This could have just been one in a long list of examples of how not to take a penalty if you’re going to be smug and put it down the middle.
But thanks to Glentoran striker Kyle Neill’s shoddy attempt at trying a dainty Fat Ronaldo-esque side foot on the rebound, instead of lashing it as any good Irish league player should, it becomes a good example of how to a make an absolute fool of yourself twice over. Excuse the (understandably) colourful language right at the end.
A big pat on the back for The Spoiler and its astute readers - yesterday we told you that Manchester United would not win in Spain and 60 per cent of you voted that Messi would have a better game than C-Ron. But if Ronaldo had got the game going by actually placing the ball within the huge netted area when he took his spot kick, things could have been oh so different.
Isn’t it strange how the Liverpool/ Chelsea match turned out to be the exciting one, despite having ‘DULL’ written all over it. It’s likes we’re in topsy-turvy land, where hot snow falls up and hamburgers eat people etc.
