The endless (and probably pointless) GK debate thread.

He might have made some good saves, but are we naive to think distribution isn't just as important? Consistently kicking it out not only loses possession but it sucks the morale and confidence out of the rest of the players and even the fans. Obviously our midfield couldn't pass it to save themselves but at least they were under some pressure. There is no excuse for a keeper at that level to not be nailing their kicks, at worst 50% of the time. Christ Tom, even you managed to hit my head most of the times you aimed for it!

And the only reason Montano kept losing the ball is because Carney and Griffiths were hugging the sideline. If those two moved in and supported him, then it might have been a different story.

Need you back at RM next year Mike

As for Carney and Griffo, they were playing as wingers, Montano needed to be supported by the two midfielders, not those two.

Probably thought kicking the ball out was the best option to defend a ball from a throw in.... FFS players where not showing...

pretty sure the jets only know 1st phase footbal let alone 2nd.... wouldnt even know if they knew 3....

Was a good performance... Birraz in Number 1.

There was one time he tried to throw it out and threw it straight into a brisbane player.

Some genius at the back of bay 60 was yelling out "hope that biraz hair wasn't messed up during that - BK in!" after the first goal

[MFKS]

Just read through the shit on FB and the Herald from punters.

Can't believe the lack of intelligence from some of them that sees one of the biggest issues coming out of the game was Birraz hitting a few too many into touch.

No shit he did but FFS I could name a hundred more pressing matters than this that all had a bearing on the result

He was near me.
Good guy.
Had a chat at halftime.

Over heard a couple of blokes arguing on the hill after the 4th goal. One old guy hating birraz and blaming him (god only knows how he was blaming him?), one young guy decided to pull him up on it and make him look like an idiot.
It really is amazing what some people see compared to others!

Birras nerves are more frayed than a 15yr olds penis, get BK back in.

[Buddha]

Myself being a keeper believe he could of at least stretched out his arm fully for Henrique's 2nd and 3rd, rather than having a half assed effort, but that's just me picking at everything

This...a short spell on the pine would do him good as he looks "fazed". And BK did not do much wrong in preseason.

Of course, when BK does get his chance Birraz Boiz will undoubtedly put his performance under scrutiny with the intensity of an ASIO enquiry.

[BodyNovo]

BK Fanbois we did it.

BK BK BK

[Jetmaster]

Yes - Phil must've got our petition !

[roundballsarebetter]

Would of been 10.0 last week without him. Nice reward for a good game ey. Doesnt make sense if your going to drop him shouldof been done 3 weeks ago not after being our MOM last week.

[Jetmaster]

Any goalkeeper can get MOM when your goal is under siege. Apart from saving an ordinary penalty and a couple of one on ones, what did he actually do so great last week?

[plague]

we done it

[GazFish35]

suspect under wide balls into the area...... where Juric scores his goals from.


is weird though that hes dropped after pretty decent showing last week (except for goal1)

[plague]

Why drop him now?
Stubbins is dead set bonkers sometimes.

You cant win with some people. You just said yourself what he did so great unless you expect our GK to stop one v ones most people in the normal world expect strikers to score them.

[howardyou]

WTF is Stubbsy thinking? His saves were the only ray of light on a dark day. Yes distribution was poor sometimes, but was also given very few options.

Agreed. Great to hear he's being replaced by a bloke who would not get a reserve keeper contract for any other club in the A league. Bk is ****ing shit
