    Old Forster's mistakes were just as bad, and on occasions worse, than Boruc's tbh.

    And that's why I think he deserves so much praise - he's almost eradicated any kind of mistakes from his game completely now. The improvement has been unreal. As I keep saying - his work ethic is what I admire most, you saw him out there every half time working on his collecting with the goalkeeping coaches and obviously behind the scenes he's put in bags of effort to improve. With the confidence since the first Hearts penalty save he kicked on and became a completely different keeper. One who not only hardly makes a mistake and plays consistently, but who actively wins us points. At times he's virtually the only reason we get points. MASSIVE respect for the big man and the way he's turned out. Onwards and upwards because right now he can continue at this rate of improvement and be as good as he wants to be, there is nothing to stop him :50:

    Did anyone honestly expect him not to save the penalty tonight?

    Camera cut to him after the saves and the penalty and he looked both delighted and proud as punch at the same time.

    Ah right......sort of the same way Lennon heads and kicks the air as if he's playing with the Bhoys :50:

    Never saw that with Woods - what a job he has done at turning this raw big dope into a class act.

    Seems sacrilege but I've been increasingly thinking the same.

    I don't want such thoughts.

    His performance tonite was World Class. There is not many better keepers going about than this young man at present. Has all the right attributes to be the best. The Spanish press has named him well " The Wall"

    I'm not picky.
    I only managed to catch the 8 min highlights from the SPL YouTube channel but from what I saw of him there it looked like he had a superb game. Excellent double save from Hearts free kick, the penalty save and another excellent stop from a Hearts free kick in the second half.

    Just continues to get better and better.

    The double save from the free kick was outstanding. I didn't even doubt that he'd save the penalty when it was given.

    Gotta say the big guy has turned out to be something else. Not sure if I would say world class, mainly cause I don't want to jinx the big fella ! But, I do enjoy listening to everyone else saying he is.

    Signing of the season for me and dare I say it a better investment than big Vic?

    Didn't manage to see the game but was listening to it and just knew he would save it.

    the form big FF is having at the moment is unbelievable.
