3 - 1 Weir again

Only when proving a point that height isn't embarrassing.

I didn't look for any as it was a different point plus our keeper is taller than 5ft 7" as we established at the start of this conversation.

Les Green (Derby County) was the shortest top keeper; at a shade under 5’8”… he was excellent

Even though it’s the womens game if they hold on here it would be a nice lift for the club as a whole in general a trophy in the locker getttttt innnnnn..

 

[cookster]

Boom

 

[waspish]

What a finish that was and what come back.

 

[yeseye]

Yes !

 

[wahablue]

3-1,yes

 

[Kippax77]

Oh Yes

 

[WestGorton]

What a goal

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Again I'll just go back to the start, why?

If they can jump up and get their hand over the bar then they are tall enough to play in goal.

I have never been chipped as a goalkeeper so IMO you'd be mainly wasting your time and chance created by a teammate.

However I wasn't great on crosses, had to punch most of the time and I used to stay on my line for corners with the instruction to the defenders to head it clear, I was a good shot-stopper, you play to your strengths, no point me coming for a cross at the end of the day, I had a better chance of saving the header.

Shay Given was 5ft 10"

I’ll leave this debate here now, we’ve just got a third.

Not sure the keeper could have reached it even if she was standing on the post. ;-)

 

[Nascent Blues]

Great goal.

 

[moggymoz]

[Cotontoquinn]

Brilliant second half performance from the team. We want 4.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

where's this been all season?

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Been all over them this half, making Chelsea look like part-timers.

 

[antspider]

Smashing

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Different game in the last 20 minutes.

 

[Blueknows]

Surely Taylor must realise Weir and Raso must start every game
