If Phil Babb had done that it would have been lucky.

Crazy debate earlier on Ramseys pel.
Phil Babb reckons he was lucky and got it wrong as if the keeper had guessed the right way he would have saved it. He said that a Panenka should be down the middle as the keeper dives one way or another.
The way is see it...
1) if the keeper had dived the right way, he would not have got it because of the height.
2) Who is to say that Ramsey didn't wait for the dive before picking his spot?
3) What if the keeper didn't dive and Ramsey did try a "proper" Panenka, he'd have made R look a mug.
IMO, it was one of THE great pelanties in its own right and subsequent similar pels will now be known as "The Ramsey"
If Phil Babb had done that it would have been lucky.
The way his foot was as he took the kick suggests to me, quite strongly, that he meant it that way.
Zidane's wasn't straight down middle and that was the greatest panenka imo
What a steaming great pile of bollocks. Of course he meant it! Phil Babbs a tit.
Thought Babb was quite anti Welsh tonight and obviously pro ROI can't wait to turn them over last game of campaign !
Good penalty - it went in.
I didn't realise the history: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/f...nalty-13171191
Rambo is a genius.
And (NSASWA) here's what happens when it goes tits up

Ramsey said last night that the keeper said to him it was going in the middle... so Ramsey chipped it to the right instead.
One of the best pens I've ever seen. If Messi or Ronaldo did that, the likes of Phil ****ing Babb would be creaming themselves.
I dont know why Phil Babb is getting pelted. It was a light hearted discussion on wether he meant it or not and both him and Saunders, who wasnt 100% sure he meant it either, agreed it doesnt matter because he scored and thats what counts.
Wales fans in faux outrage because non welsh man doesnt think it was the greatest pelanty ever.
Keeper moved before, Ramsey put it the other side. Great penalty.
Always thought Zidane dodged a bullet with that one. Looked awesome but it only just made it - I can't believe even the great Zidane was trying to get it that close.
Great pelanty, but my favourite Zidane tournament pelanty will always be Euro 2004 in the last minute when he puked just before taking the run up. Can't remember who that was against, let me think...
The Pirlo chip against Joe Hart after deciding he needed to be taken down a peg was one of my favourites
Except it was a panenka and he scored it...
Are you the guy that said he's overrated?
No im not.
Each to their own but a Panenka for me is when the ball is chipped up and is coming down as it crosses the line, with the keeper stranded, and you know its a goal from the moment it leaves your foot. Its not a penalty that is chipped into the roof of the net, still rising,and for a second or two Zidane is not 100% sure hes scored and his team mates have to appeal for it.
Nowhere near as good as Panenkas or the Pirlo one mentioned above.
Pirlo, King of the 'Panenka'
The one against England is a thing of beauty, mainly because Pirlo is just cool as **** doing it in a penalty shoot out.
But when you see it in slow mo on that last video, its barely waist height when it crosses the line, the size of bollocks needed to do that with such little pace is incredible.
Watching it live I just remember bursting out laughing at the sheer cheek of it and it still stands out.
