Re: Aussies Abroad Report Card

Sheep stations and all, but I found this amusing for the keepers - how could they give Jones a 'D' and Langerak a 'B' - langerak is 2nd choice by default, with Bundeslige clubs not having anywhere the depth of permier league clubs, whereas Jones is ahead of three young keepers of which two are much ...

Re: Aussies Abroad Report Card

German Bundesliga Mitch Langerak – Borussia Dortmund – B- Langerak was signed to be Dortmund's back-up keeper and hopefully develop into their future number one and so far it's been a smooth transition for the youngster. He got some gametime in pre-season but hasn't seen a minute of competitive act ...

Re: AFC u19 final Aus v PRK

Would love to see him try that out on tim cahill. Having said all that, he does look to have a good eye for goal, and nice touch and movement around the box.

Re: AFC u19 final Aus v PRK

Bulut needs to learn some humility and acknowledge team mates that set him up - but he was very good in first half. For me Oar was standout for us. I was disappointed with Leckie - Oar made things happen but Leckies forays didn't amount to much in this game IMO. Gwan from Korea with three goals ...

Re: 14th in the world

Not often I agree with Geoff Roach but our greedy socceroos did their usual pre-world cup strike threat. In addition to match payments they also get 25 % of merchandise sales and FFSA appearance money. I agree players should be rewarded for getting Australia there but the average salary from club ...

Re: Community Shield

can't believe Kuszczak sitting on the bench for Foster - Fergie has not a clue when it comes to his keepers. Has made many mistakes over the years by way of his selections.

Re: Hearts keeper Gordon voted SPL Player of the Year

I guess i resurrected this thread knowing this would happen overnight :lol: What a great keeper nah - he's been playing like shite for a while now - he should have left in the summer - he's on a base of £40k a week - he's become lazy and complacent, just like Dudek did - could have been anything ...

Re: Hearts keeper Gordon voted SPL Player of the Year

Why is this in the SA forum? i think the question should be, why are people talking on this topic over two years after it last finished up - In any event I believe that Boruc did [prove me right in saying that he was one of the world's best keepers - only have to view his champions league ...

buffon is ok - but typical of Italian players is over-rated. had 1 or 2 great years then had a shocking season last year, and injured most of this year. of all the italian keepers I really liked perruzi and abbiati - abbiati definitely under-rated. perhaps there is a lack of quality young keepers ...

true...dont know about most popular and best player though, although its obvious you respect artur quite a bit. players like nakamura, lennon, keane, petrov etc could vie for either one or both of either best or most popular the celtic fans sing about him all the time during games, trust me, they ...

he was very outspoken bout the coaches, im surprised it didnt cost him his spot in the team for comments like that you're not going to drop the clubs most popular and best player because of his comments. artur is very dry in terms of his sense of humor, strachan knows this. the only comment he made ...

i think the unfortunate thing for Celtic supporters was that they didn't know just how good Artur actually was/is before he came to Celtic, and that was pressure that strachan faced and that marshall at the time was a safe bet etc... if marshall didn't work out then he could give boruc a run no ...

best keeper in the spl! played great all season, massive future ahead of him. he will lead us well into europe next season ummm...no. Artur Boruc is best keeper in SPL by a mile - will move to EPL shortly and be the best there within 3 years. World class. Of course strachan's decision to leave him ...
