Missing a penalty then scoring the rebound

[TN8]

Is it just me or is this happening more and more in football these days? See Ward-Prowse has done it tonight for England.

I remember as a kid watching the Rangers Gold video and always looked out for McCoist doing it v them in the League Cup Final when Bonner saved the first attempt - and always remember thinking how rare it must be as it was one of the only times I'd seen it.

Is something changing in the way players are taking them or keepers are diving for them?

I think players are more aware and looking for the rebound

Probably because coaches are looking at the missed penalty stats

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Keepers and statisticians providing them with the data on how that player takes penalties will allow for a much greater understanding of where the player is probably going to hit it, but it could still be nearly perfect and hit with a lot of power at an immediate guess.

Remember a few years ago FIFA were rumoured to be abolishing the rebound and any penalty that wasn't scored (for whatever reason) was an automatic goal kick to the defending team.

It was possibly the shittest idea ever.

With keepers being more rigorously checked for coming off their line, there are likely to be more rebounds converted.

First one that springs to mind is Makelele doing it for Chelsea. Last game of the season, title party and Makelele obviously hadn’t scored all season, Chelsea get a penalty in the last minute and the other players insist he take it because of how instrumental he’d been to the title success.

He hits an absolute shanner but thankfully followed up with the rebound to win 1-0

Edu scored after a miss, think it was Jelavic up at Inverness

 

[Spudgun]

I’m sure Arfield scored a rebound penalty for us last season?

Absolutely this

Hamilton away in the cup, early 2020. He scored a screamer late on too. Alfie got a header and I think Aribo the other, won 4-1

The first thing that goes through a penalty takers head is the stats. Which way the keeper dives normally.

Cowdenbeath's goal in the Scottish Cup against us in 2019 came from a missed penalty, another player put it away though.

 

[the_ref]

there was also the one at Parkhead in the 80s, Woods saved from Fingers Miller, but left him with a sitter, which he easily tucked away.

Sorry, I mean he skied it right over the open goal, the wee shite :-D Maybe some laser pointers in his eyes?

Thats the one that instantly came to me

Willie Johnston scored two penalties at Muirton Park before netting from the rebound to complete his hat-trick in the early 70’s.

That was the one that sprung to mind for me.
Johnston had come off the bench that game (for Fyfe).

In the Rangers end that day, I'm sure it was a Sunday.
The beggars end of the enclosure was pretty sparse too.
By the time their roar reached us, Super stuck the rebound away.
