Don Givens penalty miss poser

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Sorry to open this old wound. I need a debate settling please !

Did he miss at the Bramall Lane end (my recollection) or the Kop ?

Thanks

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Bramall Lane end

 

[Tyler Durden]

Bramall Lane end I think. Don't trust my word though, I wasn't born until 85.

 

[Plan B]

My memory of it is that it was the Kop end & he shot wide of the right hand post. My memory might be wrong though!

Kop...still blame John Matthews more for bottling it. Really needed Tony Kenworrthy on the pitch that day....was he injured or suspended?

 

[Rusty]

It was on target...when it eventually arrived there such was the (non) ferocity of the strike!

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Kop end slightly wide of the centre of the goal if I remember rightly. I have a story about Don Givens and that penalty which some long - standing posters will be aware of.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Almost certain it was the kop.
Only time I've cried at a football match.
I was only 38 though.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Is that Matthews ponce still alive? I hope he's still getting dogshit through the letterbox.

Kop

kop end.

don penn for them blasted down the middle i recall

dont think mathews pen had the power to cross the goaline.

que carnage on the pitch, and there player alan buckley crapping himself as the kop descended on him whilst he was celebrating with there fans at final whistle

 

[TBW57]

Here's the Walsall side with Ron Green, the goalkeeper who saved the fateful penalty, fourth from left next to Ricky Sbragia. Walsall's scorer Don Penn is on the right of the front row.

Sorry.

After his miss we all charged over to the Lane end. Police horses on the pitch, batons out, it was like fucking Orgreave out there.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Cheers I was wrong then!

Normally long term is the one that diet let me down !!

Humble pie time !!

 

[Grecian2000]

Yep, Kop end.

No idea what happened to it. Didn't watch it, I was still sat down trying to digest that they'd just scored from their own penalty.
Anyway, thanks for that, put me in a fine mood for tonight's match!

 

[Blade56]

Deffo you don't forget things like that, seared on my brain

Apologies but needed resolving before tomorrow.

i wonder what went thru alan buckleys mind when he turned round, laugh about it now but at the time it was the worst feelin ever

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Kop End.
I remember the photo that accompanied the write-up in The Green Un. The look of sheer horror on Martin Peters' face as Givens missed that pen is etched into my brain.

Where is that 'Not Like' button.

Correct. Thought it was the worst day in my life as a fan, but what happened the next season made it seem the best thing that had happened in years.

 

[Isar]

Kop end, I was there. It took a while for it sink in, seemed surreal.

 

[LE3blade]

spoke to a walsall fan not so long back who was also there that fateful day, he and his mates claimed that was the only day he has ever feared for his life at a football match
said he felt like it was something like the alamo

 

[Sean Thornton]

Is that Matthews ponce still alive? I hope he's still getting dogshit through the letterbox.

He is.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Kop,to the goalie's right,the ball trickled along the floor,you could have blown it harder.

 

[LE3blade]

He is.

is that a he is to being alive

or he is as to getting dog shit thru his letterbox?

Couldn't find any dog shit the other day so posted a used condom.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Both.

Are you sending it as well?surely it can't be just me.

I also throw shit in the skip Lee Hendrie now lives in. The wank orange midget twat.
