Probably because of the reaction of most of the fans if he'd missed. Hasn't missed one yet but the fans are too ready to slag him off. Bennett has missed the last two he's taken and won't get 1/10th of the abuse Barnes would have got.
Is the goalkeeper allowed to TACKLE the penalty taker as he is taking the penalty? Unbelievable. I think that ref might literally be the worst ref ever.
Sandanza was appealing to the bench to let him take it and then spat his dummy out when the response was obviously - " Sort it out amongst yourselves ". I saw all that , but....
Teach me to sit at home in the warm and watch streaming tv - stream went dodgy for a few minutes just before the equaliser went in Will have to see it on ITV highlights show tonight.
Sorry mate but i seem to recall the fact that barnes is the best pen taker we got, thought i would just remind you, you must have forgotten of something.
The captain should decide who will take the penalty. Thats the rule the teams I played for used to use and it seemed to work well. It looks far more professional than 5 blokes squabbling and throwing hissy fits.
