niblick1874 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The things he did before and when leaving Hearts for Hearts and including what he did for Tynecastle boys club, has always been the first thing I think of when I think of Craig Gordon. What a goalkeeper. what a Hearts man, what a class act. Welcome home Craig Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want us down and/or out. Sorry, not happening. I love it. There’s an incredible sense of satisfaction at people/enemies who want you to be down and out for so long & are now almost absolutely exasperated with frustration that it never quite happens. It’s like the Hibs fans that sent emails to Lithuanian politicians. The knowledge that your bitter rivals and enemies are so absolutely pathetic sad and utterly feeble is an absolute pleasure. As we’ve recently demonstrated hearts are in a strong financial position with a fanatical, stubborn, determined and united fanbase. Hearts are a picture of strength and resolve at the moment. It sickens our exasperated enemies and I love it. Keep it coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Reekin' Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 27 minutes ago, ToqueJambo said: A couple of bad mistakes aside (I remember Rousset being described as brutal after his first few games) Doyle wasn't that bad. 13 games, 14 goals conceded and 6 clean sheets. I remember some good saves that helps us win points to counterbalance the bad mistakes the cost us points. Either Zlamal or Doyle would be fine as back-up. I'd rather keep Zlamal though. Point taken but he seemed to inspire absolutely no confidence in his defenders - although he had Zlamal and Pereira for company there - and letting that goal in vs. Motherwell was one of the worst pieces of "goalkeeping" I've seen in a long while. However, if he proves to be an able deputy for Gordon in any games he's brought-in* this coming season, whichever league we're in, I'll be delighted.

Ex member of the SaS Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Don't understand the age barrier thing with footballers. An 80 year old granny can run a marathon so surely a player ( especially a keeper ) who has trained all his life and has a high standard of fitness/ sports nutrition etc, can play beyond the quoted age. Keeper don't run the length of the pitch and as long as they keep injury free I can't see a barrier to playing into the mid to late 40's. It's all about a level of fitness.

If you have a contrary opinion, that's fine with me. He's by no means desperate for a contract, he was offered another contract by Celtic but turned it down because he knew he wouldn't play regularly. Apparently has aspirations of playing for Scotland again and that's not going to happen sitting on the bench at Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) There was save he made against Motherwell at Tynecastle during our Burley run that was just incredible and won us the 3 pts. 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.
