Alan Combe

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Looks like he is set to become our new Goalkeeping Coach according to the Scottish Sun. Still waiting on him replying to my mail on Facebook. But thoughts?

He warmed up the keepers today

[BT58]

i know his dad ALAN snr,,,very guid hibee,,, if he can make our goalies better then why not,,
Alan jr was a good goalie with Killie, always thought he could do a job for us,,,hopefully his experience will make our goalies a lot better :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[HoboHarry]

Hope wee Lewis doesn't mention to him that he won a MOM in a cup final once.......:greengrin

[col02]

If he comes on board as goalkeeping coach then I could see it being a good thing to have him as backup to a younger keeper as well as passing on his experience. Personally I have long felt it a waste of a wage having purely a goalkeeper coach at a club of Hibernians size.

[Jamesie]

Third time lucky for Alan if he signs for us this time round! Good luck to him.

[Stuarty27]

He was there today, looked fit enough to play never mind coach :)

What age is he?

[Mr White]

What age is he?

Turned 40 in April.

[Keith_M]

Is this the same guy that once conceded 5 goals in a Cup Final?



:wink:

.He might have to.

[gegs70]

I like alan and if we sign him I will be happy with him as coach...good hibby too!

[Scouse Hibee]

Does his son still play? I remember watching him in the U15/16 Scotland team at East Fife along with Jamie Walker and Fraser Fyvie

[NOLA]

really good coach would welcome him with open arms! as im sure the goalies will when we sign some :wink:

[hfc rd]

At long last! Hopefully Steve Marsella just sticks with the scouting.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Is Combe a Hibee? I thought he was a Hearts fan?

[Aldo]

Nope Him and his family are very much Hibs fans I'm led to believe.

[Yuillsy]

Major Hibby mate!

[craigmounthibby]

Is Scott Thomson still on gardening leave, or has his contract expired?

[greenlex]

Very much a Hibee. His father is too. as are his uncles. His Grandfather was the six member of the Famous Five FFS. :flag:

He's bobby combes grandson?! I feel a bit :doh: for being unaware of that!

[Thecat23]

He used to wear a Hibs top to training when at Dundee Utd. Just to wind up the manager :D

[greenforgo]

He's bobby combes grandson?! I feel a bit :doh: for being unaware of that! no he is not his grandson

[Jonnyboy]

no he is not his grandson

Grand Nephew, I believe

[Scouse Hibee]

no he is not his grandson

Grand nephew according to what I have read.

JB beat me to it :greengrin

Acted like a **** end at the 2-1 derby defeat TC and to be honest you'd have thought Alan was a raging Yam by the end of the game......I know they paid his wages (mibbes :greengrin) but he acted like a prize erchie during and after the game.

Spoke to him during the warm down and he had developed the Yam arrogance that seems to flow through that club :rolleyes:

[greenlex]

Happy to be corrected but the sentiment remains. :flag:

I noticed that mate, I sit right behind the home dugout and he was raging and shouting abuse at the fourth official too.

All will be forgiven if he helps us with our own keepers and gives the Jambos the two fingers 😄

Alan Combe....he may have worked for the manky mob and played in the original 5-1 game.... However he will always be remembered for the Matty Jack game!!

That was hilarious!

I thought he was going to smack the ref!

[lord bunberry]

I went to school with him he stayed next door to me good keeper but not as good as me

[Mr White]

That was hilarious!

I thought he was going to smack the ref!

He restrained himself and spat at the linesman instead!
Edit- actually accused of headbutting the linesman.

Really??

I honestly never knew that. I thought he just went off on one and went down the tunnel. That's bad patter doing that.

See my edit, seems it was an alleged headbutt after initial reports he spat were denied.

[wheniwas5]

After his antics at game at Easter road after hearts game he shouldn't get anywhere near this club,Hibee or not.

Still shouldn't be doing that either. Hope he's grown up since this.

Alan went to Leith Academy, seen.him at a number of games and he is a hibby!

[Forza Fred]

I think I went to school....Leith Academy...with who must have been his Dad or Uncle.

That 's my claim to fame for the week.

[wheniwas5]

Don't know how to do this copy and paste but true hibernian post on page 1 gives you a rough idea.
Thou sure it would be on you tube . Carried on like a rite hertz

He was obviously pissed off at the way game ended and the team he was playing for lost the match ,that says to me he likes to win are you stuck on this hibs class pish,i want winners at our club people that hate to lose at anything,nice guys finish last mibbies not the way folk would like it to be but true (except with ladies when finishing last is all good):cb


Edit..so he played for the dark side and celebrated wins with them shows how much he likes to win as he in a Hibby through and through,ill take 11 winners on pitch and another 15 winners ready to step in regardlesss of where they been and what they done on the pitch:flag:

[Hibeesmad]

Stubbs has confirmed that Alan will be joining the club and there is a possibility he could come in as a player/coach, one for the bench I'd imagine

[California-Hibs]

And where did he confirm this?

Hibs fan aye. Alan Combe is an absolute fanny, Hearts ****.

Far better with Scott Thomson.

Interested to hear why you think he's an absolute fanny? I used to know him and his old man years ago but haven't seen either for a good few years. His uncle however is my Dad's best mate and I do see him regularly and he's kept me up to date on his career etc. Always found them all to be thoroughly decent guys and massive Hibs fans. Until he signed for Hearts, he would regularly be at Hibs games with his Dad.

I used to sit behind the goals and every time without fail he was an ignorant, sneering, petulant, arrogant, smug little ****. Never taken to him.

No thanks.

:hilarious winning isn't exactly the first thing I associate with alan combe, I wouldn't say it's something he's too familiar with.

Scott Thomson was regarded as the best goalkeeping coach several of the players have worked with. Source - the players.

We all, rightly, criticised Billy Broon for his split loyalties at the time of the cup final.

I want players and coaches who give 100% for the club that pay their wages. I couldn't care what team any of our players support or what loyalty they have shown to other teams/employers in the past just as long as winning at Hibs is their priority whilst at ER.

It's about time our players showed a bit more passion - or even arrogance!

[hibb1]

Im not talking about winning cups/leagues there are not many of those type of players in scotland unless they play for one of the ugly sisters,Im talking about winning games and not taking it lying down when he loses

[ackeygraham]

End of the days Stubbs has seen enough to warrant giving him a role at the club. He's a decent guy away from the pitch and like everyone gets caught up in the moment.

He's a winner, hates losing. I myself am like that and if can distill this into the club then more than happy for that. Hopefully we'll see a more senior keeper this week though and he can coach rather than play unless dire need.

Brilliantly put m8 - I know Alan, he's a massive Hibee and it's winners we need at this club

[Dublin07]

I was at college with Alan in 90-91. He was 100% Hibs and a good mate at the time. We went to a derby together at tynie after college ended just about the same time he gave up work to sign professional. Think it was houchens debut game.
