Blimey, the rest of the Wimbledon team must be useless

George Long saved us twice. No one really performed other than Long.

Biggest plus point for me was George Long, that lad is the best keeper we've had by a country mile!

On this evidence he looks like being our best keeper since we entered the league and can only have a positive effect on our defence who already look more confident knowing they have someone behind them they can trust.

Also, we should have another chance to see George Long build on his excellent display against Watford.

 

[zablade]

Good luck to the lad.

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Good luck Jud

 

[TJB.]

I want £1,000,000 for him, right now.

Plz.

 

[Snowman]

Had he been in no mans land for the Boro goal and had he failed to come for the 1st Cardiff goal, then he no doubt would have been getting pelters. I hope he's enjoying his football without too much pressure.

Blackman was not at any fault for the two goals last night and if Long had been in goal as much as I don't rate him I would say the same.

I also belive if Long had been in goal against Brentford we would have no points now.

I don't think you quite understand his point, HG!

 

[zablade]

No understand his point, it was Long would get the blame for goals that were not his fault. Which he wouldn't from me.

The point is if he had been playing there would have been ample opportunity to blame him for goals that would be his fault.

 

[DifferentClass]

Good luck to the lad.

UTB.

Correct

 

[Harry's Game]

My point is, as ever, George would be better running a flower shop than trying to forge a career as a goalkeeper, its why I call him the florist.

True but the reason he got hammered for goals that weren't his fault was because of all of the goals he let in that were his fault.

I think that boat's sailed HG.
He's already forged a career as a goalkeeper earning far more than he would as a florist.
It's impossible to say how long or how much further his career will develop, but a career he has.

 

[LenTednTony]

Personally, I think George Long is a better keeper than some give him credit for. Yes he has made ricks but so do a lot of keepers. We, as fans, IMO, are sometimes less benevolent than other teams fans. Go on now, I've got mi tin 'at on.

No pal, you didn't quite understand snowmans point is what I said. I understood yours and agree with some of what you said but he is and will be a professional GK for years to come.

 

[8lade]

The Florist... am I the only one that doesn't get the joke?

 

[BigBed]

All the best to him, deserves abit of good fortune.

 

[1889]

The Florist... am I the only one that doesn't get the joke?

No

 

[Bladesman]

Good luck to the lad.

 

[Davalon]

No ill towards the lad and I hope he gets his career back on track.

However we undoubtedly did the right thing bringing in Moore.

Without a question. GK is a confidence position and when you drop one at a team with a good number of fans they don't tend to let you forget it so then you drop a 2nd and a 3rd and a 4th next thing you know you're the scape goat and turfed out to AFC Wimbledon .best move for everyone involved hope he finds his way to the top again.

His career will blossom then?

Why is there a campaign to slag George Long even when he is not playing for us and gets man of the match
award. He has been made a scapegoat for a couple of underpar performances over 12 months ago.Let the lad get on with his career and stop hating him ffs

These are all just irrelevant words and name calling on a message board, and don't matter.
Some of the stuff that was shouted at him by his own fans was an absolute disgrace.

 

[northsomersetblade]

Good for him. Got thrown in at the deep end by us when the ship was sinking and then got the blame for not seeing the iceberg

 

[Inter_blade83]

Two words spring to mind when I think of George Long...

Gillingham away

 

[Bladesway]

No pal, you didn't quite understand snowmans point is what I said. I understood yours and agree with some of what you said but he is and will be a professional GK for years to come.

Possibly make more of a career out of it than those criticising.

Shows how ignorant some of our fans are.
