    I'd say there isn't really. A penalty is given because it is literally giving the attacking side the easiest possible means of scoring a goal. Given which, for a highly-paid professional whose main purpose is scoring goals to miss such an opportunity is very much professional negligence.

    Let us never undertake any enterprise, lest we make a mistake and lose a few passengers or miss a penalty.

    Your brave new world seems to me a joyless, dispiriting place.
    I'm not saying don't undertake the enterprise, I'm just saying don't fúck it up.

    That's ridiculous! It's his first season, and he's gotten the Golden Boot. Why not blame the goal conceded by Kolasinac in the Utd game? Eh?

    You appear to have failed to factor in the highly-paid professional goalkeeper trying to stop the goal being scored here, b.

    Missing the target, that is professional negligence. Maybe.

    He did a good job but, not a great one. All season commentators kept saying ‘Aubameyang, oh he doesn’t miss many of those’. What player were they watching? The guy misses 3-4 sitters in every game.

    Dear God. You even included the 'highly-paid' bit. Is this an audition for AFTV?

    The universe doesn't really work like that though. Who knows what would have happened after that game?

    The whole team and manager have been collectively at fault for the end of season collapse imo which has seen the St Totts drought extend into a third year.

    And Bergkamp missed a big pelanty with dramatic consequences.

    It most definitely is not. It may be a grave error, but professional negligence it most certainly isn't.

    For a footballer to be guilty of professional negligence, he would need to fail to turn up on time for kick off. Once he is on the pitch he is performing tasks which, by their very nature, are prone to failure. If they were not, every game would finish 0-0.

    Nonsense. Anything below 25 league goals shouldn’t even count as a golden boot season.
