4marsbars Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 And Craig Levein is a puppet of the Scottish media, well known for his pro-Old Firm bias and with no obvious knowledge of, or connection to, his namesake. I don't think that Gordon need worry too much about this endorsement, even though the boy Gregsy done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Goram is a complete erse but McGregor has been immense since he's been given the gloves and has saved us from some heavy doings. Only a fool would deny it. The ball is at McGregor's feet and it's up to him but Gordon cannot expect to be given his place back considering AM's performances. We're in an enviable position when it comes to keepers. They're both top drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 And so it begins. Again. Yes, McGregor probably deserves to keep the jersey for now after those performances but a good few years of top notch performances from Gordon should (if life was fair) keep the pressure on him to keep up the same standards. If he doesn't, Gordon should be right back in there and given the same chance. We have one tremendous keeper and one pretty good keeper so we're in good shape between the sticks but it takes more than one swallow to make a summer - McGregor needs to maintain that sort of level if he wants to put doubt in Levein's mind about who is officially the better keeper. I'm impressed by his performance but it takes more than one week to make the no1 jersey your own. Or at least, it should.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Could have and should have saved the first, poor penalty. Should have come out for the third, a cross into the 6 yard box that was in the air for an age, where was he stuck to his line. He did make some decent saves but nothing "spectacular", saves id expect any decent keeper to make. Doesn?t fill me with confidence especially with crosses, i.e. third goal, the sooner CG is back between the sticks the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Good to see a ex-Rangers goalkeeping legend backing the current Rangers player. To me what McGregor did yesterday is a normal game for Craig Gordon. Its good to have two really good goalkeepers but how any one thinks McGregor is equal or better then Gordon, I dont really know. Part of the problem is that Craig Gordon hasn't played for 4 or 5 months so people forget his ability. His performances when he is not injured are almost a different level from McGregor, its hard to describe but Craig Gordon's shot stopping and agility is almost other-worldly in a way (that may sound over-the-top but its the only way I can describe it.) Against Man City last year he kept everything out of his goal, the only way he was beaten was by Adam Johnson producing a strike that was so amazing I doubt even Buffon or Casillas could save it. The sad thing is, that if Craig Gordon had come through Rangers and McGregor had come through Hearts, this debate would not happen in the media.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The media can slaver all they want about this but when it comes down to it, Levein more than anyone knows the score with regards to how good Craig Gordon is.

ToadKiller Dog Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Its easy for a keeper to look good when in a team that is constantly under attack as in Prague and a lesser extent last night , the real test of a keeper in in a more balanced game and how the concentration holds up in that . MacGregor has been very good last two games made the saves a keeper of his level should make . The manager should pick the form keeper at the time 11 months time if you exclude the home nations thing ,If he recover's from his injuries fully that to me would be Gordon by a mile .

Jambo66 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think this is correct... I much prefer the way you put it too, no attempt at trolling, just a reasonable assesment of the current situation. I disagree. Having watched both games, I think that McGregor made one excellent save against the Czech Republic from the downward header. His tip over the crossbar was standard showboating from him. Craig Gordon would have caught that. The other "save" in the first half was more a case of the ball hitting him. Other than that, he had virtually nothing to do. Against Spain, I agree with Tiger's comments. McGregor is a very good keeper and, to that extent, we are fortunate to have him as backup to the 3rd world class keeper Scotland has had in my lifetime. Craig Levein has made several mistakes so far as manager, but he would be a fool not to put Craig back in the number 1 shirt as soon as he is fully fit.

jamboinglasgow Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The choice: A decent goalkeeper, as often on the front page of the papers for all the wrong reasons as he is on the back pages, got banned from the Scottish team after a late night drinking session then acted like a child the follow match, suspended for an attempt to kick a player (something he often does), pretended he got hit by a fellow proffesional, plays for Rangers. or The most expensive goalkeeper in British football, has had top reviews in the EPL against top strikers, has always preformed at his best for Scotland, has had positive reviews from other top goalies (including Buffon who thought he could go on to become one of the best goalkeepers in the world,) model proffesional, quiet life outside of the club, played for Hearts.

This agenda to get McGregor in as number 1 is actually cringeworthy. "Gregsy" - I remember a powderpuff effort which McGregor had to kick away was deemed as a wonderful save and great reactions. I'd have been disappointed if I had let it in myself. McGregor has done well and it is hard to drop him, Craig is a better goalkeeper (and person) and will hopefully get back in when he is fully fit.

bighusref Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 sad but true In keeping with the standard of the rest of your posts IMO. Allan McGregor is not the best Scotland has; Craig Gordon is. Andy Goram was a fantastic goalkeeper and probably the best goalkeeper I ever saw at Tynecastle and wasn't far off the best goalkeeper I have ever seen in the flesh, BUT, he is a disgusting human being who should not be listened to on any subject. A drunk racist who is quite happy to buddy up with murderers because they kick with the same foot as him. Am I correct in saying he beat up his bird as well?

DETTY29 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 2 good games after sticking his fingers up to the nation against a guy who had 35 consecutive good/outstanding performances. It's up to CG to get fit, but he got 6 monts before an international game to do that. Looks like the people who believe that good shot stopping is the only attribute required of a keeper have got their knickers in a twist again.
