Incredible that the guy who scored the decisive penalty in 'sudden death' actually missed in the actual 5-penalty shoot out!

Wowsers.......... 25 penalties

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29870677

 

25 scored out of 28.  I'm pretty sure one of the keepers, Reidford, was on trial with us about 5 years ago.

 

I can also recall a Caley v Clach shoot-out in one of the cups that ended up with a similar high score, in the early 80's.

July 2009, beat Brechin 5-0. My liver has just about recovered, I'm sure you were there.

Got me thinking of records so lifted following from Wiki

 

On 20 July 2011, during the 2011 Copa America tournament in Argentina, Brazil missed 4 penalties in a row, which allowed Paraguay to reach the semi-finals 2–0.^{[citation needed]}

The current World Record for the most penalties scored consecutively in a shoot out stands at 29, in a Hampshire Senior Cup 2nd Round game between Brockenhurst and Andover Town on 9 October 2013, in which the 30th penalty was saved allowing Brockenhurst to win 15-14.^[46] This beat the previous record of 27, in a Johnstones Paint Trophy first round match between Leyton Orient F.C. and Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. on 7 September 2011, in which the 28th penalty was saved allowing Dagenham to win the shootout.^{[citation needed]}

During the final of the 1992 African Cup of Nations played in Senegal, Ivory Coast won the penalty shootout by 11:10 with the last penalty missed by Anthony Baffoe the stand in Ghanaian Captain. This is the most penalties in the final match of a major international tournament.^{[citation needed]}

Fourteen years later, the Ivory Coast and Cameroon needed 24 penalties to decide who would advance to the semi-finals of the 2006 African Cup of Nations. The Ivory Coast advanced by winning 12-11 after Samuel Eto'o missed his second attempt, as his was the only miss of the penalty shootout.^{[citation needed]}

The current world record for the longest penalty shoot-out in a first class match is 48 penalties during the 2008-2009 Greek Cup Final when Olympiakos Pireus beat AEK Athens 15-14^[47] However, the record for the highest score in a penalty shoot out was set in the 1988 Argentine Championship, when Argeninos Juniors beat Racing Club 20-19 after 44 penalties.^[48]

On the 11 December 2012, Bradford City set the record for most consecutive penalty shootout wins. They have won 9 penalty shootouts since 2009 and that has included wins against Arsenal and local rivals Huddersfield Town.

Game on...

Dundee v Aberdeen starting the weekend of cup fixtures.

Huge opportunity for a smaller team to go on a run - a 'freak' draw, pairing all the 'top' sides together means there'll be a maximum of 7 Premiership clubs in the last 16.

The draw on Monday is going to be fascinating.

 

• 7 of the top 14 teams in SPFL
• QOS, Hibs, Raith & Falkirk
• 5 teams below Championship level

Home tie against one of the third lot please. Let the rest knock each other out and we'll see what's left in the quarters.

Happy with a draw today.

If you don't lose - you win the Cup!

 

Outstanding result for Spartans! Huge boost for the Lowland League and the Scottish Cup to have a non-league in the last 16....Spartans.

It would be great to win the replay and then get drawn against them - we'd be crossing-swords again after many years and resuming a friendly rivalry.
