I'll never pretend to be a professional footballer, or understand what it takes to step up and take a pen.. However..
Is it really too much to ask for ANY professional footballer to be able to pick a side and strike a ball convincingly with power and a fair bit of accuracy? I'm not asking for a Jorginiho-esc stutter run up where he waits for the keeper to move, just kick it hard into one of the fucking corners.

I'm not asking for a Jorginiho-esc stutter run up where he waits for the keeper to move, just kick it hard into one of the fucking corners. To be fair some of the best penalty takes don't do that. They wait for the keeper to go then stroke it in. If a keeper saves it then it can look like a pretty poor penalty. A player who can't get a penalty on target is what infuriates me. Ok it's easy to mis hit a ball, slip etc and it happens. Quite a good few takers today don't necessarily put them too far away from a keeper and have missed the odd one making it look like a terrible penalty. To call that the worst penalty you've ever seen is a ridiculous exaggeration as someone did. Worse than one that balloons over the bar like Bamford? Hardly, was far from great but a good keeper couldn't hold it and thankfully Vidigal reacted quickly. |

Shouldn’t have come to that though. He was so fucking slow. But it did and it was a clear foul, never mind the fact he also was in the box when then penalty was taken. I know it's going over old ground but a dreadful referee. I have no sympathy for the useless fat fuck sorry. |

I just sat there in silence when the ref pointed to the spot. It's just accepted we would miss.

If you do that they go in. No need to elaborate it all with any unnecessary frills. |

I asked my manager who was a professional footballer for about 5 seasons about corners to see if my thought that about 7 from 10 should reach your player and he thought it should be higher than that. |

They're all pressure and because we're doing shite at the moment the pressure is exponentially higher. The grief off the crowd if you miss etc.

That looked a definite peno to me too tbh. Anywhere else on the pitch the ref makes an easy decision. Exactly what I said at the time but I was told that Mmaee had made a meal of it and it was an embarrassing dive 😂 Looked like a big fat dive to me, should have been booked |

Too much fannying around with penalties these days, especially the daft slow run up. Just bloody twat it. I prefer the penalties that are high and top corner…..yes more chance of blazing over, but they just look better to be than lower down ones.

Time for a word from SJW who famously scored 2 own goals and missed a penalty in the same game ( v Chelsea) 2020
Check out recording on radio five live
He goes on to say how he scored more than he missed
“ it happens, just get over it, can’t take it heart” , he took the next penalty awarded to us and scored
Probably practised lots

In the PL era the ones I liked - Higgi and Beattie. That’s about it off the top of my head. Fuller’s were awful. |

He was on overweight fat fuck who couldn’t run. I am in expert in such things so definitely know what I’m on about here. If Adam exercised and dieted properly he would have scored the rebound. |

NO ITS NOT Penalties are pressure shots. You have an age to think and prepare. They are nothing like reacting in a game. General anxiety, fear of missing and crowd reaction will play a huge role. Gotta be a numpty to think otherwise. |

General anxiety, fear of missing and crowd reaction will play a huge role. Gotta be a numpty to think otherwise. They are and there is no pressure from the fans there. We have no expectation. It’s a standard part of football and again if they feel any sort of pressure from the home crowd there they don’t have the mentality needed. |

It also ended a long unbeaten home record at the Brit. |
