Stack signs 1 yr extension

[WhileTheChief..]

On official site. her's hoping he's fit at last.

[silverhibee]

Looks like he has signed a new contract with Hibs. :thumbsup:

[marinello59]

That is good news. :thumbsup:

[Beefster]

This can't have happened. We were assured that he was away.

He obviously skipped out of the meeting with Rodders, rather than stomped, and then said his goodbyes to the players because he was leaving East Mains for the day.

[Hibeesb0unc3]

great news!!! he has looked good last season until he got injured. Lets hope he can stay fit this season:not worth

[Saorsa]

Looks like he has signed a new contract with Hibs. :thumbsup:Good news IMO :thumbsup: :flag:

[Broken Gnome]

No he didn't. He stormed out in a huff and said his goodbyes..... didn't he??

Right deal for both parties I would guess.

[scoopyboy]

On official site. her's hoping he's fit at last.

One year is fine, if he isn't available for virtually every game it will be his last.

Will he start as first pick or will CC be looking to bring another goalie in?

[Craig_in_Prague]

Excellent :flag:

[matty_f]

Brilliant!! A Regulator first with the news again!!

[silverhibee]

Good news IMO :thumbsup: :flag:


Agree. Stack as No1 if fit and Brown for back-up, is there any need for Divis anymore, our 3rd choice should be a youth goalie.

[Aldo]

Would agree scoopy (bit in bold)

For me has to start as No 1 as he is the best Keeper at ER IMHO.

[HibbyAndy]

Great news :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Saorsa]

Agree. Stack as No1 if fit and Brown for back-up, is there any need for Divis anymore, our 3rd choice should be a youth goalie.:agree: I was always more confident with him in goals, the defence always looked like they were too.

Hope he stays fit :agree:

[Hibs90]

I'd rather Brown in goals than Stack tbh but happy enough with this.

[Elephant Stone]

Very pleased :aok:

[scoopyboy]

Agree. Stack as No1 if fit and Brown for back-up, is there any need for Divis anymore, our 3rd choice should be a youth goalie.

The players especially the defence are happy and are confident with Stack.

Another plus for me is that is one less player we need to sign and if CC has a pot of cash then it might mean he can push the boat out that wee bit further to land quality players.

[WhileTheChief..]

Agree. Stack as No1 if fit and Brown for back-up, is there any need for Divis anymore, our 3rd choice should be a youth goalie.

Any idea when Divis' contract is up? I'd be wary of letting him go if he's any good.

Doesn't sound like Stack is fit yet so I'd want decent cover for Brown. Our defence is young enough without having a rookie goalie.

[Dinkydoo]

Good stuff. :thumbsup:

When he's fit I rate him quite highly and don't think we could afford to splash out on a better keeper tbh; especially if we have other positions to improve over the summer.

[Kaiser1962]

This can't have happened. We were assured that he was away.

He obviously skipped out of the meeting with Rodders, rather than stomped, and then said his goodbyes to the players because he was leaving East Mains for the day.


I am truly mystified....:dunno:

[hibs0666]

Brilliant!! A Regulator first with the news again!!

Yup - clearly knows his/her stuff

[Kaiser1962]

Brilliant!! A Regulator first with the news again!!

Absolutely. Great to have someone "ITK" on the forum. :greengrin

[ScottB]

Good stuff if he can be fit and healthy more often than not!

Is it a pay as you play deal or just a straight one year deal?

[Dinkydoo]

Yup - clearly knows his/her stuff


Absolutely. Great to have someone "ITK" on the forum. :greengrin

I knew he was right. :wink:

[Liam89]

Great news! :thumbsup:

[Jones28]

Excellent, best hibs goalie when fully fit. Anyone think Stacky would stay at Hibs in a coaching role when he retires?

[Hank Schrader]

Fair chuffed at this news :top marks

[Dinkydoo]

Excellent, best hibs goalie when fully fit. Anyone think Stacky would stay at Hibs in a coaching role when he retires?

Not sure but he certainly talked a good game during the Hibs Vs Bohemians match on Hibs TV.

Came across as very knowledgeable of the game; would be a definite improvment on what we've had in that role in the past.

[MyJo]

bet he feels like a tit after saying goodbye to everyone a couple of weeks ago. :rolleyes:

either way glad he's on board. think this signals the end of divis given that our squad is only meant to be 24 players having 3 goalies might be a bit much

[Dirkster23]

Great news (provided we can keep him fit), you can see the defence are a lot more confident when he's in goals :aok:

[BEEJ]

Good news. Glad he's staying on. Hope he can keep injury free now.



Any idea when Divis' contract is up? I'd be wary of letting him go if he's any good.
We have him on loan until January 2012.

[bandylegs_jLeighton]

Assuming his injury problems are behind him it's a good start to building a more solid defensive unit for next season.

Ability wise he is as good as we could probably afford, but the fact he's a talker and strong character make a big difference.

Having Stack's and Sproule's voices amongst the match squads I feel is a good thing to have alongside our younger players.

Now if we could only supplement the squad with few top quality experienced players we might get somewhere.

