I’m all for it, it’s quite a skill to master.

It’s much easier to take a conventional penalty than to take a stutter penalty in my experience.

I took two competitive penalties in my playing days and scored both in the conventional way and wouldn’t have had the technique to stutter.
Ronaldo did actually stop in his run up, I still maintain that it should have been disallowed.
