Well...that didn't go as well as you expected Rayleigh boy .......back to the "thinking out aloud board" for you :winking:

more like two minutes on the naughty step...

When was the last time you saw a keeper wear a cap

Joe Hart always wore one when the sun was going to be an issue. Just saying.

Think the opening post is a candidate for worst post of the year on sz

And my god he's up against some stiff opposition!

Agree with the post, if we had lost this game (we didn't and was a great performance etc) everyone would of been moaning at Ted saying he cost us the goal etc, just because we won doesn't mean we can not highlight his mistake. He has looked poor coming for crosses since his started playing and doesn't install me with much confidence when the ball is in the air.

Yes we won, but it still should be highlighted

 

[AndyT]

Actually think he's been very good from crosses and off his line, in general. He's much improved.

Got some great punches in from crosses and handling has been good.

The biggest compliment is that people are highlighting the odd error, sometimes wrongly in my view, which means his general keeping is a massive boost for the side.

But it was Anton Ferdinand's fault, Ted had it covered until Ferdinand inexplicably beat him to the ball and headed it towards our own goal. The worst you can say of Ted is that he should have shouted for it (assuming he didn't, Anton might have just not heard).

Jewish ones maybe

Or females.

 

[OldBlueLady]

All Ted's "walming" up would have been at the South end, he would have expected us to start at our regular South end for the 1st half. He had no opportunity to gauge where the sun would be - maybe the GK coaching team might have (or indeed, may have) suggested it to him?

 

[CyrilSneer]

When was the last time you saw a keeper wear a cap, or was today the first time the sun has even shone towards the North Bank?

I think it was Bruce Grobbelaar, but Graeme Sharp smashed it over him anyway

 

[Cockle43]

Surely they would wear a kippah. :winking:

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Surely they would wear a kippah. :winking:

Sounds fishy

 

[Cockle43]

It was a misjudgement by Ted...he will make others...... doubt he will blame the entirely predictable position of the sun that has been in the same place at the same time for the last 50 years...he is good keeper who will become a very very good one

Considerably longer than that I would say, it's just Roots Hall that's been in the same position for the last 60 years.:smile:

Don't be so ignorant. It's blindingly obvious the entire universe revolves around Roots Hall.

 

[ChalkwellShrimper]

that Ted should have been advised to wear a cap with a peak to combat the low sun.......

really a mark down on goalkeeeping coach and coaching staff......

that said it look as if their goal was down to Antons poor header - maybe he lacked confidence in Ted or Ted lacked the confidence to call - but goalkeepers wearing a cap to counter sun was in all those old time coaching books -

Yeah, we could have had a handover of the cap like this...:smile:

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Hey ho just take it as a learning curve.....SZ can be quite "in yer face" :winking:

 

[rigsby]

Do you not feel that the player should request/ demand the necessary equipment he needs to fulfill his role?

So should grounds man.

Yes seen caps loads of times, if he did see that ball he should have commanded, punched it away.

spot on, too many don't back it with facts on here...

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I think it's more an error of judgement, and misunderstanding with Ferdinand, rather than the sun or a cap. Apparently, they both held their hands up to it at half time. It's one of Ted's weaknesses. He's done it before a few times, sometimes he doesn't come out and punch when it's blatantly the obvious thing to do. He will learn as he gains more experience.
