Are you serious you actually saw four qarabag players round GMS the whole game.They were trying desperately to score but you saw four players around GMS. And what would be the result of a tactic like that. Well it would leave about three celtic players wide open eh! Wouldn't that be nice for us. I have given credit to GMS for his effort. What I am saying is that Forrest should get credit for his run. Instead his detractors are putting a negative spin on it. |

I think you will find that someone else said that Forrest did more on the time that he was on than GMS did in the whole game. Is it really that difficult to give Forrest credit. I will not bother responding to the rest of your post. |

I agree he bottled out of shooting when it clearly looked the better option. I'm not a fan of Forrest but now that the manager has made his feelings known on where the player is fitness wise, I'm prepared to wait a while longer hoping he will get to 100% again. Whether that ever happens only time will tell and another injury of the type he's never been fully clear of for years now would probably be the end of the line. |

We all agree Forrest has been poor for a while. A fit and confident James Forrest though is a great player for us. Edited by He Cometh, 8 Aug 2015, 06:04 PM.

Well, aye, a bit of exaggeration, but Forrest ran into space that wasn't there in the first half. The two performances aren't really comparable. GMS looked like he was about to cry when he came off, he was jaked. I thought Forrest did well when he came on, I don't have much of an opinion on his poor pass because if he'd shot and missed, people would be complaining he didn't pass.

That knackered they were able to keep us camped in our half for the 2nd period. |

What does it matter if he ran into space that as you say was not there in the first place. Why the rush to put a negative spin on it. Negative from the usual suspects. He should be given credit for it. You know good players find space.

Ok great, but I think the initial point was that someone was comparing what GMS did on the field with what Forrest did on the field and I was saying they were too different to be comparable. I don't care anymore. |

I, too, believe he will be a very important player in both legs against Malmo. He will be on the bench but I am certain he will be used. Forrest obviously has pace but he is also a very direct player. He offers a different dynamic to the team. As an aside, he was our best attacking player in the semi-final against Inverness in the first half and I thought Ronny got it wrong taking him off when Craig Gordon was sent off. Kris Commons was having a poor game that day and should have been taken off instead. |

I think he's played pretty well since he came back but it would be plain stupid if he acted in the same way that has seen him carted off 5 games into every recovery. I don't think we'll see him at full pelt until he's completed whatever ongoing rehab the medical team have down for him to stop the injury recurrences. He's still got the explosive pace, as we saw the other night, but I think he might be rationing its use. Still, terrible decision not to shoot. Looked like it was a player short on confidence, but as I say I think he's been doing alright. Maybe he genuinely did think it was the right decision. Footballers often make mistakes regarding when to pass or shoot. We saw Stokes get pelters for not passing to Balde (I think) last year or the year before, with people on here saying the decision would surely mean he wouldn't ever play for Celtic again. We saw Balde get slated for not passing and electing to shoot, with people going so far as to say that he'd made the wrong decision even though he scored. Commons goes for the target more than most and is accused of only playing for himself, not the team. Forrest should have shot, but it doesn't necessarily mean he shat it, he could have simply got it wrong. Forrest isn't usually shy about having a shot at goal. With the amount of injuries he's had inevitably he's not turned into the player we thought he might have been. It doesn't mean that won't happen though, if he can get his body working to near 100% for a lengthy period. |

James is a fantastic player, I feel for him as injuries are curtailing his career, on his day he's unplayable. I hope he overcomes these all too frequent setbacks but I'm not sure he can which is a sin. |

This is a big season for him. He'll be like a new signing if we can get him fit & playing consistently. |

Not in the squad at all today. Is he injured (again?) or is he now behind Rogic and Henderson in the pecking order? |

Given that's he's not one of our top 5 players, 'fantastic' is a big stretch. |
