    England haven't had a top level goalkeeper since Shilton and Woods.

    Seaman, Robinson and Hart all had their moments but equally their shares of complete disasters. Pickford is currently in the same vein.

    Then there are all the fillers in between; Flowers, Walker, Martyn, James, Foster, Carson, Green etc etc.

    It's been England's weakest position almost three decades now, unless you count manager. Though you can't anymore because I think Southgate is actually a good national manager. I think he'd be pish at a club, but he has been involved with England now for ages, and has had strong and lasting influence on the youth setup and teams prior to being the full England manager. Any success England get in the near future are almost entirely down to that one man.

    For me Goram was the best British goalie, but the second best goalie in Britain (after Schmeichel) for a good few seasons.

    Goram was clearly better than Seaman for me. Fewer mistakes and a better shot stopper.

    This is where my feeling is at too. Schmeichel in my opinion is still the best keeper of all time (so far). Seaman can get tae fuck.

    Best keeper in Britain and best British keeper, yes, at times in the 90s - 92/93 comes straight to mind, probably other times too. At this peak I'd have put him above Seaman and Schmeichel for example, although at least Schmeichel was better over their respective careers.

    Well. Okay we have a viable discussion here. I mean from 1994 onwards I would have said I'd have taken Schmeichel in a heartbeat. The early 90's though is where my football knowledge runs a bit dry, the only team I watched or knew anything about prior to the mid-90's was The Rangers - so my knowledge of other keepers in the early 90's is limited.

    Who are the contenders for best keeper in Britain from 1991-1994?

    My instinct is that Goram was arguably the best keeper in Britain and maybe even Europe at one time, while I don't think you could say the same about McGregor,

    Interesting, let us explore that a little bit. At what "one time" was he the best keeper in Britain, and do you mean the best British keeper? If you mean the latter, can you say what season?

    Note: I was a season ticket holder during 9-iar, I love the Goalie, met him a few times too, and I can say with 99.999% certainty that he was the best keeper in Europe at no time at all.

    Fair enough!

    Boring, repetitive, annoying, really really weak lyrics, just generally a bad song.

    Hurt my ears. 

    My subjective opinion on this entirely subjective topic is that the song was pish.

    However I am sure some people may have the opposite opinion, they might even have strong deeee-ziiiiii-urrrrrrr for the song.

    And after reading the clubs proposal to let fans into Ibrox over five days to see the trophy we now find out the reason the wee cow's kept Glasgow in tier three - bitter wee bastard  

    Fucking lord man. I was just thinking, at least you don't have Boris... and then I remembered that you do.  What's worse than having Boris as your "leader"? Having that half pint of hypocrisy AND Boris... as your leader, at the same time. That's a horrific situation that Scotland does not deserve.
