Billy worked with those guys too. Davies and Brown were on loan and I Ieft other clubs' keepers out. Rogers and Lyle are there. In fairness, Peter Logan developed into a good kitman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiepies Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Doyle didn't cost us as much as Rodgers.Who was a great signing and deserved a longer deal according to some on here.Doyle will be a coach and back up keeper like he has been most of his days.He won’t play a handful of games if any over the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casual observer Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Looks like Doyle will be third choice behind Lyle at 2 with an as yet unknown number 1.

Mogwai Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 9 hours ago, MarkyMark said: Coupled with Doyle’s performances last season I’m not convinced that he is going to be able to coach goalkeepers to a good standard. If he has read the books about the mechanics of goalkeeping that Skydog refers to why couldn’t he put this learning into practice in his own game? Was it his physique? Age? Did anyone see anything in his performances that suggest he could teach others about positioning etc. I saw things in his performances to suggest that he couldn’t. As I said there must be more experienced goalkeeping coaches we can get that taking a gamble on Doyle and potentially having to call on him if there are injuries. First, I think we all agree that Doyle's time on the pitch is over. Hopefully TW agrees too, but in the interest of keeping other goalies (when they arrive) on their toes, he should never come out and say that Doyle won't play. Secondly I disagree with your assertion about Doyle as a coach. I’ve worked as an engineer in the private sector and as a teacher, and anyone quoting the old “those that can’t do...” can confidently be ignored as clueless or on the wind up (or both). When the Japanese and South Korean economy collapsed back in the late 90s, the Scottish semiconductor industry was hit hard. Quite a lot of excellent candidates came into science teaching. As did some people regarded as hopeless duds. Thing is, regardless of their previous experience, some flourished whereas others floundered. Teaching (and by extension, coaching) utilises a unique skillset that you won’t have seen Doyle show in a game. Most people haven't honed those skills, just as most people haven't honed the skills to do your job, and so they don’t recognise them in others. Think back to lockdown where many of you were whining and bitching about teaching one or two kids. Pffft! Think about all the praise heaped onto teachers when ordinary folk had to try to teach simple lessons to their weans. I’m not saying teachers are unique in that. Everyone would be heaping praise on accountants if we all had to do our own accounts, or police officers if we all had to deal with what they have to for a couple of months. Again, those who think it would be easy can be ignored because everything’s simple when you’re simple. The point is, we have no clue how effective a coach Doyle would be just from seeing him on the pitch. I certainly don't, but TW must see something in him? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would having someone like Doyle as a goalkeeping coach possibly prevent us getting a decent keeper in this year. Imagine you're an ambitious youngster, or even an experienced pro, you'd look at the infrastructure of the club before you sign a contract.

Behind Rogers and the boy on loan from Sheff Utd… There is not a f**king chance he should be on any sort of playing contract after his performances last season. Would rather put a youth player in there. If things went to s**t and we lost all our keepers we can sign an emergency loan. There should be no opportunity for Doyle to ever pull on a killie top again. He isn’t good enough. I’d be very surprised if we signed him on a playing contract 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I love this “we can sign an emergency loan keeper” way of thinking. Some 3rd or 4th choice keeper with absolutely no chance of getting a game at their own club. In other words someone exactly like Doyle. What could possibly go wrong? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you expect us to be signing? All of the names in so far, are steady proven pro's at this level. Sanders is the exception. Build a solid spine and try get the flair/goal threat in next.

Certainly heard it in Higher Education, in relation to folk who come into a Uni management/business school from a mid manager position in business or industry and bum themselves up about their amazing knowledge, but are s**te teachers, cos they know it all. Getting back to topic. Maybe the angst about 'immobile' will reduce when we sign a decent keeper - really hoping we do soon.

historyman Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I can’t believe this is actually a serious proposition that is being discussed. I assume the purpose of a goalkeeping coach is to improve the ability of the squad of the goalkeepers at the club by training and coaching them. Some posts are saying that you don’t necessarily need to have been a good keeper to be a good coach. Let’s take one example, knowing when to come out and clear or knowing when to leave it to a defender. A pretty basic skill for a goalie. Take the infamous St. Mirren Scottish Cup tie, there must have been about five occasions he should have been out for the ball and commanded the area and didn’t do so. Not only that it looked like he didn’t communicate with the players to tell them what to do either. This total uncertainty actually led to conceding the goal that lost the game. How someone without even that level of ability can be considered to be capable of training and improving a younger keeper is beyond me. If the proposal is true then I think it’s a disgrace and the club has to think again. It’s a slap on the face to fans who watched that clown last season and has been rewarded with a contract. I wouldn’t trust him with putting the kit bag on the bus without dropping it. Edited June 18, 2021 by historyman 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 A club of stature & ambition doesn’t recruit people with no prior experience or proven achievements for key positions. Our manager, coaches, backroom & admin staff should all bring experience to us, & not be learning on the job at our expense. That part of their career should be behind them. And speaking of learning from prior experience, surely the club can’t be going down the Doyle route? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t trust him with putting the kit bag on the bus without dropping it. You really don’t need to have been great at something to be good at coaching it. There are numerous examples of some of the worlds best coaches never having played at a good level (Mourinho, Sarri, Nagelsmann etc). Also many of the best golf coaches in the world never played golf at an elite level. We continually have an opinion on football and think we know better than current football managers etc yet having nowhere near the same experience. As much as Colin Doyle was absolutely terrible last season, in the past he has played for his country and at the top level in England. I’m sure he would have worked under some top coaches and would have learned a thing or two. Ideally would I want him to be signing? Not at all. However, if he is to be signed as a coach (that can play in an emergency) we’ve just got to hope he’s better at coaching than he is at playing now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
