mitch41 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Outstanding performance from big Craig today. Neilson as usual got his tactics all wrong in the second half and if you think back Stendal would of still been our manager if he’d of had a keeper of Craig’s class. Craig Gordon might just keep Neilson in a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts00 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 A class act but only the save from the free kick stood out. The rest I would put in the routine bucket and expect my keeper to save. Mind you our keepers before Craig probably wouldn’t have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest I would put in the routine bucket and expect my keeper to save. Mind you our keepers before Craig probably wouldn’t have. The save from the free kick was good but the actions of the United players puzzled me. The two who ran over the ball then went to join the wall. I thought there was a new-ish law whereby attacking players had to maintain a 1 metre distance from the wall. Could it possibly be that I'm havering? Edit: Can answer my own question... from https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-13---free-kicks "Where three or more defending team players form a ‘wall’, all attacking team players must remain at least 1 m (1 yd) from the ‘wall’ until the ball is in play." "Offences and sanctions If, when a free kick is taken, an attacking team player is less than 1 m (1 yd) from a ‘wall’ formed by three or more defending team players, an indirect free kick is awarded." So, since we had 3 in the wall, he could've let the ball go in then nonchalantly strolled out to take the resultant indirect free kick. Though that would be putting an awful lot of faith in today's referee to get it right! Edited August 28, 2021 by Boof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Meldrew Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Makes a big difference to the whole team to know they've got a keeper they can trust behind them. It's been far too long since that's been the case for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally thought the powerful shot he saved low to his right from open play (e: 2nd half) was his best of the day. Had to be strong first half too, when blasted hard and hiogh to his near post. All in all utterly solid, think just the one misplaced pass out. He's made such a difference to the confidence of the team, along with Souttar.

PhoenixHearts Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 A bit off topic but does anyone know the rules and procedures surrounding the national team's trips to Denmark and Austria in the next week? Will Gordon/the national team need to isolate when they get back? I don't know why I do this to myself but i've given myself the fear thinking about somebody in the squad testing positive after the Austria game and the rest of them having to quarantine and we end up without CG for the Derby 🤮 Ignore me, just the anxiety talking. But I am just generally curious as to the travel rules for these international fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid can’t be helped, Gordon or any other player could just as easily get it from friends and family any day of the week, as could any Hibs player. Re quarantine, both countries will be on the green list when Scotland travel which means no default quarantine required. If for any reason your nightmare came true my shout would be to inject Stewart with covid and get Macca in on emergency loan from Raith for the derby 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
