I was behind the goal and the video doesn't really reflect how amazing it was. The best reflexes of any goalie I've seen in the flesh. Found it: Great save but for me it’s Niemi double save v Celtic when we came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 the save The save is about 16.10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mundaydog Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 So can he play in the cup on not? Just thinking how good it would be, Gordon saving a last minute Celtic penalty so we lift the cup... the seethe from Celtic and Hibs would be off the scale!!

King prawn Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Really pleased with this - we wouldn’t be in the position we are now with him in goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatsd Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Delighted he is back. A cracking keeper for us first time round and still has a good few years left in him. Don’t think we can underestimate the importance of a decent keeper. A poor keeper causes shaky defence and that causes more work for the midfield defensively and misses them out in attack. It makes for less chances up front and a much more defensive minded team. A decent keeper will allow much more forward thinking from everyone. I think i’ve rambled a bit incoherently there but I know what I was trying to say! Haha. The main thing is a big welcome back to big Craig and it’s great to have a good hearts man back in goals. Welcome home sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 The Rob Jones save was my favourite. In the split second after he'd made connection and the ball flew toward the corner of the net I'd resigned myself to a 3-2 defeat. Craig suddenly appeared, Superman like, and saved the world from the horror of a rare Hibs derby win. I think there was also a stunning bit of goalkeeping in his early Sunderland days that was quite special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll not be looking though, as I'm still cross-eyed at the moment. 💤 I didn't even notice the double Hearts. 😉 The EPL did a 20th anniversary award thing and Craig's save won.

Welcome back Craigy boy. Aye. It may sting because it’s Celtic but the late, great Dave Mackay won major honours and had an affinity with Spurs, it never stopped him being a big Hearts man. John Greig at Rangers. One of Hibs greatest , Gordon Smith, never hid he fact he was a big Hearts supporter. Players are often accused of not being real fans because they played football every other Saturday trying to become a professional, i’ve often thought that was alot of crap. Every player dreamt of playing for the team they supported. Edited June 30, 2020 by Debut 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
