Professional football players 'support' whoever pays their wages at the time.   


Money of morals then and was hardly skint when deciding to join a club that support used to abuse and chuck things at him for five years and now is a fabric in their recent history. Even now he’s still kicking about waiting for an offer to stay with them as a sub.

Some absolute rockets on here doubting Craig Gordon is good enough or committed enough. 

An international class keeper who Chelsea wanted about  2 years ago(albeit as a backup) 

And he is not good enough for us as he celebrated saving a penalty (his job) or good enough to play in the frikken championship as he is not great at crosses (ffs) 
Add in the fact he would be the perfect mentor to the most promising young keeper in Scotland and it makes doubting him even more of a nonsense.

I can safely say I wouldn’t play for terrorist loving scumbags for five years and lap their support up for anything.

Professional football players tend to go where the money is. Morals do not really come into it. Professional players tend to go where they can make the most money in the shortest time and hopefully win silverware.  Pro's  tend to have relatively short careers compared to us mere mortals, so grab the moolah whilst they can..    How often have fans abused players in other teams, but would have them in their own team in an instant.  Scott Broon and Neil Lennon are obvious exceptions!!

Why can’t anyone have an opinion about playing for Celtic without bringing up Rangers.  
 

If I was Craig Gordon I wouldn’t have played for any of them.  Rangers have been shite the past five years and he could have done better professionally and morally than both 👍

There’s other teams and there’s Irish Celtic.  Scummiest fans to ever sit in the Roseburn end at Tynie.   I would play for any other team apart from them.   At least if it was Hibs I would have the underline belief that they are shite and bitter and I support a bigger and better team and kind of doing them a favour in some ****ed logic way.  Celtic, best fans in the world IRA lovers and they absolutely despise us, I could never stomach it let alone ever clap the ***** :lol:

Because it’s relevant. There are a lot of people on here with a massive hatred of Celtic, but who have, shall we say, a bit of a soft spot for Sevco.

 

Edit: and having seen your latest post, no need to ask which group you fall into.

So basically we shouldn’t sign any players who support or have played for terrorist loving Celtic......

 

The level of rocketry on JKB increases by the hour.

Okay.  Well I’ve been accused of supporting them both weirdly.  I’ve a massive hate of Celtic yes, more their support although I didn’t publicise it when pressed before because it was irrelevant in the context of some arse saying I was a Tim.  When it comes to the opinion of playing for them though I describe why I couldn’t.  I have no like of anything Hun either but there’s no hate there.  I hate everything Celtic fc stand for including proclaiming the freedom fighter shite.

Who said that?  Everyone’s a rocket that has a difference of opinion you seem to say.

 

Who has said at all we should never sign anyone who played for Celtic? I love Craig Beattie and Baggio and even more so JC.

Well done in dodging the question. Celtic and Rangers are equally scum. The fact you can’t bring yourself to say that says it all.

 

And I’d have played for either and kiss the badge every game for £20k a week!

Are you saying that unless you are a professional football player you are not allowed an opinion?  No I’m a normal human being with no thoughts of celebrating terrorist organisations or joining such kind of establishment regardless of the money.   I’m sure I wouldn’t become a website publisher for the Real IRA if they offered me more money and plaudits than my current employer either :lol:

They aren’t equally as scum though.   One is a lot higher scum than the other. 
 

That’s up to you.  Craig Gordon was a millionaire before he took the Celtic job too mind you just for some context.  He wasn’t plucked from ardmillan terrace on his way home from working in Tesco.

What I mean is that if you are not a pro footballer,  so you are not playing for any pro team.  So your claims of who you would and wouldn't play for are moot.

No.  Just the parts that state what you would and would't play for as it is irrelevant, owing to you not being a professional football player.

Recent history proves Craig Gordon signing for Celtic was a great career move.

 

Now let's hope his next move is to us and is highly successful too.

Somewhere in a parallel universe Celtic fans on a Celtic forum are ripping into their prolific No. 9 Last Laff who refuses to acknowledge the fans who pay his salary.

Speak for yourself my friend.  I would never find myself in the employment of Rangers, Celtic or hibs and I'm certain I'm not alone.  Each to his own.

It depends if you could get similar wages elsewhere though.  Gordon wasn’t going to be homeless and hungry had he not signed extended contracts with Celtic though sure after he used them to re establish himself he could have got a great amount of cash elsewhere also.

In what relation is that to waiting for a player to sign an offer of contract for us when he’s  still kicking about waiting for Celtic to offer another contract when he’s meant to be a Jambo?  Mojo shat in Celtic also.  Beattie hadn’t been there for years.  Baggio and JC we got the best deals by far.

Tbh, I don't like the fact he went to Celtic. I'd have chosen Hearts if they offered me 4-6k a week and Celtic offered 20k, especially if i was already loaded. I suppose from Craig's perspective he won a number of trophies and played if the CL, so maybe he was right to sell his soul. 

 

At the end of the day though, if he's in between the sticks for us, he will do his best for the team and no one will care about him playing for Celtic if he does a job for us.

Meanwhile back in the real world real people accept the best job offer that matches their lifestyle requirements. 

 

Craig Gordon is much better than anyone else we are likely to attract. 

 

He is a substantial mark up on the shit that has been ****ing up our last couple of years. 

 

No brainer

He’s still kicking about waiting for another offer from Celtic to stay in paradise with his Celtic tv presenting wife though when we have offered a contract.

 

Millions of quid and trophies maybe but sitting on their bench for a few extra £ so he can be there for 10?  If not he will come “home”. Nah **** off.

Yep, it was that much of a major deficiency he’s amassed 54 caps, Young player or the year, Player of the year x2, top 10 finishes in the EPL, EPL best ever save, Celtics all time appearance holder for a goalkeeper in Europe and over a dozen winners medals. 
 

Still got a few years to add to that too, hopefully with us.

 

Imagine what he could’ve done without these ‘major deficiencies’. . . 

👏👏👏

Fair doos I'm poor at golf too, however turning out for the mass murdering weidge 11 is a stabbing to far, it would have to be the Saughton 11 for me, I take it everyone who is complaining about Craig taking the Celtic £££, isn't married with a couple of bairns, everyone goes where the money is, get a grip, we've moaned over the last two years that our keepers are  ""Tom Kite""  if someone would like to name a world class keeper that's within our budget, I'm all ears
