I accept he was a major force at Aberdeen, that is way Ferguson took him to Man Utd., but he lost the plot there for some strange reason. His confidence was shattered and he lost the ability to play at the top club level. i seem to remember he still had a few National games afterwards.

Sensible enough for ye?

Always thought Jim Leighton was a good keeper

now your talking sense

we now have Rab Douglas in goal for us, along with half of last season's Scottish league squads (Maybury, DeVries, Stephen Hughes, Hamill, Kisnorbo, Momo Sylla et cetc)

Rab Douglas is awful too, considering he is a current international goalkeeper

[Ironside]

rab douglas inst the current scottish goalie colin gordon is

rab douglas was a fine goalie untill he was injuried and has never regained his form

Fast forward to 2006 - it is just before Scotland v Brazil at the next World Cup Group game. Ronaldo goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his teammates looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Scotland. They're sh*te and we can't be bothered".

Ronaldo looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."

So Ronaldo goes out to play Scotland by himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few jars.

After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "Brazil 1 - Scotland 0 (Ronaldo 10minutes)". He is beating Scotland all by himself!

Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on.

"Result from the Stadium "Brazil 1 (Ronaldo 10 minutes) - Scotland 1 (Angus 89 minutes)".

They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against Scotland!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands.

He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down."

"Don't be daft, you got a draw against Scotland, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!"

"No, No, I have, I've let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes"

it would have been funny but scotland wont be in the 2006 world cup cause some idiot of a german cant beat norway moldova or slovinea

I could be wrong, but I believe Douglas was the starting goalkeeper in the recent friendly


Anyway, Ironside is clearly delusional.

[Ironside]

douglas was the sub goalie in the recent friendly cam on at half time and made 2 huge errors throwing away our 2 goal lead

fact is douglas is 3rd choice goalie at best for scotland
behind gordon,marshall and more than likely gallaghar and alexendar

[Ironside]

thats colin gordon and david marshal not gordon marshall who should never ever wear a goal keeping jersey for any major team

[tikay]

...and the title of this thread? "English Football". Don't you just love to ruffle the feathers of the wee Scots?

Touched a raw nerve with Iron, methinks......

[Ironside]

nope they just have there facts wrong

[TightEnd]

thats colin gordon and david marshal not gordon marshall who should never ever wear a goal keeping jersey for any major team

Ironside I stand corrected on the recent friendly

He's rubbish though.


Great tradition of goalkeepers at Leicester....Banks, Shilton, and more recently Flowers, Hoult, Walker....and Douglas...Just marvellous
