I hope he likes reserve team football

Gordon is a great keeper, pity he's made of glass.

He might play when we rest all of our players the week before the final.

Not if it means a £1million payment to Hearts

Gordon is a class keeper no doubt and one of the reasons "The Mig" is playing so well IMO.

Mig is a cracking young keeper and just keeps getting better, the fact Gordon is waiting in the wings has really focused his game. The fact now is the no1 shirt is migs to lose, like Gordon a lot but he has to fight for that spot and it seems the mig isn't going to give it away anytime soon!

I hope he can raise the FA Cup - good servant of the club, loads of class (no, not glass)

You really think that when he got up the second block of his class save, he was thinking "Best get to this, Craig is on the bench."?

What a load of bollocks.

My sons a keeper.

I know how keepers train, I have got to watch a few different keepers from different eras too, and seen a very different styles.

The first save was class the second save was weeks of hard work in training and a total reflex, he didn't have time to think, he got up made himself big and got something on the ball.

Mig knows he is number one and when you train with the best it raises your game, he knows if he fucks up Gordon will be waiting to take has chance, Mig's game is improving all the time, competition for your place has a funny habit to do that.

I understand your point, that training with Gordon is helping him in training. I honestly don't believe that the thought in bold went through his mind at all though.
