Na not Goram, wrong side of Glasgow!
Na not Goram, wrong side of Glasgow!Wasn't sure how far to go back. I'm sure we've had lots more
And I did like Marshall. As I did Flowers and Goram. And Hedman. Have au gone back far enough yet?
The stats are:
Burge played 82 games at L1 & L2 level and conceded 95 goals
O’Brien played 55 games at L2 level (never played at L1) and conceded 101 goals
Burge concedes 1.15 goals a game over his league career
O’Brien concedes 1.83 goals a game over his league career
Maybe because our fans have had to put up with his dross for 4-5 seasons.Yes but O'Brien is the better keeper because he is not in the team at the moment and Burge will always be considered an inferior keeper by our fans.

So you've not seen Eric McManus play in goal then !
He didn't because he's the worst goalkeeper to have played for the Sky blues !!!
I recall Hedman making loads of bad errors on corners and crosses that contributed greatly to getting relegated from the Prem. He was nowhere near as good as he thought he was, and I’m not sure why he always seems to get favourable mentions on here?
Murphy, for Me, was a lot like Carl Baker! Was hit and miss (on a good day) in the Championship. But once in L1 he looked like a fantastic keeper! Shame we couldn't keep hold of him! Was probably on a big wage though, but a top class L1 keeper, average Championship

he did and your dad didn't exaggerateOn the subject of keepers how about Les Sealey as the craziest ? And as a kid we had a goalie called Arthur Lightening who hailed from South Africa. My dad said he was a burglar ! He got done for some theft charge I think, but I reckon my dad exaggerated it a bit ?
My dad used to shout from the Spion Kop when Arthur was in goal at that end " Hide your valuables " at which those stood by us would laugh. Now I know why !he did and your dad didn't exaggerate
He wore a cap if I recall just like Bill Glazier did. A lot of keepers never bothered with one, but I'll always recall Glaziers red cap. If you look at old pictures of keepers in football books,many wore cloth caps !Arthur was worth the entrance fee just to see his antics . Great caricature.
Burge is in my opinion the worst goalkeeper to have been offered a new contract by the club in the 46 years I’ve supported them
What is your view?

Murphy was massively overrated.I really would argue about Murphy being decent.
Doyle?Only fair way to judge it is to look at how many cock-ups other L1 and L2 keepers have made that cost goals. Apart from the McNulty one at the start of the season (which was more like the defenders fault tbf) can anyone think of one in our favour in the last season or two?
Yeah, but Gordon Banks only had one eye!On the subject of keepers all goalies have made errors. Premier League to non-league all have made clangers and cocked up, it's part of their job it seems. David James nickname was "Calamity" but the record books show him as the best ever clean sheet keeper in the Premier League. I've seen Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton against us let in soft goals, and Peter Bonetti who was called The Cat, have a nightmare. That doesn't mean I reckon Burge is a great keeper, but he's no worse or better than any in the lower divisions.
Yeah, but Gordon Banks only had one eye!
Trivia question for this thread. Who can remember Ernie hunt playing in goal?
Great question, in the days before goalkeeper substitutes I can't remember us using an outfield player in goal but we surely must have.Yeah, but Gordon Banks only had one eye!

Ruth Jones is a flapper? :$It's all that fat Welsh bitch out of Gavin and Stacie,s fault. Don't know why oggy lets her coach anymore...................... Apart from the fact she has a big flappy fanny.
Stephen Hughes when Ian Bennet was sent off by Mr Singh V StokeGreat question, in the days before goalkeeper substitutes I can't remember us using an outfield player in goal but we surely must have.
I can remember young goalie Steve Murcott ending up in goal in 1979 having played in a reserve game earlier that day and is winning 2-0 v Norwich.
