Was at the game tonight and, other than the communication breakdown for rangers' goal, thought he was superb tonight. A number of crosses into the box he leapt up and took the ball, snuffing out the attack. Also seemed to have everything else covered even if it eventually went wide. Loved his reaction at the end too, he knew what that meant.

Commanding again. I do wonder if there’s a minority of fans just refuse to take to him for whatever reason. His brilliant performance in the derby should have put any worries about him to bed, but I’m still reading criticism of him on here.

He came put for a few crossers and caught them well which was pleasing to see.
Shame about the goal as he deserved a clean sheet.Cougars!!!

Very strong point of his game is claiming crosses.

He was impressive apart from nearly sticking it in his own net which might have changed the game at the time.

He had a few shaky/unsure moments but outwith the emotion of the game he took some important crosses and overall done his job
Everyone did last night

He seems to be subject to a lot nit picking. I was absolutely delighted with the way he commanded his box yesterday- exactly what's needed in a game like that and that's 3 excellent shows he's put on at Hampden. Can't imagine why anyone wouldn't be satisfied with his performances.

I do think that nostalgia plays a big part, Ofir was one of our most loved keepers in recent memory so people forget the mistakes and occasional dodgy game he had and that’s what Macey has to be compared to.
People also forget that Oxley had some storming games before his confidence started to slip before collapsing under competition from Logan in comparison.
I like Macey. He’s a good goalie at this level.

You can be satisfied - in fact delighted with his performance, while also understand why he should’ve taken the cross for the goal.

I suppose that his fundamental flaw, is that he is not Rocky. But then Rocky wasn't Ben Williams, and so on and so on.

Rocky was a fab shot stopper, probably best I've seen at that part of goalkeeping for Hibs goalies, but his cross-taking and distribution was sketchy at times. A great servant for five years but Rocky is gone now.
Don't really see what Macey has done wrong since he's joined us. There will always be games where the blame will (rightly or wrongly) lie with him, that's just the nature of the beast being a goalkeeper.
But in some of our biggest games over the last year (cup final, against Hearts and yesterday) he's been outstanding.

So its an Unfortunate sequence of events caused by a few factors including the deflection, sclaffed clearance and outnumbered on the break. I wouldnt blame either player really.

Daft error for the goal due to indecisiveness. It happens.
Other than that he was faultless. Commanding, distribution was good and he made the saves he had to with minimal fuss.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

If we're going to be picky i suppose we should classify mistakes by severity and explicability, 1 to 5; id have Macey 1 Porto a 2 but nowhere near a Zibby or malkowski at 5

I thought the goal was clearly Porteous fault. All he had to do was calmly kick the ball back in direction it came from but by trying to kick it out the way he cuts across it.
He had another poor clearance in his own box in the second half which went 30 feet in the air but only 6ft forward. Fortunately nothing came of it.
I should also say he also had a load of great tackles, clearances and defensive headers.
As for the passback incident, putting that at McGregors door. Daz also had two far worse pass backs against Aberdeen recently and has been sent off twice in a handful of appearances. One of my favourite players but all the evidence tells me he should have retired from playing in the summer. It comes to every player even great ones like him.Last edited by CMurdoch; 22-11-2021 at 11:21 AM.

I now get nervous when I see McGregor take to the pitch for us, which has never been the case before. I still love him to bits obviously, but think he’s no longer of the standard we need.

On the backpass issue, Macey lifted his hand and was ready to bat the ball off the line if it hadn't hit the post...that would have been a free kick for a pass back, but not a goal.
