00:00I don't really think a lot about them. I just get them in my head, pick a side and just go for it.
00:07So if I go the right way, I go the right way. If I don't, I don't.
00:09But yeah, I don't think the timing of the game really matters. A penalty is a penalty.
00:14It's not going to change much. So it's just about staying composed, staying calm and trying to get something for the team.
00:19After a few that I didn't save, I was kind of like, wait, I must be due one now.
00:24But as it went on, you're like, well, hopefully this one's the last one.
00:28And then it goes again and again and again. So yeah, I'll take five any day of the week.
00:34Well, you scored one as well. If you'd saved the one before, then you would have scored the winning kick.
00:38So that would have been taking the drama a wee bit too much, would it have?
00:42Definitely. I've never took one before in a competition setting, so I wasn't the most confident.
00:48But as I say, just pick a spot and stick to it.
00:51So tell me your history of saving penalties for Kilmarnock.
00:55It's been pretty decent. I saved three and I shot out for the Rezzies last season.
01:02And then I've had the odd ones here and there for the U18s, Rezzies, games like that.
01:07Just three?
01:08Just the three, yeah. You see the way the boys react when you get in the changing room, what the gaffer has to say.
01:13It really lifts you up. I've only been up here a number of weeks.
01:17So to have the boys support me in that way and trust me as well, it means everything.
