DumbartonTheSons Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 They are being coached by a guy who hasn't played in goals in a competitive game. That says it all. What's the story with that? Who's the coach?I know some very good coaches haven't been decent players but if true that would certainly seem strange at the very least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donny86 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 He's the same coach who coached mcgurn. It's not a coaching fault. The same McGurn that kept conceding from free kicks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The same mcgurn most regard as the best keeper we've had in a long time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm a goalkeeper, albeit not to the same standard but it is personal fault if a fk goes in on your side. You set the wall up and defend the side that isn't covered. I can't believe any coach would tell a keeper otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Mcgurn, Mcneil, Cuthbert, Brennan and Penska have all conceded goals and looked suspect from direct free kicks. They all approach them the same way. Leave a massive gap and hope the wall stops it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 how many open golf championships did Sam Torrences's father win ? Yes but the common theme is Penska ,Cuthbert and McGurn are all hopeless at setting up a wall. Common coincidence !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I understand why folk are pissed off at the goals we concede from free kicks but the 'keeper is always going to gamble on his wall having an impact or the taker not being very accurate. Personally, I think we've been unlucky. The likes of Cuthbert and McGurn wouldn't blindly follow the goalkeeping coach if they didn't think something was quite right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Saw you'd won the Development League - how is James Berry coming along? I see there was mention above that Berry might be one who could make the move to the first team daily soon, I take it it's the same guy? Good luck on Saturday btw. Was hoping you'd get something tonight but try and send those black and white pretenders down, would you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 There continually seem to set the wall at least one player shy of the post. I remember hearing from Peter Czech on tv that they are coached to stand to the post and have 2 players in the wall to the side of the post. I cannot clearly see this from the stand behind the goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've nailed it pal. The goalie needs to come and sit in your seat in the stand when setting up his wall... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuigan1978 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 As much as I've only seen it once, and from the opposite end of the park, I'd pin the blame on that goal on Jordan Thompson tonight, rather than the 'keeper. I've been fairly sanguine about our innumerable defeats this season, but that felt different tonight. Maybe it was just because I was half pissed and delighted to be celebrating a couple of goals, but that felt more despairing than any other loss we've had. To end on a positive though, Jonny Court is some boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight was largely a free hit and we got nothing from it, but still, it was always going to come down to getting something at St Mirren. 4 goals in two games though, at least we have some faint hope to cling to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but the vacuous emptiness of pointlessness has draped over the vast majority of our away games this season. This one actually gave us hope for the vast duration of the second period. The b*****ds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicsco Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just seen the goals again on sky sports news. The keeper was in the right position for the free kick just looked like it went right through him. Think he should of done better but made a few good saves in the first half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get to see the handball by Thompson to give the free kick away? He seemed to be gesturing that he was pushed and that's what caused him to handle it, but I'm not so sure. Looked like he just had a brain fart and punched the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
