If Kinsky isnt good enough then we need to buy a new goalkeeper if we want to elevate ourselves in the future. I expect we dont though.

Kinsky most definitely isn’t good enough. There’s a reason he’s backup to a shit goalie.
Fair enough.
He had an opportunity against Newcastle and made a mistake as Vic has done tonight.
Looks like Spurs will need to go into the market eventually then.
Ditto.
The fact that he didn't hoof it wasn't even the most worrying part.... It was the fact that he looked all set to play some suicide pass back across his own 6yd box and leave himself even more stranded than he ended up being.
Absolutely ludicrous. Utterly stupid.

I'm going to say a few things in support of Vicario. I don't like the way he was booed during the match - that's something that should be reserved for people like Sol Campbell or players who have disgraced the club in some way. I'm in complete agreement with Thomas Frank on this.
Vicario has put in some good performances in recent matches and has often been the only player in the team who turned up (the Monaco match springs to mind). It was a ridiculous mistake of Heurelho Gomes proportions but I think Vicario still has a bit of credit in the bank. We should probably be looking for a replacement in the summer but for now he's what we've got and we need to get behind him.
In January, we should try and get a better backup for Vicario than Kinsky.

Vic has proved time and time again that he is a Heurelho Gomes regen. His shot stopping ability is fantastic but every other part of goalkeeping his is not good enough. He punches everything, including a lot that he should catch. He cannot be trusted to come and claim high balls into the box. His kicking is awful. He gets flappy and flustered too easily.
And to make it more frustrating he sees himself as some kind of leader in the team and has the balls to call other players out when he's the one making everybody around him nervous as fuck.
Not good enough for a top team, should be looking at his long term replacement asap. He's had long enough to show us his true potential, and it isnt good enough.

100% Even his 'apology' on Spursplay after the game was a qualified apology, not the total grovel that it should have been.
was only a few days ago that Vicario was apparently the best thing in the world and everyone saying he wasn't good enough was clueless
I didn’t hear any booing only ironic cheers for a few mins which Frank also called out as wrong. Do we have audio of the boos? The ironic cheers are just a British humour thing & didn’t drag on.
I missed his howler but heard the ironic cheers which in my block seemed to be followed by chuckles hence why I don’t think it’s bad or should be called out.
If people can’t be laugh and take the piss at being 2 down to Fulham at home in five mins conceding goals like that what are we supposed to do
It’s better than screaming and hurling abuse no? It’s an emotional game! He handled it very well in the interview IMO.

Trust me there were many loud boos. Many.I didn’t hear any booing only ironic cheers for a few mins which Frank also called out as wrong. Do we have audio of the boos? The ironic cheers are just a British humour thing & didn’t drag on.

Specifically at him or the team? Can’t say I heard them but I’m closer to the back of the south stand than front.
From the TV, it was him.
I was calling him many terrible names.
He's basically the Goalkeeping version of Richy...
He can do amazing things occasionally, but so often does things like tonight that make you wonder how he ever made it in this profession!
Some of Richie's Goals this season have been sublime (Burnley and Woolwich spring to mind) but that just makes it even MORE infuriating that neither can seem to do the BASICS right, like control a ball...
Neither would make it into many other top PL teams..
. Let alone BOTH in the same ONE!
Eh? I'm also at the top of south (although we moved to row 13 behind the goals for 2nd half cos it was so empty!) but it was clearly Vic being booed and it was fucking horrendous. As was his mistake.
Fair enough i think at home it’s a different bar.
If people want to boo to express dissatisfaction that way it’s a reflex as old as time.
It’s the apoplectic rages and abusing players pitchside that’s over the top IMO.
I heard a lot of boos after the second goal didn’t register they were for Vic but like I said I missed his howler and had quite a hectic entry with it kicking off outside.
Nothing seemed over the top from where I was sat in 322 though.
Tbf it calmed down pretty quickly as the normal sane fans told the boo-ers to shut the fuck up and they did
I don't think there was any need for him to humiliate himself any further. He made a mistake just like any other player could have done and he apologised for it. I just want him to focus on the match against Newcastle on Tuesday night - there should be plenty of opportunity for him to redeem himself at St James's Park.
Fair play I don’t get involved with telling people unless there is horrendous language and kids are near. Seen too many people recently bite back and end up scuffling.
Really is sad times.
