Should I own something like that? I mean, what is a precision screwdriver set as opposed to a screwdriver which works.

It's a bit like comparing Paolo Hurtado to Matej Vydra tbf.

Bearing in mind the rumours about Simon Church's sexual preferences (allegedly) his move to Aberdeen has coincided with the departure of Goodwillie-make of that what you will(ie).

Very good :lol:

However, I can't help feeling that buying about 50 screwdrivers in a box in the hope that one of them might be the right one is a bit excessive really. The first one I take out my toolbox seems to work every time for me.

Of course, any intelligent practical person can see that most of the content of that box is not screwdrivers. So the argument is baseless!

Nameless Defender misses easy header to clear, ball falls to shocked attacker who sends it goal wards where equally shocked keeper juggles it into the back up his net. Should have saved it, was let down by the defending player.
Going to list the errors Feds made in his career ?

Lol. That was far worse than Feds, or any other goalkeeper I've seen at Reading. It was a very soft header, straight at him. It was literally harder not to save it.


One example doesn't really cut it though.


Everton at home, both goals.
Huddersfield Cup replay, tried his best to throw one in underneath his body at 0-2.
Forest away he should have saved the first goal.

Because none of those are actually examples of poor goalkeeping that match his description of AAH?
