wellfan29 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 ruddy is def the best i can remember in my 20 years following motherwell give buzz credit where its due he was a good shot stopper one on one but thats it in every other aspect of goal keeping he was awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS1886 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Buzz!!!!!! Nope don't see it personally. Decent shot stopper but they generally all are at that level. Remember Buzz was rotten for the best part of the season before last. Anything that looked like a cross he shit himself and that is why Meldrum got a chance. Ruddy is a good solid keeper but not the best. Kieth Macrae is up there and I liked Stuart Rennie. Had a few shockers too in our time. Dave Latchford, Stevie Woods to name but 2. Any others out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 and Stewart Rennie, until the idiot took too many steps in the semi-final against Airdrie. I went right off him after that. A bit unfair- that was just shit refereeing- how many other keepers got called for "steps" in the time that that law was in force? Next you will be blaming big Stewart for he penalty he conceded in the semi final the following season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few, but then the rule was easy to keep to, you counted your steps and got rid of the ball on the last one. It was a rule that had been in force for years and at the time it was second nature to a 'keeper. It was a stupid mistake. I've been adviseed by my doc not to even think about the following seasons semi-final it's bad for my blood pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a rule that had been in force for years and at the time it was second nature to a 'keeper. It was a stupid mistake. No it wasn't it was shit refereeing, everyone took more than 4 steps, no ref ever pulled a keeper up for it until then, a rule largely ignored until that night. Same as the more recent attempts at stopping keepers from timewasting. No ref ever bothers with the 6 second rule but sure as eggs are eggs some shit referee will pull us up one day.

brainier Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 To add to that, Rennie also had to contend with an Airdrie forward doing a Kirk and blocking two attempts to clear the ball hence the extra steps. A free kick for obstruction would have been a fairer decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 With the Soccer AM golden gloves thing, despite Ruddy losing a goal today, De Vries has just lost a last minute goal at the City Ground. Edit - Just saw the goal. De Vries made a complete erse of the corner, keeps that up he won't get any more...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 NOTW 'repotrting' Celtic looking to sign Ruddy on £300,000 deal. Article also claims Boyle tried to invoke the sell on clause on the loan deal but Ruddy himself is looking to move to a bigger club. No chance of him staying but wouldn't like to see him at Celtic where he fights for first team football. Again. More than good enough to go to a top team in the Championship and hold on to the first choice keeper role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruddy's not on contract at Motherwell, so how could we invoke a sell-on clause - juornalism at its best, or am I missing something fundamental here.

FJ-94 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 don't know if hes been said but what about duberdeaux to be fair i was quite young when he was with us and can only really remember his immense performance against rangers at fir park and we won 1-0 courtesy of a faddy goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm presuming he means the option for Motherwell to buy him first.Aye. I don't get to say this very often but I heard from an impeccable source that earlier in the year Boyle offered to put his hand in his pocket to the tune of 350,000 to sign him. However, Ruddy wasn't sure he wanted to commit and was still more attracted to a deal down south closer to his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Shame. I'm sure he will get the offer he is looking for down South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that hat Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 In his BBC interview Brown is keen to retain Ruddy, but by extending his loan arrangement for yet another season. Can't see this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rab_mackinnon Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 There is every chance of it happening he is enjoying first team football i heard his wife now has a job in glasgow. So they already have commited to the move our team next year will ultimately be build on the success of this season. It is of paramount importance that we secure a europa league spot thats the benchmark thats been set. mon the well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I said before, a move to either of the Old Firm wouldn't be as No.1. He's too good to warm the bench, and clearly him and his family quite like it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaluska wasn't a Mowbray signing and from what I've heard Boruc could be away in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Thing for me there though is that there's huge uncertainty behind the scenes. I'd say there was a high probability Mowbray won't be there next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 A chance though he could be number 1. Zaluska wasn't a Mowbray signing and from what I've heard Boruc could be away in the summer. Mowbray hasn't signed or even been linked (as far as I know) to any player in the SPL. Considering the number of changes he's made that tells you something. He doesn't see it as a market place for Celtic players. I'd be very surprised if Mowbray ever signs a player from another SPL club in his time at Celtic, however long that might be. OK, Ruddy technically isn't a Motherwell player but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
