My apologies shouldn't really be here. Clicked on expecting a discussion on Powell's interview for QPR job not Smithies performance against Boro.
I'll leave and look elsewhere, once again my apologies for interrupting the thread.

It's like banging your head against a brick wall. Clueless.
Yes, it's swerved away from him but he's failed to read it, failed to act quickly enough, failed to position himself to react to the swerve and ultimately gone for the save with his wrong arm.
I saw it live from a matter of yards away, thought it then and still think it now, he was too fkn slow to react.
And YES that wall was an abomination.
All I can think is the reason you can't see all that is we've been served up so much shite over the years your expectations of getting the basics right in the game are firmly in the gutter.

Sorry disagree. Too slow getting across. He's also gone for it with the wrong hand. Most keepers going for that with the correct hand would be tipping that over the bar. He's 35 yards out, take another step and make the save with your left hand. I was right behind it, he was too slow. You do realise until 15 yards away from him the ball is going straight at him? Then it swings away ferociously. Quite honestly you're not even being hyper critical - unrealistic more like. Oh and as a keeper, when you dive to your left, you get added reach height wise with your right arm, so no he hasn't gone for it with his wrong hand. A little bit of information I gleaned from a keeper called Andy Rankin many years ago.

Wasn't the Town defender on the end of the wall taken out by the Boro player? Foul ref... no goal!!!

How do you read a ball swerving like that?

Err, you move towrds the direction the ball is swerving in?
I tell you what lads, you stick to reviewing 4th division keepers that go for shots into their top left hand corner with their right hands and I'll stick to calling it as it is.

Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb... Blah, blah, blah... Nice bloke Ted, granted. Shook your hand, granted. But it counts for little, Leon Brittain once shook my Dad's hand at Lodges supermarket in Holmfirth.I'd have hoofed the Tory c*** square in the plums if he'd tried shaking my hand. And I fucking hate Holmfirth too.
