The entire point of the post was one of debate as to why it is that strikers quite often do not take penalties, when IMHO it might (might - that's the point of the debate) be better for their goal scoring confidence if they did.
So, for all you out there that are not quite getting this:
I AM NOT ADVOCATING THAT ANDREWS STOP TAKING THE FECKIN PENALTIES. Ok. I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY SO FEW FECKIN STRIKERS HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO TAKE THEM.

here's a bit of advice...

don't bother

there are folk on here are are just plainly too dense to see anything so subtle.

that's all.
have you answered that question yet? :D

Carry on
He was a left back at Bolton.

Should have been left back in the changing rooms.
Straw-clutching. He played left-back occasionally, but he "was" a right-back.

Do you really want to argue that Phil Neal was more of a left-back than a right-back?

Wonder who'll take their penalty tonight? Almost nailed on they'll get one with a hundred thousand Makems screaming every time they get near our box.

kinda proves LLS's point - give sordell a pengy to take - he scores it - gains confidence and becomes a goal machine! :wink:
