2024/04/22

It is 200 up for GKU and Between the Sticks. A double century. One more game than Richard Lee managed in his career. To celebrate, we've simply produced a standard episode you've grown accustomed to listening to over the past few years. In it, we discuss Aro Muric's performance in Burnley's romp of Sheffield United, while also running the rule over his opposite number in that clash, Ivo Grbic. An analysis of the "Ic's", if you will. Jordan Pickford continues to keep us all entertained with his

Following a mini-break during the international and Easter interludes, GKU is back as per to cover all the key action as Storm Kathleen wreaked havoc with goalkeeping conditions over the weekend.Jose Sa was caught out direct from a James Ward-Prowse corner, Franco Ravizzoli saw a cross float over his head in the dying embers of the EFL Trophy Final and Thimothee Lo-Tutala launched airmail for Doncaster's opener in a comprehensive win at Morecambe. Elsewhere, we mark Lukasz Fabianski's 18th

2024/04/04

Very rarely can a subject of interviews on this podcast boast a career involving anything else other than "goalkeeper" or "goalkeeper coach".For Ian Feuer, however, vocations such as actor, stuntman, DJ and even part-time cook come into the mix. There's also the fact he was introduced to goalkeeping via the nephew of a notorious Vegas mobster, he's son to a musical maestro who worked closely with Elvis Presley and sister to the one-time wife of Hollywood star Mickey Rourke. At 6ft 7in, he's the

Across the four FA Quarter Final ties this weekend, five No2 goalkeepers were utilised.Considering the negative narrative surrounding Robert Sanchez on BBC's coverage of the Chelsea v Leicester clash, we look at the implications of such decisions. In the Premier League James Trafford was dropped for the first time this term, making way for Ara Muric to step in and help Burnley to a rare victory over relegation rivals Brentford. It means five ever-present goalkeepers remain in the top-flight for

It's been a while, but the Ramsdale/Raya debate returns following the former's display in Arsenal's win over Brentford on Saturday evening.Much to be said, and therefore much is discussed. Ederson's season looks to be hanging in the balance with an injury picked up in the draw between Liverpool and Man City. Basic error or poor goalkeeping to give away the penalty for that foul on Darwen Nunez? Commentary Corner is back as Gary Neville tentatively released a call for a regular goalkeeping

Save of the Weekend contender kicks off the show this week.And that save was made by Bournemouth's Neto, who flew across his goal to brilliantly fling out a paw and pat away Jacob Bruun Larsson's free-kick in a 2-0 win over Burnley. Alphonse Areola bagged another MOM display as West Ham won at Everton, Emi Martinez put in a superbly solid performance for a triumphant Aston Villa against lowly Luton, and Andre Onana secured a season's first with his eight successful high claims in the defeat to

It's all about Caoimhin Kelleher this week.For the second Carabao Cup Final in three years, he pretty much single-handedly dragged Liverpool to the trophy at the expense of Chelsea. Huge saves from Cole Palmer and Conor Gallagher had Jurgen Klopp and Virgil Van Dijk singing his praises and forming a narrative which could prompt The Reds into a big decision this summer. Does the Irishman stay or go? Elsewhere, Loris Karius made his first Premier League start since May 2018, Viktor Johansson

2024/02/21

A select band of names seem to be synonymous with goalkeeper coaching. Andy Quy is one of them. Following more than a decade at Stoke City - a period which saw them climb into, consolidate their status and then drop back out of the Premier League - he enjoyed short stints with Brentford and Burton before being tasked with assisting the creation of an entirely new MLS franchise in Charlotte FC. Now back in England and reflecting on next steps, he talks to GKU about his ultimate goalkeeping

Just like Richard Lee the goalkeeper, we are short and sharp this week. Packed inside half-an-hour of goalkeeping goodness comes multiple Save of the Weekend contenders. Guglielmo Vicario and Jose Sa staked their claims in Wolves' win at Tottenham, while Gavin Bazunu, Viljami Sinisalo, Liam Roberts and James Belshaw fly the EFL flag for Southampton, Exeter, Barnsley and Harrogate respectively.

