Simon moore....

[corkysbeard]

What an outstanding save he made in the first few minuets,if swindon score that it may well have been a different game,absolutely fantastic stop. Fair play to blades after that we totally dominated the game and could have scored 6,7 or even 8 goals....it's definitely not about the 11 that go on the pitch but as a squad everybody is pulling in the same direction,wilder and knill and the rest of the staff,take a bow because it's fantastic what's happening down at bdtbl.

Who's Simon Moore? Forgive my ignorance but i rarely see the ball cross our halfway line

He is that tall lad with the flask, sandwiches and newspaper, sat on that fold up chair in our goal, reading.

I think he works in the kiosk.

That blonde haired lad who sometimes leans against the goalpost drinking a water bottle while watching the match.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

They should give him a flag like the ball boys to wave when we score. Give him something to do.

 

[Ricky]

Good save but poor communication twice in the first half when he should have collected the ball, and he punched one out for a corner when it was already going out for a goal kick.

Other than that he had absolutely nothing to do.

Jesus, what an absolute stroll that was today.

 

[andy m]

Stealing a wage. Has fuck all to do for 89 minutes every game. PARASITE.

 

[SHOREHAMST.com]

Seen it once only - at the game. Obviously happy he saved it but looked straight at him to me.

 

[Slug]

Ahhhh so he's that prick who stands at one end of the pitch on his own whilst everyone else is up at the other end of the pitch?

I presumed that was Roygbiv the fucking weirdo

Yes that's him, the lad who looked bored today, stood in our goal, texting his mates

Both times he could be heard but both times the defenders went for safety as they weren't certain. A clean sheet shows everyone was right, but hey let's find a reason to have a go eh ?

Sorry, precious.

I'll give myself a slap on the wrist.

Keep up the good work Blades. Thanks for giving us our self belief back Tufty and all the team

 

[JohnDenver]

Given Moore's freedom to explore other interests during the match this afternoon, I was a bit surprised to see we only had 52% possession according to the BBC.

I presume in our lowly league, one syndicated statto bod does the numbers for all media outlets. And today they had Darren Deadman's glasses on.

 

[DifferentClass]

I think he works in the kiosk.

Unlike Long who's found gainful employment cleaning the Kop bogs.

 

[SwissBlade]

Another clean sheet yesterday, can't knock that

 

[Weasel]

The thing is with Moore is that whilst i dont think he is not without parts of his game where he could improve (coming off his line quicker and seeing impending through balls is the main area for me) he is a very good shot stopper and he has much promise. You have to remember he is only a young lad himself in his mid 20's and is still learning and improving.

I like him. He is a top keeper for league 1 level and his communication to his defenders helps enourmously. Its great to have a lad in the sticks who you can have confidence in again.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

It's not fair, Simon Moore gets to watch the game for nowt.

 

[B.Lade]

It's worse than that! They actually pay him to watch it!

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Is this him?

 

[blader]

Thought Wilder kept him on too long today, if I'm honest. Could have given Scougall a bit more of a run out. Lucky to get a full 90, in my opinion.

 

[snootyfenooty]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. He's the No.1 reason we are going up this year. We wouldn't have even dropped into this division let alone stayed in it for so long if it wasn't for the shit we've had between the sticks for the past 6 years.

That sounds like a euphemism for something that would be quite difficult to undertake with goalie gloves on.

Aye, it's hard to paint watercolours in those things...

 

[PeteBlade]

If you watch (or listen) to him throughout the game, he NEVER shuts up.

Constantly talking, directing, encouraging the team, even at 3 and 4 nil up.

Could have been our best signing of the close season imo.

 

[Linz]

If you watch (or listen) to him throughout the game, he NEVER shuts up.

Yeah, we said that on his first appearance and how reassuring it must be for defenders to feel like they have someone commanding behind them (ooo... Matron!)

A bit different to his predecessor.

Go on, stop being coy, you meant wanking. Go on, say it, I won't be offended...wanking, wanking, wanking! No eupfafuckingmisms here, it's wanking and will always remain so......stop tittering in the back row Foxy!

 

[Esablade]

Some nice saves at vital times today...I've composed him a little ditty from th bottom of my pint pot, some of you may recognise the tune:

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, Moores the best...


UTB!

Thought Foxy likes the gloves on?
