He's not.

He goes to Salford Uni and plays for Colwyn Bay.

Make it so they are not allowed to be hit into the box and have to be taken by the player closest when it went out of play and it could possibly work.

don't even think he s*** himself, if so he'd have punched it. just allowed the movement to make him misjudge it. Maybe but he looks tentative, if he's catching it there he has to jump higher. no. he has to make sure he doesn't lose concentration and keeps hold of the ball when it drops into his hands. Na, he needs to jump with his knees up and jump higher. he had the ball in his hands like he did numerous times today. that one he misjudged i reckon by being distracted by a player colse to him. jumping higher and putting his knee up would have made sod all difference The ball was never in his hands, if he jumps higher and with his knees up he not only takes the ball much higher well above their player but also puts the player off and thus catches the ball. As a keeper you have to catch the ball as high as possible, Harper did not do that. the ball was never in his hands ? what did it lift off to hit the bar ? if you catch the ball as high as possible aren't you then taking it over your head as opposed to the golden keepers rule of taking the ball into the body ? you pull it in once you've taken it in two hands but you have to take a cross as high as possible above the heads of the attackers, you have to catch crosses above your head or it is impossible to command your box, every cross would be headed in by a striker if you tried to take it in front of your eyes and pull it into your chest. the ball was just about in his hands but not under full control. my mistake, if he had been taking it higher up he might have been fine.

Well fuck this i'm going to listen to a play then go to bed.

Dangerous position to punch, if you misjudge it even a little it could land anywhere. Hes done the right thing. Pathetic. Id prefer a keeper to catch high lofted balls than punch those all day long. Thats just common sense for ya. But if he can't jump high enough to catch it due to the trajectory of the ball then he has to do something else. You are the one using this as the reason for him not jumping higher.

Not many are saying it wasn't actually a foul, what we are saying is that it was very soft and Harper should do much better.

Your "you are wrong" arguments are very well thought out and convincing tbf I'm pissed and can't be arsed to type out a long post but you are wrong.

Yep and you were wrong.

Then he should punch it or tip it over the bar. You are digging a hole here, I'd give up.

Purely because you dont want to be Na, I said he wasn't at fault until I saw it again this evening. It was soft and he has to do more there as I've said a million times.

You cant jump that high when you have no foward step, hes moving backwards In which case you have to question his positional sense as well then. This. The guy has looped it in far to high, thats why none of the defence has gone for it. Harpers standing between the middle and front of the goal, just where he should be as both strikers are on that side. You can keep goin on, theres no case against him. If there was id be making it, ive no reason to back up Harper. Well you are wrong.

Dangerous position to punch, if you misjudge it even a little it could land anywhere. Hes done the right thing. Of course he did the right thing. We won the game 2-1. Silly me. you do your bit & you expect them to get it right. Which Harper didn't do. It probably was a foul and often that would have been given but Harper has to do more.

Got to get up higher than that.

Yep, Harper has to do much better there, s*** himself with their striker running/jumping at him.

Having seen that again Harper is at fault, no doubt about it. He shits himself at the presence of their striker.

Not a hope. We will be lucky to hit 40, 000 if the charts on .cock are right. Still loads of seats left. http://i45.tinypic.com/2qtxwup.png Looks like alot places are amost sold out. Maybe not almost 47,000 but more than 43,000 or how many we normally get. For a start the 'unavailable' ones at the back of the Gallowgate have none sold bar the odd ST that may be in there as they are the ones that are pay on the gate.

Sounds like bollocks to me.

Apparently Hughton gave the squad Christmas day off, idiot.

God knows, how come we can all see it yet the managers we have had recently can't?

Yes and most people on here having been saying for years we need a creative central midfielder.
