t Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Bit strange and disappointing to hear the Saints youth team players, who were sitting in the home stand, chanting "dodgy keeper" towards Alan Main after the goal today. Young lads having a laugh maybe but annoyed me, especially as they were dressed in their Saints tracksuits - bit naff really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perthsaint1884 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I heard the chanting but couldn't really make out who was chanting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Well, was he dodgy or wasn't he? IMO he was definitely dodgy, so they were right enough. Still, it doesn't do much for squad morale to have that happen, but neither does Main's terrible performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ormond stand saintee Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 the saints youth players wont remember Main from when he played for us during his first spell at the club, they're baseing it on what they have seen so far this season during matches, and they're correct Main has been dodgy.

MUZZ Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 main has been quality and saved us plenty of times since he came back. this talk of him being dodgy is a lot of shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noremac Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I think these comments might come back and haunt you. He persisted in punching the ball yesterday when cathing it would have relieved the pressure on the defence and as a result the defence got jittery. Our defence last season was lot lot better with Cuthbert who has be dumped once again. I think Main will cost us in the long run, we will see if he is shite come May 08.

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Give Cuthbert the jersey for the Partick game and lets see if he,s better. If he is then give him a run in the team and give Main some bench warming duties. Might focus his mind a bit better and help him realise he aint indispensable..............

SaintSam1884 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Main has undoubtedly pulled off a few saves that have saved our skins this season, particularly in the Raith and Dundee matches, so it's difficult to then go onto criticise him. However, I think his decision making is dreadful. What really annoys me is that Cuthbert has taken so much abuse for being lobbed in the past due to poor positioning. However, I've seen Main lobbed at least three times this season because he has been standing so far off of his line when the opposition have got onto the ball. People can only make excuses and blame the defenders so many times before they have to accept that some of the blame has to lie with Main.

SJC Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Mains decisions to punch the ball a few times yesterday were justified, he had to go through a few players to get it to safety. Cuthbert would just have stood on his line when faced with the same decision, Main has been playing fine apart from two stupid throw outs, one against Dundee and the one against Clyde yesterday. In terms of solving whats wrong with the team theres no point in looking at Main because he has been good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryangordon86 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I agree, Main's distrubution has been well below an acceptable standard, even to the extent of giving the opposition an advantage over us! every time its out for a throw or straight to the other team, admittedly it was a bit better on sat but i think its time to give Kev a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Change in goalkeepers must be thought about. Strikers are rotated for not scoring goals, and i think we are in a fortunate position to rotate goalkeepers. I would def be dropping Main as he has just walked into the team, when I think Cuthbert is a fine keeper and performed well last season (when we were reasonable) Main was a fans favourite before he left, but I would be confident to say that his best days are long past. He is now an experienced keeper worthwhile keeping. But Cuthbert is as good, if not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUZZ Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 if cuthbert had been in goal this season, we would be out the challenge cup and dundee would have 12 out of 12 points. keep up the good work main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I doubt that Muzz. How long has Main been in the game now ? & hasn`t learned to kick the ball within an area of 80 to 100 yards & continually gives away posession. I asked BH recently to point out what Cuthbert had done wrong last season & he came back with the general peseption that we had no confidence in him. He may have done better at the freekick against Hibs & we saw on the tv replays that he did not touch van hessledick but he is a steady keeper who has seen off 4 or 5 keepers over the past few years. Main can`t cocentrate on the game for playing up to the crowd. His 8 months out of the game has had a major affect on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Neither is Main............. That was never my point. what my point was last season everyone had a right good go at cuthbert too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
