    Guy's a * legend, he was pivotal in the victory over Barcelona.

    Gordon is showing promise. Does he have what it takes on the big stage? We'll find out.

    Really? Gordon is the main reason we got we qualified out of our Europa league group. Gordon is a proven international and English Premier league goalkeeper.

    I have seen some ridiculous statements on here In my time and that one is right up there with the most ridiculous

    EDIT(I realise guy above is saying the same thing didn't see the post until after I poste)

    You're talking about gordon as if he's some up and coming keeper:smiley-laughing002:, he's played in loads big international games, lots of premiership games and a few big european games for hearts even

    He made arguably the save of the decade in the EPL for Sunderland. It was ridiculous.

    He didn't "always crumble" against us. I can almost guarantee that you have one incident stuck in your head(our last minute winner at Celtic Park when Gordon fumbled the ball into the net) and it has mushroomed into the view that Craig Gordon never played well against us.

    If you can come up with a list of examples of when Craig Gordon "crumbled" against Celtic then I would like to see it.

    Great keeper, maybe a bit slow for the St Johnstone goal but his other save was outstanding. One of our best ever transfers if he keeps it up.

    Top keeper. Better than Forster and Boruc.

    I have supported Celtic since Frank Haffey was in goal,and in my opinion we have been lucky as * these past few years to have had three goalkeepers like,Artur,FF and Gordan.

    For a team that historically was never known to have top class keepers, we've had three * crackers recently,in fact four if you add Marshall.
    Now if we could only find another Henrik.

    I think people are forgetting how times Gordon has saved us this season.

    It's only in recent weeks we've been looking good and solid at the back. Before we were very dodgy and Gordon saved us game after game.

    Looking at those top 10 saves, he's had more and better than than for us so far this season.

    Everyone knew Gordon was a great keeper. Remember at the time he was the most expensive keeper in the UK.

    The only thing that scared people off was his injury history and long lay off.

    The guy thought himself his career was over. He's clearly worked harder than ever and cam back better than ever.

    He's a absolute top drawer keeper, no question.

    It hardly warrant's the capital lol moment..

    He's been excellent since day one, he already commands his box better than the other 2 ever could and his kicking isn't anywhere near as suspect..

    He might not be near the others as a Celtic player yet but he's six months or so in the door.
    He's a top class goal keeper what ever order he comes in the 3..

    For me boruc was world class here, Forster was exceptional at times and in some areas but weak in others..

    I already have Gordon number 2 in class, on MY list..

    It's a matter of opinion, but Boruc and Forster on top form or Gordon just now, you could make a case for any of them.

    I wasn't goning to bother My * I've already said I rate him now! The one you speak of where he "fumbled the ball into the net yes your right it was only once he did that maybe to was twice? But in a different game but the word I used was "crumbled"

    Hearts v Celtic 2-3
    [ame]http://youtu.be/ProdEU6CLVs[/ame]

    2-0 up does shockingly bad for all 3 goals! First 2 he came out for and crumbled the third was just shocking on goalkeeping standards

    The one your thinking of also does * for the first goal at the corner
    [ame]http://youtu.be/WmthmI75doU[/ame]

    First appalling second was a good strike and third done ok to save the first but his response from a poor header was rotten
    [ame]http://youtu.be/JAmjDDh6jz0[/ame]

    I've made my point hearts beat us 2-1 and 3-0 at tynecastle before when he was there and I can't remember him contributing to it

    If your telling me you seen any other performances for hearts other than playing us or the Huns your lying! I've made the point he always crumbled against us and wasn't really all that good! Known for the odd good save....

    I'm just glad we have him now and he had stepped his game up! It also shows in these videos he wasn't really good at commanding his box either back then

    I'll await your * reply!

    I was going to reply to your post until I reached here. What age are you, 7?

    I won't waste either of our time by responding any further.
