ANyone here ever missed a penalty in eleven a side? I need some solidarity!

Won us a penaly at 5-0 sunday, i say 'won' i got chopped right in the corner of the box on the touchline when going nowhere, strange foul.

Anyhoo, as the Adam Drury of our team i never score, so seeing as the result was safe I was 'given' the penalty to take.

Not a good one, was never set up right, keeper saved but spilled it.
It ran across the line, hit the other post and came out.
I just stood there thinking "i've missed but its going in off the post' instead of running 8 yards and just tapping it in!
Its driving me mad, i may never get a better chance!
