  • Thanks, Ben, and good luck. Well done for escaping our basket case football club.
  • 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 .
  • 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.
  • He didn't make "a few too many", he made no more mistakes than an average keeper would.

    I'd argue that he had to save our bacon one too many times in that case!

    We could have been in deep trouble had it not been for Hamer's form towards the end of the season. I think that's easily forgotten sometimes.

    Hamer won us far more points than he cost us, all the best to him.

    Better he makes a fumble mistake now in a friendly than the 3rd round of the Captial One Cup.

    Unless that 3rd Round tie is against Charlton Athletic ;)

    i ll second that

    as somone else said our best keeper since deano

  • Move on

    Agree, glad he has
  • 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.

    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 - POTY so automatically wins surely.

    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.

    I see you omitted Thuram from that list :-0
  • Let's not get silly. I nearly added Tony Warner though

    Carson - relegated from Prem

    I agree with you in most Tom, apart from that statement.

    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.
  • Let's not forget Carson had Traore in front of him and we would have been relegated by Xmas had it not been for Carson.

    You started it :-)
  • No love for Weaver?

    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.
