El Abd, miss of the season or indeed ever?!!

[clippedgull]

Yesterday, an inch from the goal line or was he setting Noone up for his superb strike.

As someone next to me said, a season or two ago he would have been hung, drawn and quartered by the Withdean faithful, yesterday we just laughed!

 

[Icy Gull]

Not as much as I laughed at Barnes airshot

 

[Revilop]

Both were hilarious!

I'm pleased to say the Withdean faithful, have become a bit more educated these days, we react with far more poise these days. Shocking miss, but "worst ever?" Not a chance, just off the top of my head there was one by Kanu in his brief West Brom (I think) days when he was virtually on the goal-line and in the middle of the goal, and somehow put it over the bar. Kanu defeated almost every law of physics and trig with that one.

I did leave it open to interpretation! But yes, Kanu's effort was pretty shocking!

It was undoubtedly the worst miss I have ever seen from a Brighton player. It's often said 'it would have been easier to score' but this was one of the few occasions where it was actually true! Just a good job we were two up at the time!

Revells miss was worse, but thankfully Orient had another player to bang it in.

I saw Glenn put an arm round his shoulders after. Nice to see.

The one and very same Adam Rooney that did score a hatrick against us.

Barnes air shot was a comedy classic

El abd was wide of the goal post at an acute angle. Missable - and he did. Revell's was far, far worse btw. Saw Tony Grealish miss from one yard in front of the North Stand at the Goldstone. He was actually in front of the goal and managed to lift it over the bar!!

 

[Bean]

It was a bad miss, but not the worse ever as it wasn't directly in front of goal.

Agree completely. He was also sliding in and difficult to control a ball like that. Would have loved to have seen Adam score a goal at Withdean. Would have been the icing on the cake for what's been a brilliant season for him.

Surely the miss of the season was when someone scored and Murry went to hit the rebound back into the net in front of an open goal and the ball virtually left the ground ?

Do me a favour! Acute angle?! He was practically level with the near post! It was a terrible, terrible miss - fortunately for him he was an absolute monster at the back again, and remains on course for my Player of the Season vote.

I agree, yeah he should have scored and if he was left footed he probably would have done. I think the problem was that he needed to get a bit of curl to score from there and being right footed couldnt quite manage it. As already said, Revells miss for Orient was 10 times worse.

The Revell miss teed up on the link BBC iPlayer - The Football League Show: 12/02/2011

Cracking goal for Andy Whing. Good to see our ex-players enjoying themselves.
