Mark Robertson Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I hope this puts to bed any idea that Gordon is better than Jamie McDonald. Ok his defence didn't help him much tonight but his positioning and basic shot stopping skills were woeful and he always looks terrified in goals. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Maybe the red card was from a Craig Gordon fan then! Perhaps they will say..... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 To be honest I really don’t think MacDonald would have faired any better than Gordon tonight. Yes Gordon may be on the decline but IMO he’s still a better keeper than Jamie by a long way. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Gordon, while now on the decline, is obviously a better keeper than Macdonald. I really rate Macdonald too, but he's not as good as Gordon was at his best or even is now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz of the 20/20 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) I thought Stevie Clarke had managed to punt him to PSG, anything is possible at Rugby Park these days. If MacDonald would have kept the score down, Cammy Bell would have kept a clean sheet.

Whilst Celtic were embarrassed tonight (again), Gordon is a far better goalie than Jamie Macdonald will ever be and like Dillinger, I rate Macdonald. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty66 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Gordon suffers from being the keeper in a team where domestically he has very little to do. Hence when the opposition is of a higher standard he is found wanting. I still curse for England's equaliser at Hampden in June. Isn't worked enough in the SPL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I think we should offer Brendan Rodgers a straight swap if it’s so clear. It’s good for Scottish football if Celtic progress in Europe and Jamie MacDonald isn’t cup tied for the Europa league thingy so it’s great for them. Obviously it would be a blow for us but with SC’s contacts I’m sure we’d struggle on. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heynow2005 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I like Jamie but surely this post is in jest ?! Gordon is a far better keeper and he consistently plays against a higher quality of opposition...One of Jamie's biggest howlers was in the Scottish cup final v ICT(I think) so I reckon we can allow Gordon a tough night against the best attacking force in Europe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Craig Gordon and two central defenders are the reason that they are a shambles at the back. He makes clangers most games and is very fortunate that Celtic get too much respect in Scotland or they'd concede far more. Is he better than Jamie? You'd have to say yes based on the level he has played at... however, like Joe Hart for England, I'm not sure how much longer we can persist with him at International level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most of that, excluding him being better than Jamie. I think he is one of the most over rated goal keepers Scotland has produced since probably Alan Rough (who I always thought was a far inferior keeper to Alan McCulloch) I totally agree that he makes clangers most games, try googling Craig Gordon howlers, there is an extensive history of them over the years. I concede that he had a few good seasons early on in his career that got him a big money move down South. Like most keepers, he does make a few good saves but he is barely tested domestically and is always found wanting at a higher level, whether that is in Europe or as the Scotland keeper. I'm not trying to say Jamie is a world class keeper, just that Gordon is not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) The abuse he got online after his howler against Bayern was the worst I've ever seen from a player's own fans.

That could and should have been his last game for his country. Neymar's first goal last night was embarrassing for a keeper to lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
