Can you imagine us getting to the fifth round of the cup (lol), it going to penalties and losing it because some knob tried a Panenka?* I would say I’d be on the pitch ready to do 20 years for murder but I think a thousand or so of you would be quicker than me to get there. My head would be on Mars right now if I were a Brentford fan. Should be fined two weeks’ wages and have his head kicked in by the massive centre-halves. I’m almost angry for them.

*my money would be on Dembele.

Well I've always believed goalkeepers should just try and save penalties rather then guess and flop in the opposite direction; seemingly what every QPR keeper bar Smithies has done in the history of time.

I suppose a Panenka is just another way of trying to score - surely in this data-driven world though it must be factored in that if the keeper doesn't move / guesses you are going to do it then 100% of the time it will fail, unlike with an attempt at a well-hit penalty? You could get that slightly wrong / keeper goes right way and still a certain percentage of the time it will go in?
