[Albion] Andone’s goal

[casbom]

I keep wondering why didn't Tomkins put it behind for a corner when he had the ball, instead he appears to try and pass it back to Sakho but due to his momentum he doesn't get enough on the pass and basically lays on a perfectly weighted pass straight into Andone's path. Idiot.

Shit scared of getting a red and until Andone stroked it into the net, with the angle and ‘top international’ goalie to beat, a goal was still unlikely. Plus it all happened in fractions of second.

 

[SeagullCrow]

It's a complete joke they didn't give it some air-time, as was the whole 'analysis' of our game.

I know we're not a big club, and they generally won't talk about us as much as the top 6, but this week they were particularly poor.

Anyway, on the subject of Andone's goal - each time I watch it (and I've seen it so many times now that even I'm starting to think there's something a little wrong with me) I still can't believe he scores, and I just start grinning like a maniac.

I agree. I honestly believe that Keown didn't actually watch the game. His 'analysis' amounted to a simple recap of the highlights clip that was just shown. Incredibly lazy bit of punditry, for which he gets paid thousands of pounds worth of licence fee payers' money.

His goal reminds me of the one Bale scored against Barca in the Spanish cup a few years back. People were going mad for that one around the world but Andone’s one doesn’t even get mentioned on MOTD.

Thing that annoyed me most about MOTD is that both on Saturday and Wednesday Lineker and his cronies went out of their way to crowbar in a discussion of how well Benitez is doing at the Toon. they’re 3 points in front of the much-maligned Hudds, and 2 in front of “not Prem standard” Cardiff. They’re not in the bottom 4 largely due to the spawniest of wins when Watford absolutely battered them 0-1 and then B’muff were the better side when they lost 1-2. How on Earth is that “doing a fantastic job”?

This. Both ridiculous and exciting. I expected Andone to leg it up the pitch as far as possible and maybe get a throw or at best corner to see the first half out. His speed, and then his wonderful first touch, instilled unrealistic hope and then just as it seemed that palace would clear, Tomkins laid it on a plate and Florine placed it beautifully. That roar from the Amex, was imo the biggest one yet and I don't remember celebrating a goal like that, or feeling like that since we won promotion. To score 3 with ten men and the third coming in that manner was VERY VERY special.

Reading that got me all tingly as I remembered the emotion I felt at that goal going in.

Much Like the Isquirdo goal v Stoke away. Now that goal was absolutely sublime and not analysed

 

[Hugo Rune]

He made three Premier League footballers look idiots.

True but the Palace back line are truly woeful.
No wonder they are so low in the table. We have so more quality than them in terms of centre backs and goals keepers (and strikers actually).

Stll here, at the 13:24 mark:

So many people in the ES missed it, getting their pints in. But they’ll always claim they saw it.

Likewise WS..but cameras weren't pointing that way

Agreed. I was just making the point that, irrespective of who they were, our Florin did spectacularly well.

I've said elsewhere that I did not enjoy our games against west Ham and Wolves where we were hanging on to a one goal lead. I had no such feelings at all on Tuesday night, which emphasises the gulf you highlight.

Because he's a magician, who has managed to do SO well with a Championship squad.... NOT.

and sure the touch from Tomkins was poor, but having run that far many would have given up once the defender got a challenge in, but he was still sharp enough to keep going and score. Not to mention his first touch, at full pace, which was inch perfect.

I'm struggling to think of when I've last enjoyed a goal that much. Zamora's length of the pitch run and volley against Huddersfield was pretty sweet (for nostalgic reasons), as was Ulloa's goal against Palace (as we'd ripped them apart). Spanish Dave's was pretty sweet that day too.

I think the feeling of going from pure fear that we were down to 10 and about to watch 70 minutes of wave after wave of palace attack (didn’t materialise in the end), to pure ecstasy as balogun volleyed home rates highly in terms of enjoyment.

 

[Questions]

It never surprises me how they skip over us ‘cannon fodder’ for the big boys because I have been watching and listening to general Premier League coverage for years. If we get a result against one of the top boys it’s because of their shortfalls and not our attributes. Laugh at it and remember we are Prem 2 and are treated as such. Hi

This. I thought the same. No mention of our stout defending down to 10 men and scoring 2 goals with 10. Said push on Murray before the corner wasn't a pen and didn't even mention Andones goal. Biased 'London Club' punditry. As bad a Palarses defending - Lazy.

Oh, silly me. Thanks for clarifying

You wanna bet pal?

Yes I bet you a werther's original...

 

[Perry Milkins]

yay!

From the Argus match report archive:

"Dunk failed to cleanly control a routine pass from Bruno and, as the ball ran away from him, tripped the goalbound Yannick Bolasie....."

Is that proof now?

 

[el punal]

I don't think his goal is quite as good as being made out. If Tomkins wasn't cripplingly useless he wouldn't have scored......

Au contraire. It was a wonderful goal because it was so unexpected. Bernardo hoofs it upfield to the touchline knowing that the halftime whistle is just about to blow and we can regroup still at 2-0. Andone seizes the moment, and I thought he was going to take it to the Palace corner flag to waste time, how wrong I was. With no little skill, pace, strength and finally, accuracy, Andone scores one of THE goals that Albion fans will remember for a long time. Perfect timing too, as the ref blows for halftime five seconds after Palce restart.
