Well said, it was a terrible goal to concede starting with moi desperate so called pass and Kent bought a cheap foul. Very poor defending with a play they worked on and we hadn't. The pace was on the ball and a whole goal to aim at was never going to give Barkas much chance. We are still a bit spoilt with the walls Cup winning display but we need to stick with him or it will be big money down the drain and I still think he will come goodLots of talk about replacing the, 'Long Wall" with Bain for the Milan game.... because he didn't make the 1st save from Goldson. For me he wasn't at fault, it was a wiped in ball which we should have played a easy offside too. However, given the fact that Goldson got a free header, what could our Goalie do? From the image below, you can see that Barkas has stepped to his left anticipating a cross goal header (back the way it came).View attachment 11728 However, Goldson headers it with a just a slight touch downwards to his left. In my view and in real time (it's a quick goal) Barkas is not at fault.
Barkas is turning into a scapegoat. We need to move on from Forster, he's not our player.
3 huns unmarked in the penalty boax every Celtic defender wi' there backs turned, totally undefendable defendin and no protection for the goalieLots of talk about replacing the, 'Long Wall" with Bain for the Milan game.... because he didn't make the 1st save from Goldson.

I suspect that is how Celtic goalies are trained. The Wa' stayed on his line far too often for a man of his size and so did Gordon. I like my keepers to come out and clear out everything in front of them but ours just don't do that. It is like we leave the defending to the defenders and rely on our goalie's reflexes if needed.Our defence was at fault, but he also stayed on his line
Anything inside the 6 yard line, should be the keepers
There were a lot of players at fault, he was one of them
My opinion

Totally agree BB with the movement of the ball nowadays and the pace and direction at with they are able to hit a ball means the slightest of touches can mean trouble. If Barkas had came charging out and never made it a sending off would also have been in the offering. Who would be a keeper with nowhere to hideI suspect that is how Celtic goalies are trained.

I don't think he is as good as Bain. I have seen NOTHING from him.... starting with the 2 goals against Ferencvaros. Just watched them again this morning. Nuh, not for me. Might be a back up to Bain in early cup games.My thinking is he better than bain, we might have been more advised and kept Gordon on he always played well against the huns, in fact one of his best games was when the sleeket one played mcgregor at left back, then the sleeket one dropped him after that game
He's a far better keeper than Bain. He is still settling into a new team, with an ever changing defence in front of him, a new country/language and playing for a team where he spends most of the game standing watching. It all takes getting used to.I don't think he is as good as Bain. I have seen NOTHING from him.... starting with the 2 goals against Ferencvaros. Just watched them again this morning.

Lots of excuses in there Gary. When do you think he will actually turn up?He's a far better keeper than Bain.

He needs time to settle and he needs Stevie Woods to improve him.
When Forster first came to Celtic in 2010 he wasn't that great. He improved with game time and settling into the way we play and we reaped the benefits after that first shaky season.
I think when he first arrived Forster's defence was based around Wilson, Majstorovic, Mulgrew/Loovens & Izaguirre so it is amazing he settled so quickly and kept so many clean sheets.The 'Wa' had VVD and Denayer in front of him.
Feck, he’s FINALLY found the spell checker, might actually read your posts now I can understand themLooked d biz on youtube, & is decent enuff at catching crossed high balls, but he's no where near the presence needed yet & this is 10IAR yr.
Looks timid & no voice = no control of defence.
Concerns confirmd wen reading dis last week.
“He’s still a bit of development to do, there’s no doubt, I was talking to Stevie Woods about him the other day, he says he just has to develop physically actually a little bit, and from a fitness perspective too” Packy Bonner.
