    I can just picture it, a scene fae 'oor wullie/the broons' at CP.

    BR... 'whit huvva' telt yeh aboot lumping that baw up the park'
    CG... ' i didnae mean it, it wiz' a bobble'.
    BR... 'dae that again an' i'll pit ma' fit in yer *'...

    Seriously though, there's a time to get rid of it and defend again from up the park.
    Overall, i think Gordon has come on a lot from when Brendan first took over(sry for stating the obvious).

    I didn't know that letting 3 goals in at home to Salzburg and 4 away to Dinamo Zagreb is exactly single handedly getting us to the last 32? Is that the right attitude to have even if that were the case? Gordon was * for all the goals tonight but aye * it he had one good game in the group stages. If any team gets a penalty against us were as well as having no keeper in the goal at all.

    He actually signals to Ralston before hand, to play it up the park, it's still Gordon's mistake, but sometimes either the defender or GK just has to clear it, even if it does mean gettin an earful fae Brendan lol.

    It's the fact Bitton is standing in 20 yards of space to Gordons left yet Gordon kept giving it back to Lustig or Ralston, mistakes happen but he does that too often. Gives teams playing us confidence to press high knowing Gordon might * it up.

    The last time we played St Johnstone, Gordon did the exact same thing as he did on Saturday, he passed the ball straight to a St Johnstone player on the edge of the box, anybody else remember this incident, because I do ?
    It didn't cause a goal that time because it took the St Johnstone player by surprise. But they obviously remembered this faux pas by Gordon, and did their homework on him in their pre game planning. You can be sure other teams have now taken note and will act similarly.

    15:35 in Hamilton game tonight, Gordon hoofs the ball forward.




    Just thought I'd mention that for those who think he is told never to do such a thing.

    Ha ha ha. Very good. You've been waiting for that.
    I remember the one you mean. It was a lay back off the left from Tierney or McGregor (most likely Tierney) and Gordan side foots it about 35 yards straight to Scott Brown.
    That's not a hoof surely?
    A hoof is an aimless lump 60-70 yards up the field.

    Aye, was very impressed with the take down from brown for that.

    Far from a 70 punt, certainly. But still not playing it on the deck as we know brendan likes to play.

    For the St johnstone game, he really should have done something like he did tonight. Twas poor from him in that game, but tonight he has been strong and firm and quick to react. Pleased with him.

    I've said it before, it's not just the fact that he's a poor goalkeeper that makes me dislike Gordon.

    It's more the fact that every time he makes an * of something he shouts and bawls at everybody else.

    Definitely the worst trait for any footballer to have at any level in my opinion. Hold your * hand up.

    He's done that thin air punch too many time's..

    Starting to get on my nerves again..

    He's letting some absolute shockers in just now. Better up his game and I'm gonna say it, his attitude as after that St Johnstone joke, I'm questioning how focused he is at time's..

    Its the one position we should got a replacement for in the trans fare window,hes an average keeper and we need more than that in Europe.

    Not great.

    However the 4 players standing watching the guy get a free header shouldn't be ignored just so he can take a pounding.

    Poor allround.

    There's normally a valid point though... How were they allowed to get a shot, for example.

    He's a great shot stopper but he does have faults. I'm not sure it would be as easy as some think to get a better replacement.

    Like the start of last season it's become hard to defend him again.

    Gordon flapping at thin air again and leaving his line unguarded.
    He is becoming a worry.

    Thought he had a decent game. But again, for the goal questions need asked.

    He committed to it, but then didn't go all in, he was never getting to that when he decided not to go full in.

    And why was he ever trying to palm that away? That's the sort of cross a keeper should commit to and go in two hands and bring it to the ground. Not punch it away.
