I am a goalkeeper myself, and many people say being a goalkeeper is just leaving yourself open to abuse for making howlers that could potentially cost your team the game, a bit like these.......







Or these....




Granted being a goalkeeper can be a tough job at times, but it can come with glory too, when your the reason your team is still in the game or a penalty shootout glory, I have once been in a penalty shootout and I lost so no such glory for me, here are a few reasons why I like being a Keeper..........







All in I enjoy being a Goalkeeper, the last line of defence, you get to be a bit crazy and charge at peoples feet, most of time they jump out of the way some of the times you get hurt! Lol

I enjoy playing a bit of outfield football at times but only when we're playing for fun with a bunch of my mates, I don't really have a particular position, I just run about like an idiot! Lol

Anyway whats your favourite position and why? (And yes I'm talking about football for those of you thinking from the gutter.........You know who you are! Lol)

I am pretty versatile but I usually play as a fullback, usually left FB. I have a style which is quite hard to define as I am a right footed player. When attack I never go all the way to the flag, I usually convert to more of a central midfielder when the team is in attack.

This is a little preview of me

I've always been an attacking center midfielder! I love to create plays, whether playing the ball through to my forwards or having a go from the 18! Even in my 20+ years of playing, I still need to learn how to defend better.... I'd like to think that I work box-to-box, but I get caught up waiting to get the ball and attack!

I am a right wing, but at 35 it is becoming a demanding position! Especially since the guys I play are usually about 20 years old. I sneak up top sometimes when our better fowards take a break, too

I am a goalkeeper but when I was younger I often played in the central midfield as well

Due to my busy scheduled I hardly play any football these days, but when I used to play I usually played as goalkeeper or sometime center back, I always found goalkeeping the most funniest position, as all 20 players run for the ball but both goalkeepers (like boos)just wait & automatically it comes to you

I mostly played as a keeper in all the sports (that contain keeping position) which I have played

I love playing as a CAM and sometimes as a CDM if my team's lacking defenders.

But my main good qualities as a player is the ability to create goal scoring opportunities! I love controlling the game. I am very instinctive and always play out my options in my head before receiving the ball. Creativity, I certainly don't lack either!

To give you an idea, my play style is sort of like Iniesta's. I am not a fast player but my feet are quick and my vision/creativity is one of my best qualities!

I'm a right back and a right midfielder. Never really had to play the traditional winger role however. Usually when I play midfield, tactically I've always been allowed to interchange with other midfielders and creep into the middle from time to time. Only time that I do play as an all-out winger are at pick-up games since I really don't have a connection with any of my teammates

I usually play as a CDM for my team. I love staying back and fighting for the ball and being involved in the game. When I was around 8 or 9 I was always played as a striker because of my height, I was OK as a striker but I like playing in the midfield a lot more.
I still do a get a goal here and there from maybe set pieces and an odd shot from outside the penalty area, but I love playing where I do

I found this video of me showcasing my skills if anyone's interested

I myself find my style to be that of an attacking midfield. I compare my play (not skill level) to that of cristiano ronaldo, or ballack, who makes plays and passes the ball, but is quick on the ball and has an eye for goal if given the opportunity. I'm left footed, which can be an advantage when fooling the goalkeeper because most people are right footed, but a disadvantage, because playing the left side of the field means the defenders right foot is lined up to my left

I'm a defender, I love it so bad

I usually play RW or LW and in a very traditional winger role. It is maybe an odd position for me since I am tall (6'3") but I was placed there at a young age because of my stamina and ability to put a good ball in. In college (Division 3) I played some winger but the manager wanted to convert me to striker because of my height. I can play fullback if necessary and I like to get a foot in. I can also play CM but my natural position is on the wings

I usually play as a defender. Love stopping good runs and intercepting crucial passes. With 1. 75m I'm not that big so that makes it even more fun. Sometimes I play CM because I can pick out runs pretty good and serve them with a decent through ball. I try to think outside of the box and be spontaneus (which usually only works if I play with my friends, because they are prepared for some unexpected passes). Once or twice I'm forced to play striker (when I started playing football that was my position, because I was small and agile and was always in position to leech off of mistakes) but my finishing isn't the best and I much rather put someone else in a goal scoring position then wasting it myself

I am personally a defender, this is due to my size and strength.
But I still love going forward and attacking.
If I was not a defender I would definitely try my best as a striker
