I've still no idea how he got to that, it didn't look possible to save. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hearts1975 Posted June 29 Great signing. Happy with this. It’s our main problem position and to get the calibre of a keeper like CG at this stage is a coup. A steady pair of hands Welcome back Craig - it’s been too long HHGH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hearts1975 Posted June 30 7 hours ago, Nucky Thompson said: I'm happy with him signing for us, although I hated his love in with the tinks It was hardly a love in! Everyone knows it was football reasons only. He admitted he grew up a Hearts boy. Thats hardly having the credentials to create a love in with the Mhanks he won some trophy’s, played at the highest level in Europe etc I wasn’t particularly enamoured when he moved to Septic, but You kinda get the reasons why But love in ... No. don’t think that’s what it was at all. He will finish his career with us and I bet you that will be just as special to him as to whatever “wins” he had with the mhanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course he'll have enjoyed himself and been happy there. You'd have to be a right torn faced ***** not to. And obviously he'll have a bust a gut to get those and celebrated every victory and point that got them. Doesn't mean he was never a PHM. What it does mean is he's a professional as **** PHM.

queensferryjambo Posted June 30 Love Craig Gordon. Ecstatic to see him back home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martoon Posted June 30 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 by Debut 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gregzy2k7 Posted June 30 Great news! I'm delighted he's back! He looks delighted too! This could be a crucial signing for us moving forward and trying to get back amongst the top 4! I'm really happy that we are starting to build a strong team from the back again! The way it should be done, Hopefully the first of a few new quality additions to our team.

Every player dreamt of playing for the team they supported. Perfectly put. I have no truck with those who have a go at Craig for, in effect, being the consummate professional at every club he has played for. He celebrated a treble he had massively contributed to and quite right. When we beat Celtic and rattled goals past him he was raging and quite right. Those having a dig ? Well it says quite a lot about them in my eyes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If only Romanov had kept his vanity at home, who knows what Hearts could have achieved that season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
