And up steps Cattermole....

[mackemglastoid]

For all his shortcomings he f***ing loves us. He's divided opinion over the years so much so that if he'd have scored the winning pen he would've been lauded as a Sunderland legend.
Chin up Catts lad. Fans were tremendous today. Can't fault them, the very best of the best. Wouldn't be surprised if he scores the winning pen in the play off final. We still believe in love....

 

[dangermows]

Missed on purpose apparently

 

[SafcForeverFTM]

We'll be bringing him off before the pens next time

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

He'll have volunteered himself. That's the guy that he is. But really the boss should have said, "Lee, no".

Still, difficult to win a shoot-out when the other team scores five. Just because Cattermole misses, doesn't mean we necessarily win.

 

[dcl0sc]

Had bottle enough to take one, unlike our captain!

 

[JC22]

How anyone can give him pelters for having the balls to step up and take a penalty in a shootout is beyond me.

 

[My Boy Harry]

Someone has to miss. Fate said that it was his turn today

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

At least he took one. Others players need to take a long look at themselves. Spineless.

 

[Anthly]

Reminded of David Batty taking a penalty for England in the World Cup 98 against Argentina. Just knew he was going to miss,whilst others hid(Paul Ince),a bit like today others hid.

Never looked confident.

 

[samwise]

85k fans there, he was at the 'wrong end' yet still made that walk and took one...gets my respect for that and i am not his greatest admirer by a long way.

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

It was a good penalty but the keeper made a good save.

Didn't Ince take one... And also miss.

Like Batty ,Catts is a big enough character to get over a penalty miss.

Didn't Ince take one... And also miss.

Not World Cup 98

It was a good penalty but the keeper made a good save.

It was saved and some credit must go to the keeper. At least he didn't do a Waddle and put it in row Z.

 

[Vauxie]

He stepped up,did our captain?

 

[mcq10]

I would never judge a player who volunteers for a penalty and misses.

It wasn’t the worst pen in the world.

I honestly expected power to hit row z because he’s f***ing useless that lad

 

[nowtgoodeverhappens]

It was a good penalty but the keeper made a good save.

It really wasn’t mind

 

[b1gals]

I wouldnt have Cattermole in my team but I will never criticise him for missing a penalty, at least he had the balls to take one. My angst would be aimed at the likes of Honeyman, the captain, and in particular Wyke, a centre forward who's paid to score goals but who thinks he can't score from 12 f***ing yards.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Apart from possibly McGeady who had two really good spells Cattermole was our best player for me. Showed Leadbitter up who was disappointing.
