I thought that Boro's keeper yesterday was one of the poorest I've seen in a long time. In fact, I can only remember one that stood out as being worse - Luton in the dark days of the Parkin or Bodges era. He was absolutely diabolical, looking like giving us a goal every time the ball went near their area, culminating in him getting sent off with us leading 2-1. His replacement was miles better, and we ended up losing 3-2. I seriously think that him being sent off did them a favour (although it didn't help that it was probably the worst Barnsley side in my lifetime, absolute bunch of spineless wasters).
Agreed. Letting one in directly from a corner will forever be on his highlights reel now. Could have been sent off. Yet on iFollow they said he was probably man of the match despite letting in two. Boo to Bailey and Goodison! (Joke by the way, you set of barsteds yeh)
Oh yeah. I remember watching the highlights with my Russian friend. I was completely unable to convince him that no matter what it looked like, that it was not very likely that the Wigan keeper had taken a bung. I'm not sure who I was trying to convince more, him or myself.
I'm just trying to find youtube clip of a game Everton won to stay up years ago where the opposition keeper handed it to them. I thought it was against Wimbledon but that's not the one.
It was Wimbledon. Hans Segers was in goal. 9.40 is his clanger. Can't for the life of me think why he was accused of throwing the game.....
Hans segers. He was taking bungs that lad that day, it couldnt have been more obvious if he just booted it in to his own net. Im still convinced to this day he let that famous Dalian Atkinson dribble goal for Villa against Wimbledon, arches his back and doesent extend his arm hardly. Him and Grobelaar, proper at it.
Was it a scunthorpe keeper, couple of seasons back that stood and let one pass into the net? Blinded by sun.
Anyone remember a young Vito Mannone playing a couple of games for us on loan from Arsenal. I recall him having a nightmare in one game and not appearing again. I also remember thinking he'd never make it as a top flight keeper - turned out alright for him though!
To be fair it did have a slight deflection Actualy the fulham keeper when we won 3-0 last season had a mare as well - worse that the Boro one yesterday - but the Wigan one takes some beating - or rather he didnt
This one goes back to the 60s. A goalie called Colin Treherne playing for Lincoln City. I am sure he was signed for rom a circus he could not catch a ball without juggling it. Fortuneatly for him we were so bad in those days we did not fully exploit his lack of ability or agility.
Roy Ironside v Rochdale. Caught on tv. Was o’reight on the whole, was dear Roy. Edit . Forgot opposition bit.
I was at that game behind the goal. Weirdest atmosphere ever when Wimbledon's second went in - ground fell silent for about 20 seconds then there was a massive wall of noise as they tried to encourage their team back. Goals were suspect to say the least
