hey guys, for a bit of debate/banter. POTY? Will it be broony CG or SJ. let's for 1 minute assume its Gordon and he defo in with a shout. Is it a great thing that he is POTY? Defo for him and what he been thro. But what does it say about Celtic? In living memory I can't remember a celtic goalie winning it. Does it mean our defence is bad? Is it just great credit to CG? or are we giving away too many chances to opposition who are obviously inferior? Be great to know your opinions.

Rayman Let us assume for one moment it Is Johansen . A young attacking midfielder bought in January 2014 for a mere pittance of £2m . What a steal, what wonderful scouting . Picking up a couple like Johansen'every season and Celtic could become unplayable especially domestically.
Rayman there can be a positive narrative for anyone who becomes player of year .
I doubt if it will be Craig Gordan, he has saved us well on occasions, particularly when the team was struggling to find his feet . However his blunders in the first match of the last 16 will be hard to forget. Over the last couple of months he has been protected by and large by a rock solid defence, and hasn't done any more than could be expected of him .
If C G wins POTY it will say that sentimentality is a live and well amongst the people who voted for him .

Think Chris makes a good point about the sentimentality of Gordons praise though.

Can't see past Brown myself.

How are you judging it, on the set amount of games in the votihg period or on a few games when certain players were either excepionally good or bad, I think if you take it on the whole season so far, its between gordon, brown and johannsen, and if you went through it game by game, giving points for performances, gordon would be a runaway winner, nothing to do with sentimentality., sure he made blunders in the milan game, but you just need to see what wolfsburg did to the milan defence, the rest of the celtic team were just as much to blame for that defeat.

Jamiebhoy Of course you remember that during the period of Brown's absence due to injury Celtic 's season was in disarray. Luckily since he returned we have hardly looked back .
There are so many possible POTY that I think it is a bit premature to be too sure of our selection just yet .

Aindoh, I admire your loyalty towards Craig Gordon . However I fail to see how the rest of the Celtic team were responsible for his attempt to stop a ball going out for a goal kick, and dropping the ball at the strikers foot .
The Milan third goal was the biggest howler at Celtic Park by a home goalie in over a decade . For God's sake a nothing ball from a way out was heading somewhere near the corner flag . Gordon ran past it and decided to dive backwards and managed agin to place the ball on a plate for the striker .

Jesus, how can bring Wofburg into a discussion re Craig Gordon . Prior to the Milan game, I was quite happy with Craig, maybe he blocked balls straight out and gave defenders chances that could be avoided . I am happy enough with a keeper who doesn't make blunders. Gordan worries me now
