Beast Boy Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) I don’t even class all Celtic supporters as being ‘Celticky’. Neil Lennon is the archetypal Celticky *****. THE sort of pricks who think Celtic are a religious and political institution as opposed to a ****ing football club.

Gives the Gorgie a clap before the start of every second half. I also remember he refused to take part in an over the top celebration which involved every other Celtic player at Tynie. May have been after they tied up the league. Showed his class and headed up the tunnel. Craig has always thought the same as Christophe in the wanting to end his career at Tynecastle.

His choice was made because Celtic (and I hate this bit), took a gamble, gave him a chance to prove he wasn’t finished. He retired two year before signing for them then as he thought he was done....they took that opportunity and to be fair he grabbed it. Not the player who left us, but still better than what we have, in a heartbeat I’d have him back in the sticks at Tynie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Gordon is passed his best, but he is still better than our current two keepers. In fact, I’d have more confidence in Jamie MacDonald, too. Replace our keepers with both Craig, and Jamie, and we will have two better keepers.

AlimOzturk Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Crazy to think he is 36 now. I remember him breaking through the ranks and couldn't believe we are able to produce such a fine keeper. Has had a good career. Would have been great had it not been for injuries.

luckydug Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I think Craig Gordon wasted time on a couple of occasions when Celtic were leading against us at Tynecastle. Makes him a snake in my book and should never darken our door again. In fact he should have his FOH membership cancelled and all his contributions returned to him. All reference to his time at Tynecastle and his many match winning saves for us and his cup winners medal should be struck from the record books in the museum. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deevers Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 No problem with Craig coming back here - Hearts have always been his first love. Playing for Celtic has always only been a job for him.
