    I'm exactly the opposite. Sod the keeper, hit the corner.

    Raya would have saved mine last night if he had gone the right way

    That's it though, do that and you have 50/50 chance of the keeper saving it or getting close.

    I always gave a sly look at one corner (that I wanted the keeper to notice) and then went the other way.

    Just the one Mrs Wembley?

    Such a great cast - been rewatching Porridge recently. Sam Kelly really was a quite brilliant comic actor

    I always belted it in the bottom corner and if the keeper even moved I was surprised. If he went the right way he wouldn't get anywhere near it.

    But most of these keepers were idiots who would need a running jump to reach the post

    I only sent the keeper the wrong way once, in a five a side competition, and that is only because he saw me take a penalty in the previous game and I knew which way he was going to dive.

    Porridge is brilliant. Never really appreciated how good it was when I was younger.

    Superb writing and Ronnie Barker is magnificent.

    As is Fulton Mackay. Going Straight was brilliant apart from the first episode which is a two hander between and him and Barker on the train after Fletch is released and Mackay forced into retirement. Maybe not as funny but beautifully written and acted

    I often sing the theme song in my bath. Not to EVERYONE'S taste perhaps but there it is.
