Greenwood’s miss

[Caracticus]

Having been lucky/unlucky enough to have witnessed all 3, I would grade them as
3 Fletcher - had to react quickly, speed of thought not his strong point
2 Greenwood- at least we won
1 Currie - I was in the Holgate and cheering goal and couldn’t believe he had failed to hit the target, we went on to lose the game

Liverpool (TAA?) missed a similar one yesterday. It happens. He'll score the next.

Not worse than Billy Ashcrofts sitter against Orient FA cup Quarters

Then for some reason we used the photo of it on the front cover of the programme for the whole of the next season

one my favourite Boro photos love scanning al the reactions in the crowd, was in the Clive road was certain he would score can still remember it clearly after all these years, love the guy by the corner flag and by the pitch all contorted and fans with their hands up to celebrate the inevitable goal lol

Great photo - the guy with his head in his hands next to the goal post in the picture sums it up perfectly

I’ve just remembered Bobby Thompsons penalty

As a TAA owner in fantasy football, that one was MUCH worse

Duncan Whatmore missed a few bless him.

It was a common or garden bad miss. A dozen like it every day. Going in at
speed, keeper rushing out, tries to lift it over him, gets it all wrong.

He tried to smash it home he wasn’t lifting anything but yes it happens.

Sometimes less is more

The keeper was on the other side of the goal

The keeper was on the other side of the goal

Exactly it was past the keeper any touch at all and it was in.

The keeper was on the other side of the goal

He not on other side of the goal but now I’ve seen it again it’s a terrible miss.

I actually thought it was Silvera initially, because I'd remembered him missing some sitters earlier in the season and I shouted "Silvera you useless tw@t"

Had a horrible feeling it was going to come back to haunt us but luckily I was proven wrong.

Silvera has missed one as bad this season

I couldn’t see that

balls...... he thought the keeper was going to smash him and rotated his body to drive the contact which opened his hip up. the rest is history

Ha, great photo. so many with their head in their hands, including Currie. It's kind of a universal gesture. I guess.

There was quite a well known photo of the kop at anfield I think with every fan holding their hands over their heads after someone had missed a sitter. They interviewed some gadge in this article who I assume was an expert in such things who said the reaction comes from when we were monkey type creatures and that we did it to protect our heads from danger. Chimps do the same thing.

It looked horrendous but at full pelt, the ball does bobble just before contact which allows him to get under the ball. It’ll happen most weekends across the leagues.

It was just the wrong contact. Still think he should score with a bit more care and attention, but it’s always easy from the stands or the comfort of your sofa.

Thankfully it didn’t cost us.

 

[Boro Devonport]

I’m happy to be wrong but at the time I thought he was trying to be too cute and want the finish that would blast an inch under the crossbar. The sort of amazing finishing you see from a Sala etc etc. In fact, the same sort of finish he completed against the great delusionals up the road. It’s an easy game though from the stands.

Check out Danny Graham away to Yeovil, shocker

Just prior to the miss we discussed him being subbed and I said that id leave him on as unlike the others when a chance comes to him he'll stick it away. Oops!

Duncan Watmore missed more sitters than any striker I've seen for us (much as I liked him) but he had 2 that were the worst I've ever seen.
