    Am I alone in hating penalties where players stutter or stop before taking it?

    I'd have no problem with it if our players did it so I could hardly have a problem with it in reverse.

    I have a problem with players being sent off for being the last man. Fine if it's outside the area, but if they're getting a pen then no goal scoring opportunity is being denied. Real nonsense rule.

    I don't like any player doing it even our own. I don't know why it bugs me it just does

    It bugs me, too. But everyone does it so I don't have a real complaint as far as it being unfair or anything. If Tadic likes to take them that way, he should. Same thing with anyone who takes them against us.

    Just as a matter of aesthetics I guess, I find them super-annoying.

    I guess we have just been spoilt by Le Tiss and Lambert showing how it's done

    I was about to make the same point, but now I don't need to!

    I notice Lambert played for Liverpool today and didn't take the penalty they were awarded. The twerp Gerrard promptly stepped up and it was saved by Rob Green [who is a pretty good penalty saver tbf].

    I saw Gerrard interviewed after the game and he admitted he had broken the golden rule of penalty-taking: he changed his mind during the run up. You wouldn't catch Sir Rickie doing that.

    However, Rickie did miss the penalty he took early in the season (or was it preseason).

    My reaction was typical English player taking penalties. Inflexible mind.

    Matty has said on many occasions that he changed his mind all the time. He had one set corner but could change his mind at the last split second. That takes real class.



    And here's a new one to me. Posting it before I've even watched it myself:

    Its fine to stutter or feint a shot in normal play, why not in pens?
    Is it ok for the GK to do a dance like they need a wee to put striker off?

    Always thought the stutter was for posers. Doesn't fool the keeper and makes the run up shorter. Totally needless.
