Also some of the players we had lost to injury and cramp would have been penalty takers . So trying to be rational my expectations were not high. Absolutely The guys we had left at the end, only mcgrath had any sort of technique Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 All irrelevant anyway. At any point had we been at the stage where we would have been going through from scoring a final penalty it would have had to be retaken until it was missed/saved anyway. Would have been far better had we won the toss to take first penalty. As it was we were always playing catch up Link to comment

He’s the reason we won? Link to comment
davierobb Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 What I meant to say is my own personal level of expectation with Roos in goal was near zero. In 2014 Lagfield I had seen have some fantastic games and I did feel we had a chance. Dont remember many games where Langfield did not make a mistake but they did not always cost us. I did not expect players at Celtic to be as affected by the pressure as the Caley players were that day. Link to comment

Better comparison was the Lewis Sinclair one referenced earlier (and admittedly in real time, not a shoot out). Lewis was huge, a real presence. You were as confident as you could be that he'd save it. Link to comment

McGrath, Sokler, and Duncan's penalties beat Hart all ends up because of their guile and technique. Link to comment

You're using, as an example to combat my bemoaning the lack of technique available, a guy who missed his penalty? 1 Link to comment
