And never once did the keepers cap fall off.

The keeper looks like a West Ham fan wearing that cap..

The Arsenal fans were up in arms on Arsenal Fans Wireless after the game about some of the challenges on their keeper.

Disgusting foul. Don't understand why VAR didn't take a look at it.

 

[Insel affe]

I am sure that was a scrummage at the end

Why was our goal disallowed?

It's still under review ...........

Mates son plays for QPR U16 as a GK and he had his front 2 teeth kicked in recently, when going for a ball. Got kicked in the face. Bloody brave at 15 yo.

This was what they had to handle in the 1960's, in this picture the keeper not only gets the ball smack in the face, but also an elbow in the ribs from Albion (ex Spurs and England) legend Bobby Smith, probably wasn't even a foul in those days.

Perhaps the protection given to GKs these days isn't such a bad idea.

Bobby Smith wearing those glorious Pink Fluorescent boots, gently nudges the keeper out of the way, it matters not the keeper plays for tiny ground Brighton, a clearance is a clearance in todays stat laden World of monochrome football.

Keepers, they're a special breed.

I could watch that all day. Some real legends of the game in that video, and the reason I became a GK (I just didn't like running around tbh )

I must have recognised 3/4 of those keepers instantly . . .

It's not just less running around, but diving around in the mud was fun, at least until I was about 12 and you got to wear gloves to keep your hands warm. Sondico ones with little bits of table tennis bat sewn on!

Yep, who could forget those old cotton gloves! I had some of these yellow Peter Bonetti ones...

99.9% of professional football players are snowflakes.

Ha! Had to start googling after reading that. Had a pair of these!
