I’m still in shock Stevenson took a penalty

Me too!

My own feelings on penalty shoot outs is that it comes down so much to the goalkeeper.

There seems to be two types of goalkeepers. Those who try to distract the taker as much as possible and who also react to the takers penalty. These types of goalkeepers also throw themselves in the direction they ultimately go.

The other type seems to have a side in their mind and then go that way regardless. Not only that but it sometimes even looks half hearted when they just drop to one side.

I am extremely pleased with both Rocky and Bogdan, but unfortunately neither seem to be the type of goalkeeper that relishes facing a penalty kick. I’ve said on here before that it’s always likely that we will have to win a penalty shoot out in order to lift a trophy. I therefore find it a bit of a worry.

Obviously took his captain role seriously and led by example.

Tell you what I found strange about the penalties, the fact that Oli Shaw wasn't one of the first 5 to take one.

Strikers don't automatically take penalties. Had Milligan been on the park he would no doubt have been in the first 5 as the regular penalty taker at his previous club.

Tommy McIntyre took our penalties even though Keith Wright was in the team.

The fact that Shaw wasn't in the 5 is maybe interesting but not all that strange.

What was strange was my bowel reaction when I saw Lewis stepping up.

Did anyone else think that Joe Lewis much favoured diving to his right than his left?

After growing up with the idea that Hibs were invincible at penalty shoot outs it's hard to stomach the recent *****ness outside of the UTD semi final.

Was the stat not that we’d never lost a competitive shootout since the 70s until the Hamilton play-off? I think we’ve maybe only one since?

Lost three on the bounce now at ER . Still undefeated away from home in Scotland at penalties tho 😜

[Billy Whizz]

Just brave enough to watch last nights highlights package on HIbs TV
Shinnie shouldn’t even have been on the park to take one
Cynical challenge on Agyepong late on in extra time. Maybe the ref thought it was too late to send him off, but as he took and scored thwe 1st penalty, his wrong decision cost us

Wow. That means I'm one of a very special group of people who has seen every domestic shootout we've lost.

Only seen us win the one.

You're 27 and not special.
Get to your bed now and give it time.

Took penalties for the Development side well?

Well agree to disagree. The “penalties are a lottery” chat to me suggests each team has an equal chance of winning regardless of who plays for them. Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero, Hazard and Lewandowski with De Gea in goals would beat Edinburgh City on pens probably every single time. Therefore to me, it’s not a lottery, certainly not in the ‘toss of a coin, 50/50’ way its suggested a lot of the time.

My point isn’t really anything to do with Hibs last night btw, it’s just always a statement that’s irked me

Messi is a terrible penalty taker.

It shows the measure of the man. He's a left back with single figure goals in his career and IIRC has never taken a penalty in a match before but lead by example as captain and slotted it home brilliantly.

You think that McGinn and McGeouch are hard players to replace, Lewis is a one in a billion type player.

I'm in the West near the south. Re the Mallan pen lewis was on the six yard line when he saved it. Well off his line at the time of contact. I see bogdan complaining about it in the Scotsman and he's right.

Completely agree.

I just found it funny because in the cup final dvd he says he’s the last one to volunteer for penalties then he rocks up 4th on Wednesday!

Maybe the rest of them bottled it

I think you might be slightly exaggerating about him being on the six yard line

That’s true. We can swap him for Neymar.
