what is this clown doing
Plz come back Birraz
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
Doing better than galekovic.
No love for the tip on to the post by BK? Haterz gunna hate.
You mean the one where he had a simple catch that he ****ed up and got lucky it hit the post?
Don't know to be honest. Saw a 2 second replay at half time in the red derby.
Only saw a 2 second replay for the penalty too, but thought it was soft.
I had the side on view of it.
It was a comfortable catch.
He got caught out on it and struggled to even get something on it.
It was fortunate it didn't go straight in without being touched
It was fortunate he didn't palm it into the net.
Everything about it was fortunate
In some regards it was a shame it didn't go in
The Bk free kick thread could be resurrected and be going gangbusters if it had of
Ah - nice to come back to this thread. I gave BK a 6 on the night.
First goal, could probably have attacked but difficult with a flat cross. Critics should view the serial errors by "Wundabirraz" whenever the ball only floated into the 6 yard box (enough to make a Yewtube vid and the major fault he has to rectify in England to succeed).
Distribution and tip on the bar in the first half? That wind was feral - not only strong but circular and intermittent. You do realise Thomas kicked the thing out on a number of occasions in the second half and also struggled with his positioning?
There are three or four usual suspects on here who will bump this thread as soon as BK as much as farts on the field - gonna be a long season!
Nah, only 27 games.
IU Thomas kicked two off the pitch from memory
Both of them were horrible strikes of the ball and weather conditions or not probably would have went out anyway
BK kept pinging them out because he was trying to lob them 5yards from the sideline instead of hitting the thing more central like someone with intelligence would do
As for the free kick he put onto the bar.
If that had of went in then it would have been a dark day for BK Fanbois
Reality is he created the problem needlessly with that and it was only fortunate that it hit the bar and the BK free kick thread isn't red hot
Wind or no wind wasn't the issue here. BK ****ed it up and got lucky
Do you think the coach is instructing the keepers to hit sidelines every time?
Even last year with Biraz it seemed instructions were to go that way (Biraz 'seemed' to have much more success with it but until I get the stat it's not real).
Now if that's the task and BK can't hit his man coach needs to find someone who can or alter his tactics.
Given how small we are across the park, it would make sense not to put it in the middle of the park. Seemed like it was a tactic to hit the sidelines. Tough in the weather, but I thought he did reasonably well with his distribution.
Still scared the f%&k out of me every time the ball went near him, or the box though.
this.
he was lucky on that free kick - the wind was horrid and he probably should have been closer to his line to be on the safe side.
but hey, many reckon Miller's comments about good stuff don't matter and all that matters is the result - well the result of that free kick was that it didn't go in.
thought is was pretty clear he under instruction to hit the wide men, it looked very much like that was the play in the shape drills I watched at training - though he hit his man pretty well given he conditions..... if you've got issues with him hitting his man, id being aiming your evil thoughts at he bloke giving the instruction.
The plan isn't that bad in theory. Without a tall presence in the centre, aim for the wings. If MV win the header they possibly head it out. If they head it to their own bloke we squeeze them. If it goes out, we press on the throw in. If we can win the header, we try flick it on down the line. Booting the ball into the centre of the field is usually a 50-50 anyway, and if the opposition win that header they can potentially be straight back on the attack.
I don't mind if the ball flirts with the sideline just up on halfway. If he hooks the thing into the crowd by a mile closer to the 18, that's a problem.
And the 3rd goal? What do you give BK for that?
Off a jets free Kanta passes the ball infield and the ball casually rolls in between Mullen, with his back to it, and BK with neither making any effort to make an attempt to get to it. I give BK the lions share of the blame here for not saying a word. He is the Keeper, even if he thought it was Mullen's ball where was his voice......
I would give BK a 4 and that is being kind.
1st goal is nodded in from 4-5 yards out, dead centre. All he had to do was take 2 steps and punch it out. Which is clearly what Mullen thought judging by the spray he gave him for it.
Again I reiterate what Fishy and others have said previously - no problems that if BK makes a mistake he is accountable, but why ignore others making the same mistakes and go into manic mode to lambast only BK ?
I think a little bit of natural justice is all I'm expecting.
There is one particular BK hater here who defended Birraz after his halfway howler by saying "geez we all make mistakes".....ah well.
And I still haven't seen the 3rd goal - was too busy watching the Adelaide game on Foxtel Go! I only heard the groans as it went in.
I have never been interested in the goalkeeper wars that go on here, but there is no disguising BK had an ordinary game, in what was admittedly difficult conditions.
If it was a defender playing a key role for two goals I would be giving it to them just as much.
Buffon would have saved both
BK must be shit. Letting two in this arvo.
So bad.
He didn't even dive for either of them.
