That’s a bit crap TBH. Does he really need to scale back at that age?

I think it s a little soon but when it comes to intentionally football you get a big tournament every 2 years (if your lucky) and he will he 33 come the World Cup which is more a standard retirement age. This way a younger player (Gilmour?) gets the Nations league and the World Cup qualifiers.

If he's not even challenging at 22 then yes I'm saying he will never be Hearts number 1. Same as Johnson will never be Hibs number 1 if he isn't challenging this time next year. It seems obvious to me the plan is to give him the chance.

Good young goalkeepers are playing 1st team football in their teens and early 20s all over the world now. There is no point in ending up in another Dabrowski situation where we are still talking about a 'prospect' at 24/25. If you aren't good enough to displace the incumbent by that age then you need to move on.

Other than donnarumma who was obviously a real prospect, I can't think of many?

In Scotland Marshall and Gordon are probably the last two and that was 20 years ago.

So who's that age playing first team football in Scotland?

Johnson, Adams (Kelty), MacFarlane (East Fife) Ferrie ?(QP) anyone else?

Why are the first games of the season in the English championship 12.30 kick offs and League 1 17.30 kick offs


What's wrong with traditional 3pm Kick offs.

In Scotland Marshall and Gordon are probably the last two and that was 20 years ago.

The even more famous one is Iker Casillas. I have a memory of watching him in the champions league at 17, but wiki tells me he was actually 18 when he was brought into the first team. Champions league final the following season. Still the best pure shot stopper ever imo.

I would have liked us to put Murray Johnson in last season and persevered with him when Marshall was clearly past his best and Wollacott clearly wasnt being given a run, but we were a fairly toxic place for a while and it would have been a high risk choice, both for our chances of staying up and his own development and mental health! Also, the explosion of the loan market means that good young keepers are more likely to move down divisions to get game time, the most important thing for development. In lower leagues in England clubs arent even keeping 2nd goalies on the books in some cases because they are abusing the emergency loan rules, there are quality keepers playing below their level to get minutes. It’s certainly what id advise my son to do if he was ever good enough to have a career, get the minutes on the pitch and learn your trade that way.

Oxford and Cambridge haven't played each other for two years, so this should be a classic.


Ah, sorry, you mean the other City and Utd.

Was there any time at all when you were talking to Oxley that you concidered letting him hold your new born?

I think it's because the police are not keen on 5.30pm kick offs for Manchester derbies in London. I believe that's why the FA cup was also played at 3pm.
