Gordon's saves were good ones but world class? Nah , knew that if he made a good save it would be hyped up
It's funny how when things are going against you, things come back to bite you, eg the wee laddie at West Ham the week before scoring against us at the same place he couldnt get a sniff despite our strikers being shite for long enough.
So the other night we had Craig Gordon making 'worldie saves' FFS, Forrest hit precisley where he shouldn't have and the last save was by any stretch of the imagination something even Barkas would have saved.
People have got caught up in the heat of the goalie situation and made CG out to be a huge loss.
I get that. He's far better than Barkas and would seem to be an answer the press has used to highlight the disaster of the current situation. I pointed out last night that there were no complaints when he left and i also remember well the clamour to get Bain in goals ahead of him.
Gordon was a good goalkeeper from the moment he signed, did well for a long spell. When the snake fucked it up with De Vries he gave himself a shake, got a bounce and found something within.
In the end the reality of his departure is forgotten, we had just had forster for a year and were expecting him back, bain was considered by many as the better of the two, so gordon really left without a whimper.
good servant, no negative words from me, he'll be remembered fondly, but not revered like the Forster year or the Holy Goalie
Any other story is media driven or a distortion of the truth.
He's been in a jersey that SP should have donned but couldn't give up the pumping, we shouldn't hold that against CG
