in the club. Hence if a club has a striker injury situation, it may be more inclined to employ such a system than others. Furthermore deploying players in familiar positions would be having a much better effect than playing them in an untrained position.

Hence the above reasons should help to explain the rationale behind the employment of a 4-5-1 system or formation.

Famous British Authors - Ten Best-Loved

Which famous British authors made it to The Big Read? A survey conducted in 2003 by the BBC to reveal the UK's best-loved book? What novels are they famous for? And which of their books were in the Top 200 list?

There are a few things to consider, though, if you want to enjoy reading the novels written by the best-loved, famous British authors. First, determine where your interests lie. You may be interested in contemporary novelists, or perhaps you are more intrigued by classic writers? Works of English literature originating prior to World War II is considered by most to be classical in nature, whereas novels written during or after that war could be called contemporary fiction. An example of a classic writer would be Chaucer and Ernest Hemingway is a contemporary.

Another consideration might be which genres interest you most. Loosely defined these fall into ten categories: action-adventure, crime, detective, fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, science fiction, thriller or western. Depending on what you find entertaining and that which grabs your attention, this can be an important factor when contemplating reading novels by an author you are as yet unfamiliar with.

You also need to understand the universal themes associated with the writing of fictional work; they include Imagination, Identity, Conflict, Love, Humour, Belonging, Time, Faith and Place. Be aware that many novels revolve around one or more of these themes and that several themes can be the focus of just one book. One author should not be thought of as the quintessential romanticist, humourist, or even imaginative writer as each author often considers a combination of themes and complex ideas when creating a novel so consider exploring these concepts before deciding to 'pigeon-hole' specific writers with a particular theme or genre.

Here are ten randomly selected authors from the books nominated in The Big Read.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien - The winner was indubitably Lord of the Rings by this fantasy writer. Tolkien's The Hobbit also made the Top 100. Other works of Tolkien include The Silmarillion.
Terry Pratchett - Britain's comic fantasy author had fourteen of his titles in that list: Mort, Good Omens, Guards! Guards! Night Watch, The Colour of Magic, Small Gods, Reaper Man, Wyrd Sisters, Hogfather, Men At Arms, Thief of Time, The Fifth Elephant, The Truth and Witches Abroad.
Joanne K. Rowling - A fantasy writer of Harry Potter fame was another novelist with four titles making the grade: Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets and Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban.
Jacqueline Wilson - Another novelist not to be ignored, a writer of children's books; also with fourteen titles of distinction: The Story of Tracy Beaker, Double Act, Vicky Angel, Girls In Love, The Illustrated Mum, The Dare Game, Bad Girls, Lola Rose, Girls In Tears, Sleepovers, Secrets, Girls Out Late, Dustbin Baby and The Suitcase Kid. Wilson's novels are typically realistic stories about modern British children facing problems in their daily lives. In 2005 this writer was announced as the Children's Laureate.
Charlotte Bront - Three of the five Bront sisters became romance writers. Charlotte's Jane Eyre made the Top 21.
Emily Bront - Emily's Wuthering Heights also made the Top 21 but alas Anne's Agnes Grey missed the boat! For a family plagued with illness these sisters were remarkably successful.

Charles Dickens - These seven Dickens' masterpieces were given a 'thumbs up!' Great Expectations, David Copperfield, A Christmas Carol, A Tale Of Two Cities, Bleak House, The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist. Amongst other works he is remembered also for two of his other major contributions to literature: The Life and Adventures of Nicolas Nickleby and The Old Curiosity Shop. Besides Master Twist the likes of such characters as Ebenezer Scrooge, Fagin, Mrs. Gamp, Charles Darnay, Micawber, Abel Magwitch, Pecksniff, Miss Havisham and Wackford Squeers will doubtless live on forever through his books.
Lewis Carroll - Carroll's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, made it to the Top 100, inspired by a young girl named Alice Liddell, is among the books recommended. Other works from Carroll include Through The Looking-Glass and Jabberwocky.
Robert Louis Stevenson - With the exception of this Scotsman (and South African born J.R.R. Tolkien), all other novelists mentioned here were English. Stevenson's Treasure Island was naturally considered one the best-loved books written by a British author. His other famous books include Kidnapped, The Body Snatcher and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Jane Austen - Austen's Pride and Prejudice made it to the Top 21. Other significant romantic fiction novels written by Austen include Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park and Emma.

The writers spoken of here are only a few of the best-loved famous British authors but there are many more besides these.
