    that's something he needs to work on, it's * ridiculous that he's not catching the ball.

    i dont know how he played toniht, causei had more importan thing to attend to.

    first * game i've misssed in ages,and the first game i've not seen either on the internet, at the game or on tv, since i was about 8 :56:

    I'm not happy that Zaluska never started though, he has been fine hasn't made a mistake, apart from in a friendly.

    Couldn't believe it when I turned on the radio at Glasgow Airport we FF back. Really not impressed by the big man never feel confident with him betwen the sticks and I dont think he is the answer to our GK problems.

    I'm hope tae * I'm wrong and will only too pleased to come back here and admit it. Equally I wont say told you so. By the way I hate Flybe they * up my flight today and made me late which meant I missed the game .... Pish :47:

    He was fine tonight. Sorted just about everything that needed to be sorted. Not bothered at all by most of his punch outs, as it's simply a matter of clearing the lines when you are unsure of whether you can catch the ball. After the incident where he clearly was fouled and almost lost a ball and the ref didn't call anything, I'd have been punching the ball as well.

    I thought he looked confident and assured and his kicking was good with both feet.

    Absolutely no worries on the goalkeeping front for me.

    Sorry guys, but not impressed by him tonight. If that was Zaluska that continued to punch the ball, everyone would be on his back, FS:31:

    I dont know, the man can't catch the ball, despite being inches bigger than everyone else in the box.

    it's ridiculous.

    he's not the answer, and the board have gone for the easy option

    this rant isn't because of tonight's result, i obviously ain't blaming him.

    But I'm not happy with the signing, and again he opted to punch and give away possession rather than catch and build up an attack from the back.

    Cheap, easy option from the board, should have a better goalkeeper between the sticks.

    I also ain't happy that Zaluska never started tonight, i hope the man moves on, not treated well atall, didn't even make a mistake on Saturday, infact i think he got MOTM, and still gets dropped.

    shown no respect or faith, and i hope he moves on for his sake.

    Too many people seem happy enough to stick the boot into him for nowt:38:

    What * more do you he was fine did nothing wrong clean sheet , kicking was fine even when dan put him under pressure. two or 3 really good punches which cleared the danger zone if he wants to punch and clear it like that all good.

    Seen people putting the boot into him when he went to take the ball and was fouled so let it go got down and pushed it away again while being fouled, * back the big man ffs.

    Celtic have totally * Zaluska around. Why the * did he get dropped? Just as his confidence is starting to build, we start with a guy we signed last night. Forster was poor tonight, but surprise, surprise, people still suck up:31::31:

    He was fine. Has a couple of needless punches in the last five minutes but was generally solid. His kicking was decent too considering he was passed to under pressure a few times.

    Played decent enough, only had the one heart in the mouth moment in the second half.

    All this 'poor Zaluska should never have been dropped' is so transparent. People don't feel bad that Zaluska isn't in the team, they just don't like Fraser Forster. If we'd signed Artur Boruc would anyone give a flying * about Lukasz Zaluska's feelings?

    I think not.

    You can't have a keeper who can't catch . He is a liability

    No problem at all with him tonight, never let us down last year. Happy to have him back between the sticks.

    Spot on.

    Folk are asking what he had done to deserve to be dropped ? Well for starters he's let us down in big games before, and also he was shaky as * at the weekend despite the token confidence boost of being awarded sponsor's MOTM. If he had made the same mistakes as he did at the weekend then they could have been punished by a better team and the tie could have been over. That's a risk we could not have afforded to take.

    Bit of both, I do feel bad that Lukasz hasn't got the chance to keep his place despite having 3 solid performances in the SPL.

    I also don't like Forster, and that is partly why i think Zaluska should have played.

    I believe whoever the new keeper would have been should have fought for their place.

    punching at fresh air in the last 5 minutes when he could twice have caught it and rolled it to the full backs to start an attack. thats not good enough

    The only thing I'd fault Forster for was one ball he didn't punch or catch near the end and seemed like it was going to be a tap in. Except from that he was fine. A lot of other problems were on show tonight.
