tommy forecast

[simyid]

at 198cm (dno how many feet that is i think aroun 6 foot 7) tommy is the 2nd tallset player in the prem behind isaksson of man city maybe we should give him a go

 

[epfou1]

What? Just beccause he's 6'6" we should play him?

Maybe spurs should sign Yao Ming to play in goal

 

[C0YS]

we should play him, after all isaksson has set the world alight with his great saves at Man city....:-|

 

[stevenurse]

no he isnt, Ive known him my whole life, went to school with him, lived in the same town, played in the same school team. He is not 6 ft 7.

 

[carrickature]

198cm is just under 6'6, as 2M is 6'6. that sound about right steve, or was simyid incorrect in his height in the first place?

 

[guy]

so he's 6'5 & 1/5" then. Im from Australia we use the metric system!

 

[chinaman]

6'3" or 6'4", I think is the optimum height for a goalie. Taller than that, there may be some difficulty with ground shots.

 

[Kyras]

6'3" or 6'4", I think is the optimum height for a goalie. Taller than that, there may be some difficulty with ground shots.

I would agree traditionally, but nowadays with more athletic keepers, I think some shorter keepers with great agility are good in the air as well. Height is less of an issue now.

 

[PT]

Just get Robbo a ladder.

 

[Kendall]

You are a stat machine!!!

did you just get 'the big book of thfc stats' for your birthday?


Finally a rival to SS57

 

[paulspur]

He is so so so bad, no way

have you ever seen him play? or basing your oppinion on him from his height?

 

[Teemu]

Peter Crouch is taller than him, so, erm, guys, I think we've found ourselves a new goalkeeping target!

Sign Ming the Merciless :up:

 

[eddiebailey]

I don't claim to be any judge of keepers, but I have never seen him do much wrong.

My understanding is that he is player whom it is felt has made much better progress than expected. At any rate with Robbo injured, we have not bothered recalling Alnwick or the highly rated Button, so the club must have some confidence him.

 

[DoublePivot]

Just get Robbo a ladder.

You mean a forklift.

 

[chinaman]

You mean a forklift.

A trampoline might help.

 

[Teemu]

A trampoline might help.

Wouldn't the opposition just be able to shoot under the trampoline in that case? With Robbo bouncing around on top he'd have no chance. Terrible idea. You're fired.

 

[Yid-ol]

why not just send Robbo to get some work experience as a bricky, he could not only build a wall in the goals, but also then be able to set up the wall better at free kicks :up:

 

[Teemu]

he could...also then be bale

That's a great call, if Robbo becomes Bale, we could play Bale#1 at LB with Bale#2 at LM, and all our problems will be solved!
