Thats why we signed Matic.
So then Matic is Carrick's replacement, still not Scott so I am still on the money here.
I think if we are looking at Scott as our first choice answer to our midfield weaknesses next season then midfield is still going to be a problem for us.
McTominay can fight for that spot, but he should be starting next season as a second choice player, imo.0 -

I was short fat and slow so I was exclusively a goalie.
I faced that same situation with the underage school Gaelic team. Even though I was playing in attack for my club and had a decent left foot/hoof from distance, I had insulation on my bones and therefore a future in the team as a goalie.
What was the teacher's/coache's thinking? "Oh, Stu/Jayo is fat and takes up more space in the goals, therefore is automatically the best keeper we have!"
Someone would wanna tell DDG that he is far too skinny and that he should start chowing down the Peri's Hot Lips and Desperate Dan bars.
Old pic of me and Jayo...

Tall and thin, goalkeeper from age 6 to 30 when I my knees finally gave in, absolutely loved playing in goal as I was a bit of a headcase
plenty of broken bones and lost teeth..
Though I was a corner forward in the aul Gaelic footy, and a left wing back with the hurl through my teenage years, gave it up to focus solely on the goalkeeper.
Really miss it these days0 -

Can agree with this except i was more of the ilk of Barthez. Good agility but it was chaos at crosses :pac:
But i always enjoyed goal as long as i could take penalties :cool:0 -

I played mostly CM or on the wing growing up, initially was a striker, joined a new club cause my parents moved house, first game they stuck me RB and I gave away a penalty within mins, they never made that mistake again.
Tall, thin, not very fast, but I’ve the first touch only Dimitar Berbatov can rival

As its what we are doing
Played all across the midfield, a right footer coming in off the left before it was cool. Played up front too, didn't enjoy the defensive duties as much but loved running at defenders and creating or shooting.
Couple of POTY awards to my name at underage level, bad injury while playing for my school team in a Munster cup (is it the Oscar Traynor?) something like that anyway cut short what was surely going to be a glittering career........................or not
I'd love to be doing what your doing now actually Mars, keep saying I'm going to get my badges and actually get properly involved in the sport again. Particularly at the underage level where its more, I dunno, pure for want of a better word!"People say ‘go with the flow’ but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish."

Lot of Keepers in here. I'll add to that list.
Kind of got thrown into at around 7 as our current keeper moved but I had an aptitude for it. Was much better in goal that my current role of "sub for last 5 minutes".
I was very tall for my age. The rest started to catch up around 15 but up till that point I had a big advantage of being able to touch the crossbar which most keepers couldnt without killing themselves. I coach a team at the moment with a great keeper but he's tiny. It makes a big difference.
I wasn't very agile. Some of the cat like stuff you see was way beyond me but I knew my angles well and had good 1v1 instincts. Penalties were my bread and butter. For most of my club football we had brilliant centre halves but our fullbacks were total disasters so we conceded a lot of peno's. One season we conceded 11 but only 3 led to goals so I was pretty proud of that.
Unfortunately I couldn't pick a pass to save my life so we usually lost possession when I had it. A massive hoof up the park was all I was good for. Pep ball it was not. 0 -

I’ve always had very good distribution but by god I used to hate the managers, I would always be calling for my fullbacks to show for the ball quickly but the managers always demanded to hoof it up.. I prized myself on my throwing distribution though, I could start a counter by throwing to the opposite half by the time I was 14/15 or so. Played at the very top of the LSL from 16-30 so happy enough with my “career” so to speak.
Now that I have the young lad, even though he’s only a baba I want to get into coaching and get some badges going. Fecker will want to play basketball instead now watch 0 -

Played as a striker who had the same strike rate as Shane Long,scored a hat trick of disallowed goals one day,after the third the ref was told to go fu*k himself and he hadnt a clue about the offside rule,he still doesnt
Then moved back to CM,fancied myself as a bit of Roy Keane/Patrick Vieira all rolled into one,but in truth I was more of Glenn Whelan,used play the sitting CM role and there was plenty of short sideway passes going on
Enjoyed it though and there was plenty of take the man and ball tackles 0 -
