Mark Crossley

[Beefy]

Best player in the division and the only reason why we didn't take three points yesterday. Collis had a good game yesterday and I still rate Flavs but oh to have a goalkeeper of Crossley's quality.

Oldham are a decent side with two players in Crossley & Lee Hughes shouldn't be playing in this division and they were the difference-makers on saturday.

 

[southend_united_fan]

i think carlisles goalkeeper was on a par

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

Yep, I thought Crossley and some fortunate goal line clearances helped them yesterday.

When I saw Crossleys name on the team sheet I wondered if we would struggle to score and alas we did.

 

[Beefy]

He was still playing Premiership football 18 months. Easy to see why. Did well at Sheffield Wednesday last season too.

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Twenty plus years experience in pro-football. Priceless.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

any other keeper in this league we would have easily won. he really did have a touch of class. could easily play at championship level.

 

[Pubey]

outstanding... to be honest i thought oldham were average across the park, except for hughes and crossley

 

[The Big Shrimp]

The reason we lost is because AB got caught out, by a quality striker.

The other reason is because a certain d!ckhead couldn't keep his gob shut after conceding a free kick & then later on tried to do a Peter Crouch. He did the same against Borient & cost us the game & probably cost us a point against a very ordinary team! In a word, he is a ****. A bl00dy good player, but ****.

I remember seeing Crossley play for Forest against Arsenal at Highbury about a good 12 years ago when i was a wee fella - can't believe he is still on the go!

 

[mattytheshrimper]

yeah when i went up to liverpool to see them play forrest he was in goal. was when owen scored his first goal and that must have been something like 10 years ago.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

I tend not to agree with all of this at all. Clarke rounded him very easily, and should have scored, and two goal line clearences, so Crossley should have conceeded at least 3, that did not go in through nothing he did

Pretty sure that was Wimbledon but there you go!

Yep, twas... Micky Owen's first goal v Wimbledon (or MK Dons as Soccerbase says!) on

06-05-1997 English Premier MK Dons 2-1 Liverpool

I wish I was in 1997 :(

 

[mattytheshrimper]

if thats when it was i would have been 11.

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

if thats when it was i would have been 11.

Yeah alright.....:p ;)

Some of us were slightly older than 11....:p

I thought Crossley was a decent keeper then, and yesterday he still showed he had class. I am still surprised we didnt score atleast 1 goal. And I dont believe Maccas sending off changed the game. Lets face it, it must be quite unusual for the team with an extra player to start time wasting even when they are winning. :p

 

[Kristof]

Crossley was excellent yesterday and stopped us getting a point or three, he was picked for the Team of The Week in the News Of The World.
