Arizona Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 In Soviet Russia, I think they'd build a monument to it. The one a minute before wasn't half bad either. Just thought it needed it's own thread. Up there with Blayney and Banks IMO.
Spades Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 what was it like? Didnt listen to it on the radio
Matthew Le God Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 "We didn't really cause the keeper any great concern." Dave Jones
Rusaldo Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 fantastic save. how he git down to it ill never know
Stanley Saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Got a standing ovation where I was (Kingsland). Don't see that too often...
saintjinksie Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 wasnt too far away from him, not the power that pele's had. decent save, but one for the cameras
JustMike Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 wasnt too far away from him, not the power that pele's had. decent save, but one for the cameras what!!! he was going the wrong way, and to even get a hand to it was an achievment. Top top save
Hopkins Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 If he hadn't made it I would have questioned why not. Great save but one alot of keepers would have made. Anyone got a video of that Blayney save by the way?
SoccerMom Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Kelvin was amazing today. Saw the saves at the Chapel end close up - REALLY hope that they show the Northam ones on the Championship tomorrow. Chance would be a fine thing, but really.... Oh yeah, so why do the photos of him in the programme get worse and worse and worse. In today's he looks like a smack addict. I guess they're trying to make him look hard, but puh-lease, Mr Editor, you're just making him look demented.
eurosaint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 thought it was average Christ, you're hard to please ! It was down my end of the Kingsland, I had a great view of it and I would class it as 'spectacular', particularly as he had just got up from making another good stop !
Saint_clark Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Best save i've ever seen. Carbon copy of the Banks save from Pele.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Christ, you're hard to please ! It was down my end of the Kingsland, I had a great view of it and I would class it as 'spectacular', particularly as he had just got up from making another good stop ! I've seen better.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Best save i've ever seen. Carbon copy of the Banks save from Pele. not quite! good reaction but Banks type it wasnt
Saint_clark Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 not quite! good reaction but Banks type it wasnt You'll be eating your words when you see it again (if they even show it on the Championship tomorrow). If it doesn't win save of the season it will be a travesty.
Ziggy Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Got a standing ovation where I was (Kingsland). Don't see that too often... Yes, me and my lad stood up to applaud in the Kingsland only for the miserable git behind us to tap my lad's shoulder to tell him to sit down ....
Toadhall Saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 You'll be eating your words when you see it again (if they even show it on the Championship tomorrow). If it doesn't win save of the season it will be a travesty. From where I was sat it was better than Banks as it was more central.
eurosaint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 I've seen better. Just as a matter of interest, where were you sitting ??
Bailey Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Can't believe some on here! Where were you looking? Davis' save was top draw and had it not been for him today, we'd all be typing away in frustration at not getting that much needed win. Today's result gives us a fighting chance. Lets hope we can get something from Ipswich and keep the momentum going.
adrian lord Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Just as a matter of interest, where were you sitting ?? On Bournemouth beach by the sound of it!
wightman35 Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 On Bournemouth beach by the sound of it! :):) Not very warm down there today, compared with SMS!
paulwantsapint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 was it 1 for the KD dvd 1001 saves in a season part2?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Just as a matter of interest, where were you sitting ?? Chapel! I can only comment on what I saw and obviously If i see it again I may change my mind? did happen very fast Dont get me wrong it looked a great save...... just not amazing and think ive seen many similar in the past. while i applauded the save I didnt think it was that awesome.
Iowsaintsfan Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Got a standing ovation where I was (Kingsland). Don't see that too often... Never seen so many blankets fall off laps all at once!
Legod Third Coming Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 You don't see a standing ovation for a save - ever. Until today.
Stoozer Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 It was an awesome save from where I was sitting (Itchen South). To call it average means either a) you are joking b) you are blind c) you are baiting or d) you are mental. Take your pick. Oh, and to say you've seen better doesn't make it average. It simply means it wasn't the best save in the world ever. I hope you're Joking OBS.
eurosaint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Chapel!

Hopefully we do get to see it again cos it often looks very different than in real time ! Who knows, you might well be right but at that moment I thought it was sublime !! Any which way, he kept it out and that's the main thing, 3 points and moving on up ! COYS.
Toomer Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 I sit close to the goal and IMO it could well have a match winning save.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 I sit close to the goal and IMO it could well have a match winning save. arent all saves?

