    Hi!


    I don't rate him at all, think he is literally the weakest link in our play the past two seasons.

    But even my dislike for him as a player, I wouldn't be as petty or cuntish to chase him down in the street and be a * to him.


    Guys doing a job, for me not good enough, but he's only doing what he can.

    Was a good free transfer and his time has come to end for me.

    He is an excellent reflex shot stopper..

    But that’s it, Bain has made the defence much more solid and confident..

    Thanks but see you.

    Im not his biggest fan but certainly dont hate him. I appreciate and respect what he has done for us. Celtic and Craig Gordon have both been great for each other.

    On his day he is a great shot stopper. But at times his decision making is woeful, numerous cases and examples. Very questionable distribution at times also.

    Iv always felt we should have replaced him with better some time ago.

    Id be happy to keep him as back up but i think he will fancy one or two more seasons as a no. 1 at another team.

    He would go with gratitude from everyone here, i am sure.

    He’s a bawbag and a * keeper. Haven’t liked him since the Inter game.

    He is no Forster or Boruc but he chose us over the unwashed and did a reasonable job here for a long time. He deserves to be respected.

    Cheers for your time her Craig, had some blinders but in the end not good enough with the ball at his feet.

    Move him and Dorus on, get a few youngsters in.

    Not true.

    They simply didnt want him as they didnt want to risk his injury popping up again and were * skint.

    Mccoist claimed they did indeed offer him a contract but rumors at the time from der hun fans claim it was a pay as you play deal that gordons agent refused to even discuss.

    We should bit chelseas * hand off when they came in for mr jambo

    Craig Gordon has been a decent servant for this club and an absolute joy to watch at times. The way he takes his man on, twists and turns and glides down that flank, pops one into the box for Big Rupey McTupey to bang in, well, for me it's more than magic.

    So, Its not true that they wanted him, even though their manager at the time said they offered him a deal(and therefore wanted him)?

    Errrr okay...

    He didn't choose us over them. He trained with them in January, he didn't like the deal offered. Celtic asked him to train and signed him. A great deal as they saw a free keeper which allowed them to sell forster without needing to rush a transfer and pay over the odds. Obviously Forster was better but he would have been off anyway

    I am with you there. Did a good job for us while he was our number 1. That time has passed now although I would be fine with him staying next season if he was ok with being Bain's backup.

    He has done a job but considering we have been spoiled when it comes to boruc and forster, he has done a good job.
    Has he been any worse than big rab, gould, hedman.....the list goes on.

    But I must say....thank * for Bain. Breath of fresh air and he just gets it anaw

    The player said they didnt offer him a contract, our manager said they didnt offer him a contract, stevie woods... who cleared out lennoxtown for his "trial" so sevco wouldnt find out, said they didnt offer him a contract.

    The only sevco source who claimed he WAS offered a contract was salary mcmoist, and that contract would have been offered by a sevco board synonmous with bullshit.

    But yeah... suppose you can believe what you like about who offered who what.

    Cant believe this myth of him being anywhere near a decent player for us is still being peddled.

    Hes been a * walking disaster zone.

    His stops to shots ratio is * woeful, literally the worst in europe.

    Aye between 15 to 20. There’s some amount of * taking up a wage at the club.
