• Nobby's red mistIn the 55th minute (54:47), Stiles throws a punch at Herbin. Surprisingly, he escapes a caution, with the referee instead, as BBC commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme put it, "having a sharp word" with him. Later, in the 74th minute, while chasing a through ball, Stiles raises his right arm towards Bosquier and this time the referee reaches for his notebook (73:57). Then, just moments before England’s second goal, Stiles clatters Simon from behind (75:01), leaving the frenchman prostrate whilst England score. Simon has to be carried off for treatment and only returns in the 82nd minute, but he is clearly hampered, ineffective on the left wing, and barely able to walk.

Stiles throws a punch, doesnt get booked, then hacks somebody down who went off for 8 minutes for treatment and then came back on and couldnt walk nevermind run.

The good old days.

….love this goal, notice how Stiles tries to take Young out but he just glides past him so gracefully on the edge of the box. There was much better players than Stiles in ‘66 but Ramsey had him in his team for obvious reasons. This epitomises the class of Young (and Ray Wilson), my favourite Everton goal;

Good OLD days? Uche landed a punch on Tarkowski last weekend and didn’t get booked after 3 referees looked at it.

I think it's fair to say those teams would of worked Banks harder than the opposition Pickford has faced

….those last 4 games were in the early stages of ‘66 World Cup Finals, it doesn’t get more competitive but also teams are playing with caution. I wouldn’t detract from either achievement, I’d just celebrate them both.

Banks was much higher profile, widely accepted as Worlds no1, terrific effort from Pickford to claim the record from such a goalkeeper.

What are you going on about..

Maybe read your previous response again, pretty sure your mentioning previous eras of keepers and who they played against..

This a pickford thread, none of that matters, and like you politely said, End of..

I am "going on about" Pickford

 

[DanB90]

At what point do we start talking about world class?

Well you've lost me, not a clue what your little blow up was about.

Isn't everyone talking Pickford..

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

At what point do we start talking about world class?

Never, people (BBC/Sky) might actually start paying attention.

….my personal definition is, ‘walks into any team on the planet’ which I don’t believe he does. Southall definitely did, as is the case with Alan Ball and Ray Wilson.

Pickford is a top keeper, though.

Thats for the Harrison Armstrong thread ?

Weird isn`t it ?

If he played for any of the scab six, they`d be demanding a place in the hall of fame and statues, yet all he usually gets from quite a few of the pundits is digs all the time and veiled references to Pope being a better keeper.

What team on this planet do you think he'd look out of place ?

If he was playing accross the Park , esp with his England record he would undoubtedly be called World Class.

On this section of forum, I am never sure..

….i don’t think he’d look ‘out of place’ in a team but I’d be thinking there’s quite a few where he wouldn’t replace the current incumbent. Saying that, the Brazilian PL keepers might have seen better days.
