The Yellow Fever Goalkeepers Union

Worst thing is i sat in the changing rooms for the rest of the game and then had to wait about an hour after to get taken to A & E. I toughed it out though.

gutted mate

Bugger buffy. Hope your back out keeping as soon as possible.

Cheers for the support lads. It is highly unlikely i will be back out on the field this season, i'd say even nationals are out of the question at the moment.

Still i know things could be far worse.

Sorry to hear Buffy. All the best for your rehabilitation.

You could play for Brooklyn Northern United now.

Hope you f**ked him up too

Hardly mate. It was one of those challenges where only one comes of worse for wear.

Still, i did prevent the goal.

Gutted for ya man. I know what you're going through. I'm just out of a cast now from my one, my recovery has been a lot quicker than what doctors initially said to me, so don't take what they say straight away as gospel!

Thanks. I try not to listen to what they say anyway because some of it includes career ending damage which is something i dont want to consider one bit.

Just returned from the hospital, mixed news really.

Right now there is no need to operate and all they had to do is reinforce the cast but that means that i am in a full leg cast for about 6-8 weeks which is gutting as it is incredibly heavy and hard to move which means unless it is necessary i am pretty much stuck on the couch for up to 2 months!!

Still require a weekly xray to see whether or not my condition has worsened and ultimately i do need the operation. But right now that seems to be last resort.

Yet another example of goalkeepers being completely undervalued by their team.

Hello all fellow goalkeepers. I dont trawl this site too often, but happened to come across this topic.

yeah some cool keepr tops would be awesome, of course at reasonable prices........

Nothing is at a reasonable price these days prof.

hmmmm pink not my style at all, i have to agree some of the tops out there at the moment are very average.

its sad to say that nike's range is one of ther better out there.  Pretty plain.  But might get this next year 2ndBest2008-07-25 17:17:53

There are some intersesting shorts sleeve Sells shirts and shorts sets available im getting in. I agree that most of the rest is boring although its all thats available and believe me i should know.We do stock the Sells Training jerseys and All In One overalls plus the best undershorts ive seen.

Look forward to hearing those deals. Was stoked today to see you have the new Nike Total 90 Confidence gloves in. $129.99 is a reasonable price too.

I've seen those all in 1 overalls....I can't say I'm a fan....not at all

A teammate of mine has them. They keep him warm and clean. He looks like a janitor.

i reckon i would pass on the overalls.

I do hope your team has 2 goalkeepers...an outfield player with a pair of the overalls would really worry me...

That said, maybe they are going to be the new club scene rage...?

Trained in overalls once, not that comfortable imo and looked like a bit of a twat.

Overalls - Declan Edge, Melville United 2003. Piss. Took. Lots.

Oh hi bro.

Agreed. Paston was immense and he is much more assured in the air than Moss.

Can you please clarify your question? I assume you mean which is better out of catching a cross or making a save? I guess it depends on the type of person you are (relating to your prior determination of our value as human beings). Saves make everyone think "Hey bro, that was a really great fantastic thing you did. Can I high five you?". Catching a cross whilst under pressure from opposing players (arguably much more difficult than making a save from a shot) is not always appreciated by everyone but instills a sense of confidence and self worth that makes you feel really nice inside.

In MY opinion, I would prefer to be able to confidently challenge and catch all crosses than HAVE to do the spectacular.

As Plato once said, "Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity".

Honest, that was a secret he revealed one day and regretted it since. Every penaltytaker knew his secret and he became ordinary since. Top one day and average the next at PK.

What. The. Hell. Was. Gomes. Doing! Hahahahahahahaaaaa. Masty2008-10-20 14:26:33

Every goal keeper seems to be brilliant before they go to Spurs. Happened to Robinson and now to Gomes..I heard more than once that Gomes was arguably best keeper in the world. I don't think he's automatically become rubbish, its just that its a lot more obvious when a keeper stuffs up than when an outfielder does, and he wouldn't be the only Spurs player to be screwing up right now, basically.

I had a kick around today and I used some rubber gardening gloves as goalie gloves and I must say they were the best set of gloves I've ever played in! I'm not sure how they'll do when its wet but can't be beat in the dry.

How's the leg cuz?

Gomes was in goal. Harry facebooked me to see if I could play but I don't think Bob would've been happy...

Playing my second week in goal this weekend for our team in London...pressed into service a couple of weeks ago and found it relatively enjoyable.  Should be interesting, cup game tomorrow so always the possibvility of pens.

Guess it didn't go too well JD?

No actually went pretty well, kept a clean sheet and we're through to the third round.  Great over here, every team plays in a league and two cups competitions (from 1st teams right down to 9th and vest).  Managed to make a few decent saves as well as a one - on -one  so looks like I've been handed the gloves for  the season!  Main issue, it is absolutely freezing back there!  Need a new jersey or something to keep me warm (it was about 5 degrees)

Rather have heaps to do.  hence why i play for Wgtn Utd
