So did Deek play or is he still to make debut?
Scored tonight I see. Wonder what his goal bonus is...
You won’t be surprised to read that it was an absolute screamer of a free kick aswell
Yeah his goal.
nice wee East Final against Fallin coming up!!!!
Watched a bit of him playing last night at Saughton as my son was training a couple of pitches away - have to say was pretty sad watching a legend like him struggle on that public park with a slope like that - he didn't look any better than the rest of the players tbh
O'Connor played for them last Saturday in 1-1 draw with whoever they played.
By the looks of things there's a boy called Horribine playing for them as well, was there not a lad called Horribine that was at the Hibs u-20s a few years ago?
Obviously a few decent players at St Bernards now!
I watched him last night as well with my boy training - and agree totally, the standard was honking, and Deek looked no better or worse than his teammates.
hard not to get all misty eyed and think of the top times with him at Hibs and then seeing him last night......
And the side slope on the pitch was a shocker
Seemed to play the game with ease first time around at us. Occasionally deciding to ping a 30 yarder into the top corner when he fancied. Wonder how it would have all turned out if he'd stayed with us instead of going to Celtic. Was still a top player when he returned and will always remember his second debut for us at Hamilton....you guessed it, a casual 30 yarder into the top corner a few mins after coming off the bench. Tremendous player in his prime and gave me so many good memories.
He still scored some barry goals against THEM though eh? :greengrin:thumbsup::flag:
ENDOF :not worth
Yup, the corner of the box is 18 yards from the goal line and 18 yards from the goal posts. The goal posts are 8 yards apart and the crossbar is 2.67 yards high. Therefore a shot from exactly the corner of the box to the nearest top corner would be just over 25.5 yards. A shot to the furthest top corner would be 31.7 yards.
My inexact calculations based on youtube footage puts Riordan's returning goal as a 25 yarder (not taking into account any curl or dip on the ball... ).
