talkSPORT newsreader Ian Abrahams has once again failed to turn up for his penalty shootout tonight.

The burly presenter, known as "The Moose", was initially due to take up the challenge of penalty kicks after ridiculing players who missed them during matches.

He and the Western Gazette's Yeovil Town correspondent Chris Sweet were due to face Town's goalkeeper coach Ben Roberts in a special challenge. Abrahams had previously declared himself "baffled" at professional footballers missing spot-kicks.

The special showdown was initially due to be held prior to the Southend United match however the poultry-infected presenter cried off using the excuse of meteorological unknowns" as his reason for non-attendance.

He has now also pulled out of tonight's event claiming he has to cover the Portsmouth v Aston Villa Carling Cup quarter final instead.

It remains to be seen whether the chicken,er, moose will turn up later in the season as promised.
