Makalamby

[CockneyRebel]

Not a bad read from Makalamby on BBC Sports News. Can't post a link as my PC and mobile are only one step up from an abacus.

Squaring up to Yogi ffs. Why is a manager getting that involved ?

I remember being at his debut well, was a cracking night.

Never really rated the big man to be honest. Had a few howlers in him including one against Hearts that he seems to have forgotten about.

He was a fairly likeable character though but I also always felt he was a bit of a storyteller like Big Gaz.

Hibs goalkeeping curse will never go away. Dear oh dear.

Mycalamity more like?

My nerves are fragile enough on a Derby weekend without seeing that name again!

Velicka(?) I think. Horribly soft goal that kind of squirmed in, the like of which we rarely get against them!

Good guy, not a great goalkeeper.

Tbf to him he should never have been put in the position. We had a succession of high profile goalkeeping errors prior to his arrival and the media were lapping it up. We needed an experienced steady Eddie to calm the furore down. Instead John Collins heaped all of that pressure on the shoulders of a 20 year old who had never played a 1st team game.

What goalkeeping curse?
Henry henry drop the ball.

BBC making up a "curse" total rubbish. We currently have the best two keepers in the league !

It was Makalambay that mentioned it, not the BBC.

Very selective memory from Yves.

Why was Yogi having a go at him? Because he was 10 minutes late for training, and why did a teammate step in? Because the players where fed up with it being the ‘Yves show’.

Not sure what this article is trying to achieve, but be assured his version of events are exaggerated.

He fails to mention the lengths the players and staff went to make him feel part of the squad - he seemed to revel in being an outsider....then play the victim.

He was unmanageable by the time he left - not turning up to training, going awol, charging personal bills to the club.

He left a bitter taste for many.

What was the name of the poster on here who used to rave about Makalamby being destined for greatness? I could never make up my mind up whether he/she was extracting the urine or not.

[Hibernia&Alba]

A big likable guy, but not nearly consistent enough as a keeper. He could be brilliant and farcical in the same match. Overall a big no.

I remember him.

He bet me £100 that Makalambay would be playing in the EPL within 3 years. I'm still waiting on my money.

Was it Hibs Spain? He was insane or commendably devoted to a wind-up.

3-3 against Aberdeen fairly soon after he arrived remains the worst I've ever seen from a Hibs keeper. Not even Smith or Zibi could take the blame for three howlers in one game.

[Diclonius]

"At Hibs, you could win 4-1, concede one goal from a mistake, and afterwards it's all about the goalkeeping curse," he says. "I do not think the curse will go away as long as the derby is there because the Hearts fans are feeding on that. That's why my biggest achievement in Scottish football was never making a mistake against Hearts."

Aye, apart from the one where you fumbled Velicka's shot into the net at Tynecastle in a 1-0 win for them. And the one where you ran about a mile from the goal trying to close down Driver, leaving Nade with a tap-in in the Scottish Cup defeat at ER.

It's bizarre that he would make that claim when the evidence is there.

That's half the forum

Great song, ***** keeper.

[Callyballybe]

Obviously doesn't follow Hibs, or Scottish football, that much anymore if he thinks we still have a goalkeeping curse.

Seems a bit of a character, but is yesterday's news.

He got on the bench at a premier league play off final. Bet that was a lot closer than you thought!

[Smartie]

I liked him.

Remember when he goosed his leg and had to throw the ball out all the time, and he was effortlessly hurling it up by the halfway line?

He's the bonkers epitome of a Hibs goalkeeper. A personality, capable of utter brilliance when he could be bothered but gaffe prone. His howlers were worse than Zibi's, he just chose to have a few less against Hearts than Zibi (who I always thought was actually pretty decent, very unfortunate to make all of his mistakes against them).

Wonder if he enjoyed his free Lithuanian holidays.

[Besties Debut]

Remember against Aberdeen at Pittodrie he tried to take a kick out but instead blasted it against Robbie Winters back. It then looped over the big fools head and went in. Also against Hearts we were 1-0 down going in at half time and down to 10 men. Yves obviously didnt fancy what was coming in the second half so he cried off injured. His team mates thought he had bottled it and faked an injury

Took what really well? The name of a random Aberdeen player from years ago barley registers with me. I dont care who it was. Then again im not a space cadet and an anorak .
