Lags Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/page/NewsU...1498596,00.html The article on the official site got me thinking (yeah yeah dangerous I know). Matt Le Tissier scored 48 out of 49 spot kicks with only our Norm stopping him. Does anyone know Liddells record? it's got to be one of the best. Likewise Alan Shearer. For the older gentleman, Francis Lee was quite a spot man being called the flying pig for his dives in the box.

Jac Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have a question about Liddell's pens. Isn't it illegal (for want of a better word) to run up, stop and then carry on running before taking the kick? That's what he seems to do.

Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) No, you can stutter your run all you want but you CAN'T step back once you've started the run up, you have to move forward, so if you mess the run up trying to be clever then you have the strike the ball dead from on the spot (Liddell usually does that anyway).

Lags Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Aldo used to do that and again it was questioned. I dont know if the law as changed however once you'd started your run up you weren't allowed to stop movin. Aldo claimed a part of his body was still moving maybe Lidds does the same! EDIT: OK as the post above suggest maybe its not move backwards Edited December 24, 2008 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLH1993 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have a question about Liddell's pens. Isn't it illegal (for want of a better word) to run up, stop and then carry on running before taking the kick? That's what he seems to do. only illegal if he stops. He stutters, or slows down, but never stops in his run up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Just like Cronaldo, he messed it up in the Champions League final. Fair play to Cech for having the stones to just stand and wait knowing that the pansy would try something "special" rather than just blast it in to the net.

jsslatic Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The advantage he gets from it nowadays seems miniscule anyway...keepers know he's going to do it and don't look to commit early on. I think it's just part of his routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT_SMASH Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 From what I can gather, He's scored 17 in all competitions (not including friendlies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohh Johnny Eyre Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 From what I can gather, He's scored 17 in all competitions (not including friendlies) The Northampton programme said 42 in 42. So, I now make it 45 from 45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigfinLatic Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hang on...His legs went 2 years ago though didn't they You dont need much in your legs to stutteringly run up 5 yards to kick a stationary ball... then spend the rest of the game stood on the wing contributing toss all..

Guest oa_exile Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I've bit. Behave BF, season of good will, give him an extension The way I look at it is ...... that our super dooper penalty taker who never misses is guaranteed say 5 or 6 certain goals from the spot a season, which will make him our third or fourth leading goalscorer.......so must be worth another season's extension to his contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Damage Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Smalley needs to improve alot to become a first team regular. Runs down blind alleys and loses the ball to easy, too often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have started it now - He will miss the one in the playoffs at wembley in the last minute that would have gained us promotion to the Chamionship.
