Better player than most give him credit for. Not his best performance but it's hard to do anything when he doesn't receive the ball.
He's absolute effing shampooe. A waste of space wage thief.

He's rubbish. He can be relied on for a handful of decent games a season other than that he is bang average.
He's clearly not. There are many things to have a go at in this Celtic team, James Forrest isn't one of them.

He's an above average SPL player but he doesn't show it often enough.

I get frustrated with players that are poor footballers that give their all on the park but I'm prepared to cut them a bit of slack.

Players like Forrest, Johansen, Blackett and Mulgrew are absolute shampooebags that saunter about the park as if they are gods gift. Forrest's shampooebag behaviour the other night was inexcusable.

Exactly mate. 100% effort is the least you expect from someone in a Celtic shirt. To see a wee guy, who's spent most of his career injured, strolling around and not giving a eff in a big game like that is shocking.

We don't have anyone in the team to drive players on, to call them out for a lack of effort. We need a Lennon type on the pitch.

Unfortunately, can only see his career going backwards.
His career has been going backwards for a long time. Has ability but no consistency. Seldom makes any impact but that could be said about any number of the current lot.

Forrest has been playing well much of this season (I'm not claiming form of his life btw) and has had a decent run without injury. One of our better players when on form.

He cuts sinside continuously, he will not commit in tackles and is far too easily pushed off the ball, at which point the hands go up in the air and he looks around for someone to agree with him while play continues.

The fact there are others just as bad in no way excuses him.

The least you expect from any player, but especially someome who has come through the youth academy, is some heart and desire. He should be leading by example.

Folk will still be talking about his potential when he's 30.
If he had anything approaching heart and a football brain, he'd be the sort of player we would struggle to hold on to.
As it is, there are many, many better wingers than him out there. We have seen some of them playing against us in Europe this season.

I have believed for a while that Forrest is s player that some people will always support down to just how much NL loved and raved about him and his early potential

'Young' James hasn't done nearly enough to deserve a new contract in my opinion - a few flashes of half decent play isn't good enough - and as others have said, he's not alone in that - but where was the heart and passion we saw from KT - and anyone who says its 'coz he never got the ball' he could have moved to where the ball was more often! Got involved, defended and showed some passion - he just doesn't do that!

He gets a very very easy ride from far far too many people

It's disappointing but I feel we should let him go

Genuinely didn't realise he was on the pitch on Thursday until he shat it out of a tackle after a run into the box.

Can't agree.

I think he's been doing the bare minimum we should expect.

Disappointing performance but a complete overreaction, as is often the case when it comes to Forrest.

He is way down the list of culpable individuals and calling him inferior to Paddy McCourt, a cult hero who truly kicked the arse out of the words 'fringe player', is laughable.
Forrest sums up everything that is wrong with this Celtic team - heartless, spineless, not interested in mucking in when things get tough and thinks hes better than he is. If there was 1 first team player id happily drive tothe airport for a transfer somewhere its him.

Yes, but he is consistent in this regard.

Has looked brilliant in flashes this season.........but then he has been like that every season.

Shows flashes of brilliance, but gets marked absent when the shampooe hits the fan.

Agree in patches, but still posted missing for too much of the game.
