The only penalties I can visualise are to the left, but I'm sure he's hit at least one to the right?
Can anyone confirm?

What side does Barnes usually place hit spotkick?

He usually hits them powerfully, that helps

OOoh I'm quite proud of myself there, before I saw that I said all ovr the place, but probably the same amount right as he does left.... see I do watch carefully

Not that carefully as they're not all Barnes' penalties.

Barnes has hit 5 out of 6 to the left.
Needs to mix it up a bit I think.

Got me there. He's only put the Cardiff one left of the keeper!!

Thing is though they are normally unstopable. Look at the one against Liverpool. You aint going to see a better pen than that.
Its one of those things. Keepers save penatlies these days. Even I wouldn't hammer Barnes for missing a spot kick
Wow, Harleys penalty against Millwall really was bad

You've changed your tune.
I remember at the start of the season that you were saying his penalties weren't that good because they were to close to the centre!
If you look at the image above only 2 of his penalties are right in the corner. I would only say these ones are unstoppable.
Anyway I'm not having a go at Barnes, just an observation/opinion. I thought before he took the penalty that he would go to the left - it's easy enough for a goalkeeper to research these things.

I remember the Cardiff one, because it was a poor penatly. After Liverpool, Ash if free to take any penalty he wants. Hopefully, Poyet will leave him in the role, but he does like to swap them when someone misses. And yes, my opinion on some of Barnes game has changed. I've said that before. But Still think he falls some way short though

A couple of feet higher than than last night.
It does seem to me that he tends to go to the keeper's right which Federici will definitely have known. Reading did a 'good' job on the spot-kick in keeping with their other persistent time-wasting, making sure there was a nice long wait before he could take it and ramping up the pressure. The ref, obviously, went along with it rather than just flashing a card to speed things up up.
Once he'd been forced to wait that long, I reckon it was always most likely he'd go for his preferred route - just human nature to do that when the pressure's really on.

out of interest - if this is indeed the case - what's the site?
It's not. I use the info on espnsoccernet to maintain an excel sheet. The penalty thing above is done in ms paint (the shots are actually different sizes and the alignment of the text underneath should be a give away of the amateur nature of it).

I appreciated that the graphic was "home made" but it was more how you know where each penalty went - I was wondering if you had found a site where somebody else did all the research (!) .... but I suspect you have probably just watched them on Seagulls Player?
