In neighborhood shacks from some time ago it was the most normal thing in the world to decide with a rock, paper and scissors who would take the last penalty or a free kick. Of course, seeing it at a professional level and currently is a rarity, but it does happen and the match between St Johnstone and Celtic of Scotland allowed us to see that memorable scene, although later the collection was very poor.
The players Cammy MacPherson (24 years old) and Graham Carey (33 years old) from St Johnstone could not agree to see who would charge, after a foul in front of the Celtic area, they immediately began to play rock, paper and scissors and cameras caught them. MacPherson won, but truth be told, he would have let Carey finish off.
From MacPherson’s lousy shot to the barrier better not to mention. What we are left with is that curious image of these two footballers deciding in the best style of the neighborhood: the one who wins two out of three leaves the ball and that’s how it was.
The result of the match was like the execution of the free kick itself: Celtic thrashed 4-1.
