I usually like your posts Billy. But that list of keepers being better than Rocky is one of the most outrageous posts I’ve seen on hereThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Logan, Williams, Stack, Bell (surely not Cammy Bell?), Caig, Colgan… come on.

Rocky is probably hovering around 10th but not quite
Too many rookie errors man

Could also say there's not a hibs keeper in recent memory to have a highlight reel like this. The save at 1.45ish vs Dundee is ridiculously good.
I agree he wasn't perfect, but for me, his shot stopping was enough to raise him above other keepers we have had. I get not rating him as highly but thinking he was a disaster is a bit mental

You've also listed 5 or so mistakes in his time with Hibs over 5 years, Goram had as many howlers as Rocky in a shorter space of time with Hibs - you can find some of them on youtube if you try. Leighton had loads too. All goalies make howlers, and Marshall is no different either.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I like Marshall and think he's a very good keeper. All keepers make mistakes and have bad games though when a keeper does , it's always scrutinized more than a outfield player . Marshall for me has good leadership qualities and has made some good saves this season and his distribution is normally excellent . Personally I think he can play another two years for us and he's the perfect mentor to help our young keeper ' Murray Johnson ' improve to take over eventually.

Cammy Bell and Tony Caig 😂
Marciano is the best keeper we’ve had for a very long time in my opinion. At least 20 years.

Really enjoyed this debate guys even if it is for the umpteenth time
I will leave you with this thought imagine Rocky trying to manoeuvre his way around the new bye kick laws with two quick forwards in his face and inside his box
Oh my aching sides 😂
If any of my above posts have sewn the seeds of doubt and helped remove the myth that Rocky was a great goalkeeper for Hibs my work here is done 😀Last edited by BILLYHIBS; 15-03-2023 at 06:49 AM.

Logan is a legend but one great game aside (and what a game it was) he was bang average. His howler at home v Falkirk in the play off was a big part of why we had a 3rd season in the Championship.
Budgie was a character but he was (even more) erratic by the time he signed for us. They type of character we needed at the time but in his 2nd season he was making mistakes and was dropped for Chris Reid. Jim Leighton was a huge upgrade.
Not sure the rest even need qualification. Caig is only rivalled by Simon Brown for worst goalkeeper I have ever seen at Hibs. He was utterly shocking.

He was still young and was basically thrown in because the other 2 were total incompetents. I remember Simon Brown came back in after McNeil got injured and put in one of the worst performances you will ever see against Rangers and that saw AM get back in.
I place a lot of the blame at John Collins door. We needed a solid , dependable keeper to come in and steady the ship the following season. Instead he signed a youngster without a minutes first team football under his belt and we ended up rotating him and McNeil throughout the season. Andy actually done really well in the spell he played and was unfortunate to find himself back out the team again, he made a save away at Falkirk that I still can't get my head around how he actually did it.
Neither Andy McNeil or MaKalambay should have found themselves in that position and it continued a problem that existed before they got here and lasted well after they had gone.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Away at Rangers in the cup, 0-3 win. At 0-0 Bob Malcolm hit an absolute rocket of a shot on the angle from about 20 yards, it was going right in the top corner and Brown was wrong footed, he somehow shifted his weight and got a hand on it to touch it onto the bar. It was the high point of his Hibs career by a distance, a ridiculously good save.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

People complaining about rocky's distribution whilst championing Jim Leighton?
Jeezo.
Also, conrad logan - legend that he is - had one good game for hibs. The semi final.
I don't think he saved any other shots in his time with us! He lost 5 goals in 2 games to falkirk ffs!!!

Marciano is 33 and his contract at Feyenoord is up in the summer.
Marshall has 15 months left on his deal so no chance of Rocky returning.
I liked Rocky a lot but he is bound to have lost his edge due to barely playing at Feyenoord.
Marciano made more saves than Marshall but his distribution wasn't as good.
Marshall errors have cost us a few goals but importantly they have all occurred in games we were losing anyway.
Both good keepers, as was Bogdan before the concussion that finished him.
The best keeper we can afford is always the way to go.
