Out the LC on penalties too.

I'd get Oxley to take the pens. If he can score from 80 yards I'm sure he could score from 18.

Thought the penalty spot was 12 yards out?

Did he miss one at Ibrox once? Sure I remember that, think we lost 1-0.

Tam mcmanus missed one at ibrox. Think we lost 5-2 and it was 2-2 at the time.

Should let Cummings take all our penalties.
He's full of confidence, and needs the practice for the play-offs.

did he no miss one v dufc in the cup

I'm sure he scored? Gray and Kennedy missed IIRC

so we'd be above the the rangers....and Craig missed when we were 1 up did he no ?...so that surely would have been a swing of 3 points (sorry cant remember for sure if we were already 1 up when we got the pen - no doubt someone will confirm)

sure it was 0 0 at the time

Cummings had been subbed off before the shootout against Dundee United, only penalty he's taken at senior level so far was the miss in the shootout against Hamilton

I'd like to see David Gray take them, or Scott Allan. Both strike the ball very well and are normally very confident players.

I don't like left footed penalty kick takers, i dont know the stats but when i'm watching penalties or penalty shoot outs, there seems to be a higher percentage of left footed players that miss.

Gray missed the crucial one in the DUFC cup game. He did strike it sweetly mind, right down the middle though. He's injured a lot as well so could still be relying on someone else at times.
I liked the way Sparky used to whip them with his left peg right into the corner. He even told the Motherwell keeper where he was going to put his second in that 0-4 game and the keeper still couldn't reach it

I thought the one last night was well taken, but a combination of the keeper guessing the right way and then being about TWO YARDS OFF HIS LINE meant he was able to make a good save.

Refs assistant standing on the line watching for this I presume and he doesn't see this? what's the point in him being there?

Yet another example of the officials not doing the job they are paid to do. I simply ask why? The evidence is overwhelming.

I'm exactly the same.

Once I told an ex goalie this and to my surprise he agreed, he said you could always read where they were going to place them.

Sparky was an obvious exception to that rule but he tended to put all his penalties to the goalkeepers left. Only one I can think different was when he changed sides at St.Mirren.

I can remember Joe Tortolano taking a penalty, I don't think there was a single person in the ground that expected him to score.

Thought the two McGeough scored were nearly perfect penalties. Hard and right in the corner out of the keepers reach, even when he guessed right.

Last night though I think we all knew what he was going to do. Including the goalie who was nearly away before he hit it.

My memory was that for at least one of them, Q of S? the keeper was very close to the ball. Anyway, we're agreed his pen on Wed was keek!
