Is that not the golden rule for goalkeepers? Don't be... going for a walk and a drink during the play?
Well, if it seemed unnecessary to even include it in the goalies' manual, it needs to be put in right away now. The Chinese Super League threw up the best worst goal of all time at the weekend when poor Sui Weijie got punished for innocently quenching his thirst. His side, Chongqing Lifan, were leading 1-0 with seven minutes to go against Liaoning when the opposition were awarded a free kick. But the set piece was taken so quickly that the camera didn't even catch it live, we just saw the player wheeling away in celebration before a puzzled look on Sui Weijie's face as he realised the officials were awarding the goal, with him standing at the side of his net going to town on a bottle of water. The club have since fined the goalkeeper and, for some reason, spared the defenders who were equally as sloppy in this comical goal. “I made a terrible mistake in Sunday’s game and let go a full three points,” Sui said. “I won’t repeat the same mistake and will never lose concentration.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=67&v=Gnp3bWxkx58Explore more on these topics:
