jagfox Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I'm pretty sure Higgy can't take penalties for Thistle if he's playing for Kelty....hth! Kevin Nisbet has scored a few penalties for Hibs this season. I'm still struggling to get the point of this thread tbqhwy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 We have had issues with penalties going back as far as I can remember. Celtic park in the League Cup earlier in the century (2003/4?) we had three chances to put Celtic out but missed them all. Cowdenbeath in the cup 92/93 we ended up getting beat but Don McVicar (RIP) had a penalty saved them broke the keeper's arm going in for the rebound. It was maybe inconsequential but Conor Sammon's half-arsed effort Vs Livingston in the Premiership relegation/ promotion play-off 2nd leg still grinds a few gears . We didn't get one (in the league) for years when we were up in the Premiership. Then we got one when Mathias Pogba was felled vs Celtic and Stuart Bannigan tucked it away. Did I make that last one up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael m Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 On a similar theme - if my memory is correct Jered Stirling never missed one for us and I’m convinced no goalie even got a touch on any of them. AFK might confirm the number of successful kicks - I think it might have been 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No record of anyone with 100% conversion rate taking more than 13 so he is the all-time record holder. Jimmy Davidson took most for Thistle (34) and converted 29 of them (85%).

Yes, I do remember Jered Stirling. Being awarded a penalty when he was playing for us was as good as a goal. Never in doubt. I think that Jered also scored a free kick against his half namesakes Stirling Albion in a 9 man fightback from 2 goals down. Did he ever score for us from open play? Strangely, I also have memory of Jimmy Boyle (was that his name-certainly an ex-Airdrie signing of John McVeigh) scoring a penalty (or possibly a rebound from his own penalty) against St Mirren in another 2 goal fightback (a common story in that Save the Jags period). So why was Jered not taking that penalty? Injured? Dropped? Substituted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why was Jered not taking that penalty? Injured? Dropped? Substituted? PS Partly answering my own question. Archive tells me that these 2-2 draws were in successive weeks and scorers were 1) Stirling & Boyle and 2) Archie & Boyle. The same day in the year (ie 13th December 1997) section in the archive tells me that Boyle missed a penalty against Raith Rovers a few weeks later. Not sure what happened to Stirling. He had certainly returned to the team and scoring penalties later in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyle took the late penalty which was saved but Boyle managed to knock in the rebound. Makes you wonder why Stirling didn't take the penalty if he was so good at them. Possibly subbed by that stage.

Aaah. I knew there was a reason that I exempt Paul Ritchie from the list of absolutely useless or past-it wrecks that Thistle have signed this century (see Jim Hamilton, Paul Keenan, Steve Lovell, Steven McConalogue etc etc).

CotterJag Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 My favourite penalty kick was by Chic Charnley v Meadowbank Thistle at the Commonwealth Stadium. Terrible game but we won 1-0 from a pen that Chic took with the outside of his foot. Pretty sure that's how it went in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Stirling scored 17 goals - 13 of them pens. 15/11/97 Stirling Albion 2-2. He was sub'd 81 minutes. Boyle's goal was 89 mins. 22/11/97 St Mirren 2-2. He was sub'd after 50 mins. Pen was 90 mins. That was the game St Mirren fans taunted us we were going bust.

Actually think that could've been the 62-63 season. Not meaning to be pernickety. It's just the first penalty I can mind seeing live was Eric Caldow's v England (Hampden '62). Taking a penalty with over 130000 watching must be some experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
