    I stand corrected. Genuinely couldn't recall any off the top of my head.

    I think they are all far better keepers mate but the likes of De Gea got slaughtered at the World Cup.

    So going with this. We are not allowed to criticise any of our players when they are making mistakes, as there is a bigger named player somewhere out there making the same mistakes. Hope you haven't criticised any of our players on here, as that would be shocking.

    I have criticised him and others for that matter but for some reason or another he gets blamed almost every week we play.

    Because hes a liability.

    And liabilities will always be focused on.

    CG has done a job. Nothing more. Ppl quoting pishy pen saves against beer sheva etc are deflecting.

    Goalkeeper or not hes supposed to be a professional footballer .... he cant pass, cant distribute, cant command his defence cant come for the ball, cant collect the ball, flaps at high balls, gives away corners by letting the ball run out, cant protect his near post, cant make simple stops without deflecting it over the bar, he tries to make rudimentary saves spectacular... i could go on all day.... and certainly have in the past.

    Ive never seen a keeper who gives possession away as much as him... and we are supposed to be playing possession football.

    All I ever hear is Gordon is a good shot stopper, what about all the other stuff he is * at? I'm not sure Bain is the answer but can say Gordon isn't.

    If he's such a good shot stopper how come it's so difficult to remember when he's saved penalties. I wonder how his save rate compares with other goalies

    He’s a decent shot stopper and nothing more. All other aspects of his game are terrible.

    If I had to provide a list of Celtic players I’d enjoy going for a pint with, he wouldn’t be on it.

    Bain certainly isnt the answer. People would have had a field day in here if Gordon had come for that ball Bain did against St.johnstone.
    Bains distribution isnt much better either he just has a much more natural and calm kicking style while Gordon looks awkward as *.

    CG: We know it’s going to be a very difficult game. We’ve watched some videos, we know what kind of threat we are going to come up against. It’s going to be difficult and they like to make a lot of changes to their team

    CG on injuries: “We would have liked to have everybody available but that’s always going to happen at different times in the season. It gives other players the chance to come in and show what they can do.

    CG: “As a squad we know we have good quality and the ones coming in are more than capable of playing at this level. We trust everyone in our squad and we look forward to the game.

    CG: “As players we are fully focused on this game. We are in control of our own performance. Especially over the last few games, the performance levels have been very good.

    CG: “There’s no better place to show how good you are than in Europe. We are looking forward to tomorrow night.

    He looks terrified at all times, except when he starts blaming others.

    Guys must be looking round and seeing their most experienced player look like a frightened wee boy with his wee goalie kit on. Hardly inspiring.

    Both goals were very save-able . He's got the fear in Europe no doubt.

    Wholly unsurprising that he doesn’t cover himself in glory again in Europe.

    Aye and also not unsurprising he pulled off an incredible save as well.

    It’s so annoying :56:

    He can do * like that. He just disny quite a lot.

    defence far far more culpable again.....think it's a stretch to say he could have saved the first but the 2nd did go through him but from closeish range. However, the ball went right through nearly the whole * defence on both occasions. The defending was * atrocious!!! If i had to sit behind that shower on a weekly basis i'd be * * breeze blocks!!!
