McNulty trying to be Vanilla Ice.

I've done a bit of boxing (kick boxing) myself, and McNulty, surprisingly, is the only one that actually looks like he know's what he doing!!!

To be fair to the others their bags look far too light; you need good footwork and a bit of experience to hit a moving bag!!

Isn't bare-knuckle taught from infant school in P.E for most of Scotland?

To be fair we don't need our footballer with strong wrists unless they're goal keepers. Oh..crap!

McNulty has a bit of a glass jaw, doesn't he?

If you think George Long is limp wristed then it's a good job Simonsen isn't still here (thinking about it on a number of levels it's a good job he's still not here) - I still have nightmares about Simonsen's limit wristed effort in the last minute at Orient 5 years ago (thinking about it FIVE years ago and still in this tinpot division!) when he gifted them the equaliser. Thinking about, again, with the number of ricks Simonsen dropped in 11/12, if we'd have had a decent keeper that season we'd have walked top 2.

It's all changed a bit since I were boxing....

That's the problem with some clubs/managers. They have a blind spot about what a proper keeper looks like and can bring to a team. Who was it who got a couple of them in and sacked one off at half time and the other a couple of games later? That's proper decision making, but it still shows he hadn't a clue what he was bringing in. Simmonsen, Howard and Long have all had their critics and yet you still get some saying, "it's not important, we have other priorities". Yeah right. Simmonsen cost us two seasons in League One because no one in "authority" would grasp the nettle and admit he was shit. It's a specialist position. It needs a specialist with certain qualities. Not just a lad who can stop shots. Rant over from a member of the Union.

A good keeper is just as vital as having a 25 goal a season man, in terms of the number of points they can save over the course of a season.

Over the years i have seen us have some great keepers. I've also seen every great keeper we have been blessed with make some proper howlers as well, it is just they was only occasional howlers, i thought Simonsen always looked technically decent, he wasn't generally that bad on crosses and his shot stopping used to be good and he made some great stops, but his howlers were all too frequent and cost us too much.

I thought Mark Howard on his day looked a very good keeper, but he seemed to have a lack of height and struggled with anything from distance.

George Long for the is still very much a work in progress, i think his progress has been hindered a lot by consistently having to defend behind a poor back four, and he has had to develop in front of the eyes of 18,000 every week where everything he has done has been under intense scrutiny, and he has not been able to learn his trade away from the spotlight. I see a lot of potential in George Long as he does have the makings of a very good keeper, and keepers are notoriously late developers, but this season will be very much a make or break season for him.

Think people are very unfair on Long. Number of games last season he made great saves to save us a point or even more importantly three were many. When you have the shower of shit in front of you he has as well, you start hamstrung in any case.
