SuperMikey Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 Wasn't he described in our OS news story about him signing as "a future England international"? Can't seem to find the article, but if somebody could dig that up I quite fancy a laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pahars_Legend Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 What I find is that the club seem to share the same views as the fans and with good reasoning! The only info on the saints site about the move is a sentence at the bottom of the article about a completely different player. Whenever I have seen images or videos of the players training, Tommy is never seen even when Bart/Davis are present. Despite Forecast being fully fit we still didn't rely on him and got Shea on loan from Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 People are assuming he's going to be their No.1 Keeper. or even a keeper. Could be on the turnstiles or flipping burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint 76er Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 The incident at Eastleigh probably precluded this and it must tell Fourpast all he needs to know about his standing at SMS as the gap between the NPC and Thurrock is huge. This would appear to be something of a banishment as there is nothing in it for Saints other than getting him out of the way, even though it leaves us short of a third choice keeper and bearing in mind Saints will still be paying his alleged 4k wages (cos Thurrock certainly won't be!). In L1 we seemed to run into endless keepers in top form, surely one of those could be recruited for the third keeper spot with a view to future advancement?

Golden Balls Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 Also all the stories about him "hitting a girl because some lads heckled him" - yeah I'm sure that's true, bet he's been arrested for it as well? Sorry to disappoint you, but it is true. I witnessed it and it was COMPLETELY unprovoked (by her...he did just get knocked to the floor by someone half his size) It happened after the Walsall game outside 90 degrees. He was giving it the large one inside and starting on everyone who dared make eye contact. Soon enough, he got a smack. He then reacted by hitting a girl next to him who was probably laughing. Everyone had their name taken as witnesses. No idea why it wasn't followed up, guessing she didn't press charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 I think for most people it has something to do with the fact he lamped some girl in a bar in town for no other reason that some lads were heckling him (and rightly so).

captainchris Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 I've seen him play and he didn't look that bad - what have you been expecting to see from a 3rd choice keeper for a third division side for the last couple of years? Also all the stories about him "hitting a girl because some lads heckled him" - yeah I'm sure that's true, bet he's been arrested for it as well? Whereas Barnard is still lauded as a hero by many on here? I couldn't care less about Forecast, he might be a bit of a knob, probably gets paid a bit more than he should and obviously isn't exactly the best keeper in the world, but why do we have to have a thread about him each week on here? The league we were in is a total red herring and I believe anyway we wern't in that league when he joined us - not that it makes the slightest difference........

cellone Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 If He is half as bad as some say (moral conduct and football skills wise) let's hope he finds a place in other parts where his skill and conduct can be better honed (quickly) and stays there.

hughieslastminutegoal Posted 12 August, 2011 Share Posted 12 August, 2011 No, the being a complete ***** thing is separate. Forgetting that, he is so bad it's actually worth trying to see him play. I've seen him beaten by painfully slow shots, fumble the ball with no-one in sight, save shots that were going 10 metres wide, leave 90% of the goal open when closing down an attacker, and genuinely look scared of the ball coming towards him. Can't catch, can't dive and can't kick. Perhaps he's helped himself to too much from behind the bar and has lost whatever talent he had? If not, did we sign him without having seen him play at all? If so, one can only assume that somehow we discounted his 4 year wages against what we were paid, which begs the question: did Spurs pay over the odds in order to do TF a favour? If they just wanted him off their books, they'd probably have been better off getting rid themselves, rather than pay us to give him a four year contract. Or maybe they just saw us coming.

Littlelat17 Posted 13 August, 2011 Share Posted 13 August, 2011 Well believe it or not, Forepast was only beaten once in a 1-1 draw on his debut - and he saved a penalty at 0-0. Early on he flapped at a couple of crosses and elected to (try and) punch, his goalkicks throughout were more suited to rugby as he found touch more often than not! Other than that he had mostly comfortable shots to gather and he had no chance with the Salisbury goal. He may have found his level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the lad a chance, he's not match fit yet. ;-) Although I'm no fan of hounding players out who's only actual crime is not living up to expectations, the wages thing is 100% NOT his fault and only a fool would walk away from 4k a week. Having said that, I would love to be behind his gaol and do the 'ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you're ****' if he ever visits sms as an opposing player. Are Thurrock in the FA Cup still?

Thedelldays Posted 21 August, 2011 Share Posted 21 August, 2011 I honestly think he may be the worst culprit in the earnings/quality ratio. I know a lot of top flight players get huge wages and some aren't that great, but they're clearly decent professional sportsmen. It's a completely different trick to have zero ability and earn a 6 figure salary. stop being such a tart.... we have had countless players of the years, probably more than likely, should imagine earning more than forecast who were not fit for purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976_Child Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 (edited) I remember a lot of people on here slagging off KD for being a 'sh-t keeper' when he first joined. Forecast is doing his job, doing all that is asked of him under his contract and I guess that there is some serious sour grapes to be sucked by the infantile delusional brigade on this board who like to 'big themselves up' by pretending they know the character of someone because their mate's aunty's dog walker happened to over hear something in a bar one night.. Some folk on this board are really pathetic. Leave Forecast alone and get a life, all of you. Because he has a life, and is being paid handsomely for it unlike most of you losers who are probably stuck in dead-end jobs with no prospects. Ha! Ha! The last laugh is on you! Losers.
