Main had a bit too much personality which caused a few silly errors but I doubt we will see a better save at McDiarmid than from that header v Dundee.

I thought it was brilliant when he cockily side footed an effort thinking it was going to be a certain goal only for it to be saved.

pezza70 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 He has been in the team of the week twice already. When we haven’t scored a goal in the league as yet and our keeper is the MVP of our team so far, that says something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Thought after that performance that Costelloe might be a good shout for a lone striker in the future. He's big, 6'4 I think, which would be handy for holding up the ball when a long punt down the pitch is necessary. He seems to be hard working, young and energetic, so he should have enough in the tank to do the job for a full game. He's also a got a turn of pace on him and looks like he's not afraid to have a go at goal. Could be a better option in these kind of games. I felt we couldn't hold on to, or do anything with the ball when we did manage to get it early on, so he might be a better option for the role.

Wonder if the rumours Clark can go are true because Maclean thinks the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I can find online about his height says 175cm, which I think is more like 5'8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea where I got the 6'4 from, maybe one of the other new signings? He did look much taller than 5'8 at the weekend. Anyway, I still think he'd do a good job up there on his own. He seems to have all the attributes for it. Apart from his height of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjohndb Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 So good to have some things to be optimistic about. A great keeper is an old tradition - Maclaren/Donaldson/Robertson/Clark / Mitov. Matchwinners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gekko Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) "Big" George Tulloch Bryn Halliwell Mark Paston Many others I can think of, but one that sticks in my memory, even though I can't remember his name, was the reserve keeper when Sturrock took over He was an Irish boy and had an Irish sounding name, funnily enough, but apparently, when seeing the squad for the first time and being completely unimpressed with this lad, Sturrock said to Geoff... "Who is that?...And why on earth is he being allowed to wear a goalkeeper's jersey." To which Geoff said, "That's what you've got to work with, get on with it." Needless to say the boy never got a game and was out the door quickly. Edited September 1, 2023 by Gekko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
