If he produces half the quality of some of these saves he will be at hibs for many years to come!

[TrinityHibs]

https://youtu.be/fs_6lPDatEk

Hadn't seen that before. That's impressive.

[hibsbollah]

Great to see him arrivaling :aok:

[GreenCastle]

You mean he will be at Hibs for a year or 2 then off to the EPL ;)

[Treadstone]

I'll be disappointed if he is not called Rocky within ten seconds of him being at East Mains.

[Finn2015]

Looks a big imposing keeper. Looks the part definitely

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

https://youtu.be/fs_6lPDatEk

Wow!

Welcome Rocky!

[BH Hibs]

Is an airpirt what the policeman from Allo Allo calls an airport?

[Andy74]

https://youtu.be/fs_6lPDatEk

He's got a decent name so I'm sure he will get some leeway for not holding on to more. :greengrin

[GreenCastle]

He's brought more than hand luggage..he is our new number 1 !

Looks quality also and is an international keeper.

Season long loan !

[cookin_on_gaz]

He can throw the ball further than I can kick it :not worth

[Coults1875]

Don't all our good players go to the lesser greens?.... :cb

[McSwanky]

Any idea when the unveilering is at Easter Road? Will there be a special Press Conferenceral to announce his arrivaling?

[staunchhibby]

Looks quite impressive

[JimboHibs]

If he produces half the quality of some of these saves he will be at hibs for many years to come!

Im sure it's a season long loan deal.

[bingo70]

Parked up to make some work calls at the famous five stand, few journalists and photographers along with lee Anne Dempster milling about so I'm guessing they're waiting on doors opening to do the formal announcement with scarf above the head etc.....

Hibs.net reporting live from the scene......

[Jim44]

............ but can he score goals? :greengrin

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I have a pic but can't upload the bloody thing from my phone. He had to push his own trolly too, get it sorted petrie!!!!

WHAT!!! I'm no having this....get it sorted petrie!!!

[Boyle89]

I know that's highlights on YouTube but **** me he looks amazing! Should probably try and calm myself but i can't wait to see him in action!

[Iain G]

Reminds me of Oli Gottskalkson for some reason...and half of those saves look photoshopped :greengrin

What we need is a school of pretty average goalkeepers! :agree:

[hibbytam]

............ but can he score goals? :greengrin

According to his wiki page, aye. He's scored 4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofir_Marciano

[XXIVMMXVI]

Going by that footage he looks a keeper...excuse the pun:wink:

[The_Horde]

According to his wiki page, aye. He's scored 4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofir_Marciano

He's also Jewish. We ever had any Jewish players?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

For fun in this league. (copyright of the hibs.net cliché thread)

[dangermouse]

Don't know and don't care.

[CropleyWasGod]

Don't think players normally disclose their religion when they sign for us.

Thankfully :cb

[Iain G]

Gordon Jewrie probably the nearest we got :greengrin

[Allant1981]

Don't know and don't care.

Why reply then

[Ergye]

He's got big gloves to fill, replacing the greatest Hibernian player of all time.

I'll be seeking Conrads opinion on this guy before I get too hot and bothered thank you very much.

[Jack Hackett]

https://youtu.be/fs_6lPDatEk

Big, athletic, commanding, fearless....he'll save for fun in this league :thumbsup:

[tamig]

Punching is obviously in the genes 😀

[HibeeMackenzie]

Wonder if he'll play for the hibs XI tomorrow at tranent

[GlesgaeHibby]

Nowehere near fat enough....PETRIE

[banarc7062]

https://youtu.be/fs_6lPDatEk

Excellent based on this selection of saves. Very agile and alert. Will do for me. GGTTH

[SunshineOnLeith]

If he doesn't score on his home debut he can GTF as far as I'm concerned. Even Mark Oxley managed that.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Gordon Jewrie probably the nearest we got :greengrin

:not worth

[GreenCastle]

He does look too good to be true..

Remember this Edvin Ve de Graff video - http://youtu.be/XFRcrjspwi0

[superfurryhibby]

Why reply then

His reply makes a point that I would imagine many of us share.

Marciano hopefully adds the quality we've lacked amongst our keepers in recent years. Experienced and looking to make a name in European football. Good business from Hibs here.

