Joe Lewis

[therealsouthstander]

We all know players have a peak in here so if you're reading this Joe , we don't blame you one bit for that goal tonight.

The ball obviously took a massive bobble and no keeper could have done any better..

Hopefully this doesn't affect your confidence min..


I thought you were excellent again tonight so keep up the good work..



Signed

I blamed you to start with but my stream had gone funny. Once i had seen it slowed down its nothing to do with you. Was it a divit or an object

Do me a favour and give Rooney and Taylor a good hard f@cking punch each

Cheers Joe

[donsdaft]

The voice of reason stander min.

The phrase "bobble" is much overused.

Nae in this case though.

What a dick you are not only Taylor getting it you are now onto Rooney. I'd love to give you a punch

Am i not allowed to.complain about player mistakes on a forum. Is that what you are saying

[sheepcrooky]

It's a Lewis thread.

Outstanding tonight, commanding in the air, good shot stopper and good distribution throughout. That goal pretty much summed up the tie for us, just unbelievable we did not get through.

Lewis will be a great signing for us.

Agreed just like Rooney has been

[RedStarTorphins]

It looked like it hit an object such as a lighter, as opposed to a bobble.
You saw big Joe pick something up & throw it away.
Summer the night up.

I ken its a Lewis thread. Hence my tongue and cheek statement about him doing me a favour. Folk need to lighten here up for f@ck sake.


Anyway im hoping you are correct. He was good tonight and ace v Ventspils away so good signs so far. The other bonus being that if he unfortunatley gets injured or banned he has an able deputy

No probs. We are all hurting. It's not like Sociedad or Almaty. This year we were by far the better side and a mixture of bad luck, bad refereeing and basic errors are out.

I have no problem with fellow Dons fans feeling pi$$ed off tonight, I am.

[Feck_the_Huns]

Fack it, sh1t happens. On another night he takes a touch first to control it then hoofs it but let face it, we were never going to win tonight. Rooney was always going to miss a pen at some stage in his AFC career, the ref, well, lets not even discuss him, then that piece of horrendous bad luck for Joe.

Peace and love, Dandies.

[Jussi]

I hope our goalkeeping coach can incorporate some specialised training.

A half dozen divots in the 6 yard box ..

[87kilos]

Looks solid. These things happen. Horrendously unlucky tonight but if we keep up that level of performance this year I'll be proud.

away legs are always hazardous . It was the ample opportunities we missed in the home tie that scuppereed us.

Or lighters. Thats what i thought lewis threw off the pitch

[xtrmntr75]

Seems a decent keeper. Tonight just wasn't our night, from the penalty to their goal. Hopefully doesn't affect his confidence. Just one of them

[Gallus79]

Agree, he'll for me.

We shouldn't have any GK problems this season between Lewis and Alexander-which is a great place to be.

[DonVincenzo (The II)]

For clarity it wasnt a ƒucking bobble..it was a tectonic shift

[DandyDons1903]

I feel Lewis has been exceptional thus far. At least relative to what we're used to. He has all the attributes that we all wanted in a goalkeeper. Commanding, dominant in the air...

During the Langfield era I developed...for want of a better phrase...an arse clench. Danny Ward relaxed my arse, but unfortunately, Scott Brown re-tensed those muscles. I now feel like I'll never be able to return to the halcyon days of assured goalkeeper kicking, but Joe is beginning to help me through my troubles. (tonight excepted)

[Sidney77]

Very similar to the one that caught Robinson out for England. No blame to the ''keeper for that.

[KIWIRED]

Joe is a sound keeper. Keep the faith he has done nothing wrong. Just one of those things

[Winston78Snelders]

We have our number one, great game tonight for the brown bomber ;D
I am sure he may make a mistake or 2 through the season as all good keepers do but with Joe as no.1 and Alexander as back up we have 2 solid keepers (oh oh, did I just jinx it?), so next thing to sort is the defence, well centre backs.

