 Rory`s example
Topic Originator: onandupthepars

Both of Rory`s latest goals have shown remarkable composure. The first - a tap-in he made sure of by taking a touch to set himself right to tap home. At the time it struck me - that touch - and then last night, a different kind of goal but how he got himself set over the ball to keep it down before arrowing it in.

I think these two goals show how, when a player such as Rory recognises they have got time to compose themselves, they think! and apply their best ability to the task. It seems to me the way he set himself to score these two goals could be coached and that gives hope for others that scoring is not always a result of instinct, but can be also the outcome of intelligent craft and ability, of which Rory is a great example these days.

Correct oautp .. I have said the same many times its composure that makes the difference between scoring or not .. I suppose thats what separates the great players from the good players .. COYP

Rory had a chance early in the game at Ayr from a similar position to the one he scored at QP but he fluffed it. Has he leaened from that? Who knows. time will tell. He is an asset though with his pace and strong left foot.

It`s not something I noticed about Rory before, but you could be right Wee Eck, if he missed one at Ayr he`s deliberately giving it extra concentration and attention to detail. Let`s hope for consistency. It`ll be interesting to see if it`s a new level he`s got to, Busspar.

Watching the Stenny goaljeepers podcast and his camera view in the goals it looked like McLeod`s shot went through the defenders legs and caught the keeper out.