[Kojock]

I heard that the only reason he signed for us is because no one else would touch him due to his ongoing injury problems. He hopes he can have an injury free season and a bigger club will come in for him. :wink:

[scoopyboy]

Sounds fair enough to me.

[SteveHFC]

:thumbsup:

[KiddA]

Great news :thumbsup:

I just hope he can stay fit, as when he is fit he is quality :agree:

[Lofarl]

Great news. Stack's a brave keeper and a talented one at that. He never pulls out of a 50/50 unlike some other players we have had. His bravery in this aspect has cost him injuries for sure. But I'd rather have a keeper like Stack charging out to close down a ball than Smith dithering on his line.

[PeterboroHibee]

I rate him as a keeper and its good hes been offered an extension, but the only thing that worries me is his injury problems; if hes over them, then great, but one of the main problems this season was the lack of consistancy with the keepers and the utter crap we had as back up.

Now that Stack is signed on think one of the other keepers has to go, with CC wanting a smaller squad theres no reason for 3 first team keepers (especially when one of them is on loan).

[At The Edge]

very happy with this news, we seemed a different team at the back when he was in between the sticks, controlled the players in front of him well.

If he can stay fit we'll solve some of our problems at the back.

:cgwa

[blackpoolhibs]

He was given a new 1 year contract, after CC failed to get his main target.

Apparently he was after a 2nd choice keeper from a south wales club.

He declined though stating the money offered was only somewhere between £1300 to £1800 a week. :wink:

Quite

[Bob Box Fish]

Our best keeper, good news.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Good news. Stack is a good keeper and a good character to have around. Especially with CC saying the dressing room is very quiet.

[DH1875]

Agree. Stack as No1 if fit and Brown for back-up, is there any need for Divis anymore, our 3rd choice should be a youth goalie.


Was there ever a need for Divis though? To this day I still can't see the sence in it.
Great news on Stack, lets just hope he can stay fit :aok:.

[IWasThere2016]

Brilliant! :thumbsup:

[frazeHFC]

Fantastic. :thumbsup: Hopefully over the pre-season they can get him to full fitness. :flag:

[Jonnyboy]

It was a close thing as Stacky fumbled the fountain pen Rodders gave him and it landed a mere inch from his foot, almost impaling him and ensuring that his custom made treatment table remained a sensible purchase :greengrin

Am glad he's staying but feel let down by the poster that insisted he was leaving :wink:

[Hibstrooper]

No coincidence our unbeaten run coincided with Stack in goals, cracking news!
:thumbsup:

[Baldy Foghorn]

Great news (provided we can keep him fit), you can see the defence are a lot more confident when he's in goals :aok:

:agree::agree:

[Hibbyradge]

What I said happened happened.And I believe I did mention that he might come crawling back or something along those lines:agree:Who else would want him anyway? He certainly couldn't have had any half decent offers or he wouldn't still be here.

:tee hee: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :tee hee:

:crazy:

[jdships]

No he didn't. He stormed out in a huff and said his goodbyes..... didn't he??

Right deal for both parties I would guess.


My thoughts too
Somebody must have been in the wrong GREGGS !! :greengrin:wink:

[millarco]

Started 7 games last season and we won 6 (Maribor away the only loss). Hopefully he can stay fit and we can get a full season out of him. Not the best at crosses but a good shot-stopper and organises the defence well-if you were a defender you'd be more likely to react to a blasting from Stack than Brown.

[weonlywon6-2]

That is good news. :thumbsup:

it most certainly is.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[seanraff07]

Brilliant news, best keeper when fit, lets hope he's back fully fit soon :thumbsup:

[Ritchie]

Fantastic news!!! :thumbsup:

[R'Albin]

Delighted:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[alfieboi75]

Great news!!! I do hope once the season starts he shall gain confidence for the team and it clicks into place.....it has to happen as the amount of effort from Hibs fans attending games, we deserve good times!!!

CC.....show your ambitions and create a successful team for us Hibees!!!:thumbsup:

[MrSmith]

I am definitely happier with this news!

[iwasthere1972]

Great news :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great news otherwise I would be down to only 8 mates on facebook. :greengrin

[Winston Ingram]

Surprised there's no a thread on this. I'm pished and posting this on my phone so if ye want confirmation it's on the fishy site.

I'm quite pleased:-)

Ok. I'm a blind bawbag

[oldbutdim]

Bugger.

So close to a scoop.
:wink:

[zlatan]

In fairness to A Regulator, was he not one of the first to say Sproule had been at East Mains to meet CC?

[stokesmessiah]

In re to Stack, does anyone know whether that facebook site he has is a fake?

[zlatan]

I was right about Sproule.I was right about Stack.I was right about the "Black suit,white shirt,Hibs tie"....Same source for all:greengrin

Don't worry, I'll always think you're cool.

[Hibernian Verse]

Good stuff, making me feel slightly better about next season already as who was going to be here keeper wise was concerning me.

Having Stack's and Sproule's voices amongst the match squads I feel is a good thing to have alongside our younger players.

