Goalkeepers' Union

International week means zero focus on the Premier League and Championship, so we've offered a quick take on England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland's exploits in the first two of the three games for each over this period.

We also touch on the few games in League One and League Two.

Plenty of playing-out-from-the-back errors witnessed this weekend, yet none of them the fault of a goalkeeper. A pair of horrid goalkeeper own goals, too. Again, nothing Dan Iversen nor Matt Ingram could have done with their respective in-vain efforts.

In Spain, Sevilla stopper Bono bagged a last-minute equaliser at Real Valladolid, while Can Tho's Pham Tran Tranh Vu (that's the Vietnamese second tier, if you're wondering) saved a penalty and celebrated by knee-sliding right in front of the referee.

Aside from all that, there's all the action and reaction from the Premier League, EFL and the FA Cup to cover.

Head of Goalkeeping for the FA and England. Not a bad title, is it?

In this podcast, we discuss the DNA of an England goalkeeper and what the future holds for England goalkeepers and goalkeeper coaching.

Tim also explains how he worked his way up the coaching ladder and the multitude of techniques he adopts to being the best out of himself and those around him.

Quick one today.

We touch on another solid performance from Edouard Mendy in the Champions League (six clean sheets in a row now) while reflecting on the key moments in the EFL.

Unsurprisingly, Rich and Matt disagree on a couple of moments from League One and League Two.

Edouard Mendy's narrative seems to be swinging back in his favour following another clean sheet against Leeds at the weekend. We look at the Senegalese stopper's performance and remarkable record since joining Chelsea in the summer.

Dean Henderson has helped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to four consecutive Premier League clean sheets for the first time since becoming Manchester United manager. With Jordan Pickford possibly out of action for a few weeks, what next in the contest for England's No1 at the Euros in a few months?

All the standard EFL action follows, plus a Keeper Caper all the way from the Bundesliga.

Messrs Ederson, Marchesin and Bono were all guilty of a cheeky tête-à-tête with outfielders and, needless to say, we're fully on board. (Got to give it back occasionally, haven't you?)

We cover the best of the action from the Champions League and the latest round of games in the EFL, including a Text Talk with Fleetwood Town stopper Alex Cairns.

Chris Wood made Arsenal pay at the weekend, but who was really at fault for gifting the ball to the Burnley striker? And is this just another example of how Risk vs Reward is now simply a part of the game fans have to accept as the norm?

All the key goalkeeping action and reaction from the Premier League and EFL coming up.

Plenty has been crammed in today, including a new addition from a lad named James Mayley. You may have seen his posts on Twitter regarding analysis of League One goalkeepers. Here, he explains a bit more about it.

All the latest from the Premier League and EFL as per.

Aaron Ramsdale kicks off this podcast thanks to an impressive performance in Sheffield United's defeat to Liverpool.

Elsewhere, the Dubravka/Darlow debate rumbles on at Newcastle, as does all the action from the EFL. Playing-out-from-the-back alert.

Every so often, we filter through one of our Patreon podcasts.

This time out the subject is Ostersunds Goalkeeper Coach, David Preece, a real gent with a real passion for goalkeeping, and one he articulates so well over various platforms.

Here, we focus on his coaching philosophy and just how he made a name for himself as one of goalkeeping's go-to pundits on social media.
