    It sounds as if Truro have brought in Luke McCormick to cover for Tim Sandercombe whilst he is out injured.......reported on Newsnow.

    I still see him as a good goalie......what a waste of a career.........we could have done with him last Wednesday night.......flapper Cole did what we knew he was capable of getting badly wrong

    He was up there with only a handful as one the best keepers we ever..... he has served his time so should be allowed to get on with his life and career !

    Theoretically, you're right, GAT. Unfortunately for McCormick, football is life in a goldfish bowl - every away fixture would be trial by fire from the home crowd and the opprobrium attaching to him because of the deaths of those boys will never leave him. It is sad; I agree he was the best 'keeper we've had for a while and seemed a genuinely good lad. He made a mistake and he has, to an extent, paid the penalty. In a less visible walk of life, that might have been that but not in the tribal world that is League football.

    That's not to say I disagree with your sentiments but only that the reality of the situation would never let it happen.

    I agree with that. I doubt he will ever really move on from one stupid night's mistake. We have all made mistakes but fortunately without the consequences he caused. He has to get on with his life whatever anyone thinks but he is going to get stick forever in his profession.
