The thing is, since Beckford left, we actually have a chance of scoring penalties now. Spurs aside (when I felt for sure he'd miss!), his record from the spot was pretty woeful wasn't it? Whats our success/failure rate this season?
The only time I think there should be any debate over a penalty is if the game is already won (i.e. two or three goal gap) and someone is on a hat-trick. Otherwise I agree, we should have a penalty taker set by the gaffer beforehand. On 8 November 2010 13:13, Robert Heath <[email protected]> wrote: > Gradel and > Howson combined to win a penalty.
