The David Forde is the man Thread

@Rintintin has forgotten more than you know about goalkeeping.

Stick your fingers up your arse you piece of shit.

:eek:

:oops:

According to hunty in the paper today fordey is a great man for drinking coffee and having the chats with the gals.

And holding doors open.

What a gent:clap::clap:

Why was this thread bumped? What has Fordey done now?

This clownshoe has conceded 4 at Bradford this evening. Also got away with only a yellow card for punching a lad in the first half.

All the while Westwood is tearing up the Championship. Forde has the mobility of an OAP on Benzos and he goes down in installments.

I believe this is David Forde in goal for Millwall yesterday

I saw Westwood make a couple of great saves on the highlights on Saturday.

Thinking back on that Polish goal, was there a consensus that Forde or Westwood might have saved it?

Yes. Given leaned back and ended up sitting on his arse and dangling a leg and an arm at it. Westwood would have been nimble on his feet and dived across to tip in around the post. Not sure about Forde - he’s incredibly slow with terrible feet movement but he might have saved it by being out of position to begin with.

Fordey is the best Irish keeper around now. I’d trust the judgement of Trap on this.

Trap knew:clap:

I saw every game that Westwood played for Sunderland and he is a talented keeper but has several major flaws too. He’s a great shot stopper, capable of producing fantastic saves and he has done all through his career- for Carlisle, Coventry, Sunderland and now at Wednesday. I can’t speak for his flaws elsewhere but at Sunderland, he was very poor at commanding his box, aerially he’s not very strong, often seemed afraid he would get hurt and his decision-making in terms of coming off his line was very poor. Mignolet, Mannone and Pantilimon are/were all a level above.

Not that Forde is great either but he is generally pretty dominant from set-pieces which I think managers like. Westwood is clearly the better shot stopper.
