Ulloa Penalty Miss - Video

[Giraffe]

My thoughts also, but the follow up was poor to get Leo out of jail, how easy is it to score a goal from a pushed out pen and no one that keen apart from barnsley following in for it, schoolboy stuff.

I thought this at the time also. A natural goalscorer would have been on that rebound

If i was Gus and Tanno i would be having at least four of my fastest players on the edge of that box following it in, i worry far too much about these simple things but isn't that what makes the difference come the end of the year, well i think Leo would have been grateful for someone tucking in the rebound.

 

[littlehampton seagull]

he was unlucky not a bad pen a good save these things happen. That is what makes following Albion mad and is making my hair fall out

 

[Surf's Up]

bad pen. Never looked like he was going to score

This, I could've saved it!!

 

[SeagullSongs]

I had money on him to score 2 or more at 11/1

Might give it a miss next time...

 

[Stat Brother]

Was Calde bearing down on goal to get the penalty?

If he was it'll be £85 a dirty northern ... has cost me.

 

[dougdeep]

Poor refereeing.

 

[BensGrandad]

Should have been retaken, keeper was off his line

When are refs going to stop this habit of keepers diving forward before the kick is taken. When I was a ref I was taught to watch the keeper and listen for the sound of the ball being kicked and the lino to watch for encroachment and listen for the kick. I was also taught that the only way that a keeper would save a kick was if (a) He moved early or (b) the kick was mis hit . If struck firmly and in the right direction the player will score as the ball will travel faster than a mans reaction.

He had just broken into the box on the right side (facing the goal), only just inside the area, and it looked like he had yet to change direction toward the goal.

Now the laws of the game state it is the referee's assistant responsibility to watch for goalkeepers "blatantly" moving off the line before the ball is kicked, suggesting a certain amount of early movement is accepted.

Also, that penalties only being scored that way is clearly nonsense. A played who tries a dink down the middle can be saved by a goalkeeper standing still. But it's also possible to save penalties without moving early or shots being miss-hit.

 

[Biscuit]

Poor pen. Good height for keeper and nowhere near the corner.

This. He'll have to work on that.

That was a generalisation and as such players didnt do a dink down the middle, that has come into the modern game, they always used to hit it hard to the corner or even down the middle and hardly any were saved, some missed but not saved. The first keeper to start saving penalties was Paul Cooper at Ipswich by moving forward fractionally early, which every keeper does now and as I say should be jumped on by the refs.

 

[Springal]

When he ran up, I knew exactly where he was going to put it, with a bit more power or pace, it probably would have gone in, but almost seemed in slow motion.

Interesting for their penalty, Tomasz asked Andy Beasley what way the taker was going to kick it, and got it right, shame it was a very good penalty right in the bottom corner out of Tomasz's reach.

That is rubbish as it is easier for the ref standing near the spot to see the keeper and the lino standing on the by line to see the players behind the ref coming into the box early.

Just to clarify, are you saying the law is rubbish, or that me saying it was the law is rubbish, because I can show you the law...

*assumes it's the former*

I would counter that with forward movement off the line is easier to see if you are staring down that line, which the assistant is, as opposed to staring perpendicularly at it, which the ref would be. And wile not exactly in line, the ref is position more in line with the edge of the box, than the assistant who is more perpendicular to it.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

The greatest example ever of a keeper off his line was Dave Beasant ( Wimbledon v Liverpool FAC final ) He throws himself forward so he is at least 3 yards off his line and when he saves John Aldridge's pen, they are barely 4 yards apart. Beasant is so far out it is laughable. Aldridge had no chance.
We can now add Ulloa to the list of ' non-penalty takers ' along with CMS/Barnes/Dicker/Harley etc

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Spanish Len went for accuracy rather than power , he could have blasted it and missed the target altogether.

 

[W.C.]

Er yes, that may er have been me, and quickly followed by a "Jeeeesus Christ"

haha, yeah nice reaction.Summed it up.

Not such a great penalty for me. Bit tame, right height for keeper.

I always think that you should smack a penalty hard into the roof of the net. You get the occasional one over the bar, but not as often as you see a keeper save a weekly struck penalty.

 

[Puppet Master]

First time I've seen that and I guessed straight away from his position before the run up he was gonna go keeper's right.
