THAT Wood penalty.....

[Hotchilidog]

You have to give the keeper credit there, it was a good save. I've seen far worse penalties go in. And FWIW, the incident was right in front of me and I thought it was a clear pen, just surprised it was given. The Jamie Smith one looked even more definite. As the for Lallana one, well I would have shouted for it if it had been an Albion player, but I thought he dived.

I think it wrong that an 18 year old loanee walks into the side and starts taking the pens.
We need to establish regular penalty takers from our own players. I know if Barnes had been on the field he would have taken it, but why did Murray not take it himself, the one he scored at Woking was superb.

 

[Paddy B]

Answer me this though, was our pen appeal in the first half justified (try and be honest). Lallana is more likely to try and score than dive for me.

Yep good shout seen them given

 

[Neil]

the keeper gambled and moves to his left a yard before diving , well before the kick was taken.
if he hadn't moved early he wouldnt have got it

That's exactly what I said at the time. A really poor penalty and the perfect height for the keeper. Bennett should take the penalties.

BTW the poster who said it wasn't a penalty is wrong. I had the perfect view in front of it. Through ball from Smith, Murray tripped, absolutely clear cut.

Hasn't he already missed a couple?

Didn't Wood realise that the keeper would in all probability dive that way because of the penalty on Saturday ? Smashing it in the other corner or even allowing another player to take it should have been the decision if Barnesy was off the pitch.

Double bluff - go the same way thinking the keeper will expect it to go the other way but in fact go the same way anyway. The keeper has a 50/50 choice of which way to go and guessed right on this occasion.

Correct.It is something Poyet Will have to sort.....now!To be honest,he should never have been allowed to take the one against Bristol.

Some people are easily pleased! How can you possibly say that a missed penalty was a good one? Ridiculous.

It was a well taken penalty - it just didnt go in.....doesnt mean it was BAD.

a penalty that blazes over or goes past the post is BAD.

 

[Brighton till i die]

At least the good news is we're so fast and agile now that we're being awarded penalties.

I remember a few years back we must have only got about 2 pens all season back when we were sh!thouse!!!

I genuinely thought he was going away from goal slightly and took a dive, may have been a slight touch but certainly not a foul. Would like to see it again though

 

[e77]

Good positioning although might have been hit harder. Keeper did well though.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Shocking Pen,

You could read where he was going by his run up, plus it was a rubbish height

 

[peterward]

It was a terrible penalty.

Any penalty that gives the keeper a 50/50 chance of saving is NOT good. 2 feet off ground, 1 foot in from corner, any keeper guessing right way is going to save it. keep it on floor or in top corner, nothing else. Then it matter not which way keeper goes, he is not going to save it.

 

[sagaman]

Poorly taken penalty - cost us two points

I thought that too

 

[BensGrandad]

At the worst just slam it down the middle as all keepers dive one way or another none ever stay still in the middle of the goal, just make sure it is above his leg height.

 

[redneb]

shows it better.

 

[Sheebo]

Yep that shows it alot better - the keeper moving 2 yards off his line that is...

Hadn't noticed that. And they call us cheats..

 

[Return of the Rev]

even if the pen had gone on we still might of drawn or lost a point is a great result

That was my feeling on the night, point won!
