Keith Hackett is right if Doughty had picked up the fact that Brice was barged into by a Middlesborough player, he could have intervened and stopped anything further happening, but like most refs in the Championship he was lazy and incompetent. I don't agree with many on here, Samba is an excellent 'keeper, and we would lose him at our peril.

It wasn’t a barge more just a nudge. The ref is not responsible for players reactions and actions. That idiot just keeps giving. O’Neil would have told his players to antagonise our keeper, and no doubt would have told the ref about sambas time wasting and and man handling of players. You can’t fault the ref for that despite how poor he was over all… time will tell how costly it might turn out.

People see a few mistakes and can't wait to jump on the bandwagon. Anyway, it is what it is. He's suspended the Horvath gets his chance. Had a stinker of a debut but he must have something about him.

I agree bsered, Samba is an excellent keeper, and has done more good than bad. I was trying to remember the last good goalkeeper we had, and that was Lee Camp.

De Vries was quality and after Camp I think.

Samba is a very good keeper at this level and has proven time again he's one of the best in this division. A bit sad people are just waiting for him to mess up so they can say told you so.

There's been some cracking eccentric keepers over the years, Grobs and Barthez spring to mind, any others?

Ethan gets his chance now, really hope it goes well for him, he is playing in a much better performing team now, but big game for all on Friday.

Jose Luis Chilavert and Jorge Campos - You don't get much more eccentric than those two :)

Ooo, Rogerio Ceni too! Check his goals to games ratio in Brazil lol.

Have you seen it back? Jagielka barely touched him. Even calling it a barge is going some. Possibly more a case of something said I’d expect. Either way silly reaction and I’m sure players like Cook and Worrall will have been having words with Samba never mind Cooper.
