Craig Gordon

He parried so many shots right out in to the 6 yard box today yet was still praised

 

He's overrated heavily for being Scottish, and also not playing for Celtic helps him with the media. There was a reason he was dropped for Bain. So many mediocre players in our league bugged up because they are Scottish. He is the national keeper purely because Scotland doesn't have a good keeper.

 

He got an easy time far too often while at Celtic as well. Some of the goals he conceded was absolutely honking, but people (fans and media) made out that he was unlucky or that the shots were unsavable.

End of the day, he's a good keeper, but he's lived off his younger days hype and in later years the "he's came back from an injury" and from there, seems anything he does needs praised.
But he's not that great.
He can't command his backline - communication and interactions with teammates is poor.
He can't command his six yard box - almost every team realised against us, that you drop s cross on the edge of the 6 yard box and he will not come for it, while the defenders would assume the keeper had that covered and would fluster at it.
He can't save a penalty - worked out the stats while he was with us a few years back, and the stats for pen saves was absolutely woeful for a keeper at his level.
He gets beat far too often at his near post - although apparently while with us, all keepers get beat there and it wasn't a bad thing. Even though it's one of the fundamental things you do as a keeper, cover your near post. Your defenders expect that, and a keeper expects defenders to cover the back post.

Dry your eyes.

Speaking to Edinburgh Evening News, Gordon said: “I think it’s about a millimetre over the line [Kyogo’s goal].

"How the linesman from 40 yards away can 100 per cent know that’s over the line, I’m not entirely sure. We’ll have to give him it as a good call.

“He was winding me up coming out for the second half, saying: ‘Good decision, good decision, eh?’ I was like: ‘Oh right, so it’s like that?’ Fair enough, he backed his call. I thought I’d saved it.”

 

Why is he so bitter towards us? We dragged his * from the gutter and revitalised his career, giving him the chance to win trophies and compete in Europe.

He's a very ordinary goalkeeper who is capable of the odd worldie. I couldn't wait to get rid of him when he was here. He seldom made important saves like Boruc or Forster would. Could never count on him to dig us out of a hole either. Didn't he save just one penalty in his whole career here? In fact in Europe I'd go as far as saying he was pathetic - never felt comfortable with him in there, he single handedly * the tie vs Inter too.

 

So he’s now moaning about a decision that was called correctly then?

 

Only in Scotland can a linesman be questioned for getting an over the line call correct. Laughable, if not obvious.

 

Well ye didn't save it. Bitter * man

 

No wonder he's * honking...* * blind.

Clear goal...watch it back in any televised format and it is evident the ball crosses the line without a doubt.

Dry yer eyes ya big slug.

 

Cuz a dirty filthy Celtic hating *.

The only thing turned my stomach more than watching him flap about in our goals was seeing his little * boy brigade on here tongue kiss his *.

His behaviour before he joined us was disgusting. Constantly moaning. Training with Sevco with his cap in hand.

His behaviour when he was with us was more so. Constantly blaming his TEAMMATES for his * errors. Flapping about like an epileptic fish in nets, constantly getting beat near post, constantly parrying balls out of touch he could easily have held onto, to make it look like a save. Constantly parrying big standard crosses or floaters over the bar, to make it look like a save. Missing passes, punting the ball out from goal kicks. He was an utter * disaster.

His stats in Europe were posted up by a fellow member on here which proved he was the WORST goalkeeper in EVERY euro competition...two * years in a row.

STILL * on here were giving him their hoop.

Now hes yapping about correct decisions.

Was * at Hearts. A * at Sunderland. A * with us. And guess what... Hes still a *.

 

Well seen he's not changed his snidey, * attitude. Never liked the *.

 

how the * can you complain about the linesman making the correct decision, needs to * off already

 

He can be a bit of a gype, and he certainly likes a brainfart, but we cannae deny that he's had a great season. Definitely in the conversation for the POTY award (but - for me - doesn't win it).

 

So it’s fine for him to shout at the linesman and tell him he made the wrong decision but feels it’s disrespectful when the linesman jokingly let’s him know it was the right call after reviewing the video.

Ok Craigy boy.

 

What a throughly unlikable human.

 

It truly is so clear. I was just thinking that as I watched him after the final whistle this weekend.

 

Always been a thing that’s happened that
