hard to find dedicated keepers around, wish you played in my area hahaha =D here keepers are less than a handful and those who are dedicated and good at it mayb only 1 or 2.. so it's great to see people who actually like/want to play as keepers. *pat on the back* =D

yeah, GK don't get alot of credit. but people are slowly realising how important a keeper in the squad is. When i wanted to make a team for a 9 a side tourney i made sure the backbone of the squad is there namely a good forward, midfielder, centreback and a very reliable keeper. many people make a mistake by throwing some "newb" to play keeper because he can't play anywhere else or for any other reason. this was what happened to me in an amatuer tournament last year.. scrappy last min squad and put someone who has not played keeper between the post.. playing a keeper is NOT an easy thing to do and not everyone can do it. not many people has what it takes to make that dive etc.. needless to say , the 1st goal we conceded was a lousy chip which the keeper didn't expect to dip.. heck even an outfield player will know it's gonna dip into the net.. sigh.. neway it's good to hear people coming out wanting to play keepers as it isn't a very "popular" position in the squad.. but i do appreciate the unsung heroes in the squad so cheers to all the keepers out there and those who play their hearts out for their team be it in any position !!

ps: great idea startin a tread dedicated to keepers.. good goin lads! XD
