It wouldn't have gone to penalties if he was in goal. I always hated poppadom hands. Shite keeper. Only ended up as number one because of the crowd on covolan's back. Fans cost us promotion that season.

100% correct. Although winning the league last year was sweet. As it is, I actually prefer Boot to Thompson.

Not a fan of boot personally.. made a fair few clangers. Neither is a patch on tyrer imo, but Thompson is ok other than his distribution.

Covolan was fucking atrocious as well. I know Fitzsimons killed us in the P/O final but he was better than Covolan.

Also Harry Tyrer, another overrated keeper. Fans loved him cos he engaged with the crowd but he was a bang average shot stopper.

I still remember watching the Bunch Of Amateurs episode of that and Marc White was saying to his players 'this keeper is volatile, I want you pressing him all the time, leave a little on' and that was a team who it was their very first game out of regional football.

Strange as it is, I think if he'd have been on the bench against County at Wembley and we'd have brought him on he'd have probably saved a couple of penalties, he's just that kind of character.

Nah that's our gig. Young Archie Mair 4 game Notts folklore guaranteed.

God bless Fitzy.

Well the team with the most possession shots on off target corners on the day won so nothing to worry about.
