Getting sick of this "it wasn't a bad penalty"

[Marshy]

I don't care if it wasn't a bad penalty, it wasn't a good penalty either.

For someone who is meant to be a good player, average penalties are not on, and this has cost us a potential 2 points. And that we can't afford at the moment.

Strangely enough, I knew he was going to miss, as his shooting has been wayward most of this season and the last.

Cool story bro

well, it's blue and white, so why not?

[MattyRangers]

If you don't vote it's a bad pen - simple as. No professional footballer should miss a free shot at goal from 12 yards.

Well I wanted BZ to take it and when I saw Adel was going to take it, I too knew it wasn't going in. I thought he was going to try something fancy like a chip or something. But he didn't and gave it a good shot.
That's what I'm saying that any other day it would have gone in, but not today.

I am sure BZ wasnt on the pitch then.

so we missed a penalty, one of those things that go against you when at the bottom, move on to the next game, not worth griping.

He was. He'd just been put on.

I wanted Bobby on it too. Used to take them at Fulham and Brighton and has decent return from memory.

For me when your desperate for a goal that pen today should have gone low and as hard as you can hit it right down the middle play the percentages. Missed opportunity

[silvercue]

they miss occassionaly. It was a good save. We are all gutted it didn;t go in, but I still think he was our main threat.

[stanistheman]

It was a telegraphed penalty. I was behind the goal and guessed where it was heading. If you are going to make it that easy for the keeper to know where you are kicking the ball, it has to be hit a lot harder and in the corner.

I agree that perhaps Zamora should have taken it, but we all know that Taarabt appears to have the right to take every set piece, if he wants to (not that he is good at them though).

5 to 2 on a saturday after a 12:45 kick off and "you're sick of it".........that's less than 30 minutes after the game finished. Where the hell were you? Surrounded by people going "cracking penalty that", "unluck Adel". How on earth can you be sick of it so soon after the game?
