Ronaldo Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The only time I can ever remember Harper really being lauded with praise was after the 2-2 at Boro during 98-99. He made just about best save i've ever seen from an NUFC keeper that day, even better than Shay's against Gudjohnsen and Chris Perry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Victor Valdes is a good solid keeper. He's like a slighty better version of Given. Shot stopping being his best quality, but not as good overall as the top keepers in the world. Aye he's canny, wasn't criticising him really. It's just saying that being in a top team doesn't mean it's a given that you're in the national team. Never mind if you're Harper mediocre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Given v the Mackems in 2001-2 to tip Phillips' shot over. Think it was even shortlisted for best Premiership save in it's first 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 So the fact Harper and Carson play in a shite league is a reason to pick them now? What about the fact both arent good enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The best goalkeeper in our league by a mile. Whatever division he's playing in I can't see a more consistent or better all round keeper right now. That said I really don't give a shit as England's loss could be our gain. There again the kid deserves some recognition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Agreed, for the most part he's been outstanding this season. Can't really remember any glaring errors, which to me is thefirst thing to consider when picking a goalkeeper. I can't see it happening but I don't see how he can't be in contention when the rest of the choices are James, Green, Robinson, Foster & Hart. Even the young POSH keeper got a call up. Would be great to see an NUFC player boarding the plane to SA in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I really don't think it'll happen, he's pretty decent imo but playing in a much lower level than all the other Keeprs. The kid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
