Nisbet miss

[Cat Stanton]

Don't have sky, so just heard about the miss on the radio - and read about it on hibs.net obviously. Then heard it mentioned in the BBC post-match interview with Jack Ross. So I was curious to see it in the sportscene "highlights" - where, obviously, it didn't feature..

Any footage?

Anything else missed by Sportscene?

You missed that miss, how remiss of you

Do you mean Nisbet’s brilliant shot on the turn that looked a goal all the way until McLaughlin pulled off a fantastic save and managed to turn it round the post ?

No.

He had a fresh air swipe at the ball right in front of goal 5 yards out just before Barasic pulled Doidge to the ground for the penalty which wasn’t given.

[BILLYHIBS]

No.
OK

Was it not a bit behind him? I thought he was trying to backheel it to Doidge before he was pulled down

[lord bunberry]

No.
I can’t think of another chance he had, he was outstanding today.

[007 Mickey Weir]

Wasn’t a miss. Ball was behind him and he couldn’t get to it.

[JimBHibees]

Did sportscene genuinely not show this chance, incredible if they didnt

[Pretty Boy]

I read it described as a sitter but I'd struggle to agree with that. He may well be a bit disappointed not to have tucked it away but it wasn't a sitter.

[Crab apple]

Wasn’t a miss. Ball was behind him and he couldn’t get to it.

That’s the way I saw it too.

[Fritz]

Incredible if it never made the highlights. It was one of the
major incidents in the game. And yes it was a sitter that Nisbet missed, should have scored. Maybe slightly behind him but still, bad miss.

[patlowe]

Didn't see the game but the radio boys were pretty much speechless that Hibs didn't score - was keen to see it on the highlights...

[Sammy7nil]

It was a miss not easy but definitely a miss he will be disappointed he did not score.

Was not a "sitter" as such.

Ball dropped behind him and was cleared before he had chance to move his feet.

The radio guys were probably still upset that we had scored already.

[Magpie]

I assume you mean the one where he just needs to tap it in from Doidge’s rebound. That’s the one I just saw on Sportscene anyway.

[HendoDelivered]

He will score more than he will miss.

Agreed. The sitters were the chances missed by Arfield and Kent and magnificently saved by Marciano.

[Monts]

I would put that one down to bad luck rather than a bad miss. IIRC The ball came back just behind him at about waist height and he couldn't adjust quick enough.

[Heisenberg]

Aside from this miss, his touch, spin then volley effort in the first half was top class. So good to have two quality strikers again.

[The Godfather]

He had a fresh air swipe at the ball right in front of goal 5 yards out just before Barasic pulled Doidge to the ground for the penalty which wasn’t given. I saw that and as screaming at the screen. I ended up watch game with no volume as McCoist and Boyd were dong my head in with the Rangers bias,, was it even picked up in any analysis?

[DH1875]

They showed it on sportscene :confused: Not so much a miss in that it was a poor shot or anything like that, he just misses the ball completely inside the box although to be fare the bounce takes it away from him.

[Argylehibby]

It was shown on sportscene as suggested above. in the same incident the commentator says that Doidge is looking for a penalty there yet no forensic analysis during or after the highlights. Not sure if Beeb can only show what Sky gives them or if they have their own cameras there too but when you get a replay of just about everything else why not that when the commentators called it out?

[PeeJay]

Thought Nisbett looked really sharp and dangerous when he had his few opportunities - he also worked hard helping the team out in defence - strikers will always miss a few so-called "sitters": it happens - he did a lot of good on the park that impressed, good signing for us.

I think the one your referring too was his shot that he hit early which dragged wide, decent enough effort and would probably have caught the keeper out with how quick he took it. I don’t remember seeing it on sportscene.

[Phil MaGlass]

I thought he was immense yesterday.

Surely a pen on doidge, red card for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity

[number9dream]

Quite how the OP has not seen the chance on the Sportscene highlights is maybe more mystifying than Nisbet not scoring an open goal from a few yards out.
In real time, it looked like an astonishing miss as the ball popped up for him but replays showed it was just a fraction behind him. If we hadn't equalised, there might be more scrutiny since he really should be tucking it away from there.
Post-match on the radio, Doidge didn't seem too bothered about his penalty claim, saying he wasn't really sure what was going on in the scramble, while Jack Ross had forgotten the incident entirely!

Nisbet did look impressive overall, with some lovely touches and a good work rate.

Aye, ok, ok, it was on the highlights. I hereby humbly apologise to Sportscene for the outrageous suggestion that their coverage might be pants.

In my defence, I didn't associate what I saw with some of the comments on the match which made it sound like a horrific open goal type miss.

Plus, I'd had a couple. Plus I'm old. So b*gger off, the lot of you....

[hfc-1875]

Don’t know what people are seeing there, that’s an absolute sitter. The balls not behind him he just jumps over the ball basically and misses it completely. Played brilliant yesterday nonetheless.

I reckon that when they get back to training, on a scale from "it was a difficult one to take" to "what a sitter", he'll be getting absolute pelters.

[500miles]

The balls on him too quickly for him to adjust his body.

I'm with you on that one. Finding it a bit bizarre that people are saying it fell behind him (McCoist says it in the commentary) . He's running in and the ball is coming right at him. I've watched it a good few times. Nisbet has a fresh air swipe with the left, he's around six yards out when the goalie palms it up right at him. He'll be very disappointed not to have put that away, absolute open goal.

[04Sauzee]

Watched it so many times and it's not a sitter

Wasn’t a miss, was a great turn and strike on target. Mcglauhhlin pulled off a great save. Didn’t see highlights, very surprised if it wasn’t there.
