Quote from: Wildweasel74 on May 12, 2024, 08:08:24 PMWhen it comes to Penalties, normally a goalkeeper has to pull u out of a hole. Most penalties are scored, so keeper needs save a few. Armagh keeper kept repeatly going early, before the ball was kicked, left it easy for the kicker to go the other way. There always a 1 or 2 straight down the middle, best way to save a penalty is to stand u ground.
100%
Penalties usually fall into one of two categories.
(i) Well hit that you aren't saving anyway.
(ii) Utter dung very close to down the middle.
The missing category is of course (iii) the saveable penalty if the goalkeeper guesses the right way and is at full stretch.
But the volume of penalties that fall under (ii) are far more than (iii).
So stand your ground. Make the kicker work for it. They're even more likely to mess it up when you don't move.
