Murray's first goal

[Green Cross Code Man]

We won 5-0 no need for being negative tonight. I'm sure there will be stages during the season when you can have your fill

No one is being negative. Why can't you understand? I thought Murray was brilliant today, absolutely outstanding but the first, from the east lower, looked like he'd fluffed it. That's not negative, as the other poster said, it shows that the angle the shot is viewed from can be deceptive!

Who is being negative?

Wasnt it a foul on the keeper

Looked it from the north west

Goalkeeper had taken a poor touch, and wasn't in control of the ball.

Had he been in control of the ball, I'm sure the ref would have given a free-kick.

East Upper half way line. I thought he'd blown it when it hit the post.
Realise now he was just showing off Alan Mullery style*

*On his first day as manager he kicked a ball at the goal post from the half way line and hit it first time, allegedly.

He very nearly cocked it right up. Lucky it went in. Thankfully today was our day.

Of course he did. He was really lucky with his other two - being in the right place at the right time. And, how on earth did the ball land on Dunk's head and rebound into the goal, not forgetting Knocky's slip when the ball came off his foot and fortuitously loop over their goalie. I am absolutely amazed that we won 5-0, stroke of luck that.

In times gone by that would have hit the post and a Norwich player would have recovered it, then we'd go on to lose 1-0.

It did look like he'd fluffed it from the East Upper, other angles show it was always going in.

Yes, celebrations in ESU took a split second longer as it really did look like he had hit the post. But with all the injuries last year and now again two players out for 3 months, I will take any bit of luck that we get as thoroughly deserved.

Where we were, in the East lower, everyone took a few moments to celebrate as they were waiting for the refs whistle it seemed. Once it was sure there was no whistle or linesman's flag then it started.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

... and Chris Hughton just stood there, accepting that Murray might have nearly missed?

At the very least, Murray should be called in for extra training on Sunday.

Good refereeing by the ref many would have penalised him for what was a good old fashioned shoulder to shoulder barge which so often are not permitted now.
