Goalkeepers Where have all the great British goalkeepers went? We used to have some crackers - Clemence, Shilton, Woods, Seaman, Southall, Bonner, Leighton, Goram to name just a few ... now we've got David James, Shay Given (who is good before anyone starts), Paul Robinson & Rab Douglas The premiership and SPL is full of average foreigners (Klos exscluded ) --- Surely we can have better or keepers just as good as Cudicini & Lehman, ffs, even American keepers are in nets for one of the UK's top sides. What's going on?
Re: Goalkeepers Alas, it is a sorry state of affairs Like you say, we have James, who's around 33......and....well, there's Chris Kirkland of Liverpool - but he's had more injuries than saved shots of late. It's a sign of the shite standard that he is like our second choice keeper when he hardly gets a game at Liverpool. Robinson has been poor of late, confidendce low what with Leeds plight etc. It all paints a sorry looking future for between the sticks
Who will be Englands number 1 at Euro 2004? Surely not James. We have Rab 'fucking drap the baw' Douglas. Total clown of a boy. Does none of the kids want to play in goals these days? I blame Beckham.
I used to play in goal for our school team, reflexes as quick as a cat I'm rueing the day I gave up the gloves for a career in IT As for England, I can't think of any good young keeper coming through the ranks...looks like it will be James. I quite like him, he's in great shape and is a good shot stopper. I know he makes mistakes, but we got no one else
Yes, but there all past it though. Seaman - far too old and slow - get a haircut and shave that tash you bent biker lookalike. Hislop - Shakie Shaka what a knacker. Walker - Dear me, dwarf with a He-Man haircut.
Yeah cant' take the piss out of him he still 2nd choice keeper made some mistakes as all keepers do. Not like ian Walker tho Good Greef. Thats just stupid goalkeeping
