To be pedantic, so we know exactly what we mean, it depends how much harder - 1% harder, Stockdale would still have saved it, 100% harder, no keeper would ever save it.
So what?
You're simply saying that it could have been struck better, and been unsaveable - well of course it bloody could...
What about it?
Not at all. One penalty was taken better than the other, but 1) that's not relevant. You can post videos of many penalties that are unsaveable, but that doesn't take anything away from Stockdale's save, and 2) part of the reason Caddis didn't do better is because of Stockdale's...
I know. The point being, that the penalty wasn't so slow as to allow Stockdale time to go and save it, he got there because he planned it and went early enough.
My post wasn't solely aimed at you.
I think he only got there because he started moving before the ball was struck. It's not like the ball was kicked and Stockdale had time to see where it was going, and then get down to it.
Of course it gave Stockdale the opportunity to save, as he saved it. I...
If you had apologised, I assure you I wouldn't have mentioned it again, but you didn't apologise, you said you were sorry that someone was rude to you (or words to that effect). If you subsequently apologised properly, please post a link and I will accept my mistake and apologise.
Indeed it was savable. Every penalty that's been saved in the history of football, was savable. That doesn't mean we can't ever say that a keeper has made a good save.
He could have hit it closer to the post, he could have put it in the top corner - no one ever saves those, but then it's hard...
:lol: One person, several years ago, said they thought you see the game as it is, and you pick that over the hundreds of people on here each week that tell you they disagree with you. And that's assuming the person wasn't being sarcastic, which is a fairly big assumption.
Also, I wouldn't...
You could say the same about every penalty that's ever been saved. If it's put to the side of the keeper, and it's saved, then it wouldn't have been if it was hit hard enough. So you can't conclude that it was poorly hit, just by the fact that it would go in if struck harder.
I think you're the only one that ever sees it as it is. Bear with us though BG, and if you can stay the course and show us the light, one day we will understand.
