Elgin Macca Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 1 minute ago, Robin.Hood said: This seems to be a real problem going forward. Think Craigkillie got it spot on with saying we have been accustomed to having good goalkeepers over the years. Dosnt seem to be many standouts. We have faith in Gordon who is ( 40 I think ) still. I was thinking this in the build up to the recent squad announcement. If Gordon gets injured or retires in the near future who would be our No.1? 3 or 4 candidates who are all much and such and a bit meh. There seems to be high hopes for lad slicker at man city but he is probably still 2 campaigns away age wise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General dissaray Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Bobby Allain played 19 times for Orebro in the Swedish top flight this year Team isn't doing that well though at the moment Edited November 4, 2021 by General dissaray 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I've resigned myself to it being Kelly for at least a couple of years, hopefully he is semi-competent enough to let our excellent outfielders go out and win games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what there isn't a lot off good Scottish keepers going around at the moment for the next ten years We were calling up guys like McGilvary out off league one before who is at Charlton just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Saw that David Marshall is looking for a January move, clearly it would be at least partially to get himself back involved in the Scotland picture with the playoffs coming up. Steve Clarke has said he would be back at the front of his mind, but it wouldn't necessarily be good for Clark and Kelly who are trying to begin their international careers. Worth keeping an eye on perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Marshall’s done. If he’s getting a move, it’s to English League One or a bottom half Premiership side. He’ll always be a Scotland hero, but I don’t think he can cut it at this level anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Also, Zander Clark doesn’t have an international career, because he isn’t a good goalkeeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your choice of selection criteria. We're talking about a fairly/very small pool of decent young keepers who qualify to play for Scotland and who preferably also have some good level/European level experience. Can't see how Clark doesn't meet this particular criteria, and it won't be a big pool to choose from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Clark might have an International future simply due to a lack of options. I think he's as good as Kelly, but the ~2 year spell he had before turning the corner as the calenders changed probably influence a lot of people's opinions about him. He looked to have huge potential initially. He won't be as good as Gordon was/is though, but I'm not sure what keeper coming through will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I reckon Gordon will be targeting still playing for us at the Euros, and by that point Clark would be 32. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Man City chasing a 15yo from Celtic and they have 19yo Slicker on their books - no idea if either will turn out to be good enough, but hopeful signs at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Sullivan and Paul Gallacher on the other hand... Sullivan was an under-rated keeper. Perfectly decent international standard keeper even if not at the level of Goram and Leighton before him. Certainly better than Rab Douglas, although Rab was not a bad keeper by any means. Edited November 19, 2021 by Skyline Drifter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