Whitey Grandad Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 I've seen better. I thought he should have held it.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 I thought he should have held it. me too :roll:
Steeleye Saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Chapel!

Well if YOU think it was average we'll all have to agree andl bow to your seniority. By the way, did you forget to take your anti-depressant today?
Wes Tender Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Both Radios Hampshire and Solent were eulogising about it, making comparisons with the Bank's save from Pele. I wasn't at the game, but hope that it will be shown somewhere as it appears to have given us an extra two points. In all my time watching Saints, the best save I ever saw was by Niemi shortly after he arrived. The ball seemed to be heading to the top left corner and he was in the centre of the goal. Everybody thought that it was a certain goal and there were gasps when he leapt towards it and somehow miraculously tipped it round the post. I had never seen such athleticism from a goalkeeper before. This Davis save appears to be at least as good if not better, judging by all the fuss about it.

Its shown on numerous 'best goalkeeping saves ever' videos on youtube, id put a link but cant be bothered to sift through the videos until i find it edit: i had a little search and found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MalC_A3_z7g
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 I was right behind it and it was as good a save as I've seen in years , for a big man (not in the first flush of youth either) the speed of his reactions are extraordinary .
trousers Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 You don't see a standing ovation for a save - ever. Until today. Indeed. Hair on back of neck moment for me.
chi saint Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Im old enough to remember some superb saves both at the dell and elsewhere and truly this was top drawer, not only for the agility but for the fact he'd just moments earlier blocked a blistering shot.
thefuriousb Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 McCormack headed the ball down. It was very close to Davis (down towards his feet), giving him very little reaction time. Being so close it was not one of those "showy stops" where he could spring and push the ball away full length. To get down, adjust and push the ball out past the post from the middle of the goal was simply fantastic. I probably have seen better, but not many. However, it was fully deserving of the standing ovation and spurred players and fans on alike to put in a great shift. I therefore think it was more what the save symbollised as much as owt else. Then again, he has been regressing of late, hasn't he ;-)
IN MY DAY Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Never seen supporters rise up and applaud a save like that before, love to see it again but from were i was sat it was very worthy.
del boy Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 What was also amazing, as if the save wasnt enough, was that in the next move upfield we passed it around in a series of one touch moves that ended up with Euell having a blast from about 30 yds. Unfortunately it was straight at the keeper; if it had gone in it would have been a goal of the season contender. Straight after the Kelv save, when everyone around me was still giving him a standing ovation, it was a jaw dropping minute or so of football
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 All i can say is.....Brilliant.... Player of the season without any doubt...
S4INT Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Sounds awesome, hope they show it on the Championship. However, I remember Bialkowski making a save when we trashed Wolves 6-0 away which I thought was unbelievable, did anyone else see it / have a video? But apart from the infinite number of wonderful Niemi saves does anyone have the clip of that Blayney one that won save of the season?
Huffton Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 I was sat right behind it and anyone who says it wasn't the save of the season, and quite possibly KDs career, either knows f uck all about goalkeeping or is blind! He changed direction, got his hand virtually to the ground, the ball was behind him, he managed not only to stop the ball but to get enough on it to flick it to safety. He had absolutley no right to get anywhere near that ball. Incredible.
saint boggy Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Yes, me and my lad stood up to applaud in the Kingsland only for the miserable git behind us to tap my lad's shoulder to tell him to sit down .... :shock:........that's bloody unbelievable!!!! it was a FANTASTIC save and it 100% deserved that standing ovation that it got!!!
saintwarwick Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 :shock:........that's bloody unbelievable!!!! it was a FANTASTIC save and it 100% deserved that standing ovation that it got!!! Agreed a fantastic save and when you get a standing ovation for a save it must be special.
SFKA South Woodford Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 I remember a Paul Jones save from a Teddy Sheringham 3 yard whack in at Old Trafford in the 3-3 Taibi draw, which was a pretty damn special effort. No one could believe that he had kept it out. Unfortunately the bloody linesman was standing in front of me on Kelvin's save today, I saw the header, then nothing and then James helping it away round the post.
