The SECRET Goalkeepers want to Keep… 

He’s magic you know. Super Ben Wilson in goal

So 2 things we learnt…. 1- Ben Wilson is a lovely man 2- He’s magic you know 🪄

Hi Ben, I'm an "older" goalkeeper and I've never used vasaline on my gloves in all my years of playing......until this so called summer we had. I was curious at training one evening while it hammered down and I've always thought it was a myth but tried it non the less. I was shocked by how well this worked. I read Shay doing it 25 years ago but never believed it. My understanding is that latex is a porous material. So when it rains or gets wet it allows water to eventually flood the latex and you end up losing grip. Hence why we all carry glove towels to keep our gloves clean and dry. What vasaline does is put a waterproof layer into the latex thus stopping the water flooding the glove. It allows the latex to do the job its designed to do in the wet. I wouldn't necessarily use this method in good conditions but have used it a few times now in poor and it 100% works. Spread the word it really works!!! ps great point about learning to have the right technique first. Vasaline aids our ability to catch but it isn't a magic substance. If you have poor technique you will struggle regardless of vasaline.

Good to see Wilson on here! PUSB

He’s magic, you knowwww, super Ben Wilson in goallll. My goat 🐐

What a sound guy Wilson is, great podcast from you all again

I've said for so long you need to get this man on! "He's Magic you know"

I was at the luton v cov play off final. Went with my dad n his mates , all life long luton fans. Not a single dry eue around me after that shootout, even now, still just feels like fifa irl like I’ve done a career mode🤣 best day of my life. He was quality too tbf, made some big saves tbf

Michael Oliver, unsurprisingly, was wrong. The FA has the rule clearly stated on their website: at the moment the kick is taken, the goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot on, in line with, or behind the goal line. Absolutely nothing requires him to stand on the line, he could stand all the way at the back or off to the side if he chose to.

Meet Ben back in Jan and what amazing bloke he is

I go into penalty kicks wanting to see a save because it is the hardest thing to do in sports. You can only cover maybe 8 or 9 feet of 192 sq ft of space. The kicker is kicking around 70mph from 36 feet away. There’s a good 10-20 square feet you can’t get to in each side no matter what even going the right direction and the ‘keeper have to stop 9 inch diameter ball. Absolutely nuts!

HEEEEESSSS MAGIC YOU KNOWWWWW SUPER BEN WILSON IN GOAL!!! clean sheet monday ben!!!

My OCD mind thinking about that glass of water slipping and breaking

6:38 I have a theory….. Gloves have air pockets or even tiny holes in the spongy surface. When saving or catching the ball the pressure applied forces air out of these ‘pockets’ or surface holes, then when the pressure is released the air refills; with Vasailine it forms an airtight seal therefore when released it makes all of them hundreds of tiny little suction cups 6:38 if I am right can someone confirm please???

Not going to spotify mate. You just killed this thing you lucked into.

Cracking show

3:31 Ben is right, that is the rule. Dunno how a ref gets that wrong.

Play Up Sky Blues!

Super Ben super ben

Super Ben Wilson in goal come on you sky blues

Fozcast.. Thought this was a podcast about Forza the racing game .

Get Dean Henderson on 🙂

Shay given was doing it in the 90s

Dropping Ben Wilson this season has been a calamitous mistake. He's been fantastic for Coventry City.

Most goalies don’t catch shots anymore they just seem to parry them

With the money in football, i am surprised they don't buy new footys for every training session for the keepers.

🎶 He’s magic 🪄

WILSONN

They wanna see goals unless they can involve VAR and remove goals

Who's the player

HES MAGIC YOU KNOWWWW PUSB

Interesting that the ball is so new and that there is nothing that is done to wear it in. In the MLB (Pro Baseball in the US) they intentionally wear the "new" balls up just a little bit before they are used in games so that they are grippier for the pitchers. I think allowing the kit men or someone from the league to prepare match balls in a specified manner that wore them in just enough to have that feel consistent with training would be a good addition to the game.

He’s manic

Penalty psychologist 😂? Goalkeepers must be the dumbest players on the pitch if they haven't figured out which way to dive yet. If you actually studied a penalty taker and you were quick enough you can dive in the right direction 90% of the time. Saving it is another thing altogether but if you guys pay me enough I'll tell you.