Bobble was a joke but hey-ho, move on COYR

Sort what? Taylor and reynolds were immense all night last night

[Fitehillsdandy]

been lucky to be at all 6 euro games. Before last night (just got name- knackered) Thought Lewis hadn't been tested apart from shot stopping. Thought last night was the first time he had to deal with a proper team who know how to pressure a keeper at set pieces and he really commanded his box. Confident display which bodes well for this season.

COYR

[Winston78Snelders]

Immense? Maribor going forward were poor but i still felt we looked shaky at the back, hopefully match fitness but against better teams i think we could be in trouble (just an opinion).

One minute the ball goes under considine's foot with no opposition around him (no bobble) then he pulls off a cracking tackle but he looked very jaded. Taylor & Reynolds gave away a lot of free-kicks in silly positions. Not punished this time, just think over all from a defensive point of view we could tighten the CBs

[Aldo1983]

I see all three "expert pundits" on BT have him as their goalie of the year.

[Pacman1903]

See when they showed his highlight reel, it made me smile as hes a proper keeper. The save v the pigs was phenomenal and the close range header save at county wasnt to shabby either

[Aldo1983]

He's a 29yr old man stuck in the face of a man from the 1950s.

[Pacman1903]

16 shut outs this season is it? In 38 games. Id fully expect that to get beyond 20

Anyone stats dudes ken what our record is over a season.

He won a ten year argument I had on here. But more importantly, he plays well for Aberdeen:)

He likes Mumford and Sons though. Hmmmmmm

He's a c*nt, there's no place for him at Aberdeen & I can't believe I was that wrong for 10 years

[Pacman1903]

Aye we need a Cheap Trick loving keeper

[Aldo1983]

That was Clangers. They can both **** off.

Nothing wrong with a bit of folk rock now and again. Not exactly prog but most types of music (other than qwad awful country sheite) have a place in life.��

[Pacman1903]

Back on topic. Hopefully he breaks the twenty mark. Its refreshing to nae sh@te it every time the balls in our defensive third

[Spielführer_1903]

From watching the Dons since around 1996/97 (I'm a young un), I would say Joe is the best I've seen between the sticks for Aberdeen. As said before, a proper goalkeeper and even better than Ward.

[medw1311]

Derek Rae just said that Lewis has been offered a new contract but remains to see if he signs it or not.

I heard that but thought he was talking about Taylor..:confused:

[deedon]

I heard that but thought he was talking about Taylor..:confused:

The one I heard him say that about was Taylor. Because I remember thinking at the time "oh f*ck,,," :(

[Aldo1983]

It would be good to get him signed up longer though. He's probably the one player we can't replace and I doubt we could sell him for a small fortune either.

[Pacman1903]

Theres a poll on the Daily Ranger website asking if he is the best keeper in Scotland. Currently 55% think he is.

[Mason89]

45% that voted are f*cking idiots.

Suprisingly low

[andoplzcumbak]

That's a huge amount considering most of the voters would have been tims and Huns.

From the BBC rumour page, Aston Villa sent Tony Coton to watch Joe Lewis.

Well, if they have a spare £3m, he could be off. He is by far the best keeper in our league , a great age for a keeper and he’s English.

We wouldn't have a game against Celtic coming up would we....?

[Aldo1983]

We wouldn't have a game against Celtic coming up would we....?

To be fair they did have a scout at the game. It's only natural that he would be looked at elsewhere, he's the best keeper in the league. Doesn't come across as the kind of guy that would have his head turned by this.

Agree with this and i wouldn't be surprised if quite a few clubs are keeping an eye on him. As we know good keepers are a prized asset and wouldn't be surprised if a hefty offer it placed at some point over the next year.

I think he'll be valued at 2 million depending on who's looking.

[Mason89]

We’ll sell for £1m, then after half a season with Villa, Liverpool will offer them 4 million gabillion zillions

[neilthedon]

...............and then loan him out to Huddersfield.................or Bolton,...or......Yeovil.

[Pacman1903]

End of the day. Hes just signed on as he is getting a decent run in a team which he hadnt had in a few seasons. Clearly happy here. He wont be going anywhere

F@ck everyone else.

'mon Joe min.

