Maybe you need a break from the keyboard for a while - thats a few fellow Hibbies you've managed to insult in this thread alone.

It was a facetious response to a facetious comment.

Calling someone "thick" isn't facetious, it's out of order.

Can we keep this thread on topic please folks.

Shouldn't go around calling folks 'thick' when you're clearly in the habit of using big words you don't know the meaning of - like 'facetious'.

'Facetious' doesn't mean 'rude, belligerent, arrogant and aggressive'.

:devil:

I famously remember Carroll from the blunder against spurs. As a spurs fan I was gutted that evening!!

how did olympiacos get on this past season ?

Think we're forgetting that the poor standard of the SPL is a fairly easy league to play well in. Goalkeepers with half the talent of most championship goalkeepers can look good here.

Then again we've got mugs like you who can read wikipedia and spout all the clubs he played for (or not in carrolls case) so that makes him a great signing.

Wayhey Sweetheart, you're good value. Why 'absolutely zero' by the way? What's the difference between zero and absolutely zero? Perhaps Zero? Roy Carroll is the most nervous footballer you've seen play, is that right? He's NEVER been first choice has he not, not even for Hull and not for Wigan? The problem with the club over the last few years has been that we've signed players on a downward spiral is it? Please show me where I said Carroll was an exciting prospect (hint: You can't - I didn't)

What a throbber!! =) How much can you get wrong in one post?

All I know Double H is that we've asked and he's on good money where he is but that club he's at are skint.

As opposed to the enlightened intellect you've treated us to so far.

Who is 'ant derby fan'? You've got two mates, do they know? So two people, who hold season tickets and somehow they are qualified in their opinions about goalkeepers are they? Dearie me, it's not even sport, this.

I think you are a bit wrong, regarding Leighton,world cup performances while on the Hfc books. If my memory serves me right, he was the biggest stand out goalie in the league, at the time and yet the Scotland manager of the day, decided to opt for Andy Goram, the ex-Hfc ,Rangers goalkeeper, for the three games we played in. anyone, correct me if i'm wrong, or are we talkin aboot different world cups?

It has been discussed on one of the rumours threads. Don't know enough about him but in Fenlon I trust.

lets hope so, clancy - mcpake&michalik - hanlon??? my only problem is i really like booth.

Nice to see another fellow Hibee make an ar*e out of themselves. Don't get why some people seem to think their opinion is law then get all high & mighty when people voice a different opinion. Personally I'd sign Carroll on a 1-year rolling contract to see how he does but also sign another keeper in case it turns out he's another Malkowski :greengrin

roy carroll = experiance,fight & i recon he would give the team the wee bit extra bite!
better than stack&brown so i don't see why not?

He certainly has "pedigree" but I've always thought he's looked shaky whenever I've seen him. Presumably he'd command a fairly high wage so I'd pass unless we got him at a rock bottom price wage-wise.

It said on the news we are talking to him but so are carlsile & other clubs.

I would sell Hanlon. He's pish it as he is U21 capt we may get some money.

Not got wot it takes in my opinion

Left mid???

Yep Booth left mid .. I've said this for over a year now

Don't you feel like maybe it's time we tried Kujabi in Left Mid ?! I've heard several people talking about it, and maybe him and Hanlon could make a good attacking/defensive wing ?!

With two good central defenders, I would agree, but pace could still be a problem

Noted, and that could be a problem. I just feel they could be a good "over-lapping" pair each potentionally filling each others position.

Speedway or anyone.......

Is the RC signing real or speculation?

Would be brilliant if true

If Roy suffered from depression, does he really think coming to Hibs would be a great idea?:devil:

Hanlon would just have to prove he deserves a place. We need to better at the back so can't just keep the team the same as last season. We also currently don't have a right back and Clancy has played there.
