Bazzas right boot Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 What has happened to the auld fashioned " tae bash when shooting? I once played a five a side game where I said I would toe bash every shot. scored about 6 out of our 12 or so goals. you hit the target nearly every time. A toe bash with your weaker foot is also effective. IMO too many players when shooting just don't hit it, too many try to get back on their stronger foot and then the chance is gone- answer- TAE BASH it. A under used weapon in todays game of technique and strategy or is it like child labour ( in the UK at least), good that its gone and should never return?

kila Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I love a good toe punt when playing. If I don't know where it's going to go, the keeper will be equally confused! Growing up, toe punting seemed to be considered cheap shot where as the side of your foot was considered deliberate and tasteful. I don't care though, toe punting is good for taking it early when un-compose and should be encouraged. Modern balls make toe punts even more unpredictable - embrace the element of luck.

jamboscott Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Romario made a career out of toe bashing. Maybe more of a toe poke man. I think he's still Brazil national side top scorer. But get it right it's a taegay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when players struggle to do anything with their weaker foot, just tae bash it if it lands on your wrong foot? A tae bash will hit the target 99/100. Any tae bash within 25 yards is causing trouble. If not, you'll skelp and opponent and take him down! win- win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nowadays I think it's more acceptable with the flight on the ball, a tae punt from 25 yards and it could end up a screamer. Remember Ronaldinho's tae punt against Chelsea for Barca in the CL? maybe it's a Scottish thing. We were always told hit it wi the laces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that , I think we have found out why our game hasn't developed. The decline in our game is in correlation to the decline of the use in Scotland of the toe bash due to bad publicity. Other nations embrace it. Time to open up a toe bash academy. proof Bars show decline of our European standing the past 30 years Arrow shows the decline of the toe bash. Coincidence?

Shaggy2 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Toe poke is so very middle England. For me, it's a tae bash at goal or tae punt if it's a goal kick or a strike requiring distance more than accuracy. Totally agree with OP, bring it back!
