Artur Boruc beaten from 45 yards
Yesterday Scottish Premier League leaders Celtic visited Hibernian, and were duly handed a 2-0 schooling. John Rankin’s goal came courtesy of a hideous error from Hoops keeper Artur Boruc, who appeared to momentarily lose all sense of hand-eye coordination.
Even Heurelho Gomes would be ashamed of that one.

Bravery/ stupidity immortalised on YouTube
Colombian scorpion kick specialist Rene ‘El Loco’ Higuita is known for his brave advances up the field, but not every shot stopper can pull it off. This poor soul, playing for Gama in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B will probably stay glued to his line for the next few games.

Czechs crash out due to keeper’s temporary rubbishness
Thoroughly dependable shot stopper Petr Cech momentarily experienced a condition known as ‘Paul Robinson-itis’ last night, as he gifted Turkey a victory and a place in the quarter-finals.
The Chelsea keeper was man enough to take full blame for the defeat, and Chelsea Pies are even suggesting the blunder was a good thing, as scouts from the likes of Inter Milan will have been scared off.
Cech’s mistake wasn’t the only example of ‘interesting’ goalkeeping this weekend - did anyone notice Edwin van der Saar’s volleyball-style wrist punch thing he did on Friday night?
