I remember idiots on here and elsewhere genuinely believing he missed it on purpose.
Kenny Miller had the chance to win that for us. Hit it too sweet in fact.
Wasn't Bellamy sitting on the bench and laughing when we equalised?
In hindsight it would have been. But we'll never know what he was thinking that day. He may have thought he was onto bigger and better things. As I recall, he seemed to have a fairly high opinion of himself. He'd been out on loan, didn't seem like he wanted to be at Cardiff and I don't think he ever played for us again after that penalty miss. All I'm saying, is that it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he missed on purpose. And there's no way to know for sure either way.
I will say this, if under all that pressure Gerrard was good enough to deliberately miss by such a small fraction then he's far more skilful than I ever gave him credit for.
I think that the notion that he missed the penalty deliberately is beyond absurd. Who wouldn't want to grasp the glory of a win in the Cup Final and having scored a penalty to clinch it? Something that would stay with a player for the rest of his life. Simply ridiculous.
Bollocks. There's no way a player would miss a penalty in a cup final. Also, look at him here:

He wanted to win. He's a prat, granted but to say he missed on purpose isn't fair.
Gestede's pen was just as bad as Gerrard's.Absolute shyte, the pair of them!
I was at the game and have never watched any of it back.
Getting them to penalties and then messing it up, even after they missed one I think, is just about typical of us.
I agree though - what an opportunity to win something. I don't ever recall us looking like beating Portsmouth in the FA Cup Final (another game that I have never watched back).
