TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I suppose it does fill a hole in the afternoon. Those brown fingers . . . . .pleasure you cannot measure. Quote
mizer Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 So most of us want a new goalie, who is on the market that we could get in? Heard we were sniffing about the Polish keeper at Peterheid. Quote
Wayneo Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 give one of the young lads a go, think it's Greg Kelly who is the up and coming one...........or big Jim leighton prob still do a better job Quote
Millers Tache Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Soutar's got the jersey and it's his to lose. It's his turn now and, barring injury/a series of calamitous fuck ups, it's his til at least the end of the season. We won't be signing a new keeper unless we lose one, and if we do, it definitely won't be the Polish guy at Peterhead. It probably won't be Esson either, as we were just doing him a favour. However, if we need a new keeper desperately, i wouldn't rule him out. Quote
Mackie's ace! Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 give one of the young lads a go, think it's Greg Kelly who is the up and coming one...........or big Jim leighton prob still do a better job Greg Kelly is apparently not very good. Quote
Guest BTR Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Just please God, nae Ryan fucking Esson Now probably isn't the right time to tell you then, that he was sitting just a handful of seats from me in the Main Stand on Sunday... Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Greg Kelly is apparently not very good. No apparently about it. And... I've heard that Ryan Esson will be an Aberdeen player again next season. Not sure in what position though... Quote
Millers Tache Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 No apparently about it. And... I've heard that Ryan Esson will be an Aberdeen player again next season. Not sure in what position though... Hmmm... I've heard he won't, unless we lose either Langfield or Souter, and even then it depends on who else is available at the time. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Hmmm... I've heard he won't, unless we lose either Langfield or Souter, and even then it depends on who else is available at the time. Well I'd heard that it was dependent on one of our "keepers" leaving in the summer, however, it seems likely that one will. And then, going on previous experience, you really think JC would "scout" a keeper when he's got one on his doorstep who's also great to have around the place...? Quote

Sadly, as the final say on signings goes to JC, you're probably right. However, a glimmer of hope is that JC doesn't scout for keepers. That's left to someone who's meant to know about them and what to look for... Quote

That's left to someone who's meant to know about them and what to look for... I can guarantee that Leighton had utterly no input into the Langfield signing. He did for Soutars, but definitely not for Langfield. Quote

I'll take your word for that, as i've got no idea as far as that goes. All i know about is the current situation. He couldn't have scouted Langfield anyway. He never played for Dunfermline as far as i remember. Quote

mizer Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 Ahh, he never played for them, you are correct. I do remember some grumblings that we were signing a player who couldn't even force his way into the pars team now. Quote

My Dundee mate laughed cos he was a Dundee and Pars reject in the literal sense that he couldn't force his way to play for either of them. Quote

My Dundee mate (who you know) always rated him highly, but did warn me that he was liable to have a collapse of form at times. He got it right Quote
Millers Tache Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 My Dundee mate laughed cos he was a Dundee and Pars reject in the literal sense that he couldn't force his way to play for either of them. I think Langfield made his 50th career appearance playing for us. If he was 21, i'd say that was fair enough. He was, however, 25 or something. Had his career been spent at one of the ugly sisters, you could understand the lack of games. Sadly, Jamie's career had taken in such luminaries of the modern game as Dundee, Raith, Partick and Dunfermline. I was never inspired by his arrival. He did a hell of a lot that changed my mind about him earlier this season though, but it's definitely time for him to take a back seat for a while. Quote
capitalsharpie Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Ah, but is the change in form due to training from Scotland, Scotland's number one that has finally sunk in? Quote
Millers Tache Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Dunno. He certainly seemed to pick up the kicking pretty quickly. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 Could simply be that his confidence has taken an almighty doing after shipping all those goals wi a rank rotten defence and midfield in front of him. The same happened to Gordon at Sunderland. I don't doubt for a second that Calderwood thinks Langfield is the better of the 2 keepers but something had to give. Quote
TheChimp Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 Just to go on a slight tangent here, Esson has buggered off to Hereford until the end of the season. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/hereford_united/7301526.stm Quote

How about giving us a break nd playins sensible football then? Quote
