It sounds derogatory, but it's actually a shame that no-one has ever taught him how to run properly. His pace used to be a terrific asset but the fact he wastes so much energy flapping his arms about hasn't brought out the best in his natural pace. |

James Forrest has a bad attitude. The only person he has to blame is himself when he finds himself playing at Rotherham. |

We've been having the same arguments about Forrest for a very very long time - nothing has changed, including his form Have some ambition - he's been guff for years - why on gods green earth would we keep him? Just in case? We've been holding on just in case for four seasons - Enough of that pish - punt and wish him all the best but we can sign or develop someone far far far better Honestly, how he keeps getting defended is baffling - hasn't put a foot right in years |

Fact is, he had a promising start to his career and for whatever has gone downhill since then. He has far too rarely performed at the level that is required to be at the club. He just doesn't contribute enough. End of. I don't think its disgrace to say that it's best we get shot of him and find someone more effective. Unless of course he gives himself a kick up the arse and starts to perform. If so great, but I doubt he has it in him. |

What's the deal anyway? Has he been offered a contract, or was he offered at one point and it was withdrawn? |

I reckon Brendan is only playing him to put him in the shop window for the likes of Leyton Orient or Mansfield. £85,000. Easy money. Tony Watt with bells on. |

He was offered a new contract 4 times. Rejected the first 3, but neither he nor his agent made any reply to the 4th offer and it was subsequently withdrawn. That was towards the end of Lennys tenure. No offer has been made since. Edited by Patrick_Bateman, 24 Jul 2016, 09:55 PM.

Obviously that's hyperbole and flat out stupid, but why do you rate Forrest so highly to the point of sensitivity anytime someone critiques Forrest, no matter how valid? Since October 2013 he's scored a grand total of 8 goals for Celtic. 8. |

A bad run under a bad manager Funny how people's perspective on stuff can change. Seems everything is Ronnys fault, including Forrest not giving a eff. Ronny was the one who actually helped sort his injuries out, actually made a big deal about getting him fit when he joined. It was widely commented on on here when Forrest came back that he finally looked fit. But he reverted to type and his lack of effort and general shampooebag tendencies once again took centre stage. I always wanted him to make it with us but it's been evident for some time that he's not interest. GMS has done more since he's signed than him, you can't actually argue with that. |

I don't mind criticism of anyone. Some of the stuff on here though goes way beyond that. A lot from people who don't have a clue. Start with anyone who thinks Mackay-Steven is better. |

What exactly is it that's over the top? Most of the posts on here are spot on. Hasn't lived up to his potential? Check Has 1 good game in 10? Check Injury prone? Check More concerned about his hair than his performances? Check Chucked it anyway? Check You continue banging his drum but when you say he's better than GMS that's based on nothing more than your opinion. There are stats staring you right in the face which say GMS has contributed far more to Celtic. 8 goals in nearly 3 years for a "creative" player is beyond embarrassing.

And yet GMS has been better since he arrived at Celtic. I don't think he is better personally but if thinking he is means you "don't have a clue" what does that say about people who rate Forrest?

Ah let's throw another name in to deflect from my previous post Your defence of Forrest in the face of facts is strange mate. I really rated Forrest and hoped that he'd be a great player for us. It's not turned out that way for multiple reasons though and he's not going to be. Every year is "a big year" for him and he's never kicked on. GMS has contributed more since he's been here, that's not an opinion, that's a fact. If you're looking for stuff that goes way beyond criticism, then you might want to go have a read at your own post history. Specifically stuff on GMS and McGregor |

He's chucked in the past, many times. The San Siro springs to mind. |
