<br />I'll have you know that Joe is a legend up here in Scunny..........can't think why<img src="images/smilies/whistle.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Whistle" smilieid="49" class="inlineimg" />
<br />Well he <i>is</i> the worst goal keeper in the history of people keeping goals.<img src="images/smilies/facepalm.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Facepalm" smilieid="61" class="inlineimg" />

He's made way more that 4.
<br />least they would be able to hold on to the rope to ring the bells. murphy would probably drop it

Good form 2nite on here!
<br />im at work bored i need a giggle. thread about joe murphy was always going to be funny. need a hussey 1 now and ill be in my element.
I don't think Murphy is that bad a keeper. He is an average goal keeper and is unfortuate that he came in and replaced Westwood. Had he have came in to replace Dimi or Shearer people would see it differently.

At least Dimi Kantstopalotofshots had a great nickname! Sorry, but for me Joe Murphy is the reason why those in front of him so bad, they have no confidence in their 'keeper.
agreed. for me he isnt confident. he isnt commanding when crosses come in. he flaps a lot. he doesnt seem to be a great shot stopper. some keepers are 1 or the other, either great at stopping shots, quick and agile or very good at catching the ball and dealing with crosses etc. very few are good at both. murphy for me is good at neither.

How many goals would we concede less of Westwood was in goal.
I'm a keeper myself, and if there's one thing Murphy isn't guilty of it's flapping. He doesn't come off his line often (because his height means he can't be as commanding as we'd like) but when he does he usually makes a good catch/punch. I can't remember him coming off his line and not getting to the ball.
As for his shot-stopping being poor, you must have been watching a different keeper to me for the last year or so, because I'd say that's the strongest part of his game. Two good ones on Saturday and several one-on-ones last year. Hell, he's even saved about 4 penalties while he's been here.
I can say with 100% confidence if we replaced him with Dunn we'd be shipping more goals.
i cant answer that as i have not seen every goal we have conceded but it is kind of an irrelivant question. would be like saying how many goals more would we of scored with messi up front? westwood might of saved a few murphy didnt but he might not of. we will never know. i just dont like murphy
I'm not going to get into a debate about goalkeeping with someone that genuinely thinks Fabian Debec and Scott Shearer were better keepers for us than Murphy has been.
Fair point. Debec was the worst keeper we have ever had. He will tell us next that "big" Andy Goram was better as well.
i didnt say they were better i made a joke about holding rope. and how can you provide evidence of the random point i made regarding messi? "westwood played in a better team" as does messi. Just because someone has done something at 1 place doesnt mean he would do it here (torres liverpool-chelsea). i dont like murphy for the reasons i said. i dont think he is a good goalkeeper. simple as.

If Murphy played in man United's team his goals conceded column would improve. Put any Premier League goalkeeper in our team and he will concede more.
This suggests the goalkeeper is not the problem
The biggest joke is that old cliche the defence have no confidence in him.
If you were in goal how much confidence would you have in them!
