Mick Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Harper shouldnt even be allowed near Newcaslte Blue Star's starting 11, nevermind Newcastle United's starting 11. I hope you're fishing for a bite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sittingontheball Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 If he's playing Harper because he thinks he's better, he should keep him in even if he makes a mistake. You only change on a run of errors. Keepers need confidence like everyone else. Given for me all the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quailman Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 We have one of the best 'back up' keepers in the premiership and that's Harper. Given is and always will be, until retired, our No.1 keeper! Well done to Harper while Given was injured, but there shouldn't be any problem choosing the keeper when both are fit.

Guest michaelfoster Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 i think as Shay was injured, Harper got his chance, now they are both fit its Harper's place too lose. I think Harper was a fair way off his line so he's lost his chance & Given should get his place back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Once again Harper will keep his league place after today and rightly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 This annoys me, yes Harper is playing good but surely Shay should be given (pun) some kind of chance? He is a better keeper imo, its a shame that now when we finally have a good defence that Shay isnt number 1 goalie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Harper was really good today, almost a 100% sure Given will start vs Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I expect Shay to play in the Carling Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dev Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Exactly, you can't just go around benching Harper when he is in top form, it'll ruin him and it won't do Given any favours either. Harper is playing very well, he should keep his spot and the onus is on Given to earn his spot back, which will require some outstanding work in the cup matches. The competition can only help the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just 2 thoughts 1. I just hope no one will bash Harper just because he's chosen to be the starter. He's playing well and it's not his fault for forcing Given on bench. 2. If Given won't be picked against Arsenal there must be something happened. Probably a bust up with Big Sam.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Still leaves you heart in mouth when the ball gets played back to him. Great shotstopping though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Still leaves you heart in mouth when the ball gets played back to him. Great shotstopping though. I remember you saying that he'll never be No1 here, no matter how bad or well he plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Steve was good today and been solid for a while now, but should shay- one of the best keepers in the world imo- displace him and take the the position? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
