    :97: For their 2nd goal, you mean?

    When he pulled off a world-class save from a Balotelli free-kick, you mean?

    When we conceded due to our defence falling asleep?

    Ehhhhh...

    Agreed Ciaran,

    As a keeper if he gets across to that with two hands it doesn't go back into the box as it did with his punch. His arm wasn't fully extended which tells me he could have got there with two, but that's the margins between up and coming keepers and world class keepers.

    Shame he had played well up to that point.

    Gutted for the bhoys tonight!

    It comes of his forearm, hence why it went the opposite way....if he uses his palms then it goes to his left and its away for a corner

    The save from that free kick was world class. Couldn't have done anymore.

    I'm not his biggest fan by a long shot, but he was not at fault tonight.

    Being a keeper at Celtic is a tough gig. Thought he played well and the save he made for the free kick was outstanding.

    The ball was swerving and dipping. Did fantastically well to get anything on it at all

    Thought he was class tonight, his save from the free-kick was quality, could do nothing about the follow up

    Pass marks for the big man.

    Desperately unlucky to concede two, made about 4/5 excellent saves.

    I thought Fraser Forster could have done better at both goals.
    The first although it was a wicked deflection off Izzy, caught Fraser flat footed, a more agile goalkeeper would have had better footwork to try and adjust and get over to the deflection.
    The second although Fraser did brilliantly to stop the rasping free kick, he only succeeded in palming it out directly to two Milan players, a more alert and aware goalkeeper would either have tried catch the ball with both hands, or punched it high over the bar or alternatively to the far sides. Forster did none of these things.

    It's time to put down the Tennents and step away from the interslice.

    No, just no.

    It's extremely hard to react when the ball is going one way and then is deflected at speed a different way, no keeper was getting to that.

    And he couldn't do anymore with the free-kick, there's no chance he had the time to punch it or push to the sides when the ball is coming at that pace and the shot was far too powerful to catch, he did all he could, you just need to hope your defenders get there first in that situation.
