FiNeRaIn Plenty of descriptions on here said his command of the area in particular was poor on tuesday, even this thread alone...and the other night. Shocking may be a bit harsh, but thats EXACTLY the over-statement people use when they describe feds performances...so that's my way of perhaps taking a snipe and riling those same people. Its obviously worked with you as you are very critical of feds, even when not deserving. Fed is a talented keeper, as I said he has weaknesses however you are assuming that with a long run in the team mccarthy would be an improvement...that's a very close call and nowhere near as cut and dry as some of you are making out.
Every time we lose a game he is made a scapegoat its getting annoying, its fickle, ignorant and its really a peeve of mine when people start chiming in with it after every game. We had no sustained pressure today, hardly created a chance and yet fed is taking the blame for conceding a flukey horror goal? ok....![]()
Why is no one blaming the horrible lack of creativity in our side and some quite awful, awful defending as per usual?
McDermott blamed the awful defending!
Take a bow Mr Harte!
With two keepers in my family, I know only too well the injustice of the situation. Strikers can fail to create a single opportunity or miss some absolute sitters but never (or only exceptionally rarely) get blamed for a team losing a game. Defenders can leave their keepers dreadfully exposed and yet still the keeper usually gets the blame! The keeper can make a string of exceptional saves but still carry the can because they let in 'that goal'. Keepers can even set up goals through quick thinking and good distribution but the scorer will take the credit. Even when they save a penalty it often goes down as being a result of a poor penalty rather than a good save. Who would be a keeper? No wonder they are often said to be mad!