Sounds very like Johnny Hayes.
New deal, likes playing for Aberdeen.
Decent offer comes in and the club sells.

I'm sure the same would happen with Joe. He might even have a clause in his contract which convinced him to sign the extension.

Im speculating but i dont believe he would have a clause. One the club are surely not that daft and two hes getting regular games

Based on what?
Hayes played regularly.

[actonsheep]

Its different for keepers though - 92 keeper spots vs 920 outfield spots each week in the English leagues, no chance of the odd game here and there slotting in at left back/centre mid etc. Offering someone a secure spot as first choice keeper has massive value.

I get that, but we have Rogers in reserve having served his time at Falkirk.
If the price is right, Joe will go.
I expect quite a few watching in the coming months and if he does well, don't be surprised if there is an offer in the winter / next summer.

How good is Rogers?

[afc1903mad]

How good is Rogers?

He did quite well in the championship, even named in the Championship team of the year, despite the presence of SevCo, Hibs and maybe even Hearts.
He also won numerous award and accolades as the Falkirk keeper.
He's obviously yet to prove himself in the top league, but he probably deserves a chance when Lewis moves on.

He's also been called up to the senior ROI squad.

Maybe Mason saw more of him when at Dumbarton where he also won awards and can comment more

Come on man, play the game.

How good was Lewis in our league before he played there?

By your token, we should never sign anyone or play any youth that have not already established themselves in the league we play in.

Lewis played in a higher standard of fitba previously

[RedStarTorphins]

Not half as good as Joe Lewis, wasn't even getting back in to the Falkirk team at the end of last season after recovering from injury.

[actonsheep]

Aye, no doubt there'll be interest - was thinking more in relation to him having a release clause. The guarantees given to Lewis may well be related to being first choice keeper rather than getting a move if a decent offer comes in as was the case with Hayes. Hopefully if there is an offer we're in a position to turn it down.

[Jupiter]

So we'll be needing a new goalie in January.

Hopefully it won't be a numpty as that would ruin our whole season.

[donsdaft]

If we are still at the top of the league I would expect an offer from Celtic

[Mek]

Im surprised Celtic havent come in for him yet.

Tbh if we are still thereabouts (or, heavens forbid, top) in January Joe might want to ride it out for the rest of the season and stick his name in the history books being a non-cheeks winner.

I really hope we are in that position, but I doubt in today's game at our level it's a deciding factor.
As others said above, if Celtic make a reasonable offer, he could view the option as more money, more exposure (champions league) and more likelihood of trophies.

And then get full exposure over the following few days in the lead up to the game next week.

[donsdaft]

If we were top of the league in January then Celtic making an offer would be them trying to guarantee their Champions League money.

So, in those circumstances I would be prepared to consider offers over 10 million

[afc_1983]

Amazing that a story in the Sun - yes, the Sun - that reports on a Villa scout attending a match and extrapolates from that that they'll bid for our player (despite the fact they seem keen to keep the keeper they already have on loan from Man U) grows arms and legs to the extent where people are genuinely fretting that Celtic will poach him in January.

Only Aberdeen fans...

What's Villas plans post goalkeeper loan?
Normally a loan helps tide you over till you get the right replacement in.

[Heed_Don_In]

Gordon at Celtic falling out of favour, it would not surprise me in the slightest if Celtic declare interest. Better keeper, unsettle nearest rivals, deal bargaining with others players....makes sense.

[Mason89]

Some of the saves Gordon’s pulled off this season have been outstanding but his decision making is gash. I hope we fire in balls between him and the overrated centre backs on Wednesday

[Heed_Don_In]

Gordon dithers about with the ball at his feet thinking he`s Maldini, we need to get right on top of him fast and I think it`ll pay off.

In fact, we better have a right go on Wed or ill be pi$$ed off. Take a draw, a win would be marvellous.

[Mr_Grieves]

If he does go at least we'll get a decent fee for him.

McGovern is 2nd choice at Norwich and would be worth a look as a potential replacement.

[Pacman1903]

.....is back in training

Start of April return potentially.
