May seem like a daft question, but does a team reduced to ten men have one less penalty taker in the shoot out, should it come to it?

I mean if it comes down to the 11th man to take.

Think the other team has to leave one player out to make it even.

I thought in these situations the Manager had to take the extra penalty. Im sure back in the 90's the then Mansfield manager Steve Parkin scored the winning penalty in whatever they called the EFL Trophy back then

I hope not, if it’s Dyche it’s nailed on to go over the bar.

I, but it’s the Gammy leg that worries me.

That's spot on, the other team makes a choice as to who they leave out.

Can they chose to leave their goalkeeper out?

Goal keepers seem to take class penalties in shoot outs, they deal with the nerves well I think as they’re already in the firing line

I saw an interview with a goalkeeper recently but can't remember who. He said he always wanted to take one because he felt with all the times he'd kicked a ball upfield suggested he could strike a ball.

A former Burnley striker once told me that strikers are not the best penalty takers because they rarely kick a dead ball in a match,

Yeah, I can imagine that’s very true

I'd imagine very few penalties taken like a *goal kick would be saved.

*Traditional goal kicks, obviously. Not this two yard pass fannying about.

I always remember Kevin Pressman lashing one in the top corner against Wolves in a cup match. Absolutely leathered it.

Paul Fletcher perhaps? Don't think I ever saw him take a penalty( though to be fair that can apply to a lot of forwards from years back). It's just that we always used to say that many of Paul Fletcher's goals were instinctive. The quicker the ball came to him the more lethal he seemed to be. Two of his goals from the 70's illustrate this perfectly; a volley at home to Villa early 72-73 and of course the goal at Leeds in 1974.

It wasn't Fletch, but he falls into that category. I think he only took one and that was to complete a hat trick.

Paddy Roach didn’t for Halifax.

Good point. I’d agree with that. Do midfielders take most direct free kicks? I think they do.

They do tend to take the most free kicks but I think Ross Wallace was the last non-striker to take a pen for us.

When was that penalty?
Matt Taylor took the one against Leicester in April 2015 so couldn’t have been long after that as Ross left that summer

Pickford lashed a great Pen for England.

I'd have been confident for Heaton to take one.
Pope - it's going over the bar.

I’m losing the plot again. Wallace I’m sure was the last non-striker to score a pen for us. Both Arfield & Taylor missed pens in 2014/15.

I can think of at least nine other people that don't think you are qualified to talk about taking penalties.

But why should it be 'evened up'? The whole point of sending a player off is to penalise the player and their team in that match for a serious rule infringement; a penalty shoot-out is part of the match.
