Kuipers

[The Large One]

OK. I take it you're not too bothered about us winning games either then. :thud:

I care very much about us winning games. What a silly thing to say.

I don't care really about people who cut off their nose to spite their face - something equally as silly.

I do care when people say they want our goalkeeper dead, though.

Chez, I put this to you: Assuming Wilkins were to drop/sell Kuipers, who should we get in who could do a better job and would be available for the fee and wages we would be in a position to offer?

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

:thud:

Could it be that none of the team make themselves available for that 'quick ball', or indeed that the opposition might well have wised pu to the quick ball intention.

Thats not what I mean though. He doesn't even look up! He spends a good 20 seconds stamping on the grass before he even puts the ball down to start his run up!

It wasn't just yesterday either, it's been the same all season. He used to do KICK UPS with it before he stamped on the grass!

 

[veade]

Yep. I know about 15 who will return the day Kuipers either leaves or gets dropped. All were regulars until Wilkins made Kuipers number 1. All would return if he was replaced.

what a load of rubbish you are spouting at the end of the day if we played positive attacking football that was enjoyable to watch then that would help bring fans back its people like you spreading negatives around doesn't help the team

OK, firstly we could never sell Kuipers. Christ knows, every other Brighton manager has tried it but nobody is stupid enough to buy him so he would have to be released.

After that there are loads of keepers better than him that would love to play for us on a lot less money than we pay Kuipers (I know he got a reduced wage on his recent contract but he is still on quite a bit).

For the short term though, I'm sure we could get a loanee in.

thats not true peter taylor wanted to buy him when he left us

What about when he was No.1 under McGhee - did they go then? Either you're talking shit or you know fifteen half-wits, without wanting to put too fine a point on it.

 

[Frutos]

OK, and who should that be?

Surely for such a vehement Kuipers hater as yourself, there must be a specific someone who you would suggest, or is it just some kind of "Anyone But Kuipers" thing with you?

 

[bristolseagull]

I know of about 15 it would bring back without even having to think. I'm sure there are many more that I don't know of.

Oh, and he IS pony. Just ask every other manager in the league.

so you know 15 people that don't come and watch us because kuipers playes in goal?



you're the pony mate

I think it's much better to talk negatively on here about Kuipers than to go to the game and boo our proper players as per what happened to Murray last night. Now that is disgraceful.

 

[Frutos]

than to go to the game and boo our proper players

Erm..on what grounds is FDM not one of our "proper players" then?

I think you must be on some kind of wind-up here.

He was rarely No. 1 under McGhee and even when he was in the team we were playing good enough football to cover up our problems in goal. So yes, I and a few of the others went then.

Problem is, now we aren't playing that kind of football that can make up for having a keeper as poor as kuipers in goal.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Very lucky, he nearly KO Lynch aswell. He didn't do much wrong through, and was very solid.

Err, not sure why a put that actually, it wasn't intentional, but thinking about it I wouldn't call him a proper player.

f*** off.

Almost as silly as saying you want paying punters to stay away

 

[The Large One]

No, I'd prefer punters who won't support the players in the team to stay away.

So thats most of the crowd from last night from what I've heard.

I'm not saying you're wrong here as that is one of the reasons I stay away. I don't like it when people boo our players.

Most of the crowd? How contemptably pathetic. However told you that is dealing in lies. Your mate is a liar - nice mate.

But if you checked in your phobia at the door, and actually turned up at Withdean, your opinion would be given some credibility.