He may have been on the losing side, but Mark Flekken broke Premier League records for Brentford in their clash with Man City on Monday night. We briefly discuss his start to life in England, in addition to some familiarly rough treatment dished out to Guglielmo Vicario in Tottenham's draw at Everton. A day of deflections, own goals and rebounds occurred in the EFL, where Bristol Rovers youngster Jed Ward excelled in claiming his first clean sheet in professional football. Welcome to the Club,

Lucas Covolan, take a bow. A man-of-the-match performance from Maidstone's No1 helped The Stones defeat Ipswich and in turn become the first club from outside the top five tiers of the English football pyramid to make the FA Cup fifth round since Blythe Spartans in 1978. The Brazilian takes centre stage this week, along with the rest of the fourth round action where, yet again, "Foul or No Foul?" rears its head following Man City's winner at Tottenham. Altay's possibly one and only appearance for

286: NFL Kicker, Josh Lambo

Goalkeepers" Union ·

2024/01/25

Is it feasible for a professional goalkeeper to genuinely consider a career as a kicker in the NFL? That is a question we’ve posed on the podcast many times before. Indeed, Kasper Schmeichel - as you’ll be reminded of in this episode - provided a very frank response when comparing the two disciplines a couple of years ago. Now, we have an answer. For Josh Lambo did just that. Following a short career in MLS - a short career, no less, which still encompassed starring for the USA at various youth

Gamesmanship? Cheating? Poor goalkeeping? Anything other than taking accountability? Those are the questions posed when pondering Ivan Toney's much-talked about opener in Brentford's win over Nottingham Forest at the weekend. From a goalkeeping perspective, we look at whether his ball-tampering tactics should have been flagged earlier by Forest - and whether Matt Turner's wall wasn't positioned properly. "Foul or no foul?" rears its head for a second week running following incidents involving Dean

2024/01/18

Slightly different approach this week. Colin Barnes is a man with skin in the goalkeeping game. After 25 years in the coaching arena, he's contributed to the development of more than 40 professional stoppers over the course of his career (he may have also been Richard Lee's first-ever goalkeeping coach). Now, as Head of Emerging Talent at Crystal Palace, he's scouring South London to find the next generation of Eagles as part of the club's burgeoning academy setup. Not many people within

Foul or no foul? That was the question on, well, some people's lips following Luton's last-minute equaliser at Burnley over the weekend. With James Trafford appearing to be impeded by Elijah Adebayo, a goal was given and the Twittersphere was split. We look at that incident, as well as Andre Onana's AFCON involvement which could pave the way for Altay Bayindir's long-awaited first piece of action as a Manchester United goalkeeper.

A typically unpredictable and reactive window has resulted in this week's podcast arriving a little later than usually expected. However, we quickly wrap up all the key action from the FA Cup Third Round. Big performances from Nathan Baxter, Dan Grimshaw and Max O'Leary helped Bolton, Blackpool and Bristol City take Premier League sides to respective replays on home soil, Lucas Covolan stayed firm to see Maidstone through to the Fourth Round for the first time since their 1992 reformation, and Cam

Happy New Year to goalkeepers far and wide. We kick off 2024 in reluctant fashion with... Commentary Corner! Yes, remarks directed towards Matt Turner in Nottingham Forest's victory over Manchester United were simply too ridiculous to ignore, so we run the rule over whether they were justified. (Spoiler: they were not.) In the EFL, Viktor Johansson continues to keep Rotherham's Championship survival hopes alive, debuts were handed to Fynn Talley and Gabriel Breeze of Peterborough and Carlisle

Crystal Palace now have a conundrum on their hands. Dean Henderson's welcome to return to action in the draw with Man City most likely means the No1 jersey is his to lose. A No1 jersey which, up to this point, had been deservedly maintained by fellow England goalkeeper, Sam Johnstone. We discuss that and plenty more in this week's show, including a first-ever four successive Premier League clean sheets for Jordan Pickford and the theatre that was Martinez/Maupay in Aston Villa's win over

It's been a long time coming, but Burnley have bagged precious points in recent weeks - and the draw at Brighton was thanks largely to MOM, James Trafford. The uber confident 21-year-old made 10 saves to silence The Seagulls in a performance to show the Premier League he has very much arrived. Returning from a short absence was Alisson, whose presence between the sticks aided Liverpool's comeback at Crystal Palace. Emi Martinez, meanwhile, revelled in a raucous encounter between Aston Villa and

Every so often you meet a goalkeeper and think, "Yeah, this lad's got that bit extra." Connor Ripley is one of those lads. After waiting more than ten years to earn a sustained period of first team football at his registered club, the Middlesbrough-born stopper has revelled in his rightful role as No1 in recent seasons. Successive campaigns at Morecambe and Port Vale have garnered rave reviews, the EFL have offered accolades and fans have made him very much a favourite. Now, with a 250th
