Penalty appeal
The Johnstone’s Paint Trophy game between Leyton Orient and Dagenham & Redbridge should have been played at the new Olympic Stadium really. The demand for tickets would have been high and a lottery could have decided which lucky people could witness this potential cracker.
In the end, it was staged at Brisbane Road in front 1420 punters, who didn’t realise that they had a treat in store when it came to the penalty shoot-out. In the end, the team with the ampersand won 14-13 when the 28th penalty was missed by Leyton Orient’s regular penalty taker, Ben Chorley. All the previous 27 had been scored.
Was it a record? Well, sadly not. A fourth grade Argentinian match ended 20-21 to General Paz Juniors when they beat Juventud Alianza. In that game, the first 41 penalties were converted. More extraordinarily, KK Palace beat Civics 17-16 in the Namibian Cup, but 15 were missed.
The weirdest penalty shoot-out appears to have taken place when the referee made a miscalculation and had awarded a penalty shoot-out win to Harlem Bombers over Zebians. However, the contest was re-started a week later and Zebians ran out winners. .

Yah rubble, man. Hock those spot kicks higher. (FootballCynic writes: In the history of the internet, Mr Google tells us that no more than three people have followed the word "Yah" with the word "rubble". It might be time to shut down FootballCynic.com as age is creeping on the lord and master of this website, but what the hell does this mean? Why would you want a dodgy glass of wine when you are trying to take a penalty. Anyone who can help? As for Rooster Booster, is this a hotter form of Chicken Vindaloo? I think we need Danielle)

Well, of course, it's obvious. Yah means yes. Rubble means trouble. Hock means to sell or throw. Spot kicks are losing teenage spots. All clear? Good. You should get aquainted with Urban Dictionary, Football Cynic

Yoops - I must have looked in the Urbane Dictionary by mistake. I was never any good at German at schoool because I always looked in the Germane Dictionary but I guess that is irrelevant. (FootballCynic writes: FootballCynic's thoughts: Urbane - disagreer, Germane - agreer)
