We thought about going there this year. I don't  mind earthquakes, or any other natural disaster, but f**k getting stuck with Roughie for a fortnight.

Roughie's a good lad. 

True story - mind when Scotland had that big ‘send off party’ at Hampden before Argentina ‘78? Me and my mate were on the train from Johnstone to Glasgow Central, and Roughie was on the train, armed with two big sports bags, heading to Hampden. We carried his bags for him from the train to a taxi outside Central Station, accompanied by multiple cries of ‘Gaun yer’sel’ Roughie!’ etc, as we walked across the concourse of the station.

If we had kidnapped him, rather than help him with his bags, we could have changed the course of football history.

It's Roughie in goal for Scotland.  Of course the ball is in the net.

Right, I'm slightly confused here,  That certainly looks like his flat footed reaction to one of the Peru goals - not the free kick, the other second half goal from outside the box.

However, no matter how I look at that photo, the ball appears to not be in the net, but on the outside of it.

Am I going mad here?

Having a look at the Peru match (fucking painful btw) that image isn't from any of the goals.  Roughie was not on the line at any of them.

Also meant to add, yeh that definitely looks the 'wrong' side of the net.

their third goal was a free-kick so he would have been on the line for that one. But looks like their second one to me but a) as you say he is too close to the line for that and b) as MK says, the ball looks outside the net. 

I don't think it is from the Iran game and Rough had a blue jersey for the Holland game. 

Wish I hadn't posted it now in my throwaway attempt to get a cheap Rough compo face laugh. Am gonna spend the afternoon trying to get the bottom of this.....

You're right.  I thought it was definitely the second Peru goal, but Rough is about five yards out when it hits the net in that case.  Here, he's behind the goal line. 

It must be a forgotten incident that saw the ball drop over the bar, or bounce back from an advertising board.

From the Heil, multiple compo face action. 

Furious parents slam council for putting up 2ft 6ins 'eyesore' bollards overnight to stop them 'driving on the pavement to drop off children' - after just one person complained

But my favourite from this story is the quote that goes with this one.

Quote

Father Richard Munkley, pictured with son Logan, said: 'I am just glad they do not directly affect me because I don't live here.'

And he doesn't look anything like a man of the cloth.
