Cabaye taking that penalty....

Poor pen but the keeper did well to keep it out and get away. Pressure got to him, it happens.

Pretty much this. The keeper still has to go the right way or they'll be saying 'expertly put away'. Just one of those things
 
seen penalty....its poor no pace or any conviction....should never have been taking it
That's what one the mag players said on MOTD. The palace players weren't arsed.

The PL should look at these games and make it clear that points can be deducted if teams don't bother to turn up for these end of season games. Mags could stay up because 3 teams have given up.....

Agreed. It just happend to happen to an excellent penalty taking ex mag favourite less than 48 hours after his manager stated openly to the world that 'he's desperate for Newcastle to stay up'. Some people though eh? :rolleyes:
 
The fa should investigate that incident .Need to get lawyers for you on the case .Cadbye that was a fooking disgrace .

A player takes a fairly shit penalty... FA must investigate!

A player plays on for a full year, scoring vital goals, whilst all the time the hierarchy of his club knew he had groomed and molested a child... Nothing to see here.

what has that got to do with the FA you thick spineless fuck. Another one who never shows when NUFC are shit
 
What these clips show is that both keepers start to dive before the ball is kicked.

Defoe either sees this or just gets lucky and places it on the opposite side of the goal to the keeper, while Cabaye directs his feeble effort straight at the keeper.

Does he just not see the dive because it looks like Darlo goes way earlier than Stoke's keeper?
It's easy to see in slow mo but in real time given the position of Defoe and Cabaye when the keepers make a move, there is no way they can change their mind so close to kicking the ball and you can see Cabaye is looking at the ball anyway.

Even if Cabaye did see the keeper, if you notice (as some haven't) Darlow seems to dummy (intentional or not) a dive to his right but then pushes back to his left while coming out off his line. It's a good save to a not so great penna.

I can't be arsed to hoy the gif up from behind but that's why he looks like this in one frame and you can see Cabaye is already fully committed to the penna as Darlow starts to push off to his left after his 'dummy' to the right which Cabaye may or may not have seen.

Whereas the Stoke keeper just went to his right with no dummy move but again there's little chance Defoe could do owt to change his shot and the keeper has barely moved.



Keeper dived early so Defoe put the ball in opposite side. So yeah same place but a much better penalty by Defoe. Cabaye tried to give the keeper a chance. Shades of chopra for us against the mags passed the ball instead of an easy scoring chance. What can you do it's happened before it will happen again!
Keeper had gone before defoe hits it.
That didn't happen for me as the keeper barely moved before Defoe hit it. Aye he did move but I don't think there's any way Defoe could change his mind when milliseconds away from hitting the ball as shown above in the freeze frame and in the gif posted earlier.

You might be right about Defoe's shot, there's not a lot in it but it's obvious which way Darlow is going before Cabaye has hit the ball.

It's difficult to say for certain whether Defoe knew the keeper was going to his right because he could have given it away with some subtle movement that we don't see in the video.
 
It was hit in pretty much the same place Defoe's was...
yes but defoe waited for the goalie to dive the other way then (Microseconds)slotted it in........nee chance of the goaliec saving it .........Cabaye is a disgrace!

I agree you can't see everything in a shitty quality gif but are you sure about it being obvious for Darlow's dive? I don't think it is as Darlow seemed to dummy to his right first and went back to his left but by then Cabaye was probably fully committed to hitting it. If Cabaye had seen anything before committing to hitting the ball then it would have been the dummy but I don't think he even saw that. Watch the gif (zoom in if you can) and you will see that Cabaye seems to be looking down at the ball and only looks up after hitting it. I know you can't see his eyes but it's not easy to have your head looking down and then try to look forward with your eyes.

It's misleading to see stuff slowed down as with things like pennas. sometimes it's milliseconds to see what a keeper is doing and impossible to change your shot. If Cabaye changes his swing mid air then he could fuck up the shot completely and many say you should make your mind up before you hit it. That's why you get the likes of Neymar who stutter runs in the hope of a keeper moving early so they can possibly change their mind. With both Defoe's and Cabaye's shots, I think they both made their mind up where to hit it well before the keeper moved as there's no way they could have reacted to the keeper's dive unless the keeper pointed which way he was going to dive.

Give over man.

Palace put in a good away performance and were only unlocked by a world class free kick.

Cabaye missed the pen, it happens. Poor pen but the Keeper still has to guess right. Unless he tells him which way he's putting it obviously. I'm sure that'll be the next conspiracy.
 
Darlow guessed right, end of.If Cabaye wanted to miss on purpose, he would have blasted it over or wide, not put it on target
Even the co commentator said his body shape pointed to where he was putting it you keep on thinking other wise though
