Na, rocky was excellent here. There's a reason hes playing at a much higher level now.

He's only played for feyenoord 12 times in nearly two full seasons tbf.

I agree with the shout that he was better for us, but Marshall has had the better career.

Also agree that without a decent number 2, Marshall is probably resting on his laurels a wee bit.

He isn't playing anywhere at the moment!

Maybe he just scrapes into my top 10 Hibs keepers of the last 30 years

If any player can slow the game down a bit then it’s the keeper, but he continued to throw kick the ball out at the quickest opportunity which just kept putting us under pressure, rangers just scooped up everything he distributed and it was like wave after wave of attack, as soon as we scored LJ should have been screaming at him to calm down and take his time but he just continued to make the same mistakes over and over again.

Yeah he had a good save but for such an experienced goalkeeper that was a shocker from him last night.

Spot on. He also should have played it long giving the team a chance to regroup avoiding the press. It seemed like he was giving it to players that were marked when others were looking for it that were unmarked, then he would punt it upfield to no one.

Trouble was that when he played it long Hoppe couldn’t do anything with it because he’s very poor at that part of forward play.When he played it short they were panicking because of the press from Rangers.I see LJ is commenting on the lack of composure. Spot on.

Walker killie goalie is one I think we should consider

Haven't seen to much of him I have to admit though I'd doubt he's as good as Marshall , thought Inverness caley Thistle's 2nd goal he was badly at fault with it too.

Rocky was absolutely brilliant for Hibs.

I was banging that drum when he was at hibs and people wanted him dropped for Chris Maxwell or whatever generic ***** was there at the time.

We should have been doing everything we could to keep him. He's probably earning much more than we could offer but he also was worth much more than some of the dross we've chucked big money at in recent years.

In addition to that he was a good guy.

Bogdan was also a good keeper.

We've really had a lot of poor goalkeepers over the years. I don't know why we struggle so badly in that position

He did get dropped for Chris Maxwell. The manager agreed with a lot of fans. Also got dropped for Bogdan and Macey. On his day he was better than all of them but he was prone to poor form and mistakes. His distribution was horrible and he always seemed to take an age to do anything with the ball. Brilliant shot stopper though.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Always felt Bogdan was better than rocky

Rocky was also here for about 5 years. There's bound to be dips in form when you have such a large sample size.

Overall, Rocky is the best shot stopper we have had in quite some time. He would regularly win you games with ridiculous saves, something our current keeper doesn't do despite being more well rounded.

Marshall has had a better career, but right now, id take rocky back in a heart beat. I think his shot stopping made up for any poor kicking etc

When was he dropped for Macey?

He also was injured when Bogdan joined. We probably don't even sign him had Rocky been fit.

Maxwell was mince. Dropping rocky for him was a mistake.

Remember Lenny tearing his hair out because Rocky kept booting the ball out of play at Tiny in the play off

Saving the ball from Christie at Hamdump when it was already in the pokey

Getting beat at his near post by Freddo at Easter Road

Getting sent off at St Johnstone

Getting beat at his near post at Easter Road again by O’Halloran

Throwing one in the net at Easter Road against the Hun by passing to a blue jersey

Guy was a brilliant instinctive keeper with fifty pence feet with always a calamity in his locker

I don’t think any hibs defence trusted him

Hasn’t kicked a ba for Feyenoord this season do not know if he is injured out on loan or has been found out

I don't remember the O'halloran one but surely you're Job not using getting beat at his near post as a mistake? That's something that's been debunked by many, many keepers. The near post myth is a load of crap tbh

Not for me. Think hes absolutely murder, sure the Killie fans are only just starting to come round to him as well and if he's barely good enough for them he's definitely not good enough for us.

O’Halloran was for St Johnstone

Christie one was from a free kick out left beat Rocky at his near post

So it is his job to set up the wall and why was he standing at the back post leaving a huge gap?

Christie could not believe his luck

The ball was in the net before Rocky could get across

Just you keep thinking he was one of the greats

Not a patch on Goram Simpson Roughie and Leighton

Probably wouldn’t class him as a great. But I don’t think there have been ten better than him has mentioned further up the thread. And he’s be very close to the top of any list over that period of time.

He's easily the best in my lifetime, and in fairness I don't specifically remember the goals you've mentioned, just describing a mistake as "beat as his near post" is a bit off considering there's a lot of near post shots that aren't the keepers fault. Rocky made mistakes, but as I've said, his sample size is a lot larger than most, so he would have some in there.

As a pure shot stopper, a lot of the older heads I know have said he's right up there with the best they've seen at the club.

Check YouTube they are there for you to see

Not making anything up

I have already said he was a brilliant instinctive shot stopper

I get it I am older than you so your sample size is your lifetime and smaller than mine

Maybe we should leave it at that

Unfair to include the brilliance of Leighton Goram and Rough

Leighton, I’ll give you. Andersson was a good goalie. Budgie was Budgie.

Rocky a better keeper for us than the remainder, especially Caig! Goram not in last 30 years either.

I just think you're doing rocky a massive disservice Williams and stack better than him? Cmon.

Also, Logan was shakey in quite a few games besides the SC ones for us. He isn't in the same league as Rocky. Bigger legend for what he done for the club, but as a keeper, he's miles off rocky

I wasn't as convinced by Rocky as some. He was certainly a good goalkeeper but he was far from perfect, and lost his place a few times.

Whilst he’s not blameless mcgeough actually runs out the wall that Rocky has put together and that’s exactly where the ball goes. If the wall does it’s job then there’s not even a save to be made.
