We should have paid to get him in January and we wouldn't have been thrown out of the league but just so happy he is now our guy again. Spot on. If we had Gordon in goals last season we wouldn't have been demoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloustonHMFC Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Craig Halketts comments in the pre-game presser are very telling too. Constantly talks about how he has much more confidence with someone like Craig Gordon behind him. Top keeper, looks like he's loving life at Hearts but so do the rest of the team too.

gowestjambo Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 It shows the folly of not replacing the 3 Stooges last season. Craig Gordon is better than the 3 of them put together. Great to see his enthusiasm for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts1975 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Absolutely outstanding keeper. He should be immediately reinstated to the Scottish National team as the No1.

jambonian Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Big Craig has proven he's still got it and will still be in International squad plans. You can't not pick a player who's at the top of his game and if Clarke doesn't, just because he's playing Championship this season then he needs to have a word with himself. I was happy, although slightly hesitant given his age and lack of games, to hear we were signing him and said at the time he'll maybe take over as goalkeeping coach long-term. The difference between Gordon and Pereira, Doyle & Zlamal is night and day. We have a history of top goalkeepers, certainly since I started going to Tynie in the early 80s. Henry Smith, Gilles Rousset, Antti Niemi, Craig Gordon, Marian Kello and even Jon McLaughlin have been the benchmark that others have had to live up to, and that's not an easy thing to do. People like Nicky Walker, Craig Nelson, Roddie McKenzie, Zlamal etc. had a lot to live up to. Actually, Neil Alexander did us a solid turn as well. I wonder if Neil Lennon is starting to regret not using Gordon more these last couple of years? Gordon's experience will instil confidence in those in front of him.

DS98 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 A new work colleague moved up here from down south in the summer. He’s an Ipswich fan but he works with me on a daily basis so he’s took an interest in Hearts. Loves big Christophe. Even before last night he was absolutely dumbfounded as to why Craig is playing with us in the 2nd tier of Scottish football. After every game he’s txt to say we’re so lucky to have him. And he’s absolutely right. Sounds daft but we’re lucky he had that really bad injury period or he would still be playing at the top level in England or abroad. We’re lucky Celtic made a total arse of it and ****ed him about or he would still be their number 1. And most importantly we’re lucky he was brought up a Jambo! Bet Hibs are gutted he wasn’t of the green persuasion. You can tell he’s back in love with football and he’s got years left in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Can't see him not being called into the national squad this time round so had a little look at impact on our fixtures. (Thu) 12 November - Serbia (Final for EURO 2021) (Sun) 15 November - Slovakia (Wed) 18 November - Israel Last two for Nations League and promotion to A Groups. 2 points required, but 1 might do. (Northern Ireland playing on same nights but 1st and 3rd are in Belfast) We have in that 'call up' period we have (Tue) 10 November - East Fife - Away BetFred Cup (Fri) 20 November - Dunfermline - Away League U21s also have Crotia (H) on Thu12/11 and Greece (A) Tue 17/11. Irving not in squad but likely a ' reserve' call up Dunfermline is a bit dodgy having certainly 3 but maybe 4 (Irving) or 5 (Naismith if he starts and plays well v. ICT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked on a project with a guy from down south too who was Ipswich and loved Christophe. Don't think he had any intentions in moving to Scotland though and probably closer to retiring anyway.

Costanza Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I think he's a better keeper from working under Rogers. I also think he's better for us than he was at Celtic because he's not continuously being asked to play the ball short and we've now got a much more rounded keeper than when he was here the first time.

Get where you’re coming from but I’ll respectfully disagree. Whether we like it or not, my guess is getting back into contention for the international squad will be important to him (in a similar way to Naismith). It’s healthy and understandable for that to be a core aim for a professional. I’d be proud and pleased to see him in a Scotland jersey again (as a hearts player) we all know he’d be an asset to the squad. Obviously I’d be most pleased to see him lift the Scottish cup for us of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18Jambo_dave74 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Absolutely love having him back at the club. Just feels right. Can see how much he loves being back home as well.

martoon Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Presumably he'll just miss East Fife away on the 10th? As long as he's back for the 20th, healthy and uninjured, then fine. Doubt he'll play, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Scotland manage to get to the Euros I can see his performances for us getting even better.
