Carson was great until it mattered at Ewood Park

Deano was better than Carson for me.

Dean Kiely and Bob Bolder - the epitome of solid, both of them

Bob Bolder’s display on New Years Day at Man Utd was unbelievable. Best I have seen!!

Who plays in goal for the Kenyan national team…surely we will have to be linked with him 

Has Linda Keeper said anything?

Any news on Kaminski, what do people think, hasn’t been mentioned surprisingly.

Another hilarious post by you, how do you think of these incredible comments?

Mannion is young enough to learn and improve.

I do think his morale is shot, though. The free kick he threw in his own goal, and the Wednesday howler, seem to have crippled his decision making.

Pathetic this younger generation.

I post on here nearly every day, sometimes 5 or 6 posts a day. Nearly all of them get derided. I get insulted, only yesterday someone called me "a charmer". "Likes" on my posts are rarer than dry farts in the Dominican Republic, where I now live.

Yet I still persist in posting despite my judgment being crippled, assuming I ever had any. Because at 86, I am still young enough to learn and improve.

If a club wants to take Kaminski " home" ...

He is Belgian. Sparta are Dutch. He would have a long walk home after the game.

Different nation, different league, though if they had any sense they would merge the two leagues. It would raise the standard and make their top clubs more competitive in Europe.

I actually looked up where he's from and it's surprisingly not as far from Rotterdam as I thought.

Then again, as the song goes, Rotterdam is anywhere ...

If he was anywhere near Brussels, Rotterdam is around 90 miles away.  People would probably be surprised on how many players do a commute in football.

East Flanders, so even closer than Brussels. Although he may have moved his family over here now considering how long he's been playing in England.

He may be like NJ and have a family near every club he has ever played at (or so we were told).

Bring back Willie Duff, he could pack a good punch

Dave Hickson of Everton can vouch for that after Willie laid him out at the Valley in a cup tie January 1959. He took his green jersey off and headed for the dressing room before the ref had time to get his notebook out 👊.

And did he fool the ref by doing that?

Would prefer Okonkwo if he was available. 

Not sure why he has fell out of favour at Wrexham to bring in other keepers etc? 

Not good enough at this level, been exposed a fair bit. He only looks good against us cause we have looked toothless everytime vs that lot.

Funny the difference in League 1 to Champ. Two seasons ago I'd have loved Okonkwo or the Stockport keeper Addai. Both looked class, now I wouldn't want either.

We need a bit better. I think the goalie slot should almost always be filled by a loan from a prem team unless you have developed one yourself. Plenty of times over the year a loanee goalkeeper has done a job in this league, and it's arguably the least important position in terms of tactics. A good goalie can just slot in anywhere almost.

Scott Carson was one of the best keepers in my lifetime.

I'd say that he was the best in my lifetime and I go back to '76.

Better than Kiely? 

Kiely has probably been our best keeper over the past 40 years. Only Scott Carson (1 season loan) comes close imo. Then Nick Pope & then (perhaps surprisingly) Rob Elliot.

This goalkeeper stuff, tis but a diversion, until the arrival of our new dynamic midfield combo!

Believe!
