    Sounds like the type of * Michael Owen or Commons would come out with when talking seriously about a teams stats...

    Michael Owen probably calls for a hand-ball every time the keepers picks the ball up!

    Didn't know that. That's interesting.
    Gordon is the best goalkeeper in Scotland IMO, arguably even further, because i don't think there are that many really good goalkeepers in England.

    Sometimes I yell handball at the television when everyone is watching rugby. It really is quite hilarious.

    He nearly played in Onyekuru I think it was in the first 20 minutes or so. There was another offside where he tried to get to the rebound and fumbled it terribly.

    That was it haha. Just wish he would hit the heights of his first season again. Genuinely thought we wouldn't have to worry about a GK anytime soon as he was pretty close to Forster that season.

    Unbelievable save. As good as, if not better than his famous save whilst at Sunderland. World class.

    Class.

    That's a few belters he's made now past few weeks. Funnily enough after someone posted in the needing a new keeper thread saying theyd never seen him keep us in games with saves like Boruc and Forster :56:

    Has great reflexes and is a great shot stopper.

    Gets on my nerves at times when he starts * around but all in all I'm happy for him to be our number 1.

    Neil Lennon believes Craig Gordon's save to potentially deny Hibernian all three points at Celtic Park was the best anyone will see this season.

    The Celtic goalkeeper blocked Steven Whittaker's effort from close range on 65 minutes when the score, which ended 2-2, was still level at 1-1.

    Callum McGregor and John McGinn, who had both opened the scoring for their respective sides went on to each add a second goal for their side deep into the second half.

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers described Gordon's save as "unbelievable" and Lennon was left frustrated by his incredible efforts.

    "I thought we were a little bit impatient with the ball in the first half but the second half was fantastic," he said at full time.

    "We took the game to Celtic on every opportunity. The game could have went either way so I'm very pleased to come away from here with a point.


    "It was in the balance but I don't think we set up to defend all the time. My back four were outstanding and the football they played was great.

    "And I don't think you'll see a better save all season from the one Craig Gordon produced. How he saved that is beyond me.

    "I know he has his detractors at times but that was a truly world class save."

    Such a boruc save that was. No right to save it but he managed it.

    I hate to be THAT *, but that was a pretty lucky save from Gordon.
