I love that you have to eat your words. I was called many things for sticking with Boruc. But hey, noone can be right all the time :)

 

In my defence, I had him as first choice of our current 3 keepers; I just genuinely didn't see him as a long term option and thought we really needed to bring someone in. Long way to go yet, but he's looking like a different player to his earlier games. Hats off to the loony.

A player of his standard simply doesn't lose his class. That's why I never doubted him.

Hi there! Polish fan here. I've decided to join the message board after reading the previous discussion about Boruc (whatever happened to it?). I don't know how much Southampton fans know about Boruc but he is not where he is accidentally. To say that Gazzaniga or even Davis are better or equal to him is a complete misunderstanding. Gazza may one day be better but there's a long way to go as of yet. Boruc was fantastic for Celtic (apart from a short period when he was out of form, due to personal issues) and then went to Fiorentina where he won competition with one Sebastien Frey, who was one of the top keepers in Serie A. It always started slowly for Boruc, he had to fight for his place also with Marshall at Celtic, but once he got the shirt he never surrendered it. He has achieved a lot in his career and unless he's lost it (which of course may have happened but it doesn't seem so, so far), then you've got a top class keeper on your books.

 

Also good luck for the rest of the season. You're good enough to stay up and at least you try to play football unlike the team that I support in England (Wolves).

In fairness, I don't recall too many people saying that. Simply that, while Boruc was the best available keeper we had, he had previously done little for us to suggest that he would be a consistent top performer and that it would be a good idea for us to go out and buy a new keeper. SFC's persistence with Gazzaniga and Davis was ludicrous, really.

Dude.. A lot and I mean a lot of people said Gazza was better, calling Boruc fat and whatnot.. Same with Davis, he was better because Boruc had lost his skills.

He was painted into this horrific GK on here, when in reality he did nothing wrong. He upset a few fans in the Chapel and all hell broke lose, and all of a sudden he's the worst GK in history.

 

The fact was, and still is, that he's our best GK by a mile and given a run in the team, he was always going to demonstrate his qualities.

Because saints fans are idiots. Yes idiots. Alot of fans judge when they really know NOTHING about football.

Not all of them, but some. Like the people who boo'd him!

I'm furious with these fans and I hope Boruc will stay with ut, because he might leave because of the treatment he's recieved.

He was playing **** and not fit. Credit to him he has started to turn it round and looked very assured tonight other than a couple of poor kicks. Great shot stopping and throws.

 

^ this quote makes my point. He didn't play like ****, he played decent. He was also almost fit. ASDSLKEDFJKRLFJ

I thought he played ok but did nothing amazing, he did not have much to do and thats down to either our defence or Everton's lack of guile/effort at breaking us down.

 

And here we have another guy who shows off his football knowledge.
