Building a stadium, and a block of flats in the way? No worries just do what they did here in Austria and build the Favoritner AC Stadion under them...

The walk of shame back from missing a penalty has to be one of the worst feelings for a footballer, particularly if said penalty is one of the most poorly executed panenkas you’re ever likely to see. Luckily for Antonie Mille his dreadful failure did not cost his Chateauroux side against Les Herbiers in their Coupe de France shootout

 

He's decent but he's no Yann Kermorgant

WHERE DOES HEADING COME FROM?
Whatever your views are regarding heading a ball, heading is a skill that has been part of the game since it’s very earliest days. Football rules originally had a fair catch rule which allowed players to catch the ball in the air then place it and take a free kick. As handling the ball was erased fully from the game during the late 1860’s & into the very early 1870’s, players faced with a ball in the air coming at them started to play the ball more with their heads. Eventually the skill developed to passing with the head and then scoring headed goals. All legal of course.
The very first accounts of heading we have in football come from a Sheffield vs Derby game in January 1871. The report stated - ‘….and catching being disallowed, the players naturally " headed.'
A year later during a London vs Sheffield match at The Oval, the reporter noted the following:
‘The first to show conspicuously was G. H. Sampson who played the ball with his head, which caused some amusement. This was the kind of play which the Sheffield team often indulged during the contest, the Londoners preferring to use the foot’.
Other reports of the same game mention - 'ingenious method of heading' & 'Sampson headed the ball judiciously. This style of play was evidently new to the Cockneys and caused a hearty laugh.'
The first headed passing attempt comes from a November 1872 Derby vs Sheffield match - ‘In a few moments after-wards Sampson made a good attempt to head the ball through’
Heading seems to have crept into the Scottish game in late 1872 since there are accounts of heading during the first formal international between Scotland & England by the Scott’s. Scottish players may have started to head the ball separately to its development in Sheffield but there are nearly 2 years between Sheffield’s first report of heading and the first international. People could move around on trains between Sheffield & Glasgow, so I am going to leave it to the reader to decide if the Scott’s copied Sheffield footballers or not. We may never know.
Finally, our earliest account of a headed goal was T Heeley for Perseverance vs Oxford at the Ecclesall Road ground in 1873.
Heading, yet another Sheffield football invention.

This is the 1902 F.A. Cup final-replay between Sheffield United and Southampton, at Crystal Palace. It was the last final to be played with Victorian pitch markings...The six-yard-box, we know today, consisted of two semi-circles. Penalties were taken from anywhere along the solid white 12-yard line. The remaining players had to stand behind the intermittent white line as the kick was taken.
Here is Billy Barnes scoring the winning goal, in a 2-1 victory, for Sheffield United (Att: 33,068).

The FA do discourage heading until about 12 - and coaches aren't allowed to teach heading until then, so there is movement towards it - but I think it will be a long time before it gets more traction. 

 

I play 6/7 a-side on an astro pitch. Ball can't go over head high. It doesn't feel odd at all and you don't really miss heading the ball.

 

That said, the Euros was a struggle at times watching teams try and break down defensive structures, and of the goals that were scored, a lot seemed to come from high balls across the box headed back in - which seems more of a tactic than in the past and a good mix up from just trying to pass through. If you took heading out the game, it could swing things too far towards the defensive side.

What an incredible place to play football, infront of this World War 2 bunker in St Pauli, Germany.
The Feldstraße Bunker, now known as “the media bunker”, has been restored and now houses a luxury hotel, nightclubs and concert venues.

I remember going to Brum in the 60s and spent most of the match halfway up a floodlight stanchion, it was baking hot and someone was passing round a bottle of 'drink' below me and it turned out to be piss.
 
Now that's what you call football spectating.
