Trivia question

Ross Ballantyne of Glencairn scored a penalty kick in our last match at Neilston, and then went on to save a penalty kick later in the game when he went in goal after our keeper was red carded.

Has anybody seen any other junior player score a penalty and save a penalty in the same game ? I'm sure Hamish McAlpine will have done it for Dundee United at some stage, but what about in the juniors ? (Penalty shoot-outs don't count, by the way !)

About 25 years ago in a scottish cup tie between Cambuslang & Pollok at somervell, the late Willie Macalaney of Cambuslang scored our equaliser then went in goal after our keeper was sent off. With the score at 3-1 for Cambuslang , Pollok were awarded a penalty which Macalaney saved but was ordered to be retaken as he'd moved before it was taken. The subsequent retake was blazed over the bar from the pollok player.

Does that count? lol

In 1942 ... the immortal Willie McClumphie ( god rest his soul ) scored a first half penalty hat trick ( one right foot, one left and another with his head ) for Linnvale Lily in the Victory Cup then had to go in goal for the second half ... due to a bad case of miners scuff. With the last kick of the ball he secured a famous win for the Livers after diving at the feet of the opposition half back following up a penalty that had struck the stantion of the ( square sided ) woodwork. Lily winning a thriller by the odd goal in 13 in front of a disappointing 8709.

In the afternoon he performed the same feat for Parkhall Primrose in the final of the Coronation Plinth ... having worked a lunchtime shift on the Hood ( or Bizmark). A youthful Scott Robertson having given special dispensation to the transfer on the grounds that there was a war on.

Is this a record ?

Jim Marner our goalkeeper during our halcyon days was the penalty taker & once scored a hat trick of pens at Bellsdale

Assuming he would have scored a pen & saved a few times. Maybe clash can tell us how many times

LADESIDE

Difficult to remember after all this time but sure he did it against Dalry same season as Beith game which had local paper with headline Marner the hero at both ends.Marner scoring a goal was no big deal,he got plenty including 10 the season we won the cup,the guy was capable of scoring more in a game than Michael Moore in a season

When he came up to take the third that day at Beith,he shouted to Beith keeper Mo Dunn a fiver a score,Dunn said yer on,no way you getting three...he thumped it into top corner with outside of the foot,showed three fingers to Dunn and ran back to his goal.Not once did he celebrate a goal,he simply scored and ran back to his goal,it was all about the team for Marner not individuals.

used to have a goalie called Danny Moy who took our penalties and never missed one,am assuming he saved a few too in some games,Danny played for peasy & East.Kilbride dunno if he took pens for them as well ?

Never hit any for us that I can recall, terrific goalie though.

Absolutely nothing to do with penalties but on the subject of trivia, in an away league match at Shettleston almost 4 years ago, we substituted a substitute twice, and on both occasions the substitute just substituted had also just scored a goal.

Shane Jackson had come off the bench to replace the injured Andrew Crossey. Shane scored the opening goal but had to come off injured just after that. His replacement Craig Murphy got the second goal and he too had to come off injured just after his goal.

So we won 2-0 and the two goal scorers never started or finished the game! And the third sub who replaced Murphy could've grabbed a third near the end!
