Oh behave yourself - it had already been stated by someone else that it was surprising there had been doubts. If people want to react to a personal opinion that I ‘think’ we might have upgraded then that’s up to them on a forum. This debate has been going on before tonight.

Sorry I made you have to be negative about Macey … I’m sure it’s nothing to do with your own desire to be right no?🙄

Definitely not.

I certainly never wrote him off before tonight either, I just had some reservations and wasn’t convinced. Performances like tonight and the cup final are certainly going a long way to winning me over.

FWIW I’ll apologise if my wee rant was disproportionate to your comment too. It’s a pet hate of mine on here just now that any sort of ‘negative’ opinion is jumped upon from certain posters, not necessarily you, as if you’ve got some anti Hibs agenda.

I think Macey was excellent tonight and has been so in other games as well. There has been moments that’s given me some cause for concern though. There’s not been any extreme criticism of him, just a small amount of people that have said similar to me I think. That’s why I think a post likely to dredge up his mistakes, or mistakes people think he made, was unnecessary. Just enjoy the fact he played well.

I just want the boy to get a fair crack of the whip mate - certainly not an attempt to point score or whatever. I'm glad you've said your reaction was disproportionate as it was a just a genuine opinion about how he'd performed previously.

I 100 percent disagree re the Celtic goal and even the Motherwell game but it's a fair enough debate and I certainly don't think its an anti Hibs agenda by those who aren't sure... but that's the sort of thing you can argue about on a forum. I've said before that I normally agree with the vast majority of Andy74's posts on other things for instance and he's anything but anti Hibs from what I can see so it's not a personal thing either.

I did enjoy the fact he played well- I also know we won't know if he's a good replacement for a while yet... just think the signs are very good.

I'll tell you how good he is after 6/7 games into the season. Far too early to label him better than Marciano or even if you think he's terrible. Good performance today though.

He’s already played 6 or 7 games for us

I'm aware. But he hasn't been our number 1 in the league so far. He's had a couple of cup games and a couple of appearances filling in for Rocky. My point is more that once the sample size is bigger we can start making comparisons to Rocky.

Just a thought- we don’t need to compare him to Rocky at all? That’s what was happening last year when folk got annoyed he got picked and they started making stuff up about positioning to justify getting Rocky back in the team.

Blaming the Motherwell goals on Macey is some stretch.

Including Ross who acknowledged Rocky was his first choice. Nothing was made up about that.

It’s lovely Macey is getting backed. I sense quite a bit of it is over played as a result of not liking Marciano for some reason.

Rocky was a good keeper. Hopefully Macey will be too but we are early for any declarations on that.

His save from the penalty in the cup final and his performance tonight give me a lot of confidence that he’ll go and and be a cracking keeper for us. I was a little worried after the Motherwell game as he looked a bit dodgy, but every player has a bad day. We have to remember he will only get better playing games and getting used to playing with our defence. He could turn out to be a fantastic keeper for us as he has all the attributes of the modern day keeper.
