He continuously cuts inside when playing on the right too and usually into lots of opposition players.The suggestion that playing on the left is the problem is nonsense. People have been on here making the same excuses for him for the last 2 -3 years and if he signs that new contract I wouldn't be surprised to see the same excuses being made on here in 4 years. Settling for his level of inconsistency sadly tells us where we are as a club. I don't know who he thinks is going to want him with his injury record and inconsistency, but let him get on with.

He's not good enough.
Most natural right footed players tend to cut inside when played on the left wing.
The trouble is teams in Scotland pack their defenses when playing us and Forrest eventually runs into trouble.
He is a right sided player and when he has played well for us most of the time it has been on the right.
I fault Celtic for failing to develop Forrest. This is a guy who had all kinds of potential. Played for Scotland as a youth, under 21s and Scotland in the world cup qualifier
this year under Strachan and played well.
So where has it all gone wrong for him ? look no further than the club and Ronnie that great developer of talent. My arse.
Nobody to blame but yourself unfortunately James.

Aye, it's Deila's fault that Forrest has been shampooe for the majority of his time in our first team.
And that is not what I said. If that's what you read into my post then I now understand why you don't know a fitba
player from a hole in the wa'

Every week we go through this pish. He's effing rotten and has been for the majority of his time here. He's not a talent, he's not a project, he's one of the most experienced players at the club yet he's done nothing for years.

A charlatan. Get tae.

I find myself logging on to KDS less and less. The days of enjoying reading really good discussions and debate are quite infrequent
now. It now seems a very negative discussion board and a thread of over 100 pages trashing one of our players confirms that.
Your immature comments to my response to someone else is assisting in the downward spiral.

About 5 years ago, someone at the club should have taught him how to run properly. He must watch himself on TV and cringe at the state of himself. He should have been forced to study the way Ronaldo runs (and I know they have a very different physique) to understand the advantages of streamlining your body whereas he's continued to flap along on either wing to the point he's not that fast anymore.

Even played on the right side he doesn't go past the full-back on the outside. Whether that is confidence or a realisation that he's not as quick anymore I'm not sure.

I think everyone hoped his technical ability would improve to match his raw pace as he progressed, but unfortunately it's the opposite that's happened. It's unfortunate the way it's panned out, but he now offers us absolutely nothing.

The negativity and "thrashing" our players that your guilty off too? You're part of the problem.

A quick glance through your posting history and you only do really sign on here to stick up for wee Jamsie. Maybe if 9/10 of your posts wasn't just to stick up for James your post wouldn't have been met with any ridicule.

What is it about Forrest re his future at Celtic that you can be positive about?

Your own post is negative about the club and the manager.

You are blaming everyone but Forrest yet, when called out on this, you call folk immature or claim they misunderstood your point.

You might want to read your own posts back too.

Fighting the urge to ask why so Krankie Wee Jimmy :ph43r: Iknow, very immature on my part so sorry.

Joking aside, i agree with you, though my solution has been to log in and spend most of my time in the non-football sections, mainly general and entertainment. I don't know if the negativity stems from unrealistic expectations placed upon our team, being the club with the highest turnover and wage bill fans expect, nay demand we win every match and every compitition, or if the negativity is a reflection of larger problems stemming from the social and economic woes facing us all since 2008. Either way it makes discussions about Celtic less positive and way more negative and unpleasant.

I love Celtic and i envy the guys who get to play for or manage the team. I don't think the players and manager should be above all criticism but i don't feel that the second by second judgements are helpful. Judge a manger at the end of the season and the players at the end of their contracts. :thumbsup:

I'm now off to do something more pleasant than reading KDS

Knocking the ball by someone and running isn't technical ability :ffs:

He has no technical ability and was all pace. He doesn't have a trick in him or a decent skill level. A one trick pony who has lost his one trick.

Which is why the "he would be great in a counter attacking side" argument holds no weight either.

He has no technical ability? Really? Plays for Celtic and Scotland and has no technical ability? My post wasn't about his technical ability either it was about his shampoo decision making.. So keep your :ffs: and try making a sensible point next time...

The only thing Ronny is Da Man got right is his insinuation that Forrest is pish...he really is a waste of a jersey in 9 out of 10 games
