As Samson has been playing in the goal he has been pretty solid, but somehow I think Roy should automatically go back in when he is 100% fit. I know it sounds stupid but I honestly believe Roy is the better keeper and should go back in the goal as i feel safer when he is there! Plus with him being our captain it would be hard to keep him out the team.
I just somehow don't trust Craig in the Dundee 11.

What is other peoples opinion of this?
And would you trust your subby keeper if your 1st team 1 got injured?

[Sooky]

why have you done 2 the same

[Ludo *1]

I accidentally clicked post topic twice, easy mistake

[Ad Lib]

neither of our keepers are that great. they both have their faults and strengths, but neither is up to much.

I'd trust Hinchcliffe over Tuffey any day though

[The Magic Moose]

On the 1 or 2 occasions I have seen our subby play he has done no wrong. Injury to golden balls McDonald would be his only chance of getting a start it would seem! No matter how many mistakes McDonald makes.

[CK]

Yes.

A combination of both would be ideal. Think of it, a good shot stopper in the Hinchy mould, coupled with a decent kicker of the ball a la Tuffey. We can but dream.

[Sooky]

i think that Samson is a good kepper bu Roy is just better

[onegaryteale]

What's a substitute keeper?

I wouldn't trust ours. He's about 16 and never been tested

maybe it's just the games i've been to, but Tuffey's kicking was pretty shoddy at Dundee an St Johnstone this season and at home vs QOS near the end of last. he's rather weak in the air (admittedly Hinchcliffe isn't brilliant, but significantly better in that department) and paries a lot.

have I just seen his bad performances?

Ah Ludo roy - the man who scored one of the most amusing Pars goals of recent times, as a Mark Burchill cross went in off Roy's puss. Any Livi fans remember that one?

Sean Murdoch has played in goals for us recently, and while he certainly isn't as good a keeper as Paul Gallacher, he hasn't done too badly. With Gallacher injured along with Roddie McKenzie, it means that our current sub keeper is Greg Patterson who's only about 16 or 17. He looks quite agile and a reasonable keepr when I've seen him, but he's about half the height of me, and for that reason I can't ever see him becoming a genuinely good goalkeeper. I'd have Gallacher back in as soon as he's fit, and I think most Pars fans would as well.

Two-footed and can whack it a fair distance (Hinchy can't put it beyond the half-way line), but prone to dodgy moments. Better kicker than King Kenny ever was, though.

[port-ton]

just now we have our holding midfielder dean keenan as our sub goalkeeper so no....no i would not trust our sub keeper in a game.

suppose. Was surprised to see Alan Main at St Johnstone hardly ever kick long, always short pass to a defender. anyone know why?

[Kyle]

because his kicking is worse than a dying rabbits

[gypoarmy]

no i dont trust ours!

To be fair, most people are half the height of you

What he said

[Hoochthedrummer]

ours was the first choice keeper last season...i probably would trust him as surely he can come for crosses and take them

[Mushroom]

I think Peter Cherrie is underrated somewhat.

He has been known to pull off many Hutton-esque saves in his time (albeit not as many) although the sense of dread when a cross comes into Cherries box would mean that I would be uncomfortable with him being 1st choice on a permanant basis.

[SteamingparBoz]

I wouldn't trust Roddy McKenzie to hold his pish never mind the ball.

He has pulled off one outstanding save; in the reserve game with Airdrie United last month.

I shudder to think how many points he has cost us in his time at Clyde

Roddie McKenzie is twice the goalkeeper Sean Murdoch is. That says a lot about Sean Murdoch.

Tell me about it. Other Accies fans, of course, will disagree - they thought he was great
