It's a terrible way to lose. The first final I played in Mens' Football, as a keeper, I kept a clean sheet for 120 minutes. It was 3-3 after 5 penalties each, then we had to choose one man each to take them. Their bloke was late thirties and I found out later a former pro'. We lost 8-7 in the end. He was bloody brilliant. I was good on penos, but I couldn't even get close ....... Kept a clean sheet, lost and ended up feeling I let my mates down. 44 years later I haven't come to terms with it. Administrators should have penalties shoved up their collective arse.
