The majority, eh? But not all.
So for those minority of kicks where the ball doesn't go exactly where he wants it, any keeper who reads the intended direction has a reasonable chance of making a save. A fuck of a lot better than a keeper who doesn't read them anyway.
Therefore, if a keeper reads the direction of a penalty kick he is more likely to save it than one which he doesn't predict.
Christ, Chief, surely you're not really as thick as this thread is making you look? Why don't you concede this point?
