    When you see a GK getting lobbed more often than not they are rooted to the spot, no point in flapping at something that you will never reach.

    No. I'd rather lose a goal every game and win the league, than keep 24 clean sheets and finish 2nd

    People see 6"7 and believe the myth he can't get down fast enough, it's nonsense.

    Zaluska over Forster is absolute crazy talk, luckily Lennon can see Forster's ability. Along with Newcastle that were very reluctant to lose him and Norwich that would have loved to hold onto him.

    He going to develop into a top goal-keeper by the looks of things.

    so davis' goal in the league cup final was a "myth"? the "myth" is that because he's big he's automatically able to dominate his area at set-pieces and is imposing when he comes off his line.

    and i would play zaluska purely because he was given a chance and hasn't made any costly mistakes yet, at the moment i don't think one is better than the other although forster obviously has more potential as he is younger.

    It's not a myth, it's something I've decided by watching him,

    Aye Newcastle must have seen his talent, that's why he's their 3rd choice, and that's why they've allowed him to go back out on loan. They obviously value Tim Krul higher.

    He may develop into a top goal-keeper but i'd prefer someone who's already a topgoalkeeper,

    Astonishing so many Celtic fans are happy with us signing a third choice Newcastle keeper who has often seen to be a liability.

    I'm guessing you have several examples of why this is true?

    I had hysterics with the comment someone made 'people dont like him just because he looks like Frankenstein and has no personality'. Kept me awake creasing myself for about an hour that did. All we need now is some sort of head injury and big bandage and he will also be 'the mummy':56::56:

    Celtic where never known to have good, goal keepers, yes we could get a first choice keeper, but the money will have to be there also every team in the land, thinks there goalkeeper is there number one.

    I don't see the problem, Neil has tried to sign a better keeper, had a few failed bids so deciding to go back in for Forster, safe option.

    He's not a top keeper but he's a good SPL keeper and has 25 clean cheets in his debut season was it?

    I'm satisfied with Zaulska and FF as our main keepers, would have loved Given or someone but we have to be realistic now.

    I hope he continues to improve and grow into a better keeper.

    There are certainly worse keepers, welcome back big man. Think he will continue to improve, I'm of the opinion that he is good enough.

    I would say we have looked at keepers and it has come down to money i do not buy this pish he was first choice if he was first choice he would have been here sooner.

    That being said i wanted the big man back here and am delighted just wish it has not a loan deal .

    Forster 2 poor punchesin a row, WHY THE * DOES HE OPT TO PUNCH EVERY * TIME, HE IS 6 FOOT 7, CATCH THE * BALL, AND START AN ATTACK FROM TH BACK, DON'T PUNCH AND GIVE POSSESION BACK TO THEM! :31:

    If i were Zaluska i'd tell Lennon tomorrow that I'm leaing.
