Was that Tim Krull?

Id agree with that, I thought Doherty made a poor choice to try hit the top corner in the scenario where if he missed we were out. The margin for error was high, especially when he had also hurt his hamstring. But Im not going to hammer him for it. Id much rather look at the Hourihane miss which I thought was disgraceful

The Wimbledon Goalkeeper that saved the John Aldridge ( for Liverpool ) Penalty in the FA Cup Final was also known as very good at saving penalties.

Mark Crossley and Dave Beasant.

Funnily enough, I seem to remember Packie Bonner not being great on penalties at all. Except once :)

Krull was brought on for one penalty shoot out and Holland won it. If all the penalties are very well taken then maybe no goalkeeper will save them. I suppose if the goalkeeper is known as a good penalty saver it ups the pressure a notch !

Great Knowledge there. Bonnar was no small fella. I remember one Argentinian goalkeeper who was said to be good on penalties having one great shootout and nothing the next. If they are all well taken they take a bit of stopping. 48 out of 49 for Le Tissier was some job. He pretty much took the lottery out of it except for once !

If they were all well taken with a bit of disguise you would be very lucky to save any of them ! !

Browne's was a poor kick - the one keepers love. Nice height, not in the corner. Means all the keeper has to do is go the right way.

Was that Sergio Goitoxchea (or however you spell it)?

Took over from the injured Pumpido in the 90 World Cup and got them through a shoot-out anyway. I think he had a reputation as a good penalty saver. But yeah, doesn't mean you won't lose 6-5 the next time.

I remember watching West Ham v Birkirkara in the Europa League a few years back (sounds nerdy, but it sticks in my mind cos I was watching it in the UCD bar straight after we'd lost to Slovan) and that went to penalties. The Maltese keeper was awful - he just moved too early ever time - and West Ham scored all their kicks. Keeper wasn't going to get near any of them. It's sometimes interesting to see a lesser player - with all due respect to the guy, who's obviously a lot better than me! - face top players as then you can really see the difference.

It's the below video -

But sure if that happened to everyone we would be still watching them taking penalties now from last night.

Anyway I only ever took one in a game and had that touch of the Doherty ( maybe too much adrenaline ) = too good of a connection and hit the cross bar and over, not even the chance of a follow up rebound in live play.

It takes balls to take one all the same ! !

Professional footballers should be practising Penalties a lot these days. It can hardly hurt even the most basic technique !

Explains a bit more about the Connolly situation. I think if I was holding the Tape I would have got Two Metres !

Kenny himself mentioned something about it on an interview with Sky News ( before the Game I think )

One Player was 1.9 Metres away ~ ~ Connolly I Assume.

Another player was 1.7 Metres away ~ ~ Idah I Presume.

Has the Irish Main Stream media called a Media Black Out on this ? ? We are in strange times with the Irish Media and the Political Establishment ! !

We are being fed controlled information these days !

the thing is, if connolly and idah had been sent back to England afterwards, like they are now, which we all knew would have to be the case once it was confirmed, why didnt kenny just play them? and yes for anyone that missed it, Sloavkias rules and UK rules would have allowed for him to play, idah to come on.

I know when they returned they would have been in trouble as the players technically would have been in breach but who cares then? they'd have won and wales on sunday wouldnt matter :)

Kenny sort of said that they kept it quite while appealing it, but as you said could they not just have taken advantage of the most advantageous rules of where they were.

The Two Lads have not tested positive as as far as I know !
