ulysses Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 He's probably waiting to see which team will still be in the Premiership. So that rules us out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mearns Saint Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Should have been after him when he was out of contract at Hearts but we went for the cheap option. Shame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norrie82 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yes we should have signed him as we really needed a solid gk. This team this year is utter pish and we won't be back anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 We got Kello on a new contract in the summer, a move just about everyone was happy with at the time. Signing Macdonald as well would have been a ridiculous waste of wages, up there with Killie wasting most of their budget on signing both Samson and Reguero at the start of last season. Would take Macdonald for next season, although think he's been a bit suspect for Falkirk this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Always thought he was a weak link for Hearts so wouldn't be keen on signing him. Seen the Livi keeper a few times and would rather we signed him if we are now trolling about in the bargain bins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 It won't be difficult to improve on the current pair of clowns. To be fair we were all happy when we signed Kello again. I have no idea what happened to him over the summer to turn him in to the excuse of a goalkeeper he is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray7 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 He surprised everyone last season joining F*lkirk with top tier teams after him. Wouldn't be too surprised to see him playing for us next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Our number 1 will next season will be Mark Ridgers. I can't say that fills me with any great confidence, while he's a decent shot stopper and a good back up, he's far from what I would have as a number one choice.

TopCat Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Nothing to figure he's not good enough for the top level or the championship in my opinion.How many games have you seen him play in the Championship?He isn't a top level goalie, but he's won points for us this season. The 10 man win at Dingwall being one example. I don't think we could do better than him in the summer.

The 10 man win at Dingwall being one example. I don't think we could do better than him in the summer. I don't think it's really up for debate that Jamie MacDonald is a better keeper than Ridgers, given that MacDonald reduced him to benchwarmer at Hearts for long enough. I don't rate Ridgers, not one little bit. He may be a decent shot stopper, but then I've never understood this sort of praise for a goalie. If you aren't at least good at stopping shots, then you really shouldn't be a goalkeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I don't think it's really up for debate that Jamie MacDonald is a better keeper than Ridgers, given that MacDonald reduced him to benchwarmer at Hearts for long enough. I don't rate Ridgers, not one little bit. He may be a decent shot stopper, but then I've never understood this sort of praise for a goalie. If you aren't at least good at stopping shots, then you really shouldn't be a goalkeeper. Exactly, if you cant adequately stop an attacker, your not a defender, if you can't bully the opposition, your not a central midfielder, if you cant score goals, your not a striker... In that context, a goalie who can't stop shots is not a goalkeeper. Now assuming you can save the odd shot or two may give the title of a goalie, but that is the tip of the iceberg. A good keeper should give confidence to the defence by commanding the box both verbally and physically. Taking control at corners, crosses, organising those in front of him, standing tall and giving the defenders confidence. Ridgers provides absolutely none of the above, IMO he makes the defence nervous, his distribution of the ball is terrible, and aside from the odd save here and there, is a calamitous goalkeeper!
