player of the year (2)

[robinfriday10]

chemical brother the best, must have been all that gymnastics or was it thai chi??????

[lefty]

Add to that no one has mentioned the PHW keeper - very agile, good football brain, very capable and a top bloke too!

You have got to be kidding me. Watched him set up a wall on Sunday to defend against a free kick. Worst wall I can recall ever seeing, left both sides of his goal unguarded, and then placed himself directly behind it, blind to the ball. So no surprise when Wester curled the ball around the wall into top corner, the keeper obviously didn't see the ball till it past the wall and just watched it as it hit the back of the net.

Best in Sunday Premier league, would have to be a close call between...
Hullsy (natural old school keeper who pulls off some great saves and makes them look totally effortless like no keeper I have seen)
Benny A (Always seems consistantly strong)
Matt P (Solid reputation, strong and consistant. Yes he has the occasional brain failure, but that goes to show that keepers are a little crazy. This just adds to reputation, as an opponent you never know what he will do)

B's
Azza (Very strong and agile keeper, as long as I have played against him I am yet to see him have an off day)
Rosco from the Vale, same as Azza.
The keeper from Gardens is also quite a good keeper. Also not too bad on the field too.
Ingle Farms keeper is not too bad, personally don't rate him as high as the other three but his record stands out this season.

As far as Div 2...
Ryan E from TTG is a great keeper, his height is definately an advantage to him, but he is also strong on the ground.
Vikings keeper looks good too from the limited amount of time I have seen him play.


Any keeper on his day is capable of a match winning performance, as any keeper is capable of making that one mistake that costs a team a game. As it has been said before, you have to be crazy to be a keeper, but personally I would not play any other position.

Your wall on Sunday wasnt the best either with Pauly seeing an opening and slotting one past the far post to equalise

One mistake doesn't constitute a reputation mate. At the end of the day all Premier Division keepers are quality and have seen magic from Peacey and had the pleasure of seeing Hullsy play in goal and on the field and know that the Downs have goalkeeping talent in spades through all their sides

That being said you must have a good football brain to have scored forty goals in an amateur league season and now be a keeper in a good side............and still a great bloke too!

[kinghenrik]

this is tough as i only get to see the other keepers two or sometimes three times a year. benny A is very handy and matty peace minus the send offs can pull off some magical saves. i know this appears bias but i have to go with rob greenwood. the mans positioning with one on one s are supurb and rivalled only by his shot stopping ability. he does struggle with his kicking sometimes but makes up for it in alot of other areas. perfect example of the guys heart would be sundays game where he ran well out of his box to make a 50 50 when he was still clearly in pain from a previous challenge. he is the steve hawking of football as well. rarely have i seen the man stumped with any football question.

[emirates01]

benny aldridge is pure quality, with out a doubt. the save he made against farm this year is probably the best i have seen in the last 3/4 seasons. must say greenwood is also class as well. bottom line is, if you want to do well in the top flight, great keepers are a must.para hills west keeper is also very good.

[chemical brother]

It was definately the gymnastics early on, footy as a teenager and now just recent thi chi with meditation. So watch out RUTTER ile tie u up into a nice braid..

[aussieineurope]

For pure entertainment value, our As keeper is up there with the best.
Re pinch weasel

I have to agree the A's goalie for Croatia is a scream and well worth of a medal . Up there with the best on the day.

Hey Lefty you need to get your facts right mate, it wasn't my wall, I was not playing. If you want to discuss my setting up of defensive walls mate you are welcome to after the B's game when you come up to our ground.

I totally agree with you though, the wall was not set up to the standard that I would normally expect of Hulls, and you guys were able to slot a very easy goal away. On that I hope you all the luck in the cup mate.

[cbf gk]

yea but chunky chunder wat div do u play? ud be wantin to play div 3 max to compare. i mean i could say i have kept 3 clean sheets n had 3 motm performances or close enough in div 3 with a team in relegation n no defence but i can't compare me self to a div 1 keeper till i played in that div. if ur record was in a high quality div people would be talkin bout ya on here

[ORANGE PEELER]

yea but chunky chunder wat div do u play? ud be wantin to play div 3 max to compare. i mean i could say i have kept 3 clean sheets n had 3 motm performances or close enough in div 3 with a team in relegation n no defence but i can't compare me self to a div 1 keeper till i played in that div. if ur record was in a high quality div people would be talkin bout ya on here

where do u play cbf gk?

