Scandal! Norwegian keeper reduced goal size before matches

Viking's home games begin with a special ceremony. Right before the starting whistle, when the sliding gate has already been checked by the linemen, Patrik Gunnarsson wraps his arms around and moves the bar slightly

This resulted in a 15-20 cm smaller net, the Alfenposten calculated.

When the goalkeeper was directly accused of cheating, he said that it was just a ritual and tradition - there was no intention to reduce the goal area: "It makes me feel comfortable. It's not more than that. Some goalkeepers like to bounce on the crossbar"

Before the second half, Gunnarsson repeats the ritual. Patrick is sure that it doesn't affect anything - and the referees never said anything either.

And the keeper has also noticed that in some cities the goalposts are buried in the ground and kicking them makes no sense. Maybe that's why there is a requirement in the European Cups that the goalposts must be fixed
