Agree. Probably knew Shepard was nervous and come from non-league. So stepped up to the plate instead. After the first 5 pens, there’s not always an order anyway. Christ - people hammer players for not having the b@lls to step up, then they do, and get hammered for it.
As an aside this bodes well for rest of season. The young lads can come in and give it a real go when called upon and Cotter showed some real class.
How do you know? Why give it out to someone when you don’t know the full story? Surely that’s far worse than what you’re actually accusing the player of?
