Brian Graham scores v Airdrie 20.04.2024


Recommended Posts

Good "scavenging" goal by BBG, picking up the scraps.

I might be wrong, but I get the feeling that in olden times (e.g. when Roughie was playing), keepers would routinely clutch those kinds of shots to their chest. But now they make little effort to do that, opting to just block and parry most of the time, with some disastrous consequences.

I agree with you re what keepers do in the modern game - it's all about shot stopping. In this case though I think it looks like the keeper went down with the intention of holding the ball but fumbled it.  I would put it down to the keeper's mistake. However consistent with modern thinking the blame will probably be placed on the defender for not getting to the ball before Graham!
