    He did a good job against Milan (there was no way he was saving that Ibra goal). He was sound positionally... made some great saves, one that should have been a second goal...

    But still he's a drunk...

    From trashing hotel rooms and such back in his Celtic days (wonder if he's changed)...

    From "snogging" a woman that clearly wasn't his wife...

    This guy really is dumb indeed.

    He is a great keeper and a bit of a character, like most other great goalies. As to what the tabloids say - if you buy 10% of it you are a fool.

    Perhaps you're right. He was impeccable today against Juventus. Made countless saves... giving Frey a run for his money.

    I can say without a doubt in my mind, Boruc made saves today that Frey could not have..

    He's been doing well for us so far. (I suggest watching the Milan v Fiorentina game)

    A fine keeper but he is loony. (3 yellows for time wasting in his 6 appearances)

    He most certainly is.

    My favourite Artur Boruc moment -


    The CL knockout round match against Milan. The first leg had finished 0-0 in Glasgow. We were in quite early in the San Siro for the return leg. The Milan Ultras were in early as well at the opposite end of the ground behind the goal.

    The Celtic players came out to have a look around the stadium. They're all in the centre circle. And then Artur walks out the centre circle towards the Milan end.

    He walks all the way up to the goalline. The Ultras are going mad! We're going mad for Artur!

    And this was about an hour before kick-off. Bloody brilliant. The man is a nutter but what a man, and what a keeper. ;)

    Haha! Great story! I would love to see him do something like that while at Fiorentina...especially against Juventus! :D

    We're winning our home matches again so it's tough to complain. I don't mind if he is free-spirited and all of that, I just don't want his quirkiness to cost us points. And it definitely will...

    He may sweat a bit but he has done well picking up the language.

    I had my problems with "Boruz" at the beginning because i never understood why we snatched from Celtic a "living legend" while Frey was in the best age for Goalkeepers.

    This keeper has personality and is always good for big saves.
    The press conference was so funny and made him very very symphatic:D

    This.
    I almost forgot Frey and Toldo...
