This can't have happened very often....

Post by Top of the JES »

Pre Season Friendly last week ended Stevenage 5 Braintree Town 1.

Stevenage were awarded Four penalties, most that I can ever remember is a team getting Two in a game. Sure there have been three in a game for one team before now but Four must be very very unusual.

Stevenage only converted two out of the four.

I wasn't aware that Colin West had come out of retirement?

Delving into my very dim and very distant memory, I recall John Wark scoring a hat trick of pens for Liverpool years ago. In fact didn’t our very own Joshua achieve the same feat for gillingham a couple of seasons ago? :?:

Great recall Kokomo, 3 penalties in 9 minutes vs Scunny in 2017. First time a player had scored 3 pens in a game for 60 years.

The Rangers FC were awarded 4 penalties against St Mirren last season. Didn't even raise an eyebrow here where referees are not unknown to give The Rangers FC a wee helping hand when times are tough

Martin Palermo missed three penalties in a Copa America game for Argentina at the end of the 90s or start of the 00s.

I played in a game a few years ago that we lost 7-0 and the other team had 4 penalties, scored 3 and missed 1. The same player gave away all 4 pens 😂

They should have had a 5th pen late on too (same guy again), almost certain the ref didn’t give it as he felt sorry for him
