I think he's a good player, but the fact that the club has sold lots of crap players in other positions during his time here doesn't really tell us a great deal about his ability. The fact that the club has sold lots of good players for good fees over that same period and that Forrest hasn't been one of them probably tells us more about his career to date. He's a good player who thus far in his career has failed to sustain his performances for long enough to really make his mark. And, of course, injuries have played a massive part in that. I'm looking forward to seeing how he copes with some genuine competition. Hopefully he and GMS can bring the best out in each other. Edited by Midfield Maestro, 16 Mar 2015, 02:47 PM.

Johansen seemed to be doing a lot of the arguing on Guidetti's behalf. |

I left school in 2000, luckily for me i had a basic grasp of reading. Thanks to that particular skill i have read ronny's comments on the matter, the only 2 nominated penalty takers (commons and griffiths) were not on the pitch anymore so nobody was responsible for taking it. Forrest had as much right to take it as anyone else and possibly more due to winning it. So you carry on with getting your knickers in a twist over what you thought should have happened and the fact that the stupid little boy didnt do what you wanted the penalty was poor but its not the first i have ever seen missed and it really didnt matter as the game was done.

Surely with Commons and Griffiths off the park it would be up to Broony to designate the penalty taker? |

I agree he's no Wanyama or Forster. I don't see us ever commanding a £10 million fee for him. Though, unlike those guys, I don't think Forrest necessarily has his eyes on a move down south. He's a local kid playing for the same team he's always played for, winning trophies and earning a fortune. I'm not saying he's an all-time great, just that he's made a positive contribution over the years and remains an important squad member. |

I think Forrest was well within his rights to claim the penalty as he earned it. There should be a protocol in place if the penalty kick takers are off the field. Maybe it's Broony that selects who. Most of the time I see players fight over a penalty they usually miss, because they are not in the right frame of mind to take it after wrangling with a teammate. I won't lose any sleep in Guidetti not taking it. He is here to pad his stats and leave. Got to wonder is Scepovic really that poor he is so far down the pecking order. |

Saved me typing similar I'd rather have a Celtic player take it and miss than a loanee who's whoring himself round his previous clubs try to take it for personal glory. Guidetti ended up unsettling Forrest. Guidetti's taken 2 penalties for Celtic, same as Forrest had before yesterday. Both Guidetti's were in routs, a 6-0 league win where it was for his hat-trick and a 4-0 cup game against lower league opposition. One of Forrest's was under immense pressure in the Champions League. In the game of Rock, Paper, Guidetti, Forrest then Forrest trumps Guidetti every time for me. |

Seems to be missed that thanks to Forrest's composed, accurate first time finish for the second goal (something our forward players have been painfully lacking in many games this season) the penalty was largely immaterial. It would have been gloss on a result which was already known. He won the penalty. With Griffiths and Commons both off the pitch he was entitled to take it in that situation. I'd rather he worked on what he did with the penalty rather focus on the fact he denied others a chance to take it. Variously, he stood up to Guidetti and Johansen in actually insisting on taking it. Neither are exactly shrinking violets. For a player with apparently "no heart or fight" - copyright various - he showed enough stones to tell them both to piss off. That's fair enough by me. Missing it though, well that kinda ruined things. |

The manager is on the sidelines, takes a few seconds for someone to ask him. Time to put Brown back on them IMO. |

No. It should be worked out beforehand. This has gone on for years, Maloney v Lynch, McDonald in the game against the huns. It's amateurish. I would also have been very surprised if Griffiths was one of our designated penalty takers after his poor effort last week. |

That's another pet peeve of mine. That Yer no longer penalty kick taker as soon as you miss one. Edited by Flawless, 16 Mar 2015, 03:27 PM.

I think if you have a long history of successful spot kicks then missing one isn't a problem. We always seem to take a "whoever feels confident" attitude to penalties rather than it actually being something we plan in advance. |

Next to Brown on the park Johansen is Deila's main man - He seemed to be wanting the ball indicating Guidetti was to take it which watching it was my take given that Griffiths and Commons were no longer on the park. Whatever it was all amateurish to watch and if hasn't been sorted before they take to the pitch Deila is to blame - If they were disregarding his instructions (on the assumption they were in fact given) then the players involved need their arses kicked and you would wonder why Brown never stepped in to sort it out. If it had been 0-0 and that had happened with Forrest's subsequent joke miss and we had eventually lost the Final the amateurishness of it would be more getting questioned to say the least. |
