" David Marshall is a terrific goalkeeper. Certainly kills that old nonsensical cliché about Scottish keepers being useless."


David Marshall was in goal last night as Scotland beat Ireland 1 nil.

Marshall was a remarkable performer for Cardiff against all-comers in the Premier League last season. He made more saves than any other goalkeeper in the division and was hotly tipped for a move to Arsenal or Southampton.

' David Marshall '

"Yeah, there were a lot of rumours. I think there was some interest in the summer, but it never got to me, it was all done between Cardiff and other clubs. I never had to make a decision so I never got to the stage where I thought I would leave.
"You hear about it and you have mates who tell you about it. And my brother, who's football daft, would give me a phone, but it was in the summer, so that's okay. If it was in January, it might have been tougher to get on with the football.

"Cardiff has been the best time in my career. We've had our ups and downs for sure. The stuff with Malky (Mackay, the former manager) was played out mid-season, which is never great. There was so much pressure on us with a new manager coming in and, when he came in, we had Man United, Arsenal and Man City, so it couldn't have worked out any worse. It's more stable now. Russell (Slade, the current manager) is in now and he's been great. We'll pick it up, I'm sure. We won't be far away come the end of the season."

He played well last night. Looked comfortable for him apart from 1 great save from McGeady. Took a few corners and got hit heavily on 1 but held on and won the freekick.

Cardiff legend who could have easily jumped ship after relegation

Marshall was top drawer on Friday night.

Caught everything he came for and pulled off a cracking save from Traitor McGeady at 0-0 though it's the sort of save we've come to expect from him.
