Your Favourite Things About Football?

[Easy 10]

I love those goals when you KNOW its a goal well before the ball ripples the net. Sometimes you just get that perfect viewpoint when you can see its on target/curling in all the way, and its going to be well beyond the despairing dive of the keeper.

Sadly the latest one of these I can vividly recall was Orients 2nd in the last minute at Brisbane Road last season

Getting bored during the game so forced to read the programme. then looking up, watching afew second of the game and realising that the Albion are still SHIT

 

[Simster]

Enjoying a hearty chuckle at the sad MONGS who cry when their team gets relegated on the last day of the season.

 

[The Spanish]

retaken penalties

faded or ageing former stars plying their trade in the lower leagues taking abuse good naturedly

listening to lads hamming up their accents at northern tea bars at half time trying to be charming and impress the girls serving

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Ernest!

 

[Uncle Buck]

The pub time before and after the game.

The game itself has a habit of ruining an otherwise good day.

 

[Stoichkov]

How about goals where the ball rebounds out from the back of the net and the scorer either smashes the ball back into the net or, even better, up into the back of the stands

Hartlepool away on a tuesday night.

 

[Superphil]

How about goals where the ball rebounds out from the back of the net and the scorer either smashes the ball back into the net or, even better, up into the back of the stands

Or what about when the ball bounces out of the net and the ref doesn't give the goal to Palace

great thread mate - IMHO, and much of this is agreeing with others;
not just off the bar and in but off the post and in too...
jumpers for goalposts, mum calling you in for tea (again I know)
injury time 1-0's
away atmosphere as was when we stood like baked beans
full stretch diving headers
night games, nothing like floodlights for focusing you on the pitch
winning away from home
over achieving against patently better opposition, something we can all appreciate
watching my little boy take to the game, despite being surrounded by AFL, like a duck to water
relegation and promotion battles
so many things, so little time.....

 

[house your seagull]

the delay - like a big football vortex of emotion - when you score away from home at the opposite end to where you're standing

the pause is inbetween the ball crossing the line and the fans erupting. it must be about a third of a second or something.

 

[xenophon]

Football is war, but with fewer casualties.

 

[Storer68]

shots (or headers) that hit the inside of BOTH posts, go along the goal line and stay out

 

[SNOOBS]

Winning

 

[rcf0712]

shots (or headers) that hit the inside of BOTH posts, go along the goal line and stay out

or even better go in.....

 

[Mendoza]

Don't get us to give you answers to smooch this girl over...

she doesnt even like football, so asked why i keep going to the arse end of nowhere to watch it.

Anyway back to the topic.....

when an attacker SKINS a defender by mis controlling the ball but claiming it as SKILL

How about goals where the ball rebounds out from the back of the net and the scorer ... smashes the ball back into the net

It's a GOAL. And another!

Usually called 'doing a Bas'.
