Alex you are always having a pop at me again - Have you nothing better to do?
Find someone else to sound off against with your puerile views
You are not telling me Steve Harper is not better than anything we have in the goalkeeping dept. at the club or in the e SPl for that matter other than Celtic who have a worldie in goal When players get to a certain age they are looking for a coaching role, a bit of experience will help him in his future development. I don't know if he has his badges.
Saying we can't afford Harper I agree, that is why I said get him to do some coaching, and I said " coaching" not just goalkeeping, *we sure need a good coach, our set pieces are all over the place, our throw ins are rubbish", I thought that could be an incentive.
Go and have a pop at someone else for a change.
You talk to me like I'm dumb or something. I have been around a long time. I was a Senior Fire Service Officer for a very long time. I ran a whole Time Fire Station for years. I don't need preaching at. I know wages are a big thing in a football club, I wasn't born yesterday.
End of rant
Laurence I don't think Alex was having a personal go at you, he's not that type of of poster in my experience. And there was certainly nothing puerile in his response.
However regarding your comments about Steve Harper I have to wonder if you've been on the sauce or are just on the wind up.
Firstly we do not need a full time 'keeping coach, our current situation seems to suit everyone at the club very well and the extra expense could not really be justified I feel. Secondly Steve Harper is not up to much in my opinion. Sure he played in the EPL but so did Peter Enckleman, Steve Simonsen and Massimo Taibi (sp?) that does not mean they are better than what we have. Harper has played an average of around 10 or 11 games per year over the past decade or more and has hardly set the heather alight during these games. But lastly Fraser Forster being world class - PLEASE!!! He's not even the best keeper in the SPL. Hell he's probably not even the best keeper at celtic. He's certainly the poorest keeper to play for either of the twins of evil in a very long time.
