There was a great video by the ginger scouse gobshite off redmentv at that final, he was recording himself watching the penalties. Before they started he said something along the lines of: 'It's penalties, and we all know what happens with Liverpool in penalty shootouts....' The look on his face as Willy kept saving, and we kept scoring, was fantastic.Look at how many games the Dippers used to win on penalties. It was an incredible amount and we even beat them at their own game 3 years ago to win the league cup.
And now today, an omen perhaps for the rest of the season.
That Stoke one went on until it was light almost...13-12 or something like that.Stoke away was my first in 81 or 82, League Cup.
Then Sunderland in the Full Monty Cup 85. Sparked a pitch invasion from the Main Stand!
Won them both
First i recall losing was Blackpool at home in the League Cup
Not quite! It was 9-8.That Stoke one went on until it was light almost...13-12 or something like that.
Ah time and memory.....wait for nobody.Not quite! It was 9-8.
Both missed one in the first 5 (Hartford for City and Lee Chapman for Stoke) and only both goalkeepers had not taken a spot kick at the end.
Nah. Bottle and a better keeper are more important, luck is far more important. There's plenty that aren't great technicians that can hit a dead ball well from 12 yards.I'm always confident in a penalty shootout now. I definitely believe that 9 times out of 10, the team with the technically better players will win a penalty shootout.
