Seen it so many times, I'm watching it for the other player's reactions.

Acquah has already started celebrating

Beni doing a with the ball still in play

Halkett with his head in his hands, and Aldo, Altena, and Braga watching it back in disbelief on the monitor.

That save was like watching an episode of The Flash. Like a human that sees things slower than other humans.

I thought Gordon was ready for coaching. But dunno, think that save alone warrants a one-year extension to his playing contract immediately. He's too good. Too experienced. Too good a character in the squad. And, he's one of our own. 

Players joining must think - wow, this club has a guy like that as a 2nd choice keeper?

We used to have Craig Nelson as a first pick.

I’m sure they’ve probably seen him do stuff in training, maybe the odd YouTube clip. But that will be the first time they’ve properly seen him in the flesh when it matters.

I still can’t believe it so can understand how they feel watching it there.

I’m sure it was this one.

His kicking

Has his multiple broken legs reduced his power to get it past the half way line without backspin?

His kicking had always been like that.

A capable keeper but if we’re going long for periods of the game it has to be schwollow.

I did notice that he was running like Bamby after being shagged by a bull.

Nope it’s deteriorated

I don’t think he’s got knees. The straightest leg I’ve ever seen when kicking a ball

I can’t mind Gordon ever really clearing the halfway line, esp on the tynie pitch. It was always a running joke at how bad he was at it.

Maybe he’s got worse, probs has at his age but it’s just something I’ve always thought has been in his game

Its got worse.

Happy for Gordon to keep the jersey until he loses it, but Schwolow was very tidy with the ball at his feet. A bouncing ball coming across him and I know he's dealing with it; never felt like that with Gordon or Zander.

It was only a few weeks ago folk were moaning about Swally being in goals. 
You boys need to make your minds up.

I don’t think anyone has seriously been criticising Schwollow.

He’s been the best keeper in the league by a mile so far.

Take it we are all agreed it’s the Gerry now aye?

Don't know that Der Goalie has a save like the Dundee one in his locker but he's a much better all rounder, at this stage.

Think you’re right he’s maybe a better all rounder but always feel he’s got a fuck up in him. Probably a bit of sentimentality but I’m more confident with Gordon in goal

I'm still a bit peeved about Schollow's howler v. Killie, tbh. Those two dropped points could be crucial.

Gordon's got errors in him too, of course, but saves like the one v. Dundee are the difference between one point and three. Craig's got the strongest mentality from any Hearts player I've ever seen, has won the league before, and he's got a World Cup place to win.

I don't think there's a wrong choice tbh.
