golfpunk Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Rooney likes to think he's a decent keeper. He sometimes trains in goal at Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenal_2111 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was thinking Rio Ferdinand, didn't he play quite well for Utd when he went in goal for them once (great game, four different keepers ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Shea went in against Tottenham and saved a 1 on 1 with compatriot Robbie Keane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Shanahan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Rio went in against Pompey and failed to save a pen. O'Shea went in against Tottenham and saved a 1 on 1 with compatriot Robbie Keane But O'Shea can play everywhere, remember a few years ago he had the best strike rate in the league 100% shots to goals.

AlexNFFC Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I like it when outfield players have to go in goal. I know Rooney fancies himself as a bit of a keeper, and I think John O'Shea is meant to be quite good. I remember when Phil Jagielka played for Sheffield United, he had to go in goal against Arsenal...this is off his Wikipedia: In a home match against Arsenal on 30 December 2006, due to a thigh injury to starting goalkeeper Paddy Kenny and with his team 1-0 up, Jagielka was forced to play in goal for the remainder of the match. Arsenal were kept at bay for the remaining thirty-four minutes and Jagielka's late save from Robin van Persie secured the 1-0 victory. His ability to deputise in goal meant that Neil Warnock was able to, and usually did, do without a substitute goalkeeper on the bench. Any other good outfield 'goalkeepers'?

SCIAG Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Pfft, Warnock would rather have put a striker in goal- he always check how good they were before he signed them. Jagielka was third choice They tend to be terrible tbh. Millwall used three goalkeepers at the Madejski. Their first was sent off for handball at 1-0. They had no sub on the bench. The second let in three before half time. In the second half, they brought on one of their outfield subs to go in goal. He only let in 1, and it finished 5-0.

BigBeast Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The reason for the OP's result was due it not being run on full-detail by the looks of it, as the report button is greyed out. Often in matches that aren't run in detail, goalkeepers seem to get a lot of bookings and injuries strangely enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushers82 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 "Any other good outfield 'goalkeepers'?" Matt Taylor, centre back at Exeter City used to actually be a goalkeeper in the early part of his career and only became an outfield player in his early twenties. Think he played in goal for Burscough in the FA Trophy final a few years back. In reflection of this, his GK rating probably should be a lot higher than it is in the game.

Martin_ Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Andorra has more than double the population of Liechtenstein and since there's no goalkeeper excuse I'd say the second one is worse. But losing to the jocks is worst of all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
