16BlueSherbert90 19,223 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Goram and McGregor are on par in different eras. The 9 in a row years are something I will never ever forget. I think through all the hardship and heartbreak we have went through since 2012, McGregor has eliminated that tenfold this season alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,832 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It's still Goram for me. The saves he made against them in the 90's single-handedly won us games. But today's performance by McGregor inches him closer to Goldson & Davis for player of the year. Outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Soprano 22,428 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I give it to McGregor because how football has changed over the last 20 years. Ffs even the balls have changed.

goaaaal 946 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I thought Jed o'ward made it obvious on his run up however AMcG once again is the Top man when it comes to crucial saves he dives to the left/right with the agility of a 20 something.

peter huistra 1,740 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 He's been solid since he came back but he's really upped his game this season the defence have been tight also. Often read and heard about the famous iron curtain ( shagger probably prefers beef curtain ) not looked at the stats but this season's efforts at the back must be up there with that era.

bluenose48 951 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I've seen Ritchie, Klos and Goram and all of them in between and shagger is the best GK we have ever had. I know that's a big statement but I believe it 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outstanding even though they only played a few games. we have been blessed wie goalies It is hard to compare, and it's relative to the era they played. As mentioned in your other post, things have changed massively over the last while, goalkeeper wise, specialist training, 4 step rule, pass back rule, throw in rule etc., some of the older keepers could handle it today some not, the same as some of the newer Gk's could handle getting battered from pillar to post and others not. Some things have not changed, like the ball getting blootered at you from 12 yds, but coming at you from 20+yds the new ball is all over the place, (or in Christie's case, any amount of yards and the balls all over the place). It's very hard to compare, and as mentioned, we have been blessed with really good Gk's over the years, it seems to be in the club's DNA for whatever reason, and long may it continue. A lot of it is down to the training, check out the first 5 posts in 'Scottish Football' in the 'General Football Section', somebody states, ' a career ending performance', it's Jon McLaughlin having a nightmare, comes to us, trains with our staff, and steps up to the plate, if he was at any other club he'd be first choice. I have seen a lot of our Gk's over the years and for me it's consistency over time that makes a good Gk, yes, they'll throw one in the net once in a while, it's how they recover from that, their strength of mentality and McGregor has got that in spades. Is he the best we've had?, that's for an individual to decide, as emotion and boyhood memories can cloud judgement, for me, he probably edges it, but I'm not removing Billy from my avatar.

graeme_4 34,461 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Do wonder how much more McGregor could possibly to be considered better than Goram by the majority? Find them hard to separate myself, but with McGregor never having a dip in form like Goram did in the 10IAR season and such a prolonged run he’s edging it for me now.

TopCat 4,511 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Tough choice between Goram and Greegs but I've now decided Alan McGregor is our greatest ever goalie. He really is world class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
