If a player is on for his hat trick, having already scored two goals, even in the Premiership, if the game isn't at a critical stage, the player is often, but not always, given the chance to take the penalty. 

Not my intention to cause controversy over the McCootie hat trick issue. If the match was still on a knife edge at 0-0 then yes let the designated penalty taker take the kick.But we were in a comfortable position at 2-0 and scoring his first hat trick for the team would have really meant a lot to a player like Nick and given him more confidence moving on to the next few games. At the beginning of the season I was one of his biggest critics as he looked unfit and not interested chasingl lost causes as we had got used to with Dave Pratt. Now he looks every bit a top striker and I can now see why Mark signed him.

He didn’t get over it we won.
3points

I was just explaining to blueboo what The Voice meant. 

I didn't go yesterday, so couldn't possibly comment.
 

We are Chippenham Town. We never do things the easy way.  But as soon as the first goal went in I thought we would take the 3 points.  We needed 6 points from two struggling sides.Were half way there.  That would push us right in to the playoff places. Where hopefully we can stay.  McDonald should be back Saturday maybe Tuesday. Finger crossed.  He has been a class act.  Bring on the Oxford Tuesday evening.  Cum on you bluebirds.  Good luck Mark, Horgs and all the lads. 😎

Your spot on Toyboy. Really good to see the young guys in the side.Who was it once said you won’t win nothing with kids. But how wrong can you get. Says a lot for the club and management.  😎
