beararse 6,431 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Anyone who takes a one step ‘run up’ or does a Ali type shuffle should be banned from taking penalties IMO. That penalty from Roofe last night was fucking ridiculous. Reminded me of Fred Flintstone ten pin bowling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossDas 1,071 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Knew as soon as I saw the panic dripping off him that he was missing that penalty. The stupid run-up was probably due to indecision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The only bad penalties are missed penalties. Our conversion rate is pretty poor this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 18,677 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Not the context I thought this would be after reading the title but aye was a daft looking cunt with that pen. For me, we should have the strikers/attacking players taking pens. Not only does it up their goal ratios, but these guys are on that pitch to score. That's their job. They are (supposed to be) more instinctive in front of goal. Our first two pen takers are defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 43,258 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 As soon as the captain missed with a terrible one the writing was on the wall. Roofe just added to his absolutely rotten evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookWorm 4,197 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Professional footballers should not be missing penalties. Ever!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Tav’s was the worst. We’ve seen him smash them and he went soft, comfortable height and down the middle. Bottled it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 On the other hand, that lad who smashed his in to the roof of the net for them. What a penalty. All professional footballers should be good enough to do that, though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,903 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 It looked like they had been practicing taking penalties and we had not. I am sure we did but on the night that was how it seemed to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Penalty shoot outs are more often than not about momentum and confidence .I wasn’t confident when it was 0-0 .It was even less confident ,when they scored 1 minute into injury time in extra time .They then had the momentum .And all night ,our players had shown no confidence .Depressing penalty shoot out tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedrick 8,048 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Imagine practicing a fucking daft run up as a professional footballer , no way that’s off the cuff on the day , that’s been practiced on the training pitch, he missed but the run up was different class said absolutely no cunt ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,385 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Didn't have much confidence going into that shootout. They had the momentum from the late equalizer plus clark having one of the games of his life. Tav missing set the tone. They looked confident as fuck going up and we didn't.

hammer93 15,065 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I said it last night.....Tav had missed his last two....Defoe was brought on especially for the shootout....he is unquestionably the best pk taker in the club....for me he should have took the first kick....he scores and the pressure goes straight onto the opposition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

livibear101 248 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 No point debating who should be our penalty taker from now on! the reason we were never going to win that penalty shootout was the fact that Clark was on a massive high and had a brilliant game we had to win the match in normal play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That penalty from Roofe last night was fucking ridiculous. Reminded me of Fred Flintstone ten pin bowling. My playing days are long behind me but i played with a Dutch guy over here years ago and he did the one to two step run up to a penalty and never missed and always fired it to where he wanted it to go. I asked him about it and he said as long as you know where your going to put it and hit it with power then the goalkeeper doesn't have time to think. He also said that they used to practice them like that in Holland and in the end it all comes down to confidence. That penalty by Roofe yesterday was all about trying to embarrass the goalkeeper and making Roofe look good , arrogance personified , and he looked ridiculous because of it. Look at St. Johnstones penalties yesterday , everyone of them hit with authority and McGregor wasn't getting near any of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any half decent keeper isn’t going to make a decision until the taker is about to strike the ball so all that tippy toe nonsense beforehand has little to no effect other than detract from the takers concentration. There was a stark difference between our kicks and theirs unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
