Utterly amazing penalty misses

Probably deserves a thread

Bersant Celina for Swansea 13 March 2019

I'm not really sure how he did it. I think he slipped and his slipping foot kicked the ball first.

I don't know what Chris Brunt said to him afterwards but it looks like he's laughing.

Bloody hell, that's second only to Peter Devine, a miss so famous he managed to get a Wikipedia page despite playing at too low a level:

[Sporting]

Hugo Sánchez miles wide back in the early 90s (scroll through to about 4´40"):

I think Celina was trying a Panenka dink and it went badly wrong.

[Etienne]

Diana Ross.

[Giggler]

Beckham versus Turkey.

[Hot Orange]

I think Celina was trying a Panenka dink and it went badly wrong.

Nah, I think he was trying a Cruyff-Olsen one-two but the other fella forgot.

[3 Colours Red]

Nah, I think he was trying a Cruyff-Olsen one-two but the other fella forgot.

Can I posit the theory that he attempted a rabona?

[Etienne]

The Sanchez one is incredible.

With added Jesus Gil being interviewed in real time!

[Nocturnal Submission]

Pat Nevin. A cleverly disguised back-pass that was so softly struck that the keeper had to try to slow his fall onto the ball:

[multipleman78]

Jason Cummings forgetting he is Jason Cummings and attempting a Panenka at Hampden for Hibs.

[Hot Orange]

I'm still rueful about Mark Brennan's penalty for Ipswich in a top-of-the-table game with Derby in 1986-87 (20 seconds into this clip).

I'm a huge fan of Jeff Whitley's dire penalty in the play-off semi shootout v Palace in 2004. Manager Mick's reaction...

I was annoyed that penalty has been described as a Panenka when he doesn't chip it. It's just a soft penalty down the middle.

Too low a level? Peter Devine was a lynchpin of Bristol City's successes in the early 1980s, I'll have you know.

[Jah Womble]

Gary Lineker vs Brazil in 1992 - which I think would've brought him level with Bobby Charlton on England goals. (Nobody cared, since the assumption was that he'd bag a hatful at the Euros...)
