Always thought Hamer and Morrison had a problem with each other , due to the bad vibes they seemed to give each other during the game but was told they were great mates and got on really well, that surprised me .
Good luck Ben , you had too much bants for the Belgium bores .
Just seen this on Twitter: Goal. The Robins pull one back through Andre Johnson, who taps home after a fumble from Ben Hamer. #lcfclive Some things never change...

Yep your right. Good keepers make mistakes and people make silly forum comments. Two of life's certainties.
Not a silly comment - in my opinion. We all have our own opinions - and mine is that Hamer had some great games and made some fantastic stops. But, as you say, keepers make mistakes and he made a few too many.
Three saves which stand out in the memory, the last minute point blank worldy save away to Brighton season before last to keep it 0-0 and earn a valuable point. The top corner save away to the Wendies to take us through to the sixth round and the injury time penalty save away at Leeds to secure three priceless points. Still if you only go to home games you wouldn't appreciate them as much I suppose. Very good keeper at this level not forgetting great distribution with his feet which his knockers may come to appreciate now he's gone. He's that average that a premiership club have signed him. :-0
That fumble will (and it was a poor one) do no more or less than cement his position at the Club.
And that is exactly the same as Elliott at Newcastle - warming the bench 'til the Club wants to rest their first choice.
Such is the disparity in terms of money (and security it comes with) between being 2nd choice at a PL and first choice at a Championship Club, electing not to get a regular spot in the team becomes a "no brainer".
Alnwick and Randolph were also better than Blamer.
Really? Anyway nice weetabix save by Randolph to give us the three points at Birmingham last season. Alnwick started off ok away at Huddersfield but had a wobble himself after a few games although granted he did have personal issues.
Best keeper since Deano? Maybe the best keeper since Deano that wasn't named Carson, Randolph, Alnwick, Elliot and Myhre. But he was a LAD though so I guess that makes up for it.
Carson - relegated from Prem Alnwick - Played 4-5 really good games max, didn't achieve anything with us Randolph - Best game was against a Conference North side, which we still lost Elliott - Only one who comes close to Hamer, but didn't have as good distribution and didn't win anything with us Thomas Myhre - Erm, ok?
Ben Hamer - Broke the Charlton clean sheet record, won a league Championship and was part of a solid defence for three years straight.
But lets not let facts get in the way of putting down a former player who has left us for bigger and better things.
Not putting him down because he left for better things, I've never rated Hamer. Nothing against the guy I just don't think he was as good as a lot on here make out.

Only love I've got for Weaver was when he passed the ball out to John Robinson in the 2000/01 (?) season who then returned the favour by passing the ball back
Unfortunately Weaver then proved his amazing skills by failing to complete the one.two, instead he hit a beautiful air shot resulting in another goal that afternoon for Charlton

Remember him getting beat by a 30 yard free kick against Coventry at the Valley when we were relegated. It was like a pass into the net.....he was absolute garbage.

I'd argue that he had to save our bacon one too many times in that case!
Better he makes a fumble mistake now in a friendly than the 3rd round of the Captial One Cup.
as somone else said our best keeper since deano

Thought the stick he got in abundance not long ago was OTT and i think some of the praise now he's gone is also a bit OTT.
Carson was our player of the year and just because we were relegated that season did not make him a bad keeper at all. He was brilliant that season.
Relegation certainly hasn't seen David Marshall tarnished.
Hamer and Elliott are hard to seperate in my opinion, both very good keepers. Especially as Elliott had the Doc, Llera and Fortune infront of him.
