Posh keeper

I thought the FL allowing Peterborough to get an emergency loan keeper when they already had two fit replacements on their books was ridiculous. I also wondered what the reaction would be if the new keeper (an England international btw) saved the penalty that gave them the result that made them champions. Well it happened on Saturday at Charlton when Posh walked away with 3 points instead of 1 and I'm surprised at the lack of outrage.

I really want us to take this title and I hope that doesn't end up being the save that denies us it.

 

I'm not quite sure why it's been allowed when they had 3 fit senior keepers still registered to play ( lack of senior apps or the fact one is a player coach shouldn't matter )

 

Bollocks isn’t it?

 

I think the FA make the rules up as they go along.

 

That's an extremely polite way of saying it's bollox! I don't think there is or can be any justification for allowing it!

 

I'd have been more pissed off if he'd scored 10 goals.

 

For a keeper I’d be staggered if he scored 10 goals.

 

That's why I'm not overly concerned.

 

Alan McGregor scored 10 every night, or did I hear it wrong?

 

And look at him now.

 

Still always manages to get into the box.

 

But dramatic isn’t it? A 20 year old, not a full England International, we’ve had keepers who’ve been internationals at U17, U18 etc.
Could’ve been just a **** penalty.

 

If we don't finish as Champions it won't be because Peterborough brought a keeper in it'll be because we didn't take OUR chances in the remaining games.

This League is in our hands and it's ours to win.

 

Own ones would of been nice !!!

 

Surely a lack of appearances for reserve keepers is just mismanagement, there are plenty of cup games over the season to get a backup up to speed. How many Pizza cup games did we play? If every club could do what Posh did where's the incentive not to play your best keeper in every game?

 

The keeper they have took on loan is 4yrs younger then their no2 keeper as well. Lack of first team appearances or not... Posh had 3 registered keepers fit and that could play. They shouldn't be able to bring in another just because he is more experienced league games wise

 

I thought the Lincoln keeper looked decent.

 

It is an odd rule. As stated earlier, they should have managed the squad better. We could have saved Long's wages, and just exploited this rule if anything happened to Ingram.
Why are goalies so special? Why not similar for outfield players?

 

Or used Magennis