[cbf gk]

in div 3. but as 4 best keeper in our div im not sure. sadly the only time i tend to see keepers work is wen we playing a team down the bottom with us. next yr will be diff when im playing 4 a higher placed team.

sorry i meant wat team in div 3 but as u say ur playing for a higher placed team i will assume u r currently at the Stones......& if so u r getting paid next year i believe

[Chucky Chunder]

No two people are in identical situations, and if that's your argument then your stats mean diddly squat.

[cbf gk]

my arguement is u can't possibly compare ur keeping stats to a keeper in a higher div. im sure i could find a cone that could keep clean sheets in say div 6 or 7 but that doesn't mean that the cone is good as or better than b div 1 or 2 keeper with the same or lesser stats. wat div u playing in chunky? 8, 9? dnt get me wrong, its still a fair effort wateva div but ya can't compare oranges n mandarines. n orange peeler, how'd ya know? haha. talkin smack got me no where haha. gd luck rest of the yr though

[Chucky Chunder]

If it makes you feel good.

[cbf gk]

its alright id be embarrassed to if i came on here bragging about how good i am at div 8 or so. i dnt care wat team but wat div superstar? then ur stats myt stand worthy on this forum. if ya keep shirkin away from my question can we all assume division 7 n get on with talkin bout decent keepers ay?

[Chucky Chunder]

Assume away... but you're wrong. Winding you up is fun

[Certified Head Case]

He played division six, but has stepped up to our division two team and kept another three clean sheets on top of that stats he posted.

[Outlaw 2.0]

He played division six, but has stepped up to our division two team and kept another three clean sheets on top of that stats he posted.

In light of recent proceedings would it be correct to assume he is Munno Para's fourth string keeper??

[Chucky Chunder]

He played division six, but has stepped up to our division two team and kept another three clean sheets on top of that stats he posted.

Unfortunately work constraints prevent me stepping up more often.

[cbf gk]

haha. 4th string? sure its work. have fun in ya ds buddy. how many games u played 4 ur first team when work hasn't been the issue?

[Chucky Chunder]

I've never played for a d's team.

[Outlaw 2.0]

Well??

[Certified Head Case]

Not Munno Para, and for what it's worth our club doesn't have a d team.

[cbf gk]

hahaha. so how many times u played a' s this yr buddy? for this supposed division 2 team? n sorry ill correct myself. have fun in ya c's.

[Outlaw 2.0]

Not Munno Para, and for what it's worth our club doesn't have a d team.

Worth a guess. Good luck between the pipes Chucky lets hope your successful in the B's and can hold your spot. Perhaps that way you can satisfy cbf gk....... After all he is leaving his field for greener pastures next year.

Ohh and by the way if you ask any goalkeeper at the top of their respected league what makes a good goalkeeper, its not flashy saves or good shot stopping. It is organising your defence so well that you barely have to do a thing all game, think about it.

[Chucky Chunder]

I can't plays B's that often as I work in the afternoon, but the c's are a great bunch of lads.

[cbf gk]

fair statement outlaw. i wish it was that simple for us but bein promoted n comin up was always gonna be a big ask n only recently have we started gettin some results. i believe we can stay up but the coon is gonna have to play c big part. and chunky, yea good luck in ya c's mate. myt be awsome. but like my argument all along. you can't compare ur stats to this forum of keepers. still fun stirring me up? ill have a chuckle wen i think of ur high quality c's record ay

[ze_camel]

benny aldridge is pure quality, with out a doubt. the save he made against farm this year is probably the best i have seen in the last 3/4 seasons. must say greenwood is also class as well. bottom line is, if you want to do well in the top flight, great keepers are a must.para hills west keeper is also very good.

i thought the saved he pulled off against inter from a header from Matthew Marchioro was amazing.
