Anyone refusing to take pens should never be given the chance again. Don't care if that means Gomes would have to take them, so be it.
Don't follow your logic at all. In fact I think that's completely unfair, bordering on stupid
It's all about confidence. Would you prefer a player who felt who stood a high likelihood of missing take one?
WLWH - Thats a bit harsh on Pav.
All players have days where they don't feel right or confident - maybe not happy with their performance or something.
I would rather a player actually pass it on, then take a pen when their confidence is down. he has scored pens, and i'm sure he will fight to take pens in the future.
If a striker feels he doesn't have the confidence to score from a free shot on goal from 12 yards then what's he doing on the pitch?!
If the orders from the manager are that you're the main penalty taker for the game it's pretty shocking to pass on the responsibility.
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh cos my general mood has been fucked over this morning. Dunno!

Knowing that he's penalty specialist, russian fans on spurs.ru don't want to believe me. Giving the example when he took responsibility from Ignashevich against England and scored a winner.
I could not believe myself he didn't fancy a pen at 2-0 up in easy game.
many forwards don't take pens.
Henry would never take a pen he earnt for example. Not exactly the same but still an example of a striker not taking it but i assume you agree the annoying great man should be on the picth despite that?
But it's pav and you couldn't care if he was at the club or not so find it easy to have that view on him. It's not like he's done an Ince in a shoot out. There were several other good players on the picth to take a pen. Bale's pen was shocking but Pav not taking it seems a bigger issue.
and lets not lose sight of the fact that the why's and wherefor'se we're reported to us by Rednapp. If Harry wants us to think pav shirked it, then he'll word it that way. If infact pav's reason was becasue it wasn't a vital Pen and that bale asked for it and pav said "go on them monkey man" we'll not know if it's only harrys version of it we hear.
