Chris Iwelumo debut for Scotland

[¡Cereal Killer!]

1626: "I am shocked. I am absolutely shocked."
BBC 5 Live analyst Pat Nevin

1625: Just to add. Iwelumo and his team-mates stood still for several seconds, struggling to believe how the ball did not go into the back of the net. The Scotland crowd briefly cheered what they thought would be a certain goal, then fell silent, then started booing. It's one of the worst misses I have ever seen.

1624: Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. That is a SHOCKING miss. Gary Naysmith plays the ball in from the left and debutant Chris Iwelumo misses from TWO YARDS OUT!

1614: Boos around Hampden Park as George Burley opts to take off James McFadden, replacing him with Chris Iwelumo. The Birmingham striker doesn't look too happy either - giving Burley a right old earful. The second change sees Steven Fletcher coming on for James Morrison. Norway introduce Daniel Braaten for Bjorn Helge Riise.

Shocking miss, it was harder to miss than score

 

[Knightsworld]

4 yards out, puts it 10 yards wide

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

And Iwelumo must score

Agent Iwelumo...making England proud

he's always been partial tp a bit of clumsyness in the opposing box...not complaining though...got us promoted 4 and a bit years back

It's an absoute howler but that could have been anyone. Shame on his debut though.

It's a brilliant miss but it does happen to everyone. As you say it's a shame it's his debut. Hope it doesn't affect him too much.

Unbelievable fuckwittery.

The problem for me is that I have to now go into work on Monday, having told everyone there that Iwelumo should be given his chance, and not get my balls ripped off. Especially, of course, given the fact I will be going in with a smug grin with '5-1' written all over it. Ahem.

Not bad for a player who wasnt good enough for championship football tho.

He appears to be now, though - he is currently 3rd in the scorers table in the Championship, after all.

Maybe he should have gone to Specsavers.
