    It’s a pity opponents wouldn’t take shots from the penalty spot. He’s a great shot stopper don’t ya know

    Brendan really needs to sort this out and start Bain. Gordons distribution is * shocking and actually encourages teams to have a go...

    Would honestly be better with a cone in goals at penaltys.

    I would like a new keeper. But I'd also like Brendan to recognise hes asking to much of him to be a baller. Hes tried, he cant do it.
    Nerve wracking watching him first half with ball at feet.

    It's getting to the point I think he knows he isn't liked by a lot of the support so just does thing's for a laugh..

    Honestly should never play for us again..

    You can complain about penalties but he usually isn't the one giving them away.
    While I know we could do better and think they will replace him next year there is positions we need to focus on ahead of our goalkeeper.

    I had this wee debate in my heid the other week. I couldn’t think of one but I think there definitely will be.

    We’ve had periods of pish goalkeepers whilst I’ve been a Celtic fan, it was our calling card for a while. Gordon’s problem is his misplaced arrogant bastardness, I genuinely think he had disdain for us as a group of people and he’s only at Celtic for a wage. That’s the feeling I get.

    I don’t doubt he’s liked in the squad or whatever but he’s a bawbag and ultimately he’s no good enough, especially for a Rodgers team. The fact we signed DDV and he was instantly our number 1 until Barca proves Rodgers was/is of the same opinion but has shelved it as a priority for whatever reason.

    I personally think we NEED a keeper in January for the qualifiers, even if he doesn’t come in and take the jersey straight away - just to bed in properly.

    The thought of playing Valencia with a guy in goals that will keep handing them the ball back when we’re trying to get a foothold in either game fills me with rage.

    He's only saved a handful of penalties in his career are people really surprised he can't save one.

    At least ball would be safe over the sideline! It's when he passes to someone surrounded by 3 opponents....

    Gordon is pish, but he isn't the one selecting himself in goals, or dictating the playing style. It is just insane to include a goalkeeper into recycling possession if he's as bad with his feet as Craig is.

    I don't dislike Gordon. He's not an injury faker that wanted a megacontract.

    If he was only after money he woulda went to Chelsea last year ,br had watched our games before coming here and knew his weak point so covered that by bringing in ddv,who proved a whole lot worse and its his improvement and displays that have kept him number 1.
    No player or keeper is without fault or hasn't mistakes in them its the nature of the game ,he excelled against Salzburg after mistake and played very well against Leipzig,eventually Bain will take the spot until then he is a good enough keeper unless we want to spend 20 mill to get one who will be the finished article .

    Your timeline is wrong, for a start. Gordon was his keeper for a number of competitive games, there was literal months between Rodgers being Celtic manager and DDV signing.

    If Bain was going to eventually take the spot he’d have had it before now because he has done nothing wrong whilst Gordon has been * kick outs into row Z his entire tenure.
