He's been beat at his near post countless times lately, and being outmuscled at Rovers 2nd yesterday was something you'd get berated for playing amateur on a Sunday.

He gets himself involved with wrestling consistently, and gets caught out on it regularly. Murray had obviously prepped Rovers for this. He seems to get... I dunno, fixated is a bit strong, but he's not comfortable when people get physical with him.

You won't win it, so just remove yourself from the situation and be a goalkeeper, rather than get involved. Every corner was the same.

I know I am getting old but when the teams came out ‘smoke bombs’ were thrown left and right into the Motherwell crowd, then two were thrown onto the pitch.  These two stained/damaged/scorched (I don’t know which) the surface.

Is that what pyro is about?

Not to mention the one that landed in the disabled fan section and nearly gassed a wee guy.

Arseholes.

Liam Kelly is a charlatan. an absolute impostor. 

Get him to f**k.

I have a preference for a beast of a goalie not a Twink. Liam Kelly is learning towards the Twardzik side of the Twardzik-Randolph spectrum.

Good instinctive keeper but does not command his box the way I like or want. He was intrinsic to keeping us up but more so because he had competence that Chapman had a dearth of.

One thing with a club captain is you better make sure you pick the right guy because as well as leadership qualities and setting standards you also need someone who’s in the top 3 on your team sheet every week.

McHugh, SOD and Hartley all spring to mind as skippers who went through awful form but their status probably kept them getting starts.

He's not terrible but he's not the world class goalkeeper some folk think. In our list of keepers over the years I'd probably go.

Randolph

Carson

Gillespie

Ruddy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kelly.

I said this before but if you want me to elaborate I'd say Kelly sits in the average goalkeeper category. Not great, not a complete dud. He's no Chapman/Samson/Nielsen but he's sure as f**k not a world beater.

I'd put Kelly in a mid tier just ahead of George Long, who whilst at times was a bombscare, had that unreal run of saves at Ibrox in the Playoff game which elevates my opinion on him greatly, then Ripley around them.
