Rob Green

Sadly, it seems it's Green's turn to be the new Furlong, Helguson etc. Anyone recall the abuse dished out on here last season to Jason Puncheon? Not good enough for us and never a premier league player based on what exactly, a 5 minute cameo performance as a sub in one game.........................I give you Man City away on Sunday, you know, the Champions of the Premier League against Southampton with the very same player who performed admirably for 90 minutes. When subbed in stoppage time, the expert's said he had put in a great shift, played really well and caused City plenty of problems......................but he is/was dog turd that shouldn't be in league 1, let alone the PL and with Rangers......... how dare he.
I'm not saying he was/is a world beater and I'm not saying he would have turned out to be a quality player for Rangers but the way he was slated and abused without being given even half a chance is just as sad as what's happening already with Green.

Top post - I was an avid defender of Puncheon at the time claiming he should be given a chance as he was a good enough player for the PL (based upon his stint at Blackpool) but I was shot down my thr majority and slated for daring to say he was good enough. His face didnt seem to fit form the off.

Dead right he was never given the chance he should have been given, taking into account how poor most of our season was ,but you have claimed he was mostly slated over his ability as I recall it he came with a bad reputation from the Soton fans as being Billy big bo//ox and dressing room trouble ,that should have been ignored by posters but some will cross the road to find fault even in a player who waived his own siging on fee to join us

Can't be bothered with reading 7 pages but my only thought is, anyone who is on the keeper's back after ONE game needs their heads testing & probably hasn't a clue about football. Made a mistake in pre season & should have done better with the first goal Saturday but shall we contact OPTA to see the stats on the rest of our players? How many times we gave the ball away, lost possession, over hit passes, didn't pick up our man, mis timed a run letting in an opposing attacker??

Its embarrassing, he has pedigree & he will prove to be a very good keeper but will that happen with his OWN fans on his back? Will it f@ck!

And before anyone tries saying Paddy Kenny was a better keeper is nuts imo, the amount of cheap goals he conceded last season was shocking, diving early, diving late, slow to get across his line plus more.

Green is a QPR player lets give him the backing he deserves & clearly going by what people are saying about him at the moment needs.

I blame FIFA

This won't be the last f**k up from Green this season for sure. He's now had 3 in 3 games for us. In this league mistakes will cost us points and we can ill afford that. Just because he is ours doesn't mean we're gonna have to support him for every mistake he is going to make this season. It will be a long old season if he stays as our number one. My own choice in the summer was Ben Foster.

Totally agree,brought in as better than Paddy???? and yet gets two hands to the ball and fails to put it round the post.....worrying

You talk like Paddy wasn't at fault for any goals last year. Blinkered isnt the word.

[SANDERSON8]

Blinkered no Green was brought in as being better on 50k a week,his track record speaks for itself,Paddy made errors but made
some great saves as well which kept us in the prem.Foster,Robinson,Al-Habsi yes but Green nononononononon...no

Save form VAN PERSIE IMMEDIATELY SPRINGS TO MIND,GO BACK FURTHER SAVE FROM YAKUBU AGAINST LEICESTER and many others some people have short memories,
Green was brought in as an improvement in my book we have just stood still at best.

and your point being

[MattyRangers]

and your point being

That its all very well you sitting there listing out saves Paddy made (in caps lock for added affect!), but we could also list the goals he cost us last year.
Point being, preference aside, Paddy is gone and Green is here. Sit there upset about it all you like, write as many lists as you want of Paddys saves, from here on in Green is our keeper and we need to support him - we have ourselves a cracking keeper on the books if we can get behind him and not all jump on his back after 1 game.
Believe it or not he wasnt England number 2 for no reason.

[Ric-Roc]

So by the end of the season which is incidentally in THIRTY SEVEN games time do you not think we'll be able to talk about some great saves Rob Green made?

Okkkkkkkkk then..

England number 1 at one point too. How many caps has kenny had for ireland? not that many, says it all really.
will forever be grateful to him for our championship season but was quite simply not up to the job in the prem. and he's proven that twice.
green, however, has already proven he's a premier league keeper with west ham. he makes one mistake for england, loses his confidence and hasnt had it back. hes not going to get it back either, not with the majority of the QPR fans on his back from pre season. but hey, we're QPR fans, thats what we do right?

[Del]

Ginger, I agree that he never really got his confidence back for England, but he did for club. Many West Ham fans rave about him and one came on here saying he was the reason they got promoted... A keeper doesn't have that impact unless playing well with confidence week in week out.

If we support him he will prove to be a good asset.
