Mr Popodopolous Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Having double checked it does appear to be 19 and not 18 for Birmingham in the League. 214 games- 19 penalties for them. 213 games- 8 penalties for us. It becomes even more mental when you adjust it cor big chances, but remember the period run from August 2018 to January 10th 2022. 1 per 58 big chances to them, vs 1 per 91 big chances to us. Dread to think what it is now for us! Edited February 11, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Apologies if this info has been mentioned already.... I posted the NY Times article to my Glasgow Rangers mate. This was his reply.... Just as well Tavenier left City. He scored his 50th penalty (out of 59) for Gers last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probaly best we have not been awarded one. Why some footballers 'choke' during penalty shootouts: Brain scans reveal those who miss are overthinking the consequences of missing the shot A penalty is one of the most pressurised individual events in all of sport There have been many high-profile misses such as Southgate at Euro '96 Researchers found some people activate the pre-frontal cortex in their brain This is responsible for long-term thinking and leads to nerves and apprehension People who trigger this region of their brain are more likely to fluff their attempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarwray Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I haven’t read the whole thread so it may be mentioned but how many penalties have there been against us? I was at Coventry for the last City penalty, it was one minute into stoppage time. Six minutes into the second half Coventry were awarded a penalty.
