Why do we bother with corners? Just kick it out for a goal kick.

We won 3-0 and you moan about corners. We have not got a prso or a jelavic in the box so why into the box? Not like kiernan or wilson can head is it.

If you look at the way we play Gordy its all about keep ball so what's the point in mindlesslley punting it into the box to lose it so teams can counter attack against us.

If we are 1-0 down to Celtic with a minute to play and get a corner would you be happy with us not putting it straight in the box?

Okay Biffo i'll answer your question with another question. If we were 2-0 up against east stirling, motherwell, annan (which we have been) would you punt it into the box to then cheaply give it away so teams can hit us on the counter because if you notice that's all teams want to do against us because we play so high up the pitch.

Now as for your statement on celtic being 1-0 up in the 90th minute against us (which has never happened under Warburtons style of play) but my 3 scenarios have what would you do? Swing it into the box and let them counter and put pressure on a dodgy defence? Or keep the ball and string some passes together. Let the opposition come out from their 6 yard box so we can put someone through on goal 1v1?

Yes - I agree with first post, corners are a waste of time .

Yes of course we won 3-0 maybe it should have been 13?

It was against East Stirlingshire etc

Clearly it must be the concern of "losing" procession after scoring?

A corner is one removed from a penalty or free kick around the box and getting the ball into "danger" zone to score.

We do not seem to want to score "dirty" goals rather "pass" the ball into the net? Why do we need a "dirty" goal scorer?

Interesting to see goal statistics from corners particularly from lower weaker sides.

Did we not lose lots of goals from when sides swung in corners against us last season?

Interesting to see whether Barton follows "orders" or take decisions on the pitch?
