Anyone that’s seen Jota’s Rabona cross from Saturday can do nothing but be amazed at the skill and technique it takes to pull off such a move.
Not only that, to try it in front of a packed stadium as the game is being covered live by satellite television not only takes incredible courage, it also takes balls.
And Jota has them, and more! If you haven’t seen it, here it is below:

Even as I watched him do it in real time on Saturday, I was left stunned the he not only attempted it, but pulled it off and almost helped the Hoops take the lead.
And the pundits on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard certainly enjoyed it.
As host, Gordon Duncan, described the move on live radio, the whole panel team, including Alex Rae and Hugh Keevins just could not believed what they witnessed.
Alex Rae’s reaction was priceless as he said, “Oh my days! Do you know what the thing is? I don’t even know what that is! That’s something I’ve not got my locker!”
Hugh Keevins was as simple but stunned, “Oh dear me!”
But one pundit criticised the move and I’ll not give it away.
The pundit in question said, “I’m going to be a bit harsh on him, I thought he should have a shot when that came over. I think he should have had a shot. It was exceptional skill though.”
Listen below to find out who the pundit was. It may surprise you!
Wilson tame, Rae vicious, Dalziel funny, Keevins’ detached. Gordon has had to keep it almost real on several occasions. A tough shift for the compere.
Behave.From that angle it would’ve been Van Basten like
