No it's not a thread about the girl who looks after your kids while you and the wife/husband are out on the razzle. If it was then I could mention a few. :agree:
What from your own personal experience (you had to be at the match and not just watching it on the 50" plasma tv) is the worst "sitter" that you have seen a player miss.
Ivan Sproule
It was at Easter Road against Arbroath when Ivan had the ball on the edge of the penalty area, dribbled past the defender and all he had to do was put it in the net from about the penalty spot area. The Hibs fans in the FF were up from their seats getting ready to celebrate a goal but unfortunately wee Ivan skelped the ball with his left peg and it sailed past the post. :faf: I think even Ivan was having a wee chuckle.
I may have seen worse but that's the one I remember best.

Callum Milne at Firhill in a cup game, he even had his hands up celebrating before he kicked it. :greengrin
Not the worse but worthy of a mention at least...im sure others will remember it too..
Andy Watson at Paisley dribbles his way through the St mirren rearguard & with only a tap in past the keeper required he proceeded to run the ball past the post !!! :grr:....why didnt that surprise me with Watson ...:greengrin

:thumbsup: I knew it was a team from oop north. :greengrin
The old memory is obviously on the way out because I thought he took it past a defender. Makes the miss even worse.

Dirk Lehman v I think it was v Clydebank but at Morton's ground?:confused:
He was basically on the goal line but somehow managed to miss... kind of kicked it away from goal... unbelievable :no way:

Sam Morrow header against the pubteamers at ER, sure it was a new yearish game, famous five end and he put his header wide.

Craig Brewster for Hibs v. Dundee United. His first game back at Tannadice, got a great reception from the United fans and they loved him even more when he missed a genuine half open goal from a couple of yards out.

Hearts were 1-0 up at the time threw Neil Pointin (remember it very well) that sitter cost hearts as Michael Oneil and Kevin Harper won it for Hibs 2-1...incidentally we had just been papped 7-0 at Ibrox which made the win even more remarkable.

Remember being in the FF directly in line with it and thinking 'HTF did he miss that?'
Anyways, back to OP, I'm gonna break the TV rule and put forward Kanu for Portsmouth only 2 yards out and blazed it over the bar, Ronnie Rozenthal (remember we tried to sign him???!!) for Liverpool v Villa and Giggs for Man Utd v the Arsenal

Joe Harper, many years ago and I don't remember who we were playing, but it was at ER and we were shooting down the slope. He did all the hard work, presenting himself with an open goal, but then tried to belt it and miskicked so badly it more or less went out for a throw in front of the main stand.

Again only saw this on TV. Eammon Bannon playing for Hearts in a European tie against an Irish team IIRC. Three yards out with an empty net in front of him and he headed the ball past the post. :faf::faf::faf:

Worst sitter witnessed - Nade when he was on the bench.
I seem to recall a number of times when I was listening on the radio "Watson screws it over the bar from 6 yards..."

I once saw Mario Jardel miss an open goal from quite literally a yard out in a Carling Cup game against Walsall (or maybe Gillingham?) at the Reebok a few years ago. He made Nade look like a Weight Watchers success story.

Good shout, but he missed an almost identical header at Castle Greyskull a few days before that. Two to choose from...
Agathe's miss against the Jambos was indeed a pearler !

Me. An Edin Ams match about 25 years ago. I was right under the bar to tap in to an open goal and managed to get it up and over the bar. what a red face!!!! Not one player could believe it was possible - the ref was even going to give it but realised I'd missed by the hysterical laughter from my own team-mates
