    Yes you must, Coman of Rapid Bucharest saved one today, does it make him as good then? Please prove to em that Reina has saved more than 3 pens in the past 2 years (excepting the penalty shootout).

    I think you're chosing Reina because you're english tbh

    Possibly I could be biased.

    And fair enough, it's just luck that has him save one today, but his athleticism and reflexes make him a great asset when facing penalties.

    The reason he's only saved a few is because of the great defence, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Aurelio, Risse, Arbeloa and Finnan, who make sure he's rarely troubled from the spot. And the penalties against him I have seen, are saved quite a lot.

    I still think he deserves to be in contention for the votes.

    Contention possibly, but not in the lead, Boruc is simply better, from any point of view.

    Boruc is the best shot stopper in the world, not just for peno's so him for sure.

    Clearly not from "any point of view" as I'm sure if you asked every individual in the world, not everyone would say Boruc...

    Maybe you didn't understand what you were saying.

    boruc or ricardo.
    anything boruc has done ricardo has done too.
    ricardo put portugal in the euro 2004 semi's (?) and the semi's of the WC with penalty saves.
    also scored one

    Maybe you didn't understand what I was saying, rather more credible is it not?

    I was not talking about a persons point of view, I was talking about an athletic point of view, a skill point of view ect. Boruc is better than Reina in every aspect, cathing crosses, stopping shots, 1-on-1 and penalties.

    no but your saying boruc is better and your opinion rules.

    Excuse me, what's pointless? I'm discussing something with another member, where do you come in? I'm saying that Boruc is better than Reina, that's my opinion, and the opinion of the majority so far, excepting one.

    i come into this because this is a public forum.
    PM each other if you dont like it.

    you said boruc is simply better from any point of view not just your own.
    that he WAS the best and if you say other wise your wrong.

    celtic players are always going to get bias votes for them.
    same as rangers players will get bias votes against them.

    some people are talking about a player they dont actually follow... one good shootout?

    Reina saved 3 penalties in the FA Cup final, then he saved more in the UCL semifinal

    but before that, in Spain, while playin for Villarreal, he saved 7 out of 9 spot kicks faced in his last season there

    Ohh look whos suddenly a figure of extreme authority here? As it is a public forum, I have the right to argue a point with another member. You can go to * if you don't like it. I see you've made quite a little habbit of butting in and telling people what to do.

    I said he was better from any point of view yes, but not a persons point of view, a footballing point of view (handling, positioning etc. etc.). I've already explained this once. I think the results of the vote speak for themselves

    He's better from a footballing point of view- in your opinion

    As Tyson said, there'll be many people out there who disagree with that.

    Btw- I think Boruc is a better all round goalie.

    the vote is bias. as i have already stated. celtic players are always going to get unfair votes in there favour. its a celtic forum ffs.

    ehhh...
    what?
    were is this figure of authority? because i said if you dont want other members commenting you could always pm each other?
    i'm not telling you to do anything. do you struggle with english or somthing? its a suggestion not an order.
