Dirk Diggler Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thought he had made a cracking save just before Caldwell scored although have not seen it on the TV. Was unfortunate that his punch landed right at Maloney, he got height and distance on it and it was a top, top finish. I thought he was solid.

Darren Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I don't think you can really point the finger at any Hearts player for Celtic's first. It was a pretty good punch; sometimes you just have to accept a moment of class and Maloney's finish was, sadly, sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboy81 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Not sure if I should 'dignify this thread with a reply', but I didn't think he was to blame for either goal today. He was at fault for both goals! The first one he punched straight out into the danger area and the second one he stood rooted to the spot while the ball dropped in the 6 yard box. As well as that his kicking is pish and he seems to fumble the ball an awful lot. Remind me again why we dropped the steady, reliable Steve Banks?

As well as that his kicking is pish and he seems to fumble the ball an awful lot. Remind me again why we dropped the steady, reliable Steve Banks? I have posted threads suggesting that signing the extra 2 goalies and goalie coach at a time when we had 4 keepers with first team squad experience available was not the most sensible of strategies. Nor do I think Balogh looks anything special. But he wasn't our worst player today, and didn't cost us the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just punch the ball out into the middle of the park 30 yards out. Thats not good goalkeeping! Punch it to the halfway line to give you time to get back in your goal. Punch it out for a throw in. Do not tee it up for someone to knock it into the empty net when your left standing in the D like a f-nny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not tee it up for someone to knock it into the empty net when your left standing in the D like a f-nny. There was me thinking a thirty-yard punch was really quite far, but not for us hearts fans with our high expectations of our super-human goalkeepers. If you have ever seen a keeper punch the ball to the halfway line from his six yard line please do inform me, as I have yet to, or think I ever will, see that. We need to stop having these unreal expectations of average hearts players, the guy didn't do anything wrong at all with that goal, it was just a sublime first-time finish that one out of every thousand will fly into the top corner. ( As gutted as I was ) it sat really kindly for him and he showed great technique, he didn't just knock it into an empty net. Maybe in your spare-time you should get one of your mates to cross a ball to you and you try punch it more than ten yards, let alone thirty, and thats without the crowd of players to get through in the first place.

Gambo Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 The only thing is his afternoon that I question was the need to come for the cross which ended with the Maloney strike. Unfortunately our centre halves have shown over the last few seasons that they are not up to the task of commanding the box and heading clear balls into the box like that, it normally ends up more often than not with a header on goal, so our goalies have to gamble on coming out for the ball.

Johanes de Silentio Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Made a great save right before Caldwell's clear handball for the 2nd goal. I thought it was an ok punch for the first. I'm also wondering if he was impeded by a Celtic striker as Maloney's shot came in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 it's ludicrous to blame balogh for the 1st goal, truly ludicrous. the, normally, safe option there was to punch and he got good distance on it. it just so happens it fell straight to maloney and he came up with some finish. if balogh had came for that ball to collect and dropped it, and celtic had scored, the same people would no doubt be slating him for that.

Acey Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 In what way are any of these keepers better than Banks? Assuming the objective is to stop the other team scoring. Kello's command of his area is 5x better than Banks'. His distribution is miles ahead, too. It's unfair to judge him on the Hibs game (where he took a head knock serious enough to have him subbed off). Btw, I'd love to see you try to punch a cross (that you're stretching to get to) to the half way line. It's not easy, you mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can get 2 hands on to it to punch he could use his hands like proper goalies do and catch it! Make no question about it he sold the first goal!

It is all if's and but's but no way was defeat down to Balloch. We got lucky with Gordon and thefact for a few years, we had an exceptional keeper, but he has left and we will have to get on with what we have.
