He may have missed, but he managed to put it over the bar, which is a ridiculous skill, he can make a career in the circus if/when his footballing career goes to shit.

He plays for Morton and you used the term if/when his footballing career goes to shit ?

:lol: This thread has reached a new high

From the commentary feed

To be fair if he tried the to take the penalty with his head then I'm not surprised he missed.

I agree. This thread has indeed reached a new high. So much so that the thread title should see Gavin Berry deleted and replaced with BBC. The fictional penalty at Somerset is truly bizarre.

The BBC match report from the Highland Derby yesterday is laughable. It wasn't an own goal, and the last two paragraphs talk about County being very lucky to get away with a penalty shout which was never even close to being a foul, let alone contact being made.

Gordon Waddell does a piece in The Sunday Mail on the meaning of "perspective" about today's rangers v sellick game. He could also quite as easily have done the same with "irony" as his paper, along with most others in Scotland, have built this game up to be almost warfare. Indeed The Mail features a (mock-up) picture of the captains of both teams wearing American Grid-Iron type protective helmets. Ever since the draw for the Semi-finals was made, the Scottish media has hyped this game up well above it's standing in British never mind World Football, and stoked the fire of rivalry aimed at the lowest common section of both clubs' support, and not necessarily the minority. They have paraded more than a team of ex-players to talk about explosive meetings in the past, leaving aside that this arguably the first actual meeting of these clubs, shown pictures of player's punch-ups, a referee with a cut head from a thrown coin and inferred that the losers will be treated like lepers in society. Of course if, or more likely when, trouble does kick-off amongst the players, or specators, or on the streets, the media will be amongst the first to condemn the behaviour while bringing us a gallery of pictures to illustrate the mayhem, all the while conveniently forgetting that the were partly responsible for building up the tension in the first place. The Media, ex-players and managers constantly trot out that meetings of these Clubs is good for all of Scottish football without ever giving a reason why it is so vital. Certainly the back-lash that normally follows will show Scottish football in anything but good light.

BBC Sport website proudly announces that the Scottish Cup quarterfinal draw sees 3 Premier teams ( correct) 4 Championship teams (2 in a row correct) going into the hat....but Spartans and ARBROATH have to replay first. Mind you the poor souls probably cannot get their heads round Berwick, being in Englandshire, having a team in the competition
