It doesn't cost anything to just become a member on the forums etc, that money is for access to pre sale tickets and sh*t
Was gonna make Portland my second team but then I found out you have to pay $25 US a year to be a member... Made me realise how wicked Yellow Fever is!

It's basically a gropup of reserve players every team in the league has access to call up from in cases such as Portland's.
I think he will, the other keepers Perkins, who was probably going to be first keeper choice and then Brown are both injured atm I think, and then theres the MLS Pool keeper, Guppy, how ever that pool wide keeper thing works. Guessing if all your keepers are down, this bloke comes to the rescue..
Pool keeper
Nick Tarrant?

What ever happened to him? Keep meaning to ask his bro ant when I see him. But then we are usually both sloshed when this happens!

True that!
I have watched all the Timbers game so far, apart from yesterdays (damn easter), but it seems to be the same trend of once they concede, it goes to sh*t.
It was mentioned on Mao's latest podcast that the team who scores first has won every match this season so far in. Might not be correct now as that was pre-Dallas match IIRC.

highlgihts of the game on mls website - incl lots of gleeson, notably last moment save to win the game.
With saves like the ones from that last game, it's little wonder he's talk of the town over there. Shot Jake
They actually remind me a lot of us in our first season, and Gleeson is kind of like Glen Moss was.
Al Hassan is one of the players to watch for thew Timbers, man he has got some skills..

mainly about Chris wood, near the bottom a few lines about Gleeson.
n the United States, Jake Gleeson is playing so well he's in danger of provoking a 'keeper controversy.
He started Portland's sold out home opener, a 4-2 win over Chicago, during which a New Zealand flag was flying in the Timbers Army, one of America's more raucous fan groups.
Despite the return of No.1 Troy Perkins, Gleeson also kept goal in the Timbers' second home game, a 3-2 win over Dallas. And the 20-year-old may hold his position awhile longer, after sprawling to tip a goal-bound shot onto the bar in stoppage time, saving two points. Some fans are calling for the former Team Wellington 'keeper to be installed as the regular starter, but Gleeson said he's just going to play his best.
"I hope I'm making the decision tough for them." Perkins said while he's been impressed with his understudy, he wants his job back. "I love coming every day and seeing [Gleeson] grow. But still, I want to get back and fight for it."

I hope Gleeson keeps the starting keeper slot, so hopefully the Portland fans get right behind him

Could do a Tim Howard
Nick Tarrant?

Playing for the Wharfies first team (though he's spent most of the season so far suspended).
Will the game against LA Galaxy be on ESPN?
No, next MLS game on ESPN (sky) looks to be in May.

ESPN need to get the red button in effect.

Didnt he join the Man U Academy at some point?
he had a trial, but that was as far as it went. They said he was good enough to play in the premier league, just not for them
So what the hell is he still doing here?!?!?
I think you guys might be talking about Gleeson and Tarrant at the same time and getting a bit mixed up?
Troy Perkins back in goal against Galaxy game. Gleeson on the bench.

Timbers down 0 -1
Penalty against Timbers. Donovan Slots it. Bring on Gleeson
Gleeson would have saved that
Huge save by Perkins
donovan scores. 3 - 0 to LAtpmyhill2011-04-24 16:32:57
A Galaxy rout would be great for Gleeson, although I must admit, I have become quite the Timbers fan of late.

Tough on Gleeson being dropped...he did not deserve it. Bloody hard if you are a goalie to get back in if the incumbent is doing OK. He could do a lot of bench warming this season
I think Gleeson will show his worth in the reserves, and be promoted...
I think Perkins had a tough ask when the timbers defense cracked like it did in the first 8 mins, I thought Perkins did well to stop the shots taken at him.Azevo2011-04-27 14:52:40
