Widge Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 When you look back at Reno Matthew’s stats they’re genuinely awful by comparison to the rest of the league. He may not make many high profile errors, but his save percentage and expected goals sit way below even Uniteds goalkeeper which shows how he performed last year. Yes a brilliant guy to have at the club, but ultimately not an amazing keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point he was asked if he'd consider coaching and he said no, because he still wants to play regularly and doesn't want to accept being a second choice keeper. He was offered a new deal at Raith and turned them down. I'd be surprised if he's not looking to join you with the intention that he'd be number 1 which isn't a bad thing as long as it's only him that's thinking that. He was offered a new deal at reduced terms at Raith. Word was he was one of, if not the, highest earners of a series of signings by John McGlynn that were described as having stupid escalator clauses. 1 hour ago, SJFCtheTeamForMe said: Surely he'd jump at the chance of the likes of a 2 year deal at a full time level as well. Experienced and that kind of signing has worked very well overall for us in the past when called upon. Likewise I don't know how he's performing these days but in his earlier years was surprised he wasn't playing at Premiership level. He’s been at least a top three starter in the Championship for his time at Raith. Last year seemed a wee bit slower to get up and maybe a tiny bit easier to get nicked, but should be an excellent room guy for you, and likely will be helping with coaching.

The Saintee Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Matthews was absolutely "meh" as a keeper. He certainly didn't impress the special needs lads at the Open Night anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 This may be a random question but if during Covid you could have gone to one of these game, what would you choose? League Cup Final Scottish Cup Final Galatasaray away Istanbul for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a deep resentment of Hibs after the 15/16 game at Tynecastle which, for me, saw us robbed of a trophy (we won 3/4 against County that season, drawing the other) thanks to Hendersons dive, though. So beating them in a Scottish Cup Final while they have 3/4 of the stadium would've been sensational. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Really tough question, that. Galatasaray would’ve been absolutely nuts, and as Random says, would be the Monaco of my generation. Being there to see us lift a cup at Hampden and complete the double means the Scottish Cup just shades it for me though. What a batshit crazy 7 months or so that was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sconesaint Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Interesting thoughts. Ibrox away in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup would have been great. However, Hampden in the sun beating Hibs would have been bliss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) The Galatasaray away game would just been a disaster. The pubs filled with Saints fans attacked as revenge for someone from the fcu called them "kebab eating, hair cut providing small club wankers" or something. Blessing in disguise we couldn't go!

tree house tam Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Istanbul away day is the stuff of dreams, although it would've been better if it wasn't at başakşehir but that's a minor irritation. Great food, great city and fanatical fans what's not to like? Also, if they culled a few Saintee types everyones a winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
