true_rover Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yeah and only taken one pen too. Do penalties count less all of a sudden? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Do penalties count less all of a sudden?No, but if you're a penalty taker you're basically guaranteed an extra 5-10 goals a season depending on how many your team gets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Buchanan take one at the start of the season, and Vaughan (who has taken them before) was injured so it defaulted to Nisbet. There's no guarantee you'll get penalties (we went a season and a half before we got one against Stranraer - we then fucking missed it). Ironically, Dumbarton fans warned us of Nisbet's penalty he had before where he blazed it over the bar. Since then he's been excellent with them, and hopefully it continues. Even without his penalties, he's still looking an excellent poacher and, on current form, is the best forward in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I do find that Centre Forwards taking penalties is becoming more of a bugbear of mine as time goes on, it's only done to boost their tallies and really gives a false impression of their legitimacy, Wayne Rooney was always the worst contender for this, he quite undeservedly holds Scoring Records for Club and Country placing himself ahead of others who didn't take them and who have found their records taken off them, was he really a better CF than Lineker, I don't think so!!!Chris Duggan scored 15 goals for us last year but would have had around another 8 if he had taken out penalties!!!Tappy-ins shouldn't count in the final reckoning!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Given our record (or lack of) for receiving and scoring penalties in the previous 2 seasons, I personally think Nisbet’s penalties should count double.

King Kebab Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Lineker took pens for England.He took some, they were in enough shoot-outs for us all to enjoy, but he wasn't the designated taker, in Linker's time it was usually Hoddle, Waddle, Pearce or Beardsley who took them IIRC!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you are serious or on the wind up but I will reply anyway . I find it remarkable that you would think a striker would not want to score a penalty . Surely that is their main objective , to score goals of any kind from open play or indeed penalties ??

Indeed. After the last couple of years of watching us score no more than about 50% of the few penalties we did receive, watching Nisbet confidently tuck the ball away from 12 yards has been quite the novelty this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSDR 88 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Official odds are up on McBookie, with Calum Gallagher and John Baird both looking quite attractive: Rory Loy/Liam Buchanan - 5/1 Dale Carrick/Lewis Vaughan - 6/1 Ryan Thomson (!) - 8/1 Ryan Wallace/Darryl Duffy - 10/1 Calum Gallagher - 14/1 Mark McGuigan - 16/1 John Baird/Andy Jackson - 20/1Was there ever odds on Kevin Nisbet? Too late now for a bet likes, just curious to what he was when the above was released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Was there ever odds on Kevin Nisbet? Too late now for a bet likes, just curious to what he was when the above was released. There probably was odds but with [mention=7586]Ross Forbes [/mention] being a Dumbarton fan, he probably laughed at any odds of Kevin Nisbet scoring double figures never mind finishing as top scorer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Nisbet follows me on Twitter, so he clearly has good taste in online bantz. For that reason alone I'm pleased to see him doing well - shows what happens when a team play to a striker's strengths. 2 hours ago, WSDR 88 said: Was there ever odds on Kevin Nisbet?

I think the names after 20/1 were all 25/1 - whether or not Nisbet was on that list or not I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 So penalties shouldn’t count, also tap ins. What else? Scoring off your arse? Goals a goal FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
