Now that's how you take a penalty kick 01:48 - Sep 13 with 4406 viewstimcocking

Brilliant, i've never seen anybody kick a football harder than that.

That was the moment of the match for me. For Dykes to grab the penalty and insist he was having while Chair and Bright were arguing over it and then to do that with it...superb. He doesn't look like he'd be a particularly effective 5-a-side player, but that was a good battling effort all match.

There were so many positives to draw from that, i could go on for a long time. Really pleasing. Well done Mark Warburton. I loved watching a team of young QPR players without bloody loanees everywhere. Most of them really happy to be here and to be playing. Beautiful stuff.

Very Ray Stewartesque, he used to take them for westham and nearly took the net off every time.

As good as the pen was I liked the celebration more. single finger wag, no smile or running about. Top marks.

Yes re the celebration it was a "right, that's done, let's go to Nandos" moment.

Never knowingly right.

Like a centre back whacking it into the net with the eighth kick of a penalty shoot-out.

There’s no right (or wrong) way to take a penalty. None.

If it it’s scored, it’s done it’s duty. The only crap ones are the ones that don’t go in.

Like the modern thing about stats and justice leagues.

It’s bollocks. Goals win games. Brentford are still Brentford. In Hounslow

Well, lest we not forget, Matt le Tissier, what was it, 49 out of 50? No luck involved there.

I also liked very much Dykes's defensive technique; reminded me of my old favourite. Pretend your lazy and not closing down and then absolutely fly at him the moment he drops his guard. Lyndon nailed several of the buggers like that. Great stuff. He looks like another potential Rangers talisman, fingers crossed.

Really like the fact he's a no nonsense forward that just gets it done. Exactly what we need.

But if he gets injured what happens?

I just thought it was great to see a a striker take the ball for a pen.

You're a striker, you're paid to score, and here's a free chance. Why would any striker give the ball up?

Very true. I always wondered what might have been had Hateley done the honours on debut and stepped up instead of allowing Barker to break the scoreboard. Hopefully Dykes being brave enough and scoring, will mean it works out a lot better for him and us then big Mark did.

Agree Brian. Shearer never passed up the opportunity of a free shot at goal from 12 yards. In the first Gerry era I know we had a great penalty taker in Willo but I always wondered why Les never fancied taking them?

Clive Wilson was a majestic penalty taker. Millwall in the cup still gives me goosebumps.

Jim Langley never missed a penalty for us, 100% record. Dunga used to give the ball a fair old thump too.

Maybe because Wilson was considered a better penalty taker than Les. Does not immediately follow that a striker is the best dead ball specialist.

Well, some strikers are better without too much thinking time. It takes a steely-nerved fella to step up at that level and Alan Shearer was a master goal scorer, Les more of a target man and centre forward rather than an out and out goal scorer.

I loved taking penalties as a kid. Once i missed the first one in a game, though, i never forgot it. By the time i got older and occasionally we might have to have the odd penalty shoot out to settle cup tournaments, i'd be genuinely petrified at the thought of it reaching me and praying somebody would miss before i had the chance. Everybody would step up if asked, but a lot of us were literally dreading it. I would have thought i'd thrive of that sort of pressure but i definitely didn't. That's why sometimes a team can have not a single bloke. You need to be a psychopath ideally. Think of the difference between potting any old ball at pool and potting the black in an important league match and multiply the pressure.

Agreed, though; i do like the striker to man up and take it, preferably with (to use Clive's trademark) a thunderbastard like that. It bodes positively for the character of the guy.

I think plenty of awful poorly taken pens result in a goal.... Terrible scuffed kicks that trickle into middle-ish part of goal only by dint of goalie hurling themselves to one side trying to guess where it might go.
Saw a pretty duff one the other week that went in cos goalie jumped the other way. Commentator tried to call it a good penalty by suggesting the taker gave the keeper "the eyes"??? Utter drivel, taker didn't look at keeper or even look up once - very tame weak side-footed shot "placed" just right of centre and missing keeper's foot by inches.
Anyway, Dyke's penalty was totally unsaveable - that is what a good penalty is.
