Turkish Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 Who were the hysterical tarts that claimed he should never play for this club again?

I wonder if the mugs in the chapel that were getting so upset after bottlegate were applauding his performance yesterday? Those Chapel wallies will be the lucky ones if we stay up. Were we to go down, their hounding out the side of Boruc, leading to Gazza gaffes vs Swansea, Norwich etc would be the primary reason for relegation.

Huffton Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 Niemi was excellent but IMO Boruc is our best keeper since Shilton, he's that good Dear god... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 He still looks a bit of a liability in that sometimes he gives the impression of day dreaming And faffing about . look at the scousers shot into the side netting at the end. Also there was a camera on him at one stage on sky last night . His stomach blubber was there to see through his grey shirt . Still a class keeper though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sanchez Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 I am happy to be wrong, I never wanted him in goal but his displays have been above of what I would of expected from this clown, he has saved us some points this season but to be fair thats a goalkeepers job. He has earned the right to wear the number 1 shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see the smirk on his face before Suarez started getting all eggy. That did make me laugh too. Have to say, I was delighted when we signed Boruc, but he's getting better and better and will be/is becoming a cult hero. I have some weird man-feelings towards him ...

It is, but the quick thinking makes it. Kelvin for example dithers for a few seconds before deciding what to do and by then players are marked. Boruc nearly picked out Shaw with a throw to the halfway line yesterday which if he had reached it would have almost put him through. Numerous times he started quick attacks. Slightly bizarrely he never ever kicks out of his hands and prefers to drop the ball and kick from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 It was only an observation I made . Didn't know he is 6.4 . But he's a bit more of a beer belly than I have and I'm not a professional footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringwood Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 Boruc is he left or right footed?, yes his kicking as in distribution might not be the best but the way he seems comfortable to clear his lines either left or right foot is a big bonus in the modern game. Also generally the ball tends to stick to him, unlike Hart, Cesar and the Muppet for Liverpool yesterday. He's more likely to catch than punch as well which kills the pressure on the team He takes decisions which currently our defence needs, and I think his sheer size when facing attackers makes them think twice, great keeper but not a Shilts or Agent Nemni but certainly the best since then other than maybe Richard Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 Blame the Chapel stand. No, the manager picks the team. If Adkins dropped him because of that incident (doubt very much he did) he is even more to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 Boruc wasn't picked earlier in the season as he simply wasn't playing well enough to deserve it. There has never been doubt about his ability and how good he was at previous clubs, but you pick players based on performance not history. Early in the season he made some terrible mistakes and looked uneasy and lacking in confidence. As well as he is playing now and as much as we all (I'm sure) hope he gets a longer-term deal, you can't simply re-write history and pretend this current form has been the norm all season.

Olallana Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 I think Boruc was in the same shape in november. He is not and never will be what you would say a "fit" guy. He´s got a big body and that serves him well. He needed time to get his legs going but that was probably there in november after two months of training. Equivalent to a preseason..... Adkins wanted too much that Gazza would be the answer when he realized KD isn´t at the same level in this league. Unfortunately that was a major mistake.

I did notice he played this game with his shirt loose and not tucked into his shorts in the regulation manner. Now he might just be a naturally scruffy type, but a suspicious person might suspect that was because he wanted to disguise a huge beer belly. They might think that - I couldn't possibly comment.

Deano6 Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 I'd just like to say I very much appreciated him reviving 2009's grey goalkeeper socks and breaking out last season's grey keeper shirt today as well. An unexpected bonus for my kit geekiness thanks presumably to Phil Dowd's refusal to let him wear all purple or (more sensibly) all black. Socks! ^^^^ I play in this kit every week (socks included). It's my favourite from the last few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
