    Well in Gregg Wylde - can't be easy to walk away from Rangers not knowing where your future lies. Seems like he's got his head screwed on right too, here's a quote attributed to him....

    I volunteered to walk with no redundancy package today to help the other people in the club who have families, like the kitchen staff.

    Next stop Bolton? Although I realise that he'd have to get special dispensation etc etc etc and everyone else would probably whinge about it.

    Was just about to post this, got a lot of respect for that guy.
    Paper work has apparently been ****ed up and he is still a Rangers player. Can't make this last month up :lol:

    You can't be, I am :holmes:

    I hope it is, although I'll settle with Stevenage winning AET!

    Hope it's good mate :top:

    One of the greatest keepers of all time. Probably the best I've seen in my lifetime. Great performances domestically, in Europe and internationally.

    I love the absolute look of disbelief on the faces of the strikers as they realize their shot was saved (Inzaghi's reaction is priceless).

    Buffon is one of my (many) goalkeeping idols - such incredible reflexes.

    Admittedly, I'd be expecting him to save the Lurling effort and Zidane's second one (which is straight at him, even if at pace), but he's up there on my list as one of the all-time greats:

    Yashin, Maier, Tomaszewski, Zoff, Schmeichel, Kahn, Buffon, and to an extent, Seaman.

    Although I also like Aurrecochea just for being so mental. :lol:

    I think just for pure entertainment and craziness my favourite goalkeeper is René Higuita.

    Re the Buffon comp, what was the last one appealing for? Sympathy?

    He is without doubt the best goalkeeper of the last 15 years or so.

    Inzaghi's reaction is priceless.

    I also thought Zidane's frustration in the international was funny: it comes right after the CL one, so it's almost like Buffon spends all his time thwarting Zidane and the latter going 'Oh come on...'

    It's Buffon's way of getting back at Zidane for having the audacity to chip a penalty against him (in a World Cup final against the best keeper in the world - utterly ridiculous).

    Would be 1-0 to QPR if we had goal line technology/the officials paying attention :rolleyes:

    Fuller stamp. Idiot.
    Given the amount of red cards Stoke accumulate, they should just start every match with 10 men :jester:

    May I add, that was a horrific stamp. Disgraceful.

    Not the worst stamp I've ever seen, but still utterly intentional, unnecessary and disgraceful.
