No I didn't.

Yorkie said:The only season we stayed up in the Championship was when Kuipers had his shoulder ripped apart and Blayney played.
Yorkie said:It's pretty obvious that people are entrenched in their views on either keeper (I like both) so why don't we wait and see what happens on Tuesday when Michel is bound to keep the shirt and will face much sterner opposition in Bristol City.
ali jenkins said:I'll always remember Blayney for the Palarse at home game when he came to claim the ball on the side of his area, slid about 5 foot outside the area and then patheticly tried to jump abck in to his area before anyone noticed and still landed 3 foot short!
And the ref only booked him!
Yorkie said:That was one occasion when sliding on wet grass benefited us.
The ref gave him the benefit of the doubt.
mansfieldwhippy said:anyone remember that keeper we got from blackburn year we stayed in champ he was awful. kuipers is the man but henderson soon can become the same.
You could come to that conclusion if it was true.chez said:Then why did no fucker want him when we were begging them to take him off our hands?
Simple reason is that he's JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Biscuit said:Hunting through youtube, cant find the Blayney incident anywhere.
Maybe Google video?ali jenkins said:Ive just been doing the same and no joy
Im sure it was on there that i saw it
3gulls said:Fuckwit! Where you there? The guy played with such passion. He may not be the best kicker of the ball, but everything else that was wanted he provided - and more! He played like the Keeper and Sweeper all in1!
FDM = LEGEND!
Barrel of Fun said:I think Wilkins has got this spot on. It would have been wrong to drop Henderson after the Bournemouth game, as it was unfortunate. I didn't really feel that Henderson was to blame for the Milwall goal, perhaps slightly. He did very well for the rest of the game.
However, we needed to stop the rot and it is worth changing things around. We are lucky to have two very capable keepers and we should not forget that.

Things needed to be changed, fair enough.
But I'm cringing at people calling Kuipers "God" and "legend". Seriously guys, he's maybe what you'd call a cult hero, I could go for that. But not some of the frankly cringe-worthy praise that's appeared on this thread.
Let's get this straight- Adams, Coppell, Taylor, McGhee and now Wendy have all expressed clear concern at FDM one way or another, illustrated by the regular signing of new keepers over the same period:
Ben Roberts,
Mark Cartwright,
Dave Beasant,
David Yelldell,
Simon Royce,
Ross Flitney,
Henderson,
Florent Chaigneau,
Alan Blayney,
Rami Shaaban,
Stuart Jones,
Andy bloody Petterson FFS!
They're just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, there may be more.
I accept that some people are always going to worship at the altar of the FDM, but there is quite OBVIOUSLY some element, either to his game, or his character, that managers aren't quite sure about, so perhaps you should just trust their judgement sometimes.
In the meantime, I hope Kuipers has a long and successful run in the team, for all our sakes.
