Still not the same as open play goals. In open play you work yourself into a scoring position. With penalties that position is handed to you!

How about a free kick that goes straight in, or from a corner, doesn't that count either?

How many goals did Kane score against France then, none?

Kane of Keighley cougars??!

Yes, they do count.

Yes, they do count.

But they're from a set position thats handed to you rather than 'open play ' so what's the difference?

I think we passed rational thought some time back.

With corners and free kicks you probably have a 10 percent chance of those moments resulting in a goal. With penalties it's I'd say about 85 percent.🤔

Statistics say it is 75%. https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...gQFnoECCUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3rWkupoU2Sr1wS-Vh1MVrg

Knowing that if you go off your team and team mates will suffer puts added pressure on you! You had to be psychologically stronger in those days that today!

And whats that got to do with scoring a hatrick???

Still a very strange concept not to count a penalty as a bonafide goal though, I suppose one can never tell whether you really mean it or whether you're just saying it for something to do.

So did Kane score against France in your opinion?

How do you come to that conclusion?

 

[yello]

Was it Brian Clough who suggested that there was no excuse for missing a penalty?

 

[yello]

And what if it goes in off your arse? A deflection. Can you claim that as a goal?

September 6th 2000 David Dunn scored three penalties, in ordinary time, as Rovers beat Rochdale 6 - 1 in the league cup. I suspect Dunny would be disappointed to know these weren't proper goals.

Always remember the date as it's my wife's birthday.
