I remember Juan Sebastian Veron ohhh he was shite and they managed to con Chelski into taking him and he was still shite
I remember Juan Sebastian Veron ohhh he was shite and they managed to con Chelski into taking him and he was still shiteSome Manchester United signings have turned out poor in the last few seasons and cost a hell of a lot more money. It's why you can't build a decent squad in one or two transfer windows.
Well said.Yes he did but both (especially the one from stokes) you would be expecting any professional keeper to make. If burge had let either of them in he would be crucified by some on here. Also I believe the keeper was slow to react to mcnulty’s shot for the goal.
I’m certainly not saying burge is the best keeper in the world but he has improved and is probably as good as any keeper in L2. I think some of the criticism of him is a left over from last season (and before)...when playing behind a poor defence with neither defence or keeper instilling confidence in each other.

Have you not been watching him for the last 3-4 seasons that have been littered with mistakes and costly errors? Reason he looks "better" this season is the level we are at and a half decent defence protecting him. Had nothing to do last night but conceded a goal.
I'll tell you what though, he more often than not kicks the ball from outside his penalty area and is definitely overstepping the mark.Burge seemed to be under instructions to make big up and under kicks from out his hand and they quite effective , the goal even came from one.
I’m a big fan of this tactic , as if you watch goals back there are far more goals scored this way than from seeing a keeper roll the ball out to a centre half.
The only ever card I got was a red card! Ref gave a free kick against me for the exact thing. I said your having a laugh ain't ya? He said it's the 3rd time you've done it but I let the 1st 2 times go, so I rared up at him as if I've done it 2 times already why is this the first free kick, a free kick is a free kick a hand ball a hand ball etc etc and called him a c**t. He then proved he was a c**t by sending me off!I'll tell you what though, he more often than not kicks the ball from outside his penalty area and is definitely overstepping the mark.
If he's not careful he's going to give a free kick away in very dangerous territory.
I didn't notice it at first, but Clive Eakin commented on it and since then I have been keeping an eye on it and he is definitely pushing his luck. Ball still in hand and then kicking it over the line.

He's not been lately though. Clive Eakin picked up on it.Bloke behind me goes on about this every time don’t think he gets the fact he lets go of it in the area
To be fair I’ve only seen Pickford do that once, whereas Burge......,,If Jordan Pickford is worth £30,000,000, then Burge has to be £30,000,001 Atleast!
Hands outside the box. He’s always done it.Whole of the ball
And not wishing to diss the bloke, but he has had a very, very strong back four in front of him that has offered a lot of protectionI've more faith in Burge than I did but he still scares the life out of me at times.
Pulled off some fantastic saves this season.

We had some games where the opposition didn't even have a shot on target.This is very true, he's played his part in a sold defensive unit but he will of likely faced less shots this season than half of last year.
Let's hope he's in Wembley form today

We have Premiership level officials today.
Am I the only one who's bothered about that because I think they like to stamp their authority on lower league clubs?
Or Tuesday and Wednesday nights either.We always get the raw end of the deal on a Saturday (or Friday nights) so no change, plus we're not that bad as a side for foul play.
We've sold the entire defence??? FFS!!!This is very true, he's played his part in a sold defensive unit but he will of likely faced less shots this season than half of last year.

I was always a critic of Burge, and still think we should have kept RCC rather than signed O Brian.
However, Burge has improved massively in the last 3 years. It used to be that pretty much every kick would either go straight out of play or be poor and put us under pressure. Now he often has games where he doesn't miss-kick once!
Made some really good saves so far this year, and less mistakes too.

I’ve never rated Pickford. Was poor for Sunderland in a poor Sunderland team that got relegated then somehow managed to gain that move? No idea how His agent pulled that one off!
That’s two Irish Sky Blues and one half Irish Sky Blue. It’s getting crowded on here!I was always a critic of Burge, and still think we should have kept RCC rather than signed O Brian.

Which is what I said about Burge in the summer. Was awful last season(and how many seasons before that?) in a relegation team and yet was still retained by the club. Baffling to me.I’ve never rated Pickford. Was poor for Sunderland in a poor Sunderland team that got relegated then somehow managed to gain that move? No idea how His agent pulled that one off!

And people just continue to ignore what I am saying. He couldn’t do it in L1 (he’s not alone by the way) so if we want to progress and go forward (if we manage to go up) he again will be out of his depth.He has just about found his level in league 2 although the way idiots like Linnell go on the prem must be calling him.
Should entitle you to an Irish passport I think!I went to Dublin for a weekend once, am I in?
Would it help if I bought a flute?Should entitle you to an Irish passport I think!
