Title: Penalty!
Post by: DMR on Saturday, March 19, 2005, 18:37:26
Just a few comments...

1. Howard's was a clear penalty, wrestled to the floor by about 5 men and well inside the area

2. Jenkins' was never a penalty, great dive  :D

3. Jenks' reaction, the little pumping of the fists and winking at the crowd  8)  Ace

Reminiscent of Dave Bamber's debut. Remember him winking at the Town End. The grey cells are fading, so can't remember whether he was lying on the floor at the time.

They broke the mold when they made Dave Bamber.  There has never been another player quite like him!

Even I could, and I'm probably worse than your grandma!

They all count though! Just look at some of the shite goals Lita has scored this year.

Did he take it with his right foot?  I think he did. Very strange!

He's left footed.  God you can't be a true Parkin fan, bet you don't even know his star sign or what hand he wanks with....

to be fair he's pretty much able to use both feet, sorry to piss on your parade fella's.

I agree with Sonic.

BUT, if he was left footed, why the fuck would he take a match winning, hat trick hunting penalty with his right peg? Eh?

Only according to FM  :P   But I believe he has a preference for his left foot - even a player competent on both feet will have a stronger foot....  So why did he take it with his right foot, as young David said?

Post by: DMR on Sunday, March 20, 2005, 00:57:51
Because he's predominantly right footed ffs

A reason other than that, as its wrong.  Wonder what hand he wanks with....

Didn't really want to know about how Sonic services old men, but he insisted on telling us....

To straighten it out you're both right, but Dave is more right...

I remember an interview he had not long after we signed him and he stated that his natural foot is his right... But one day his old chap said he should learn to use his left and he spent a year or something using mainly his left. After a while it became his better foot, and his preferred one for shooting, but as stated by the man himslef he is actually right footed!

So there...

Can some one who can be bothered have a look at all the goals he has scored and tell us which ones were right foot/left foot/headers etc?  I could have sworn he is predominantly left footed.

Gawa is right SSP.. is naturally rgiht  footed, but uses the left just as well if not better.

Not saying he isn't right footed, but he always says he prefers to use the left peg.
Confused me when I saw him running up to take it right footed. As far as I can remember he took the one against Brighton with his left. That was one hell of a pen!

No, the one he took in the PO's was with his right peg. Fact.

Last time Parkin had a match winning, hat trick getting penatly (home to Blackpool last season) he took it with his left and missed....

On another note that contradicts myself, a few of the best goals I've seen Sammy score....

1. Wycombe away- 50 yard run and 18 yard curler- left footed goal
2. QPR home- that mental 15 yard lob- left footed goal
3. Hull City home- left footed curler at the Town End
4. Barnsley home- another left footed curler a few weeks ago at the Bank

In the end, it just all adds to his greatness really  :beers

My favourite Sammy goal was against QPR in his first season. That was incredible :)
