Buffalo Bill Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I don't know, but I remember he missed on v Dundee in October or November 1987 which denied him a five minute hatrick (and he never scored one in the league for Hearts). I also rememeber being at Parkhead in 1991 (Oct?) when he missed one at a crucial point in the match. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Winstone Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 He missed against Raith at starks park - I think it was 96/97 but scored the rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 He missed against Raith at starks park - I think it was 96/97 but scored the rebound. He missed one in a 2-2 draw at Pittodrie I think too, circa 89/90 but Crabbe (or Iain Ferguson) scored the rebound. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Robbo scored 61 pens according to London Hearts but I couldn't find any records of missed penalties, I reckon it was maybe about a dozen or is that too many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imeantasong Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 sure he missed one v motherwell after scoring and getting made to retake Pasquale Bruno encroached and he had to retake.

Deek Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Did he miss a penalty against the Huns in 87? I cant remember, but I do remember he had scored twice, then was yanked to the ground by Graham Roberts, but not sure if we got a penalty or not. PS The Huns won 5-2 but we should have hammered them, dodgy referee and all that. Just checked London Hearts. 29,000 at the game. Those were the days.

Yes, and Hearts two goals had both been Robbo penalties. I remember it being nearly the last minute, the game was lost, up he goes for the penalty hattrick and misses.

Smoked-Glass Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 in about feb 1996 he missed one at home to raith but he got the rebound. Also on a wednesday night against motherwell later that season he scored the pen but it had to be retaken and then he missed. Luckly we went on to win 4-0 that night.

The weege certainly filled up the Gorgie Road end where the terracing was at its tallest. I am not sure what it held, probably about 8,000.

Victorian Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 i can't put a figure on how many he missed but it's definitely a low number. his percentage success rate must rate pretty highly with the best. speaking of which, after robbo we continued to be lucky with pen takers for some time. colin cameron scored just about every pen he took and pressley only missed a couple i think. we don't get penalties very often now, innit? but let's not go there.

Bomber Harris Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Is that our ground or your ground. The weege certainly filled up the Gorgie Road end where the terracing was at its tallest. I am not sure what it held, probably about 8,000. Gorgie Road end was limited to 9600 in those days and only the Old Firm could manage that, they also had fans in the School End (escorted along the track to the Gorgie End pre Hillsbourgh) and also in the South Enclosure. Give or take a few Hearts would almost certainly have around 19/20 k in the ground and obviously less when the capacity got cut again to 27.5 k.

Buffalo Bill Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Scored a hat-trick at hampden in the league Doh: I meant to say Premier League. I think he got a one in Scottish Cup v St Mirren in 1992. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 There was a League Cup game at Tynecastle in the late eighties where we lost to Celtic on penalties when we really should have beaten them during normal/extra time...I think Robbo missed a penalty that night but can't remember if it was during regulation time or in the shoot-out ?
