Fisting

[JPaul]

Back in the day the goalkeeper would catch the ball, or try to, most of the time. Now it's all "fist it away".

I can understand when it's a bit moist, however surely when it's really dry fisting is a dangerous option.

It just makes good sense to be adaptable, seems to me.

Goaltenders have to have all-round ability to deny penetration to those who would trespass with abandon.

Of course, the open-hand/fist issue is just another iteration of the length vs. girth question...perhaps a distaff member would render an opinion?

Sounds like football argot is kind of flexo-bendy, too.

Goes with the fisting thing, I suppose.
