Ive also been Impressed with him this year.

Aye he's done very well this season. Certainly deserves a Scotland call up. Though he still needs to work on certain aspects of his game.

He has been very steady. I've never been his biggest fan but fair fucks to him, he's done well this season.

 

Aberdeen FC legend and goalkeeping coach Jim Leighton – whose 26 league shut-outs in season 1987-1988 still stands as a club record

 

And to think we didn't win the league after keeping so many clean sheets.  Pretty much says it all about Porterfield's tenure.

 

Never really been one of his harshest critics and I am pleased for him, he's not had it easy and sometimes made things hard for himself. Still an ignoramous though.

he'a won us quite a few points with some brilliant stops since he came .

Thank fuck he has been playing well and not been injured as I wouldn't want Bossu playing! Wonder if he can make it to the end of the season without having a clangfest.....

Oi! Don't say such things, you'll jinx him

I think praising him in the papers may be more likely to jinx him

Leighton doesn't usually come out in the press at all, and it's a fairly comprehensive article, also not full of the usual cliches. He does afterall basically say "I thought this guy was shit", so Jim's not worried about jinxing it, we shouldn't be either. 

This is unbelievable. Protest anyone?
