    Gordon was a bargain at first but his decline was exponential.

    Gordon while Ronny was here was brilliant, his performances in Europe basically got us into the last 32 against Inter where he unfortunately then * it up. Still mind when he made the mistake and then the whole ground was chanting his name.

    When Rodgers came in and wanted him to play it out from the back is where it all went out wrong and to try to be a sweeper keeper.

    Wasn’t as much that the sweeper keeper, * was incapable of saving a shot at his near post.

    His kung-fu kicks never helped or taking 30 seconds to pass the ball to one of the centre backs. But aye he would make some class saves then concede easy ones.

    This guy has proved in the past that he is calamitous at times and he showed it again tonight. He is guaranteed to cost us goals. He is just about acceptable as our No.2 but never is he the quality to be Celtic's No.1 Keeper. We have to persevere with Barkas and pray to * he will start showing why we shelled out £5 million on him.

    6 games and 12 goals, only 1 clean sheet since he won his place back, 7 games 13 goals in all. Why is he getting played?
    Barkas has played 14 conceded 11 with 8 clean sheets.

    Lennon's biggest fault is hes a member here 100%

    Everyman and dog moaned for bain to be played because barkas was *. Were no the manager though, yet he listened and dropped him.

    Then * moan ntcham should play, the almighty hero, memories of brilliance. He plays him, hes pish. Again were no the manager.

    Litterly every decision is what we go on about, or the complete opposite to show us were wrong and he * it. Genuinely needs to get off here, were a bunch of loons :56:

    Stats don't tell the full story though, take the 6 goals conceded against sparta and hibs, not much he could do about any of them, barkas has barely made a save since joining us and from past displays looks more likely to concede goals he should save than bain does.

    Unfortunately we have 2 bang average keepers to pick from right now!!

    while i dont think hes a terrible keeper the fact that without putting in any amazing performances our 3rd choice keeper becomes our no 1 in this of all seasons is shocking

    Not at fault for either goal yesterday, or probably most of the many thousands of goals we've lost of the llll few weeks. But still he ain't good enough to be our number 1.

    Can't be too harsh on Bain, but he is what he is, not good enough to be our number 1 as you say.

    13 conceded in 7 games with 1 clean sheet.
    Barkas 11 conceded in 14 games with 8 clean sheets.

    "Oh but I've never seen barkas make a save" is wrong, but even if true, so * his stats are clearly better and deserves his position back.

    Just because some folk haven't seen him do a back bending save in a Celtic shirt doesn't mean he is absolutely * and Bain deserves to be in front.

    It very well may turn out to be that Barkas is not good enough either, but literally by the stats, he is better than Bain and has done * all wrong.

    6 of the goals conceded literally can be pointed to Duffy, 2 was world class shots that no keeper was saving bar sheer luck. 3 he can take some blame, but not sole blame. 2 of which was clearly a break down in communication, soemthign that we can understand considering the new squad, the * defence and the foreign language he is learning.

    Hardly worth dropping the guy like he has been and persisting with Bain.

    Who, Bain is more than decent enough to be our back up, but that's it

    All of what you say is true, but even then the fact that we've spent good money on Barkas means he should be starting. By all means leave him out for a few weeks if he's struggling with confidence, but to persist with a guy who was number 3 last season is poor management, the priority should be to get Barkas hungry and confident and it should not be taking this long to do it.

    Decent goalie, nothing else.

    not blaming him for anything though as he’s been pretty professional anytime he’s been called upon.

    Absolutely man, 100 percent.
    The management of it has been shocking.
    But that's nothing knew when we look at other players, Turnbull for this year's recent example where even the * Christmas ad poked fun at him being forgotten about.

    I'd love to know what Turnbull thought of that when told "we want you to look sad, lonely and forgotten about David, as if you're not wanted at the club"

    Aye that was interesting to say the least. I don't find that funny in the slightest, and although turnbull himself was obviously on board himself I doubt he finds it funny either underneath the smiling exterior.

    Crazy to think of the list of things that are not right at the club.

    Forster can go * himself.

    He was offered a return (AGAIN) and refused to go fight for his place.

    He can continue chasing that shadow..:

    Would rather keep Barkas than Forster. Big lurch can go * himself

    Just isn’t true at all.

    Quite a few people did, aye. I’d like to think most, or at least some, of us remembered that Bain was third choice goalie for a reason and that Barkas was fine.

    Not sure what some are expecting from Bain. He’s bang average and should never be our first choice keeper.