[Walter]

Good facial hair, too long since we've had a player with pornstar looks.

Maybe he can have a tache off with Petrie

If you dont care about something someone has said just ignore it

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Ah but did that include a header?

[scuttle]

He's got a decent name so I'm sure he will get some leeway for not holding on to more. :greengrin

With a name like that surely he will be punching it rather than catching it

[Brightside]

He doesn't catch many in that vid... :wink:

He doesn't actually catch many does he:na na::offski:

[Waxy]

I want easter road to be ringng with the sound of rocky rocky rocky rocky like the Philidelphia spectrum thingy, and lets play eye of the tiger too.

[Pretty Boy]

Don't know and don't care.

Bit harsh.

It would be an interesting bit of trivia to know. Might even make a pub quiz one day.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Thankfully :cb

The evidence would probably just be circum eh circum eh stantial anyway. ;-)

[bingo70]

Too much made of keepers catching the ball these days. With the movement players get on these fly away balls it's not worth the risk of trying to catch the ball, too much to lose if the catch goes wrong.

Obviously they need to get a good punch on it and there are still balls they should be catching but I think modern keepers are judged on what good keepers used to do 20+ years ago.

If in doubt get it to **** by whatever means necessary in my book.

(Apologies if I've missed a whoosh moment as I suspect I may have done)

[Hibby70]

He's also Jewish. We ever had any Jewish players?

Chanukah Charnley?

There's a joke in there about a German football manager from the 70s. ......and it should probably stay in that decade :)

Did Ronnie Rosenthal ever actually make an appearance for Hibs? Remember him being linked with us many moons ago.

No.
Signed for Liverpool instead.
We signed Mark McGraw

I was about 95% sure he never got any minutes on the pitch for us but, had a wee niggle in the back of my head that he might've turned out in a friendly. Happy enough to be proved wrong!

Which hertz thug was it pretty much ended him? sandison & black are in my mind, albeit at the mini hun loving airdrie, but walter kidd was kicking about (pardon the pun about hertz or airdrie thugs fae then, its just common knowledge thats how they played & got results at that time, kicking anything that moved) but Mak Mcgraw was just- finally- starting to find confidence & show something then, & just like a certain thug berry did tae another Hibs player, Mcgraws knee got some typical hertz treatment, & the future just didnae quite go tae plan.

[StevieCowan]

Never played in first team.

Played a trial for us under Miller v Rangers, scored a couple and someone tipped off Liverpool after Daily Record run the story.

Neil Berry done Paul Wright

Did McGraw not get injured against Dunfermline the week before we beat them in the league cup final? Missed the final as a result?

IIRC Mark McGraw got injured at ER V The Pars, cannae mind who did it though.

I'm sure Rosenthal scored 5 in his first game for Liverpool after knocking us back.
I remember the papers reporting that we refused the 50k signing on fee to sign him.

I was chuffed when we signed McGraw.
I'm also sure we paid good money for him .
250k?

He did. Think we put a few past them that day and he crossed the ball in from the corner of the East and what is now the FF and the defender caught him as he put the cross in. Looked a sore one. We beat Liverpool to sign him from Morton.

[ALF TUPPER]

McGraw got Crocked against Dunfermline sure it was grant tierney who done him

Yeah defo Dunfermline but I seem to remember it was Davie Moyes it was who clobbered him. Might be wrong 👍🏻

[Hi Heid Yin]

Wow! He really does perform like a proper keeper in that Youtube Video.
If he replicates this in goals for Hibs then we have a real talent on our hands.
What a confidence-inducer he will also be for our back line.

[brog]

Just as long as he Israeli good!! Sorry!

Yup. Played at Jordanhill College where I was doing my teacher training. I think I was the only Hibby in the crowd of about a dozen. He looked a player then.

[Jim Herriot]

He's also Jewish. We ever had any Jewish players?

According to the Hibernian History Handbook (a good read BTW), we've never had an Israeli player in the first-team squad. (I know that's not the same as what you asked.)

[RIP Bestie]

Thank god he's got him arrivaling all over Twitter and not coming all over it. :wink:

Just had a text from a Harry Potter, saying "WTF, Hibs have signed the new Zefuik and they're wasting his obvious talents in GOALS???"

I can confidently predict that this deal will be announced by 2018 at the very latest.
