No serious goalkeeper should be wearing anything but fingersaves!

Advantages: Protection from breaks and increased control
Disadvantages: Can be a bit strange at first if not used to fingersaves but easy to adapt to!

...I thought I would write this review as I have had a great experience with this product. I'm no professional, though play football at a respectable level and consider myself to be a promising young goalkeeper. I had never bothered with fingersave gloves before I broke my index finger in a game last year. I decided following it's recovery that I should invest in a pair of fingersave gloves. I must admit I had my reservations about these in particular with respect to mobility. I thought the bending of the fingers would be restricted too much but I was wrong. I invested in a pair of these and they have been brilliant, no problems whatsoever. If there is anyone out there not wearing fingersave gloves, then invest in a pair, because you only need to break a finger that refuses to heal properly and you've got problems. These gloves...

Review of Adidas Fingersave Replique Goalkeepers Glove

Great looks - poor performance - Nike Tiempo SGT Gloves

Advantages: Stunning looks, very comfortable.
Disadvantages: Very poor grip

...Since being young I have been borderline obsessed with goalkeeper gloves. In my late teens and early 20's I was buying up to 8 pairs of gloves a season. Outrageous, yes maybe, but I was hooked with the feel and optimism that a new pair of gloves would bring. My mates bought boots by the, er, boot load, I however always opted for gloves. Imagine then my disappointment with this purchase. They look the absolute part, having an excellent colour scheme and that massive Nike tick, reassurance usually of a well-made product. I fell for these gloves immediately and parted with something in the region of £65 for them. I had made a mistake. The main problem with these gloves is the foam. 4mm latex palms are what you would expect from professional quality gloves, but by my own admission the SGT technology was an intriguing concept...

Review of Top+15 Goalkeeper Glove

totally ninety

Advantages: Comfy, stylish, soft leather
Disadvantages: none

...I bought these football boots (or rather my da bought them for me) when i went for my first training session with Shrewsbury about 2 years ago (2002). As i was a goalkeeper i never really looked at boots too much and tended to keep my eye on the newest gloves out (tip i dont think much of adidas fingersave goalkeeper gloves). I got home from school and he said he had a present in my room for me. I went upstairs and there they were along with a pair of new goalkeeper gloves and a new state of the art goalkeeper top (i know most of you wont think that tops can become state of the art, but this one had grip on the chest). I basically ignored the boots and was fascinated by the gloves and top. When i had them on that night i still didnt think much of them. They were comfy yeah but nothing id not noticed in a new pair before. Gradually...

Review of Nike Total 90 T.F.

Rai rules!

Advantages: Agility
Disadvantages: Lack of opportunities

...Raimond van der Gouw has become Alex Ferguson's ideal reserve goalkeeper. Bought as deputy to Peter Schmeichel to replace the accident prone Kevin Pilkington, Rai has become one of the most able deputies in the business. He has seen off the challenge of both Massimo Taibi and Mark Bosnich to hold onto his position as back-up goalkeeper, and has rarely let United down when called upon. Even though he is 37 now his skills show no sign of decreasing, and hopefully he can keep Fabien Barthez on his toes for a season or two yet....

Review of WWE - Royal Rumble 2006 (DVD)

Tip for the top???

Advantages: underated underdog?
Disadvantages: Keeper may be weak?

...Im not a Liverpool fan but I do think that they stand a good chance of winning the premiership this season. I know Man U have a good squad but they did not do an awful lot of buying over the summer and only brought in Fabien Barthez. Liverpool now hav the makings of a good team. There is an abundance of talent up front with Owen Fowler,Heskey and now Zeige. The midfield is strong too and defensively sound. If they can put together a decent run we may see a return to the glory days of the 1980's when they won everything. Where they have fallen down since Grobbelar left is at GoalKeeper. Unfortunately, they cant seem to find a reliable one....

Review of Liverpool

FIFA or Pro Evo? Here again

Advantages: New improved gameplay, good graphics
Disadvantages: Still not perfect

..., shooting, positioning, marking . * Improved Goalkeeper Intelligence - Goalkeepers position themselves more intelligently, react to shots more realistically and recover from saves faster. * Customized Controllers - Create your own bespoke controller configuration, save it and even take it online effortlessly. Assign actions to the buttons exactly how you like them for complete control. Opinion This really does feel like the gameplay has been remastered and is completely different to last years installment. Just as I was moving away from FIFA to Pro Evolution Soccer, I am once again loving FIFA. After playing the latest Pro Evolution on PC I would say FIFA is better. There isn't a lot of change from last year's Pro Evo, the gameplay seems the same and the graphics are not as good as FIFA 09. People criticise FIFA...

Review of FIFA 09 (PC)

Croatia for Euro 2008

Advantages: Consistent and good under pressure
Disadvantages: No Eduardo da Silva

...Who will win? The teams - Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and Spain. The final squads, 23 players per team (inc. three goalkeepers), were submitted on 28th May and the competition begins on 7th June. There are some great teams in there. Italy - the World Cup winners of 2006. However, they haven't been convincing under there new coach Roberto Donadoni. Greece - the Euro 2004 Champions. They qualified comfortably this year. Spain - strong in defence, mainly due to Iker Casillas their Real Madrid goalkeeper. I could go on, but I wont! It will sound too much an exercise in giving facts and figures. My own personal opinion is that Croatia will win it even though their leading striker Eduardo da Silva broke his leg...

Review of Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland: Which country do you think will win and why.

Man Utd

Advantages: Tall
Disadvantages: Too Tall

...edwin van der sar almost played for Man Utd - but they've got Barthez now - just as good if not better. But I feel that Edwin would have been a good choice of keeper at Man Utd as he really is one of the world's leading goalkeepers. He is Tall - very tall and that is a very valuable ability. He is also a great shot stopper and knows the game inside out. The only problem is that Holland's penalty takers let the side down - edwin did OK in goal, but it wasn't his fault....
