Wasn’t a really a suggestion he shouldnt be playing cause he’s leaving though was it? I said i don’t think Macey would be happy to be dropped for a keeper who’s leaving when he hasn’t done anything to warrant being dropped. Even if Rocky wasn’t leaving, Macey has earned his spot in my eyes.

Macey only got in to play cup games. He hasn’t done anything to earn that chance really - he was promised it and Rocky hasn’t done anything wrong to have been dropped.

He’s clearly first choice and that’s what we see out with the cup games.

And yes there was a suggestion on the thread that he’s leaving so the gloves should be Macey’s.

I've nothing at all against Rocky and would have been happy enough to see him continue with us had a contract been sorted out, but in what way has he been "an outstanding servant to the club"?

From what I've seen he's simply done his job, sometimes very well and sometimes not so well. He's had various layoffs with injury and personal issues (as can happen with anyone) and has also been acommodated in terms of his religion.

I sincerely hope the best for him in the future, but I don't hold him in the same esteem as many on here.

With you all the way on this - been generally good for us these past 5 years so wish him all the best. He’s played very well today so far as well.

However - some of the over hyping of him, I’m guessing by fans that are a bit younger, is becoming a bit much.

Reflex saves have been superb at times but there have been some unconvincing times too.

[Hiber-nation]

Cracking keeper and I'd love to see him start next week, unlikely of course!

I’m not young by any means and he’s one of the best keepers we’ve had in my time supporting Hibs. That’s not over hyping, that’s just a fact.

Of course there are some times all keepers are ‘unconvincing’. He’s done a superb job of minimising those moments though which is all you can ask.

The strange thing for me is the amount of people now suggesting he hasn’t been a top keeper for us. Perhaps taking the huff because he’s leaving.

If we are going to get better than him for next season then brilliant.

Suspect we might not though.

There will be a lot of folk who won’t admit it even if we do end up stronger in the goalie department.

I’m certainly not in the huff - I’d have been happy for him to stay but I’ve never been super comfortable with him a lot of the time.

Like I say - he’s generally been good. ‘Top keeper’ is a matter of opinion though and not ‘fact’ though.

I don’t agree with the first part. He has performed well in the cup games to warrant his starting spot I think.

If he had been performing badly in the cup games then I suspect Rocky would start the final but he hasn’t.

Thank you Ofir.

[Billy Whizz]

Good luck Rocky

I stretch back to the Mike McDonald/Jim McArthur days, off all the keepers we have had since then I would rank Rocky only behind Jim Leighton and Andy Goram. Put Rocky just slightly ahead of Alan Rough.

All the very best to him and his family, they appear to have loved living here, and I hope he gets a really lucrative contract, which I don’t think he’ll have had so far in his career (even if it was to be one of the ugly sisters).

just goes to show there’s no pleasing some. We’ve emerged from in any cases traumatic goal keeping experiences - are we expecting our keepers to be flawless?

[Stanton Spence]

I'd be playing Rocky in the final which has become more or less accepted now that Macy is and should be playing.
I listened to Darren Mcgregor getting awarded his man of the match award on hibs TV and even he said he's the best he's seen at Easter Road and that's good enough for me.
In no way am I having a dig at Macy and he's played well when called upon and played in all the rounds but I'm more from the play your best players when fit and available camp and Rocky is both

Yeah but he only got to play in those games in the first place by way of an arrangement. He didn’t earn it by being better than Rocky.

[RoYO!]

Thank you Ofir!

[007]

I presume Rocky will be on the bench next week so today wasn't definitely his last match (though it probably was). Macey could get injured in training or have to isolate due to Covid.

Nope, and I didn’t say I wasn’t pleased with him overall. He’s been a good goalie for us for a good length of time.

All ether best Rocky, thank you for your excellent service

From what I’ve seen from his wife on Twitter I think Him and his family really settled and enjoyed their time in Edinburgh.

He would have been fit and available in earlier rounds so presumably you'd have just played Rocky all along? I'm not sure that is the best way to use the squad or look after your number one keeper.

Other than that I'm in the camp that there has to be a pathway into the team. That players can get a chance and earn their spot. I agree that Rocky wasn't dropped (in the sense of having done anything wrong) but, having been given an opportunity, Macey has been worthy of further inclusion.

I probably would have played rocky all along or at least from the last 8.
I'm just not a big fan changing your goal keeper based on the competition and think it should be all about who is the best keeper. But I can't argue if Macy is in goals as I expect now for the final

Firstly can I say I would like to wish him all the best, he's been with us for quite a while, and that in itself deserves a lot of credit. As far as his goalkeeping ability is concerned, he is a good, solid keeper, nothing remarkable but certainly not a bad keeper. I certainly wouldn't have minded if he was the keeper in the SC final either. It's difficult to compare him with any of our recent keepers cos most of them have been have been pretty **** TBH. The other thing was, did he not put in a transfer request, was it last season or the season before? Might be wrong but there was a strong rumour on here about it.

I come in around Gordon Marshall and I'd still agree.

I go back to Ronnie Simpson, dont think Rocky was as good as Roughie, but he has been a very good goalkeeper for Hibs and I would wish him awe the very best as long as he dont go to sevco.

An international keeper that came to us in the championship, helped get us promoted, helped us to two of our best seasons ever points wise. No idea why the mention about accommodating his religion, very strange comment. He’s been outstanding, you just have to look at the clear feeling around social media regarding his last game today. The best this century and by a decent distance.

''sometimes very well'' - you mean, the vast majority of the time very well?

''sometimes not so well'' - rarely make a mistake

[Stuart93]

Best goalie I’ve seen at hibs in my time watching them

There’s not been a good selection to choose from mind you

See you Big Man and All the best

[Magpie]

Thank you Rocky. Brilliant keeper.

[Lago]

Any more info as to where he will end up next season? Was the Celtic connection just paper talk?
