[Football] Whitworth

[studio150]

Looked way too short for a goalkeeper, but showed no nerves and will no doubt have been pleased with his performance.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Gave the North Stand a little clap at the final whistle, seemed to have enjoyed himself

Wanker sign actually hahah

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Thought he deserved his own thread

As well as Whitworth, was there also a "Whitworth fine"
Or am I confusing with BSF - British Standard Fine ....

 

[WhingForPresident]

I know there's some other weird thing that I don't get going on here, but I thought he played very well for a teenager making his debut. Looked assured in possession and made a couple of good stops. Probably their MoM tbh.

BSF was based on it. Whitworth was the first country standard thread in the world. Useless fact all aircraft are built using Imperial.

What is this thread about. Should have saved Sollys effort. Good save from Ali Mac. Didn’t have a lot to do. Thread of a nonce clearly.

 

[BadFish]

Fair play to the lad. 1 good save and not much else to do. If only we'd have kicked the ball in his direction a little more!

Dealing with shots off target is very much how he trains.

 

[trueblue]

Outstanding debut in the circumstances. Very poor choice of club.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Apart from graciously letting Solly’s shot in I think he was superb.

Why the hell we didn’t test him more I have no idea. Long shots, corners etc… it was like we didn’t know he was a short kid.

And departed giving the w️ sign

 

[Seagull27]

Annoyingly he did very well and played with a lot of confidence.

From a family of Palace fans as well, according to his post match interview. Could be fun to have a new face of the rivalry now Zaha is past it (and probably off to Saudi in the summer)

 

[BNthree]

I thought he did well, made a few good saves for them, fair play.

is he the kid that was in the Palace academy documentary ?
if so I rooted for him, he was short compared to others in the academy and had a stutter, his dad was a Palace fan and died from cancer, when he was young.
if so, all bullshite aside it’s a lovely story.

The Palace documentary was filmed last season and the lad you’re thinking of was an under 16 so can’t have been him.

Whitworth is 6"3
Steel is 6"2

Ah your right, it was a young lad called Billy, they look so similar and both Palace fans.

Nevermind

 

[zefarelly]

Great thread.

Thought I’d engineer a thread about Joseph Whitworth, that’s the nuts and bolts of it really.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Made some good saves against us, but it astounded me that our pressing on him was rare. Every time he went long we got the ball back. Maybe we were tired?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Whitworth is 6"3
Steel is 6"2

Really?! I'm genuinely shocked.

He looked about 5ft 6 and 14yo from where I was sat.

Decent keeper though - and what a match in which to make your first team debut!

 

[dwayne]

Whitworth is 6"3
Steel is 6"2

Whitty is 6,0 aparantly.... But looked shorter
