But that's stopped now' followed by a properly smug grin. It's the same video where Ian Marshall is asked for his best goal of the season after the opening day hattrick at Wolves and he glibly replies 'derrs been so many'. ? Superb player, superb mullet. A little bit sad but I knew every single word of commentary on that VHS. I was only ten tho. Has it ever been released on disk ? Would love to see it again.

Hallworth was the number 1 goalkeeper at that point and had been here for at least 2 years. He was settled... A new keeper at this level wouldn't get the same treatment from fans. Being top of the league helped the fans forget Goram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 £20 to Playershare if we get Ripley back for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If boro are signing Johnstone then I can't see a future there for Ripley at all. Can see him being sold to a club lower in the champ rather than loaned anywhere. Or a league 1 club with money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If Middlesbrough don't rate him as a No 2 at 24 I don't see why they'd have a problem letting him go to a Championship club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 5 hours ago, lookersstandandy said: They shared it almost equally IIRC. Royle kept changing them everytime one made a couple of mistakes. Rhodes played in the League Cup Final. Hallworth played in the F.A. Cup S/F's. In my opinion, Hallworth was the better keeper. Rhodes could pull off the spectacular but was more likely to drop a clanger. Hallworth was definitely the more consistent of the 2, but Rhodes had a certain madness that endears you to a goalie. (I hasten to add madness not in the Andy Gorton sense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes was fucking awful at kicking, good at throwing, dubious at coming for crosses but a brilliant shot stopper and one-on-one specialist. Hallworth was great at kicking and distributing, strong on crosses, superb at shot stopping but fucking hopeless at hand-to-hand combat with pisscans outside Monty's. Hallworth > Rhodes, innit.

ajw65 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Wow....don't remember any of this shit being said when either Hallworth or Rhodes were around....I thought they were both quality keepers (do agree about Andy Rhodes kicking) and didn't actually mind which one was playin. ...don't think either of them let us down...and remember, they had to adapt to playing on the plastic...
