This is fixtures, but what is 57 metres in English anyway?

Cracking header, i wonder if it would have beaten a keeper

No. It roled slowly in, straight down the middle

The thing that winds me up about this, is the commentator. Saying they need a new keeper. I imagine they were losing at the time, thus why he went up for the corner to try and salvage a result. Either that or he's a renegade maverick, in which case he might have a point.

Sorry, I realise that last post made no sense if you watched the video in the original post. I mean this one:

I'm wondering why they had to get the police in to measure the distance

And whether they measured it from where the reporter was standing, or 10 yards closer, where the header was.

What's that in hands? Or in other words, how many horse heights?

 

[NMH]

What is admirable is that he actually went for it - the ball wasn't rebounding with it's own great velocity but from his putting some neck into directing it goalward.
It was rolling at pace as it crossed the line too, so an excellent momentary decision to go for goal.