:agree:This was my thoughts.For a long time now I feel Hibs have had a shortage of strong characters in the dressing room.Im sure it has been a major factor in our poor form and our confidence is very fragile due to it also.Its probably why some players appear as though they arent trying.Its not lack of effort but lack of courage to look for the ball when things arent going well.I think/hope it is something CC will try to address with our new signings

[Liam89]

The common denominator between our 5 win streak and our dreadful form afterwards. :wink:

[Holmesdale Hibs]

Agree. Stack as No1 if fit and Brown for back-up, is there any need for Divis anymore, our 3rd choice should be a youth goalie.

Stack is the best keeper and agree he should start when fit. Still think Brown is a good keeper and is better than every other first choice keeper we've had since Andersson.

[blackpoolhibs]

The only worry we have is keeping him fit, as when he does play he's the best we have and very good at organising the back 4.

They also trust him like no other keeper we have had in a long time. Please stay fit Graham, we need you.:pray:

[Bishop Hibee]

Did you see him on his hands and knees or was it the full belly crawl :rolleyes:

The right deal for both parties and good to have some positive news :agree:

[Hibiza]

great news.

[iwasthere1972]

In re to Stack, does anyone know whether that facebook site he has is a fake?

IMHO it's the real thing. It makes me laugh reading some of the comments on it and how many of them really think they are Graham Stack's mate or pal. He's accepted them on facebook but there's no way he's going to be inviting any of them (or me for that matter) to his hoose for drinks and nibbles.

Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere but this is from his facebook page....

"Im DELIGHTED to say im gonna be a Hibbee for at least another season!! I cant wait to stick the strip on next season and hopefully have some long awaited success! I want to thank everyone who has stood by me when i was injured and was having a difficult time, im determind to stay fit and get myself in the team and be a big part of next season. I would also like to clear up that never at any time did i storm out of any meeting as has been rumoured and had any intention of leaving, talks have been ongoing for a while and am glad to have finally put pen to paper!

Did he say what time and what I should wear. Formal or informal dress?

[aberhibsfc]

I really thought he'd be away.

When fit, certainly a match for any others at the club. Fitness has been an issue during his spell with us. CC obviously rates him, the length of contract must be to both encourage him to stay and prove his fitness. If he spends much time on the treatment table during this contract, I doubt it would be extended.

Good move by CC, hope Stackie keeps clear of injury and battle for the jersey.

[sesoim]

Good news, hope he has better luck with injuries from now on.

[Judas Iscariot]

Great news, Stack is the best GK/only GK we've had at ER in the last 5+ years :agree:

With all his injuries last year think this is what i would expect. Give him a year to show how good he can be when injury free and then offer better contract for the next season.:wink:

You trust your source, who wasn't in the meeting, but don't trust the man who was in the meeting? Bizarre.

I'd suggest that you put up or apologise to the man. ****ing outrageous thing to post, to be honest.

[stokesmessiah]

I would imagine the club have an option on him at the end of the year???? Play x amount of games and an extension kicks in or something along those lines?

[Sumner]

definitely the best keeper at the club,
here's to an injury-free great season ahead Stacky :agree:

[jdships]

The guy is a liar. I trust my source over this.Think about it. Why is he still here on our wages instead of even a league one team?.

Wether he is or not a liar is irrelevant ( he has signed) but to state that on a forum where he can't defend himself is a bit sad .

:confused:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I have nothing against Scott Thomson, but I see Stack as the most technically adept goalie that we have had at ER for a while, and I think he has a longer term future with us as the goalkeeper coach.

[stokesmessiah]

That should read the same one that told me Sproule was there. Was there when Stack came out of the meeting...

Must be true then.

[Kaiser1962]

A contracted Hibs player,the same one that told me Sproule was there when Stack came out of the meeting with his agent and Petrie.Stack said words to the effect he was off(with a few expletives)Wasn't happy with the offer,said his goodbyes,shook hands with a few wishing them all the best for the future.I 100% believe him.
I did say that he might come crawling back. It would appear that he has done exactly that according to the Scotsman:agree:Taking a wage cut?

Has the "contracted" Hibs player told you about anyone else who has been at East Mains in the last week? Would be interesting if it was. Exciting too.

[Kaiser1962]

No...He's not my mole:greengrin...Loads of things must go on that I don't here about.Every now and again I get a call/text.And the info has never been wrong ..

...till now.

[BEEJ]

Why would he make it up?Like I said I have 100% confidence...And as news unfolds it seems even more correct. :wink:Deafening silence from my doubters.:greengrin
What will forever condemn you on this subject is the title of the thread you started on 10 May - "Stack's Off!"


Stack's Off!

It would seem,after a very short meeting with his agent and Petrie today after training.Seemed unhappy with what he was offered,shook a few guy's hands, wished them good luck etc etc..Not saying he might come back crawling but..


Regardless of the back-tracking you may have done in posts then and since, you're guilty of jumping to the wrong conclusions and using attention seeking headlines in the style of some cheap, hack journalist. :greengrin
