ErsatzThistle Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Timewasting thread of the day. Doon the years, which of our keepers have saved from penalty kicks ? Two that I know of were: 2002 vs Portugal - Figo. Saved by Rab Douglas. 2008 vs Northern Ireland - Healy. Saved by Alan McGregor. Anymore from down the years where our keeper saved one*. *Doesn't count if it hit the post, went wide or over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive journey and stay back then. Imagine getting so wasted that you supported the wrong fkin team! What an arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat in front of this auld guy at Hampden when we played the Netherlands in 2009. For some reason he was under the impression that Barry Ferguson and Steven Pressley were on the pitch the entire gameĀ Ā No one had the heart to tell him.

May well have done ; but i was on a bit of a āsabbaticalā mid 90s and might only catch a game on sky or whatever that was his second spell with the dons ; suppose i was thinking the iceland save really stood out as i had never seen him making a penalty save to date lucky he had his contacts in that day....

Ā Maybe we should have a "Complete Roasters at the Fitba" thread?Ā Might start one later. Be my guest though if you think it's worth it.

Sober version of that was in directors box at pittodrie v livingston ( red tops) v dons ( white kits ) early 2000s ; one of the guys ( obviously not a fitba man ) was bemoaning the fact the the āRedsā were not attacking that much ; ācome on you Redsā he would say ; without really clueing in for a good bit if time - think the first goal clarified - steve tosh was playing then directors box still term used for corporate hospitality boxes i hope Ā Edited November 11, 2019 by Auchinyell Sox Change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
