Oh christ thats it now.
We've got Neiler who hates Howard and blames him for everything VS Dougie who defends Howard for everything.
This could be the most posted in thread ever by Wednesday if neither guy backs down.
OKI'd disagree on both points mate.
@Neiler having a mare here.
I think the majority of the fan base are in agreement that he has been absolutely fine this season. The evidence of this is that when the team sheet is announced each week, not one person says anything negative about the decision to play him. That suggests to me that the majority are far from unsure of him.You think, nothing compared to calling him gash after he had a good game at the World Cup. Good times!
To be honest, rebuttals in this thread have all gone a bit conservative and tentative, think the majority of the fan base are very unsure of him and take that as the broader evidance.
I can understand the American lads fighting his corner and wanting him to do well though.

I don't see you disagreeing with his selection when the team is announced.Hmm, I would Prob disagree with that mate!
Firstly I disagree with your assertion and hyperbole. I don't think it was an unstoppable shot, he was beaten by power and placement because he made a choice to be further of his line then he should be. He made a risk assessment that he wouldn't be beaten by the power of the shot based on the angle, the pay of, by simple physics in being closer to the ball gives less time to react and compansate, than if in fact he was closer to the goal. Additionaly he increases the testing of his positioning skills by the fact that he is further way from the objective object he is protecting which is the goal in terms of orientation. He wasn't beaten on angles he was beaten by height and velocity by the decision he made on his positioning.
Arguably with his rep for a gaff you could also argue the player himself was told Howard was a week link and if you get a chance test him - that not far from the reals of possibility in opposition preparation for my money. I don't think that shot is unstoppable.
Tell me how it is unstoppable mate? And how he never had a chance?
Right I'm going to put this in such basic terms for you that even a half wit priest comprehends...
The closer to the shot Howard is the small the target behind him is.
Even Father Dougal understands this in the end..
