SULLIVAN

[Al4475]

Bah, rubbish - beaten from 25 yards, threw the ball at their players' head and distribution was shite! Fcukin rubbish!

Let' all slag him off, blame him for everything and comment on how great God played!

 

This is tounge-in-cheek and is meant to be taken as so!

All go for the huge winner-takes-all (or draw in our case) game at Brentford.

Can you imagine the $hit that Gary Woods would be receiving for those faults, we'd be on page 4 by now

I did the guided tour today before the game and Woods is crap....And I will tell you the reason why.
Sullivan had 2 pair of boots under his peg in the changing room. Maxed had 3 pairs but Woods only had 1 pair. How shocking is that 
So the more boots you have the better you are 
As for Copps he had 3 pairs of size 4 Boys.

[Standanista]

Sulli was his usual self: bad distribution, comfortable in most other departments (I say most: his cameo centre-forward role came to naught).  I wondered whether the "chucking it at the back of the opponent's shirt" move was a deliberate attempt to win a goal kick, or whether he'd been dazzled by the sun off the pink fabric, or both.  Tommy Spurr (I think) was open for the quick throw so it made sense to try.  Good idea, poor execution (c.f. "bad distribution" above).

i was surprised we only had 2 in the wall not sure whether or not 4/5 would have made a difference but seemed unusual

The goal was a rocket, I don't think any goalkeeper or wall on the planet would have stopped that!

Agreed.

As it was set up agreed
But if we had had 4/5 there would have been the option of closing down the ball and perhaps putting him off
As it was it was shooting practice

[The Red Baron]

Keeper had no chance. The only way of stopping it was for someone to charge the kick, but with only 2-3 in the wall they weren't going to do that. Clearly they were more worried about the ball being played into the box for a header. One of those things.

[Rios]

There should definitely have been more in the wall and it was obvious Sully didn't think they had a player capable of scoring that.  In the second half they had a similar free kick and we had four in it, including Jones so lessons were belatedly learned.

Sometimes you concede a worldy... but if that's the only shot on target they have and we cant score for the rest of the 90+ minutes then it makes no sense blaming the goalie regardless of who he is.

[RobTheRover]

I was right behind it. It went in like a Tomahawk getting fired off an aircraft carrier in Top Gun. Whoooshter

[Al4475]

I wasn't blaming Sulli - as a fully fledged member of the Golkeepers Union I won't blame Goalkeepers full stop - LOL! I was merely poking a bit of fun at the never ending Gary Woods is shite posts, when our other top goalkeeper had a game of similar standards today. Maybe it's less about the keepers than we think!

Woods and Sulli are both capable keepers and have done well for the most part - Sulli has been incredible over the years and Woods could be too!

As I said in the opening gambit:

This is tounge-in-cheek and is meant to be taken as so!

All go for the huge winner-takes-all (or draw in our case) game at Brentford.

The way the Free kick takers were set up it was obvious that they were going to have a shot, there was no way it was going to be put into box

So because it was obvious he was going to shoot, the keeper should have saved it? 

You reds

[donnievic]

I have had a few says on woods goalkeeping and like OP said if woods had been in the goals we would have had a few pages on his game.AS for the free kick I thought we had 2 in the wall plus I think furman looking to charge as well.think it was also further out than the one in the 2nd half they had which we had more in the wall which hit Jones.SEe nothing has been said of SUllivans positioning on the free kicks either stood off centre for the one in the 2nd half just like woods does and gets slaughtered for it.

Did I say that? read the post I quoted, I was replying to the comment made by Red Baron suggesting that they were worried about the ball being played into the box!



Still coming with the smarmy one liners eh?

They call me one line Rufus.

It`s not what I call you

The scariest thing I find is that I haven't seen one opposition goalkeeper this season that I wouldn't take over Woods or Sulli.

It's been a problem for a few seasons now and it really concerns me that it's a problem that hasn't been addressed.

I thought Scunny's keeper was pretty bad.

[donnievic]

Maybe it's our players making the opposition keeper looks better like poor shooting or crossers that are to close to the keeper

[Al4475]

Surely not Donnievic?

It's cos our keepers are simply crap ain't it?  According to at least 75% of our supporters would have us believe!

Sorry all ... I gotta stop this now!

Agreed, he was poor and he made a right howler last week as well.
