He was pleasant and approachable, not big headed in the slightest. He was out injured at the time and showed me his finger which had a knuckle swollen literally to the size of a plum Showed you his finger in the Sauna. Sounds very steamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Carson for me. Slightly biased as Poom nearly ran me over once whilst driving away from some event he had opened. Poom's lack of facial hair also an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion he was on a par with the great Peter Schmiechel. Absolutely. We were lucky that the top four were all happy with their keepers at the time. Dominated the whole 18yard box in the air. Always caught it too, probably better than Schmiechel in that respect. Just never looked like anything bad was going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Daly Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 My recollection is that he was a little bit shaky to start with that first season at the BBG, then went on to be fantastic at Pride Park. He could certainly have played for one of the biggest clubs, shame he got injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still miss the old place 21 years on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 For me Carson is a very good keeper but Poom was world class for a while. Glad we have Carson now though. There are worse keepers in Premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@M Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 If he keeps this form for another season (in the prem ?) I would place him level with Shilts....for us. And on this seasons form, he is the best England keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssendonRam Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Carson hasn’t scored as yet. Unfortunately, Poom did that for Blunderland against us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just after Poom and the top 4 keepers became more dodgy, Brad Friedel came to prominence with Blackburn and was deemed one of if not the best around. Poom was at his level but whereas Friedel got the recognition Poom didn’t. His command of the box was unrivalled, his shot stopping ability and ability to save shots down low were awesome for someone at 6 ft 5. When sky sports news used to do save of the week, he once had 4 entries in from the same game! All worldies - against Everton I think and we won 1-0. His distribution however was crap but the game was different then. Carson is definitely the closest we’ve had to Poom since and I think at the end of his Derby career we will be talking about him as better than Poom. But he needs to do it in the Prem for us. Carson has good command of his area (but not like Poom)his shot stopping is as good as Poom and his distribution (while it can improve) is better. I also think he is a calmer presence which is a real positive for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BathRam72 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Poom has played for his national team, Estonia a total of 120 times, Carson has never played for Estonia. So Poom is far better obviously!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Willow Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Mart Poom was a great keeper at the time, I actually started to follow Rams when he was at the club. I was sad to see him being sold to Sunderland, but that's how it goes in life. The career of a professional footballer is relatively short, 10-15 years at best; and every player has make maximum out of it during his playing time. Scott Carson is now at the post, he is doing a great job. He is just like a fine wine, the older he gets - the better he is. The comparison between two of them is not quite adequate and appropriate, as they played/are playing at different times and at different level.

Gerry Daly Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 At 32, Carson could easily play for us for 5 more years by which time I would hope he might have got back in the England side because we are in the premiership. Its not unrealistic to think all of that may happen and then he would have to be seen as our greatest ever keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
